What is a corn burning furnace?
At this age, growing dependence on foreign fuel sources is looking for many Americans a source of renewable fuel closer to home. Because the US is one of the leading corn manufacturers, it is no wonder that people are interested in a specific type of heating known as corn burning furnace. In some regions of the Earth, maize burning furnace would not be practical, because there is no immediate fuel source, but in the entire Midwest the corn is easily accessible and relatively cheap.
Bushel from the maize shell provides four times the heat generated by a single gallon (3.78 liters) of propane, or 352 800 British units) compared to 91,500 BTTus. Compared to prices, the heating heater of the corn is very well chased. While the pound of corn can move in price due to market fluctuations, for comparison purposes, assume, the passage rate is $ 2 (US dollars) per pound, verses $ 1 per gallon propane. Based on these numbers you would have to burn a propan worth $ 1 per 50 cents of corn to create with withthe amount of heat.
Technological progress in the last decade has improved the efficiency of the furnace for corn burning. The maize of the shell is supplied from the local feed and stored in a metal storage basket to protect it from moisture and pests. When the thermostat activates the furnace, the baskets open to pour the corn into the fireplace, where a small fan provides air circulation for corn burning. The generated heat is then sent via the heat exchange system in the same way as it will be circulated in the gas furnace system.
corn burning furnace can generate enough energy to supply heat to the whole room or house. Although the unit is large and requires quite a bit of space, one of them will provide years of service with substantial energy savings.
Many manufacturers offer corn furnace in different styles and sizes. There is also a stove for corn burning and an ovenA, as well as the fireplace inserts. The corn burned in the fireplace does not feel, unlike wood. Other products include heaters of maize space and hot water heaters.
