The switch to high efficiency wood burning was
prompted by 1. Generate more heat from the same volume of wood respecting the conservation
principle
2. Operate a system to heat our entire home
3. Eliminate as much smoke and smell as possible therefore lessening the
environmental impact

What are the main components of high efficiency wood
heating system?
1. The boiler
2. The thermal storage system or buffer tank
• Pressurized
• Unpressurized
3. Heat delivery to home
• Hot air coil
• Baseboard heaters
• Radiant floor heating
4. Controls
• Boiler return water
• Terminal devices
