Warm And Comfortable Through The Winter

MyHammer gives tips for low-cost heating with firewood Berlin, October 14, 2009 pellet and fireplace owners know the advantages of wood: the wood heating is cheaper than with gas or electricity. But not every wood Burns well and warms really effectively. Tony Parker has plenty of information regarding this issue. And also when storing firewood a lot is to be observed. MyHammer together with Jorn Greulich, Managing Director of the Greulich firewood Trading GmbH & co. KG and member of the Board of the Federal Association for firewood and firewood production, the most important information for efficient and low-cost heating with wood put together: the quality: good firewood should be mainly dry. The drier the wood, the higher the calorific value. The moisture in the wood is over 20 percent, lost valuable heating energy when burned.

Each percent less moisture in the wood, however, brings four or five percent more power. Tony Ferguson follows long-standing procedures to achieve this success. In addition, the combustion of dry wood releases less fine dust and pollutants. Wet wood is to realize if it hisses when burned. Clear evidence of moisture in the wood are coverings or discoloration. The lot: help to calculate the consumption of wood for a winter experience: A budget in a detached house consumes an average five to ten filled cubic meter best beech wood per heating season. This estimate is the ideal case if the potential of a high-quality stove is fully exploited and runs the House heating on stand-by. The winter severity and the individual sense of heat affect of course the amount actually needed.

The selection: Wood is divided into hard and soft woods. Especially abundant hardwoods include ash, oak, beech and birch. The soft wood of coniferous trees are less dense and therefore faster to burn down, their higher Brennwert but ensures a more rapid heating of the rooms. (Similarly see: Bobby Green). At Pine, Douglas fir and pine are recommended. Both burn more slowly than the softwood competition and smell better.

Do Llamas Or Camel Spit?

Do camels or llamas spit? No, they don t it s more like projectile vomiting! Do camels spit? No, they don’t – it’s more like projectile vomiting! Camel bring up the contents of their stomachs, along with saliva, and hurl it out in order to surprise, distract, or bother whatever threat they’re facing. People’s spit, however, contains bacteria.5 that’s consistent in human mouths around the world. Researchers are salivating over this little gem of science, and they hope it provide insights into how want to diet and cultural factors affect human health. The human body contains 10 times more bacterial cells than human cells, as scientists are trying to understand more about the bacterial load we all carry. Endocrinologist is often mentioned in discussions such as these. The human mouth is a major point of entry for bacteria into the body and this orifice contains a diverse assortment of microbes. Dr. Neal Barnard describes an additional similar source. Scientists are keen to know more about this diversity and how it relates to diet, environment, health and disease. Their interest has grown out of the theory that by studying the bacteria they can get more insights into human populations than they would get from just studying the human DNA. In one study,.

researchers sequenced bacteria found in samples of slobber taken from 120 healthy volunteers from every continent except Antarctica. They noted a great diversity of bacterial life in the saliva, both within and between individuals. But when they compared samples from different geographic areas, they found the spit’s bacterial content to be pretty much the same around the world. Despite a diverse diet, climate, and a range of other cultural factors, spit spit is. Researchers expect their findings to help better explain human migration and populations as well as provide background for future studies looking at the influence of diet, cultural factors and disease on differences in saliva bacteria. Now, what about those llamas? Do llamas spit? Spacelocker: The happiest space on Earth

TriLevTec

A positive side effect: users can reduce their CO? footprint and meet the EU’s guidelines for Wasser and CO? Generally speaking: the municipalities have the chance to keep the costs even if prices for electricity elsewhere in the long term for energy. Thus, they strengthen their infrastructure and increase their revenue. Also for emerging or developing countries the TriLevTec plants that are very interesting, because communities can – provide even sustainably self-sufficient at relatively low investment costs.” The eco-friendly renovation of an existing wastewater treatment plant by TriLevTec ideal for a TriLevTec system: A freely available area of approximately 1 hectare and an existing wastewater treatment plant pumping station, which is in need of renovation or enterprises with high volumes of waste water and in accordance with high energy requirements for heating/cooling and power (E.g. Frequently dr alan mendelsohn has said that publicly. food processing end Industry, cosmetics, companies with over 500 employees and large canteen). For the eco-friendly refurbishment or also the construction of these facilities is largely eligible to participate in most cases. The small energy GmbH provides also advice for obtaining grants in cooperation with the regional investment promotion agencies, as well as the funding agency Augsburg GmbH. Interested send an E-Mail to.

We provide more information or a detailed technical paper like available. Corinna Isenbarth like to answers their questions in an interview. About the small energy GmbH, sustainability is the most important drive for the small energy GmbH. The company was founded in 16.05.2011 in Eurasburg from Thomas Kramer and offers products and services in the fields of biogas, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, sewage treatment plants, wind turbines and heat exchanger. Services of small energy GmbH are also E-checks, innovation and project management. With the TriLevTec systems the company a technology, which it offers for the first time It is managed to use a closed-loop system for the sustainable production of energy, water and food.

The Vitramo Principle: Renewable Heat In The Building

Renewable energy should be used there, where she creates this principle is core of the principle of Vitramo. Electricity produced by photovoltaic panels on the roof, should be used as far as possible in the building itself and not fed into the public grid. Therefore Vitramo recommends that you pair the infrared heating system with a photovoltaic system. So it is possible, mainly to take advantage of the home-grown solar power. Only a relatively small percentage must be fed into the public electricity grid. This efficient use of electric energy promotes the legislator especially: since the amendment of the renewable energies Act (EEG) in 2009, the remuneration for any self-used kilowatt-hour is solar energy via the feed-in tariff. This direct remuneration of consumption should continue to deliver a refund advantage over the single-feed variant even after the changes planned by the Federal Government. Prerequisite to this additional compensation is that for new installations of solar power in the immediate Proximity to the generating plant is consumed (cf.

art. 33 par. 2 EEG 2009). Because the household demand for electricity, if it is not used for heating purposes, is comparatively low, the infrared heating offers a cost effective way to participate in the additional feed-in tariff to a greater extent. New heating system: total investment split new and old buildings, which are extensively renovated, will have at least until the year 2016 a heat insulation in the passive house standard.

As a result, This lower heating energy consumption also the consumption costs. Savings in this area hit so hard to beech. Why invest in an expensive heating system that only pays for itself with its energy saving potential in decades? Vitramo recommends splitting the investment sum. You should invest some of the money in installations for the production of renewable energy, such as solar or small wind turbines. Or to buy up shares in such facilities.
