The two diagrams illustrate how a pellet stove and a pellet boiler work to heat a house.
Overall, the pellet boiler uses hot water to distribute heat throughout the house by exchanging heat energy with surrounding cold air. On the other hand, the pellet stove uses a combustion air fan to distribute heat energy in the house.
Cold water is pumped through the furnace in the pellet boiler. Wooden pellets are put in the fuel hopper before being passed to the furnace. As they burn, they generate heat that heats cold water in the pipes passing through the furnace. In addition, on the right side of the furnace, there is an ash receptacle When hot water passes through the rooms, it heats surrounding air by heat energy exchange.
In contrast, the pellet stove has a combustion chamber and fan. Similar to the pellet boiler, wooden pellets are loaded into a fuel hopper. From the hopper, the fuel is transferred via a fuel feed mechanism into the combustion chamber, where it is burned. The controls regulate this entire process. Additionally, the ash pan is located under the chamber. Finally, hot air passes through the combustion fan and is blown into the house.
