All starts in the feeding system where sensors detect the need for fuel in the intermediate reserve. When that happens, the feeding conveyor is activated along with the hydraulic unit. A hydraulic system of rakes bring fuel from the fuel reserve to the feeding conveyor.

The intermediate reserve accumulates a sufficient quantity of wood in order to eliminate the delays which can arise when the demand for fuel is high. Then the feeder brings material into the combustion chamber. Once in the combustion chamber, the fire, supplied with a series of fans named "primary and secondary air fans", releases thermal energy. An air vacuum fan makes it possible to maintain a negative pressure of air in the combustion chamber to avoid loss of energy. The boiler, which the condensation tank supplies with water, will use this energy in order to produce the necessary steam energy for the customer's use. |

Concerning the output of the boiler, the steam is forwarded to the steam collector, which feeds it into the network. The safety valves will ensure the evacuation of steam if the pressure reaches critical levels.
 |
The combustion results in the production of ashes and gases which must be evacuated. In this process, the ashes are dropped onto a ashes conveyor after having passed by the ash removing cones and the rotary valves. The gases produced are directed towards the dust collector that filters all the particles. These particles will be also forwarded to the ash exhaust system. The gases are then evacuated towards the chimney. |
Finally, beside the combustion chamber is the control panel, which is used to standardize the variables of this entire process. It is from here that the whole system is managed, from the reserve to the ash disposal. This control area receives and analyses all sensor data. With the received information, necessary adjustments to the settings are made in order to maintain the machine at peak performance.
