To properly function, a pellet stove uses electricity and can be
plugged into a normal wall outlet. A pellet stove, like
an automatic coal stoker, is a consistent heater consuming fuel that is
fed evenly from a refillable hopper into the burn-pot (a perforated
cast-iron basin), through a motorized system. The most commonly used
distributor is an auger system that consists of a spiral length of metal
encased in a tube. This mechanism is either located above the burn-pot
or slightly beneath and guides a portion of pellet fuel from the hopper
upwards until it falls into the burn-pot and begins to combust.
Fan systems are necessary for clean, economical performance. The flame
produced is concentrated and intense as a combustion blower introduces
air into the bottom of the burn-pot. While some pellet stoves will be
hot to the touch (especially on the viewing window), most manufacturers
utilize a series of cast-iron heat exchangers that run along the back
and top areas of the visible firebox.

With a convection blower, room air is circulated through the heat
exchangers and directed into the living space. This method allows for
a much higher efficiency than the radiant heat of a hand-fed wood or
coal stove, and will in most cases cause the top of the stove to be
not more than warm to the touch.
Along with convection air, an exhaust fan forces air from the firebox
through special venting specifically made for pellet fuel. This cycle
of circulation is an integral part of the combustion system as well,
for the concentrated high-temperature flame will quickly overheat the
firebox. The possible problems associated with overheating are
electrical component failure and flames traveling into the auger tube
causing a hopper fire. As safeguards, all pellet stoves are equipped
with heat sensors enabling the controller to shutdown if any safe
conditions are exceeded. |
