Have Dragon boilers passed the emissions test to burn straw rape and linseed? i'm looking at an ad in the farmers guardian

AFAIK there are a very few boilers that can burn linseed, not many can burn OSR. I don't think Dragon can burn either.

What size are you looking at installing?

They can burn anything .
Just depends if you want RHI ?

He asked about emisssions tests - why he want to know if they had or not if not chasing RHI!?

Most boilers can burn most things (the plumbers called mine a pikie recycling centre!) it just depends if you want the RHI and if so how risky you want to be about getting caught burning the wrong stuff.

I suspect the risks are low if you self supply but much higher if you buy all your fuel in. Don't be fooled into thinking the audit guys aren't clever - I think many of these consultants who have run out of work have now jumped to the dark side and get paid on commison...

Don't know if after RHI or not ?
Think dragon go some emmissions one through with different fans etc.
Most boilers won't burn everything ?

Dragon have RHI on logs I think but not sure what, if any, on straws.

most batch boilers will burn anything you put in them surely? I know mine can if I was that way inclined.

I would trust them more if they paid their debts to their suppliers rather than going bankrupt and phoenixing.

Be careful with any emission test results as quite often the moisture content tested is very dry to achieve the necessary RHI approval. If you use fuel with a higher moisture content then you invalidate the RHI.

On new or since these rules came in I guess .

Bit like VW you can fiddle the result to comply by using super dry fuel but then any fuel you use will also need to be super dry.

Dont bother with RHI, I didnt, the only question is does it burn, car tyres are good from a cold start.

Depends on your system and what you want from it.

There is free fuel about, in some cases you get paid to take it - if you can get paid to then burn it and charge for the heat then like one of my guys he gets paid x 3!!
