What are kiln briquettes?

Briquettes for the furnace or eurofirewood, as they are sometimes called, are compressed products of the processing of various materials. In the process of processing raw materials under the action of high pressure, more moisture comes out of it. Due to this, the finished product is characterized by low humidity and high calorific value.

Composition of briquettes

The materials for the manufacture of eurofirewood are usually various tree species, straw, cereal or seed husks, peat and coal. Let's consider them in more detail.

Kinds

The method of processing raw materials plays an important role. I take into account the manufacturing process, briquettes can be divided:

• Piny-kay. Fuel having the highest density of 1.40 g/cm3. Behind the form they are similar to a cube or a hexagon, which has a hole in the middle. Due to the air inside the recess, even combustion is ensured.
• Products of low density - 0.8 g/cm3. These are squares or rectangles made from the smallest particles of material. Differ in high heat conductivity and long burning. Easy to store, transport, do not take up much space.
• Products from large sawdust with an average density. Their disadvantages can be considered rapid combustion, frequent loss of shape and deformation. Due to low production costs, they have a relatively low price.

Advantages and disadvantages

Heating with an alternative type of fuel has its positive and negative sides.

Pros:

• High calorific value and heat transfer. These figures are significantly higher for alternative fuels than for conventional logs.
• Long burning time. Therefore, their consumption is much less than that of firewood or coal.
• Uniform combustion. Briquettes burn without unnecessary noise and smoke. And ashes form less than coal or firewood. This simplifies the cleaning of the furnace device after their use.
• Slight emission of resinous substances. Thanks to this, the chimney does not clog.
• Long shelf life. Briquettes can be stored from 1 to 5 years (depending on the production).
• Environmental friendliness. The product is natural, without various impurities. Safe for people and the environment.

Minuses:

• Prices for briquette fuel are higher. Firewood is much cheaper. But thanks to economical consumption, the costs pay off.
• The acquisition of such goods in some cities or towns is difficult.
• Store products in accordance with the instructions. Therefore, a clean and dry place should be prepared.
• The ash emits a pungent odor.

Briquettes or firewood?

Although eurofirewood is usually made from wood waste, they are completely different in characteristics. Eurowood is aesthetic and easy to store and use. They burn slowly and give more heat. But the amount of heat from briquettes is much less than from firewood.

Therefore, it will take a little longer to heat the house in severe frosts than with wood heating. And this brings some inconvenience. The ash content of the alternative fuel is low.

But their ashes have a pungent odor that others may not like. Briquettes do not create aesthetic pleasure, because they burn without noise and crackling. Using firewood is much more pleasant: you can make a cozy atmosphere.

What is better to heat the stove with wood or briquettes? There is no single answer to this question. The optimal home heating scheme: burning both types of fuel (classic and alternative) at the same time.

It is better to reach the optimum temperature with the help of ordinary firewood, and then only maintain it with briquettes. The use of briquettes alone should be used for long-burning furnaces. So you save yourself from the need to constantly put a new batch of firewood.

What briquettes are better to use?

Different types of briquettes have different levels of calorific value. This feature should be considered when choosing a product, because it is the most important. Sawdust briquettes are considered the best option.

These fuel briquettes are better for a stove in a house, bathhouse, cottage or other room. They have a high heat output, burn for a long time, leave little ash, are easy to use and transport, and do not pollute the air.

Briquettes of seed and softwood husks also have good performance, but due to the presence of oils, they pollute the chimney. As a result, the heating device will require frequent cleaning.

Before buying, pay attention to the structure and moisture content of the product. If it is deformed or crumbles when pressed, it is better to refuse such a purchase. And high humidity reduces the thermal efficiency of the product. Prefer Pini-kay fuel. It has maximum density, burns more evenly and longer.

In general, fuel briquettes must be distinguished by the type of raw materials used in them. The main raw materials are sawdust, peat, charcoal straw and even sunflower husks...

