Hot air heater from 60 kW · PelleTech AERO

Fully automatic hot air for industrial premises, greenhouses and drying, fired with pellets or wood chips. The flue gases heat the air in a heat exchanger – the two never mix.

How AERO works

01Hot air

Warm inside.All winter long.

AERO heats the air and blows it out where the heat is needed – in the industrial building, the greenhouse or the dryer.

Output
60 kW–8 MW and above
Fuel
Pellets and wood chips
Operation
Fully automatic, from fuel store to ash
The air
Warm, free of flue gases

02Inside

From the flameto the steel tubes.

The fans blow the air around the heat exchanger tubes – the air and the flue gases never mix. The flue gas fan carries the flue gases to the chimney.

  1. 1Feed systemScrew and rotary valve, sealed against burn-back.
  2. 2GrateMoving stepped grate of cast iron, with seven levels. It is never still: the fuel dries, ignites and burns out on its way down the grate. Speed, feed and air are controlled according to the fuel's moisture content.
  3. 3FireboxBuilt for tough industrial environments. The cast iron above the grate radiates heat back, so that even wetter fuels dry and ignite.
  4. 4Heat exchangerThe flue gases heat the air through steel tubes. With optional automatic compressed-air cleaning, short blasts of compressed air keep the tubes clean – the boiler needs no manual cleaning.
  5. 5Ash screwsCarry the ash to the ash containers on wheels – or to a central system.
  6. 6Warm airCold air in, warm air out – directly into the building or through ducts.

03Industry and barns

Sits outside.Heats inside.

AERO can stand inside the building or outside it. The warm air is then ducted in – to industrial premises and barns. In barns, the bedding and the air stay drier.

Reference · PelleTech, South Africa

Four chicken houses

The units stand outdoors, are fired with wood chips and blow the warm air through pipes along the houses.

04Control and connectivity

From the unit to your phone.

The control system manages temperature, fuel feed and ignition. With the app or the web interface, you can monitor and control AERO remotely.

  1. 1Control systemTemperature, feed and ignition.
  2. 2Internet controlAll our boilers can be connected to the internet.
  3. 3The appOptional, for phone and internet connection. The values shown are examples.
  4. 4BiothermAlarms, remote monitoring and remote control.

Safety is built in. The rotary valve keeps the feed sealed against burn-back, sensors monitor pressure and temperature, and the temperature is limited to prevent overheating. Operation is monitored around the clock.

  3. 3Electrical cabinetControls and power, wired and labelled
  4. 4Ash containersEasy to reach and empty

Biotherm builds heating plants from 200 kW to 2 MW – on-site installation is carried out by Biotherm or local contractors.

06Versions

Two series,six models.

From 60 to 500 kW. Larger plants, up to 8 MW and above, are custom-engineered.
