Biomass Boiler P3L3U10,LO1.1,P4

What is biomass loosely defined as?

• Plant matter converted into fuel before combustion

• Animal matter used for energy production

• Minerals extracted from the earth

• Synthetic materials created in a lab

What are the two separate categories of biomass boiler?

• Batch fuelled and continuously fired

• Solar and wind energy

• Electric and gas-powered

• Coal and oil burning

What is the main difference between batch fuelled and continuously fired boilers?

• Environmental impact

• Size and output capacity

• Type of fuel used

• Method of regulating combustion

How is fuel fed to the boiler in a continuously fired system?

• Manually by the user

• Through a fuel store and worm screw feeding system

• Automatically by sensors

• By using a conveyor belt

What do modern heating controls coupled with biomass boilers allow for?

• Increased fuel consumption

• High degree of temperature adjustment

• Limited control over heat output

• Reduced efficiency

What is the primary advantage of using biomass boilers?

• They are cheaper than other boilers

• They use renewable energy sources

• They are easier to install

• They require less maintenance

What is the main component of the fuel used in biomass boilers?

• Coal

• Gas

• Plant or animal matter

• Oil

How does a batch fuelled boiler differ from a continuously fired boiler in terms of fuel supply?

• Batch fuelled boilers require manual fuel supply

• Continuously fired boilers require manual fuel supply

• Both require automatic fuel supply

• Neither require manual fuel supply