Adviсe

Task: Tell the composition of fuel briquettes.

Solution: Fuel wood chip briquettes are cylindrical, normalized, pressed products from dry wood residues. The composition may vary, but mainly it is sawdust, wood chips, remnants of forest wood, shavings, grinding dust. Fuel briquettes, depending on the composition of combustible components, can be used as graded fuel for combustion in household and industrial furnaces with layered combustion on a grate or as graded raw materials for producing coke in the coke-chemical and metallurgical industries. The essence of the invention: fuel briquette for layered combustion contains a mixture of crushed solid fuel with a solution of a binder - a derivative of sulfonic acid, for example, sodium salt of methylenenaphthalene sulfonic acid or lignosulfonate, with a moisture content of more than 9 wt.%, enclosed in a closed combustible shell, while the volume of the solidified mixture is equal to the internal volume of the shell.

What you need to know about fuel braces.

Wood fuel briquettes are made from sawdust and do not contain any harmful binders.

Fuel briquettes are widely used and can be used for all types of furnaces, central heating boilers, wood and coal boilers. They burn well in fireplaces, stoves, grills.

Eurowood has a number of undeniable advantages over other traditional fuels such as firewood or coal.

The main advantages of our Eurowood:
Only 1 ton of fuel briquettes replaces 5 (five!) cubic meters of dry birch firewood. Eurowood is very convenient to store and use.
Just imagine, a whole woodpile is placed on just 1 sq.m. area. Instead of a shapeless pile of firewood unloaded in the middle of the yard and which still needs to be moved and put into a woodpile, you get a neat stack of fuel briquettes on a pallet measuring 1.2 x 0.8 m.
High burning time. Eurowood burns 3-4 times longer than ordinary firewood!
That is, the fuel in the furnace needs to be laid much less often.
Fuel briquettes give 2 times more heat than ordinary firewood. Their calorific value is almost equal to the calorific value hard coal. In addition, they provide a constant temperature throughout the combustion, burn with a minimum amount of smoke, do not shoot, do not spark.
After burning fuel briquettes, only 1% of ash remains, which can be used as fertilizer. For comparison, when burning coal, up to 40% of ash and slag is formed, which still needs to be disposed of.
When burning fuel briquettes, no harmful volatile substances are formed. Thus, Eurowood is one of the most environmentally friendly types of fuel.
When using Eurowood, the costs of cleaning and maintaining boilers and furnaces tend to zero, and the service life of the equipment is significantly increased.
The cost of heating with fuel briquettes is usually much lower than when using conventional wood or coal.

Fuel briquettes both in the taiga and in the country
Fuel briquettes are increasingly included in modern life. In fact, a person is a conservative being, it is even difficult to argue with this. But sometimes there are such products, the benefits of which are immediately visible. And almost immediately I want to experience their useful qualities. Recently, when fuel briquettes have become widely available and are sold not only in specialized stores, but also in construction and even grocery supermarkets, the scope of this alternative type of fuel has begun to expand exponentially. Now you can find fuel briquettes in a variety of places - at construction sites, in central heating systems, in dachas where people like to eat shish kebabs, in the middle of the taiga at the parking lot of harsh geologists. In fact, the use of fuel briquettes can be divided into several groups. The optimal number, perhaps, there will be five - due to the fact that various small uses are easily grouped with more solid areas. First of all, it is worth mentioning fuel briquettes as an ideal way to heat a living space. What this incredibly convenient source of fuel does not use is a variety of boilers, home

Characteristics

Fuel briquettes from sawdust: what are the advantages and benefits.

For many years, sawdust fuel briquettes have been a popular and more economical fuel and are used in many countries around the world. Briquettes are produced from dry sawdust of coniferous and deciduous wood. They can also be made from sunflower husks, rice, buckwheat, flax, oat husks, etc.

