[QUOTE="warksfarmer, post: 3709756, member: 192"] We are getting on well with a 995 Linka, currently being fed with wheat straw. If you are going to basically run it 24/7 to get the 8000 hours then it will need serving 16 times a year as it should be every 500 hours to keep things running at max efficiently. You'll have to turn it off at least 24 hrs before the service so that it cools down allowing the guys to get into it to check the internals. Service will take half a day so allow for basically 3 days downtime per month at least. Continually fed wood chip should see you get about 80% efficiency. I've spoken to loads of users now and this seems to be the max any boiler will do unless you are going to continually draw the heat which you won't with a heating system because once it's up to temp it will stop drawing it. A grain drier will continually pull heat if its run 24/7 so you might get a bit more out of it. I'd say you'd be hard pressed to beat that because I can't think of anything that would make the biomass boiler run constantly which is where you get max efficiency. Lastly unless your fuel is of consistent moisture and size you will without doubt also get stops and blockages which always occur during the night so unless your going to man the thing 24/7 as well you need to knock that lost time off. Seriously when you've got bad fuel you will have to live with the boiler to keep it running. [/QUOTE]
