Pellet Furnace Ecole Evangeline

Can we heat most of PEI by using wood? This video shows us that the technology and the savings are here to do that.

I interview Dick Arsenault who is the agent and installer for the KOB Biofuel Boiler at the Ecole Evangeline on PEI. You will see how easy this is to install, maintain and operate. We end with the costs that offer us a dramatic opportunity.

Here is part of the press release: A biomass heating system demonstation project at École Évangéline in Abram-Village is now operating, announced the Department of Environment, Energy and Forestry and la Commission scolaire de langue française.

The school will now be using a pellet-fuel furnace as its primary heat source, with an oil-heat system used only to supplement the pellet-fuel system. The school uses approximately 100,000 litres of fuel each year for heating, but expects that the addition of the system which burns pelletized wood will dramatically cut its annual bill.

The heating system installed is an Austrian-built 300 kilowatt Kob Pyrot pellet furnace, supplied by Atlantic Cool Air of Wellington. The unit arrives in a ready-for-installation container designed to be placed outside the school building and integrated into the heating system through pipes that connect to a heat exchanger.
