kiln dryer

[arboriculturist]

We now live next to yard, so refuel at 9 pm then about 5-6 am

 

Takes about 15 mins to reload etc

 

Just done a year, £20k of RHi

Paid for within 2 years! Cost £38k

 

GF so far there good to deal with

 

Has any one had audit from Ofgem yet?

 

Have you an idea of fuel and associated labour costs that need to be deducted from the 20K RHI ? Thanks

Well I'm struggling a bit at the moment. With the wettest month on record for 105 years in Scotland, all my offcuts are soaked and I can't get the temperature past about 38c. I'm going to get a heat exchange to aid with the moisture removal.

 

Bloody weather!

It kept going a fair bit! I'm on a decent rhi rate

5-7 days for about 18 cubic metres

 

Lancer - With a woodchip boiler delivering 100kwh constantly and a 20ft insulated kiln you would dry 16m3 in 3-4 days for a lot less fuel. The more and more I think about your situation I think you are better off using your existing woodchip boiler.

As you can see R5 is being realistic about drying times with a B Boiler - 5 - 7 days and you can be sure he has decent dry fuel.

does anyone use a diesel burner to heat the kiln?

surely less investment, no down time to refuel etc, and a constant 24 hour heat
