Wondering if anyone has tested to see what temp setting is best to use minimum amounts of wood for a boiler.
I have an EKO 40 boiler and have been running for 3 seasons with good results system does not have storage.
I know alot of the sytems do have storage and would be burning full out heating the storage water.
In my case does the system run and use the least wood at the top setting 81C or does the sytem use the least wood when the temp is lowered to the lowest setting where it can still handle the house load with out excessive running of the forced air furnace fan to keep up.
I have read where some suppliers have told people to run at a lower temp in the summer when heating only DHW and thought it would make sense that if the system can keep my house warm at a boiler temp of 77 or 78C during the winter I might use less wood.
I don't have much on my system as far as sensors or recording and am wondering if any of you that do have experimented with this setting ?
