Installers: Wood Gasification Boilers

Sweden is the world's largest market for wood pellet and wood gasification boilers. In fact, in 2006 Sweden used as many wood pellets as Germany, Austria and Italy combined.

We have chosen Varmebaronen, one of Sweden's largest wood pellet and wood gasification boiler manufacturers as our partner for biomass products.

The Varmebaronen range of wood gasification boilers are downfiring and burn split logs by providing a negative draft from below. This causes around 80% of the dry weight of the wood to be converted into a gas, which burns very efficiently.

The boilers are loaded full of dried wood and lit with a gas torch. The boiler then burns for up to 3.5 hours, delivering up to 120kW of energy into a large buffer tank.

The buffer tank then provides heat as needed to the zones of the building. It delivers heat as required throughout the 24 hours after the wood gasifier's burn cycle.

There are two models available. The Vedolux 30 is a 30kW boiler and must be installed with a minimum buffer size of 1500 litres.

The Vedolux 37 is a 37kW boiler and must be installed with a minimum buffer size of 2000 litres.

Where more than one burn per day is required (e.g. in the case of buildings requiring >120kW per day), a suitably sized larger buffer must be used.

Benefits and Features:

  • Simple yet strongly constructed
  • High quality Swedish product
  • Fan assisted flue keeps chimney height to a minimum
  • Easy to clean, everything accessed from the front.
  • Combustion chamber for 500mm firewood logs

Please note: A dual fuel model, "BIOMAX" is also available which features 2 x 20kW combustion chambers and allows the user to choose between wood gasification or pellets. This model is currently being registered with the SEI. Please contact our technical department if you are interested in more information.

A range of pre-insulated flue is also available. Please follow the link below for more information.

More information on these two boilers and on the flue available can be found by visiting the Wood Gasification Boilers product group.

Buffer Tanks

It is essential that an adequate buffer volume is installed in order to contain the energy delivered by a wood gasification boiler.