Wood briquettes do not include any harmful substances, incl. adhesives. Specially pressed under high pressure and with high temperature, briquettes have the shape of a cylinder. Fuel briquettes are widely used and can be used for all types of furnaces, central heating boilers, wood boilers, etc., they burn perfectly in fireplaces, stoves, grills, etc. The big advantage of briquettes is the temperature constancy during combustion for 4 hours.

A positive aspect when using wood briquettes as fuel is their minimal environmental impact during combustion compared to classic solid fuels with the same calorific value as, for example, coal, but 15 times less ash content (max 1.0%).

The technology for the production of wood fuel briquettes is based on the process of pressing finely chopped wood waste (sawdust) under high pressure when heated, the binding element is LEGNIN, which is contained in plant cells.

High burn time
This means that, compared with conventional firewood, the bookmark in the oven can be done three times less often. Briquettes burn with a minimum amount of smoke, do not shoot, do not spark. This ensures a constant temperature throughout the combustion. After combustion, the briquettes turn into coal, like ordinary firewood, and, in the future, they can cook barbecue or grill.

Calorific value
The calorific value of fuel briquettes is greater than that of ordinary firewood and is almost equal to the calorific value of coal. During the preparation of shish kebabs or grill, when fat gets on the coals of the briquettes, they do not ignite, but continue to smolder or burn with an even low flame. A big advantage of briquettes is the temperature stability during combustion for 4 hours. Heat output of briquettes: sawdust briquettes 4400 kcal or 18 MJ.

Comparative characteristics of the calorific value of briquettes:
wood (solid mass, wet) 2450 kcal/kg
wood (dry solid mass) 2930 kcal/kg
brown coal3910 kcal/kg
briquettes from wood waste4400 kcal/kg
black coal4900 kcal/kg
Environmental friendliness

Fuel briquettes are an environmentally friendly product, since no additives are used in their production. A positive aspect when using wood briquettes as a fuel is their minimal environmental impact during combustion, compared to classic solid fuels with the same calorific value as, for example, coal, but 15 times less ash content (max 1.0%) which can be used as a mineral fertilizer.

Comparative specifications:
Ash content:
black coal 20% ash
lignite 40% ash
briquettes from wood wastefrom 0.12% to 1% ash
Release of CO2 into the air during combustion compared to wood briquettes:
light oils 20 times higher
coal-anthracite 50 times higher
cox 30 times higher
natural gas 15 times higher

Fuel briquettes from charcoal screenings
Briquettes are made from screenings of charcoal, using a special technology that allows you to achieve high quality and environmental friendliness of the product. The principle of briquetting technology is based on the pressing of screenings crushed into dust and mixed with a binder. According to the European fuel classification, fuel briquettes from charcoal screenings belong to the category of smokeless fuel.

Application
Fuel briquettes from charcoal screenings are very compact, do not take up much space, and are convenient for transportation. They are suitable for cooking meat, fish, poultry and other products in barbecues, grills, barbecues, but since they do not emit carbon monoxide, cooking is also possible indoors (cafes, restaurants, verandas, etc.). The food is evenly fried, does not burn, retains juiciness, has an even golden color. It is very convenient to cook food wrapped in foil on briquettes, as in this case food is cooked in its own juice.

Fuel briquettes from charcoal screenings are used as fuel for fireplaces and stoves of all kinds, including solid fuel boilers for heating systems. Since fuel briquettes are an environmentally friendly product and burn almost smokelessly, it is ideal to use them for heating residential premises, baths, tents, greenhouses, vegetable pits, etc.

The burning time of 1 kg of fuel briquette is at least 5-7 hours.

Heat transfer not less than 6550 kcal/kg.

DIY

Making fuel briquettes with your own hands.

Almost any waste can be used for the production of fuel briquettes Agriculture and woodworking. Wood sawdust, sunflower seeds, non-feed waste from the baking industry, plant growing waste and other crops are suitable as raw materials. Making fuel briquettes with your own hands can be done using a compact pelletizer.

