A pellet stove is a stove that burns compressed wood or biomass pellets to create a source of heat for residential and sometimes industrial spaces. By steadily feeding fuel from a storage container (hopper) into a burn pot area, it produces a constant flame that requires little to no physical adjustments.
Pellet boilers are used as central heating systems for heat requirements (heating load) of more than 3.9 kW . But pellet central heating systems are not only used in single- or two-family homes (up to 30 kW), but also for larger residential or business units with heat requirements of a few hundred kW.
When a hot ember ignites the nests, the fire can be just as serious as one caused by ignition of soot. In very old houses, the chimney may also be very large and thick enough to withstand the fire. The high temperatures may affect the strength of the chimney causing distortion of metal structures, and potential failure of ceramic structures.
Exposure of preschool children living in homes heated with wood burning stoves or in houses with open fireplaces yielded these effects: decreased pulmonary lung function in young asthmatics; increased incidence of acute bronchitis and severity/frequency of wheezing and coughing; and increased incidence, duration, and possibly severity of acute ...
