Automatisk tändning till modern vedpanna
If you have access to wood, a wood burning boiler is a cheap way to heat your home, but it is certainly not the most convenient option. Wood requires many operations and management, which takes time. One way to reduce this workload is to have a modern boiler with automatic ignition. Enertech/CTC has a desire to create an accessory with automatic ignition to a modern wood burning boiler. Today there is no boiler on the market that can ignite firewood automatically without the introduction of paper and sticks. A comfortable ignition with a timer, temperature and GSM control means that the boiler can compete with other modern heating alternatives on the market. During the project we used our knowledge in construction, energy technology and the CAD program Catia V5. In the process different prototypes were manufactured and tested. The tests gave us ideas for the final design. We finally came to a result in which the wood is ignited by flowing air which is heated by an electric radiator. The module can be bought as an accessory and installed in an existing boiler. The report describes the methods we used, from problem definition to final solution and results.The thesis work has been done partly in secrecy so the report will describe some areas limited.
