All wood pellets systems needs a storage to store the fuel. In many cases the most efficient way of getting the maximum available volume from the smallest foot print is to build a bespoke storage to fit the house and system. There are many ways and designs available to get your own system fit for purpose. Under the download section of our web page there is a simple guide available for download which is answering some of the common questions raised when planning for a storage solution. We always recommend a discussion with the fuel supplier as well before starting to design and build the storage. All markets and suppliers has their own recommendations and it is important to follow these in order to get the best possible fuel quality in to the storage.
The illustration above shows the simplest form of a bespoke storages. It is built as a box with a flat base. Inside the storage our suction intakes can then be used to vacuum the pellets to the boiler. The benefit of this typ of solution is the available volume for pellets in comparison to the foot print of the storage. Since there is no inclines inside the storage all of the volume is used for fuel. The downside of this typ of storage is that it takes more suction intakes in order to empty the storage.
In the above see through illustration the suction intakes is visible as well as the switch over plates connecting the suction intakes back to our boiler.
In the above example four suction intakes is used in order to empty the storage. The suction intakes is then hosed back to the switch over plates so that all of the intakes can be connected indivudally to the Effecta Komplett III.
Above three blank connection plates is visible and one connection plate for the hoses going the Effecta Komplett III. Also an inspection glass is visible, we recommend an inspection glass to see the pellet level.
The illustration above shows a storage with an incline from one side. The incline of course reduces the available volume of pellets but also reduces the amount of suction intakes. With the help of the incline the pellets falls in to one point of the storage and the suction intakes will therefore empty the storage more efficiently. If space is available this solution is preffered in comparison with the flat base solution.
In the above see through illustration the incline and the suction intakes is visible. The pellet intake nozzles is hosed back to the switch over plates.
In the above illustration two suction intakes is used in order to empty the storage. The dimension is exaclty the same as the example at the top of the page with flat base but still only two intakes is used. The suction intakes is then hosed back to the switch over plates so that all of the intakes can be connected indivudally to the Effecta Komplett III.
Above one connection plate is visible and one connection plate for the hoses going the Effecta Komplett III.
Also an inspection glass is visible, we recommend an inspection glass to see the pellet level.
