Calorific value, also known as heating value or energy value, is a measure of the amount of heat released by a fuel when it is burned. It is usually expressed in units of energy per unit of mass, such as joules per kilogram (J/kg) or kilocalories per kilogram (kcal/kg). For example, the calorific value of […]
Calorific value and kcal (or kilocalories) are related but different concepts. Calorific value is a measure of the amount of heat released by a fuel when it is burned and is typically expressed in units of energy per unit of mass, such as joules per kilogram (J/kg) or kilocalories per kilogram (kcal/kg). On the other […]
The sulfur (S) content, nitrogen (N) content, and silicon (Si) content of wood pellets can vary depending on the type of wood used and the production process. However, in general, wood pellets have very low levels of these elements. Sulfur content in wood pellets is typically less than 0.1%, and nitrogen content is typically less […]
The moisture content of wood pellets used for stoves should ideally be between 8% and 10%. Wood pellets with higher moisture content may not burn efficiently, leading to lower heat output, more ash production, and potentially higher emissions. On the other hand, wood pellets with very low moisture content can be brittle and may break […]
Albasia (Albizia falcataria) is a fast-growing tree species that belongs to the family Fabaceae. It is native to Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and the Philippines, and has been introduced to many other countries in the tropics, including Africa and South America. Albasia is widely cultivated for its timber, which is used for […]
Wood pellets can be used for grilling or smoking food, but buyers should ensure that the pellets are food grade and not treated with chemicals.