The production of fuel briquettes occurs by pressing raw materials at high temperature, as a result of which the released lignin contained in the wood binds the particles into a compact granule. No chemical additives are required in the production process of such fuel.

The production technology is the same for any type of raw material, both for straw and sawdust. Any raw material whose moisture content does not exceed 12% is briquetted. At higher humidity, the raw material must pass through the dryer.

The production stages consist of the following processes:
1. Crushing and grinding of raw materials to obtain a suitable fraction.
2. Drying of raw materials to a moisture level of not more than 12%
3. Pressing.
4. Packaging of finished products.

Do you have your own woodworking company? But you want to make fuel briquettes with your own hands? Thanks to a small compact pelletizer you can realize your desires. Many people who bought a pelletizer never had their own woodworking business. They just bought a pelletizer, installed it in their own or rented premises, found sawdust suppliers and are quietly engaged in the production of fuel briquettes. And it’s good for both, because. at the suppliers of raw materials, the territory is freed from industrial waste, while others process this garbage into money. Think about how many woodworking companies just store garbage on their premises instead of recycling it.

When making fuel briquettes with your own hands, you will not have problems associated with a lack of sales. Pellets are a product that is always in demand all year round. Pelletizers can pay off within 3 months. Since they have high performance, compactness and mobility.

Fuel briquettes are becoming more and more popular today.

They replace conventional firewood and other types of solid fuels. What are the briquettes for furnaces, and in what cases is it better to give preference to them?

Stove briquettes are a kind of solid fuel that has the same shape and the same size. Fuel briquettes tossed
go to the fireplaces, solid fuel boilers and other heating appliances in private homes. Numerous reviews allow us to consider fuel briquettes as an excellent alternative to such familiar firewood or coal.

Basically, briquettes are the result of appropriate processing of products from the woodworking and food industries. They can be made from sawdust, rice or buckwheat husks, and even from seeds, as well as from straw, peat or tyrsa. Binders, sometimes glue, are added to the main component. The composition of the briquettes is indicated on the packaging or in the relevant documentation. The composition affects the strength and shape of the briquettes and, of course, the heat transfer, combustion rate, the amount of soot formed and other indicators that are significant to the user.

Special technologies for the production of briquettes consist in super-strong pressing and maximum drying. Fuel briquettes are often called eurofirewood. This is well-deserved as it is a great alternative to conventional firewood, and meeting high quality standards allows this fuel to burn without the slightest harm to the atmosphere or human health.

1. Fuel briquettes from seeds produce the most heat (5151 kcal / kg), are characterized by the lowest ash content (2.9-3.6%), and also contain a high concentration of oils in their composition. Due to the oil, their energy value increases, but soot clogging of the chimney is also high.
2. Fuel briquettes made of wood are inferior in heat transfer only to pome (5043 kcal / kg). In terms of ash content, they coincide with those of ordinary firewood (0.5-2.5%).
3. Straw briquettes are slightly inferior to pome and wood briquettes in terms of heat transfer, but still their indicator is decent (4740 kcal / kg), but the ash content fails - also rather big (4.8-7.3%).
4. Fuel in briquettes from tyrsa is characterized by a very low ash content (0.7%) and a very decent heat transfer (4400 kcal/kg).
5. Rice husk briquettes are not very profitable - a whole 20% ash content and heat transfer of only 3458 kcal / kg.
6. Peat briquettes deserve special attention. The specificity of the material determines their high ash content and the presence of harmful impurities in the composition. Therefore, they are not recommended for home use, but are more often used in industrial boilers and furnaces, where the underlying need is for low-quality and inexpensive fuel.

Fuel briquettes which shape is best for you take

Fuel briquettes are given a variety of shapes, but not just like that. The shape determines the density of the briquette, and this affects the air circulation in it and determines the combustion process.

