Heat is something that you all need these days. Hot Air Furnaces are the devices that blow hot air into your house and other areas producing warmth. You can operate these furnaces using various sources like gas, oil, petrol and most importantly Biomass.

Consequences of Pollution

As you already know, the world is becoming polluted by the minute. The pollution is caused due to various elements called as green house gases. These gases are produced due to many processes and one such process is the burning of fossil fuels. What these polluted green houses gases do is, they gather up in the atmosphere and make holes in the ozone layer of the stratosphere.

This will induce the penetration of harmful UV radiations into the earth giving rise to many skin and genetic problems. In addition to that, these harmful radiations will also melt the ice bergs in Antarctica leading to a rise in sea water level. Due to that rise in sea level, many coastal areas are facing the danger of submerging. So, if one says that the whole mankind is in danger due to the simple oil you use, it could well and truly be correct.

Getting to know the Alternative Energy sources

So, it becomes very important for us to use alternative energy sources wherever possible. In devices like Hot Air Furnace, you can use Biomass. Biomass is a renewable source of energy which is obtained from the bio-matter of living organisms. Wood Waster and hydrogen are usually considered as the Biomass matter but living plants can also be used as biomass fuels.

Working system of a domestic Biomass Hot Air Furnace

A Building Thermostat is the device that is attached to the walls of the building. When the temperate goes below a set value, the thermostat will sense that and starts the process. After that, the furnace will start working.

You should give a fuel source inside the furnace and in our case it is biomass. This fuel source will start burning and it will continue to do so until it reaches the highest value. Then the fuel blower is attached to this setup and it will continue to produce warm air.

The hot air is produced inside the heat exchanger and it will exchange the heat with the metal inside the exchanger. After exchanging enough heat, the warm air will be given out and it will spread inside the room through a vent. The hot air is carried to the vent through a valve.

There is a blower inside the furnace which will collect the cool air from the room and send it to the metal inside the exchanger. The metal will convert the cool air into hot air and it will then send it to the vent through the value. This process continues as long as the user keeps the switch on.

One main advantage of this process is that you are not polluting the environment in any way. You are only using Biomass materials such as wood and organic plants as the fuel sources which are good to the environment.
