As an economical and environmentally friendly fuel option, the high energy density advantage of economical biomass burning pellets plays a critical role in improving fuel utilization efficiency.
First, high energy density means that economical biomass burning pellets contain more energy per unit volume or mass. Compared with some traditional biomass fuels, such as loose wood chips or straw, the volume of the burning pellets is greatly reduced after compression and other processes, and the energy is highly concentrated. During the combustion process, this allows the same mass of fuel to release more heat, thereby reducing the amount of fuel consumed to meet specific heat requirements. For example, in industrial boiler heating systems, the use of high-energy-density economical biomass burning pellets can heat water to the required temperature in a shorter time than using untreated biomass raw materials, significantly improving the thermal conversion efficiency of the boiler and reducing the frequent addition of fuel and the occupation of storage space.
Secondly, high energy density is conducive to the stability and controllability of the combustion process. Due to the concentrated release of energy, the combustion flame is more stable and the temperature distribution is more uniform. This enables the combustion equipment to operate under more ideal conditions, reducing heat loss and incomplete combustion caused by unstable combustion. In the field of thermal power generation, stable combustion is essential for the efficient operation of steam turbines. The high energy density characteristics of economical biomass burning pellets ensure that the fuel burns continuously and stably in the furnace, efficiently converts chemical energy into heat energy, and then into electrical energy, improving the energy utilization efficiency of the entire power generation system and reducing the cost of power generation.
Furthermore, the energy loss of high energy density economical biomass burning pellets during storage and transportation is relatively low. Its compact structure and stable properties make it less susceptible to moisture and deterioration during storage, and it can maintain a high energy content for a long time. During transportation, compared with low-density and loose biomass fuels, the transportation volume of burning pellets with the same energy output is smaller, the transportation cost is lower, and the energy loss during transportation is negligible. This means that the efficiency of the entire energy supply chain has been improved from the production source to the end-use end, further highlighting its comprehensive advantages in improving fuel utilization efficiency, and laying a solid foundation for the application of biomass energy in a wider range of fields.