Fuel briquettes are given the following three forms:

• Pini-Key - briquettes of the highest density (1.08-1.4 g / cm3), in the form of a square or hexagon with a through hole in the center for the best air circulation;
• Ruf - sawdust briquettes, which are pressed into bricks of small size, but also of low density (0.75-0.8 g / cm3);
• Nestro - cylindrical briquettes with an average density compared to Pini-Key and Ruf (1-1.15 g/cm3).

Advantages of briquettes in comparison with firewood

Numerous experience in the use of fuel briquettes shows that they have a number of advantages over conventional firewood:

• high combustion temperature - on average twice as high as that of firewood; for example, the calorific value of wood is about 2500 kcal / kg, and briquettes - more than 4500 kcal / kg;
• low humidity - drier firewood gives off more heat, but even the most excellent, properly stored firewood has a moisture content of 15-20%; the humidity of the briquettes is estimated at 4-8%;
• high density - denser firewood, for example, oak, burns better, but the density of oak is 0.8 g / cm3, and poplar 0.4 g / cm3; density of briquettes 0.95-1 g/cm3;
• briquettes are much more compact, uniform and long-lasting in burning, they are made from waste, which means harm environment in the process of their manufacture is not applied;
• even the most sooty varieties of briquettes pollute the chimney less than wood burning.

All these advantages of fuel briquettes are due to the technology of their production. The use of special techniques is aimed at ensuring that the product surpasses ordinary firewood in terms of heat transfer, density, humidity, size, and other characteristics.

It would not be fair to say that fuel briquettes are completely devoid of any drawbacks. Among the things that stop the regular use of briquettes, it is worth highlighting:

• high cost in comparison with firewood - however, if we evaluate the performance, then in fact the briquettes will be more profitable;
• strict adherence to storage conditions - in particular, briquettes need to maintain low humidity, when damp, they crumble. A closed and well-ventilated area is required;
• the likelihood of fakes and low-quality briquettes - when buying, it is important to pay attention to the composition of the briquettes, because wood briquettes, for example, can be mixed with soft wood, rotten or old raw materials, chemically treated wood. This adds volume, but reduces quality.

Anti-advertising of firewood on the packaging of fuel briquettes - is it true?
We select portions of fuel briquettes and birch firewood equal in weight.
We kindle both firewood and briquettes with the help of newspapers and birch bark.

Wood briquettes are a modern fuel option. It is made from wood waste - compressed wood chips and sawdust. Wood briquettes are an environmentally friendly type of fuel that does not contain any "chemical" additives. Particle bonding occurs at high pressure due to lignin, a polymer contained in the wood itself. Fuel briquettes are conveniently packed in plastic or in cardboard boxes; they take up little space during transportation and storage. Humidity of fuel briquettes at the correct storage is no more than 8-9%.

When burning briquettes, little ash is formed, they burn longer than firewood, and they emit more heat. At least that's what the ad says. Are there any disadvantages of fuel briquettes? Like everything good and convenient, there is only one drawback - the high price.

Compare prices for firewood and fuel briquettes

In retail, Ruf-type fuel briquettes (in the form of bricks) cost about 70-75 rubles. for 10 kg, and they are sold in bulk for 6,000 rubles. per ton. Since the density of fuel briquettes is about 950 kg/m 3 , we can assume that a cubic meter of fuel briquettes costs about 6,000 rubles. (briquettes of other types are not considered, since their cost is much higher).

How to compare the cost of fuel briquettes with the cost of firewood?

As you know, firewood is most often sold in bulk or stacked. If firewood was brought to you on pallets in stacking, then a cubic meter of such firewood is equivalent to 0.7 cubic meters in terms of dense wood. If firewood was brought to you in bulk in the back of a truck, then with a firewood length of 30-35 cm, a cubic meter will contain only 52% of dense wood.

In other words, to compare the cost of firewood in bulk for dense wood with the cost of fuel briquettes, the cost of firewood should be doubled.

