Commercial Wood, Oil combo boilers

John MacGregor

I was wondering if anyone has ever been asked to supply and install a commercial wood and oil combo boiler?
I have a customer that has purchased a vacant factory in upstate New York, he designs and builds log homes. He has a large amount of wasted scraps that could be used for a free source of heating.
If anyone has ever done this type of project,I would love to hear some boiler suggestions and ideas. I would think that you would need to have a redundant source of fuel(such as fuel oil) to maintain system horsepower requirements during emergencies.
If anyone could give me some insight it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

What type of

loads are you looking at in BTU/hr numbers?

I would go with two seperate boilers and pipe them with primary so you do not flow through the unfired one.

A lot more choices in seperate stand alone boilers, both wood and oil fired.