So let's compare prices. Firewood in bulk in the Leningrad region costs 1,500-1,600 rubles. per cubic meter. In terms of dense wood, a cubic meter of firewood will cost 3,000-3,200 rubles. In neighboring regions, firewood can cost about one and a half times cheaper. Thus, a cubic meter of Ruf-type fuel briquettes costs the buyer, depending on the location, 2-3 times more than firewood.

We decided to find out if such a difference in price is worth the declared advertising advantages of fuel briquettes in the form of convenience, increased heat transfer and increased burning time of fuel briquettes. We conducted an amateur experiment, which, although it does not claim to be scientifically reliable, can clarify some aspects of using fuel briquettes instead of firewood.

How briquettes and firewood burn

We compared fuel briquettes made from hardwood sawdust with birch firewood, which is stored under a canopy on outdoors more than a year.

Equalizing the chances of firewood and fuel briquettes in our competition, we selected the amount of firewood equivalent to the mass of two fuel briquettes (approximately 2.2 g). Although the comparison is not entirely adequate: stale firewood can contain from 12% to 25% and even up to % moisture, while in fuel briquettes the moisture content rarely exceeds 8-9%.

For kindling, we put fuel briquettes on paper and birch bark in the fireplace. We put firewood in exactly the same conditions: we melt them with paper and birch bark. Both firewood and fuel briquettes light up and flare up equally well.

The burning of fuel briquettes is slow, the flame is small and ugly. Fuel briquettes burn much more vigorously if they are placed vertically. But if you need a beautiful flame in the fireplace, and you are not ready to burn all the packaging at once, then fuel briquettes are still not for you.

With a small flame, little heat is released - you can safely sit at a distance of 1 m from the fireplace.

But when burning firewood, so much heat is released that I had to move away from the fireplace - it is simply impossible to sit closer than 2 m because of the heat.

The first hour has passed. Briquettes are not particularly reduced in volume and burn themselves slowly. And the firewood had already been smashed into coals, but small flames were still dancing on them. The time of complete (until the flames disappear) combustion of three birch poles weighing 2.2 kg is 1 hour (the anti-advertising of firewood on the packaging of fuel briquettes claimed that firewood burns out in 30 minutes, which is not true).

I had to break the briquettes into coals somewhere in the 90th minute of burning. The total burning time of fuel briquettes is exactly 2 hours, which corresponds to the declared time on the briquettes packaging.

Both firewood and fuel briquettes light up and flare up equally well.

Birch firewood, as expected, burns with a large beautiful flame. Fuel briquettes burn more slowly and give off heat less intensively.

The result of comparing the firebox with briquettes and firewood

Fuel briquettes do burn longer than birch firewood, but the difference is not as great as the description of the briquettes claims. But at the same time, the intensity of heat release during the combustion of firewood is incomparably greater. The amount of ash after briquettes is actually less than after birch firewood, but not at times, as stated, but only by 25-33%.

Thus, in my subjective opinion, a 2-3-fold excess of the price of fuel briquettes over birch firewood in the current price conditions with constant operation does not justify itself economically. Since a large flame is not obtained when burning inexpensive fuel briquettes, their use in fireplaces and in fireplace stoves, which are also installed for aesthetic pleasure from contemplating fire, does not make much sense.

At the same time, fuel briquettes have a number of undeniable advantages: they are compactly packed, leave little debris and less ash. Long time combustion allows less fuel to be added to the stove or fireplace. Although ordinary firewood is better for quickly warming up a cold house, fuel briquettes can be successfully used to maintain the desired temperature in the house.

Since I come to the dacha in the heating season in short trips, it’s easier for me to buy several packages of fuel briquettes in the supermarket than to buy a car of firewood for the season. In the cold season in my house with an area of ​​120 m 2, which is well insulated, it takes two packs of fuel briquettes (20 kg) to warm up on the first day, and to maintain the temperature on the following days - 1 pack per day with slight frosts and 1.5 -2 packs per day in severe frosts (subject to additional heating by several electric convectors).

Thus, each type of fuel has its advantages and disadvantages. Knowing about them, everyone can choose the best type of fuel for themselves, depending on the mode of operation of the house and personal preferences.

The main prerogative of the owner of a country house is to provide his household with maximum comfort.

And, as you know, warm comfort is achieved through the use of a heating system with an efficient heating boiler. Therefore, a good owner, first of all, thinks about what type of fuel to use in the boiler in order to achieve maximum heat transfer.

The modern market of fuel materials is very widely saturated with proposals for the purchase of various types of fuel, the energy efficiency of some could be argued. We propose to consider such a type of raw material for the furnace in the boiler as Ruf fuel briquettes, which today are the leader among other types of fuel.

What are

The fuel material of the German brand Ruf is briquettes, which consist of sawdust and waste of high-quality wood, both hard and softwood, while the composition does not include bark and other illiquid assets of the forest industry.

It is also important that Ruf fuel briquettes contain absolutely no adhesive-based chemicals. First of all, this is due to the technology of making briquettes on a special set of technical devices.

What equipment are they made on?

The technological line for the production of Eurobriquettes Ruf consists of two important structural elements:

• dryer, which is designed to reduce the moisture content of wood chips and sawdust;
• a hydraulic press that directly briquettes the wood material.

result technological process will be briquettes, shaped like a standard brick.

What are the characteristics of

The technical properties of Ruf fuel briquettes are as follows:

• calorific value ranges from 4200 to 4500 kcal/kg;
• the maximum ash content is 1%;
• humidity is in the range of 7–13%;
• the average density of briquettes is 750–800 kg/m3.

Numerical expression of the above characteristics of fuel briquettes Ruf ordinary person probably won't say anything.

To understand the effectiveness of using briquettes of this trademark, let's compare some properties of other types of fuel according to the same indicators:

1. Calorific value:

• brown coal - 3910 kcal / kg;
• wood - from 1500 to 3000 kcal / kg, depending on humidity;
• coal - 4800 kcal / kg;
• briquettes Ruf - an average of 4350 kcal / kg.

Ash content:

• brown coal - 40%;
• peat briquettes - 16%;
• hard coal - 20%;
• briquettes Ruf - 1%.

It is enough to compare two indicators to understand one simple truth: Ruf briquettes are a very effective type of fuel for a heating boiler in a country household!

Benefits of using

Analyzing the above worthy characteristics of Ruf fuel briquettes, it is logical to assume that their use has a number of the following advantages:

• in the process of burning, the briquettes do not have a characteristic crackle, and also do not sparkle;
• have a high degree of heat transfer during prolonged combustion;
• excellent resistance to moisture;
• practicality in use;
• with a uniform investment in the furnace of briquettes and firewood, the heat transfer of the boiler is significantly increased, and the consumption of fuel materials is reduced by 2-4 times;
• briquettes, which contain birch wood, do not leave carbon deposits and tar scale on the walls of the fuel chamber of the boiler, which greatly facilitates the maintenance of this boiler unit;
• occupy a small amount of space during storage, while the cleanliness in the warehouse will be guaranteed.

The above advantages of Ruf fuel briquettes can only say that this is the best type of fuel for a heating boiler in a country house. And in conclusion of the article I would like to dwell on one more aspect.

As you know, transport costs for the delivery of fuel are logically included in its cost. And now let's give an example: a truck with a body volume of 80 m3 at a time can transport 7-8 tons of firewood with dense packing, at the same time, it can deliver 20-24 tons of Ruf fuel briquettes! Draw your own conclusions!

Thus, in this article we have indicated all the important aspects of using fuel briquettes of the Ruf trademark. We hope that our strong arguments will cause you to use only Ruf fuel briquettes to heat your home.
