Pressurized OWBs

[rissacher]

I'm looking for a pressurized Outdoor Wood Boiler. Yes, I know that you can use a common non-pressurized OWB with a pressurized household heating loop, but I have other reasons for needing a pressurized boiler.

The only one I've found is made by Royal American: (broken link removed)

Can anyone reccomend competitors?

thanks

Aqua Therm make pressurized boilers. I had one for 13 years until I thought I needed a gassifier, so far bad move. Aquatherm is a good solid unit.

Don't know of another competitor, but I've got a dairy farmer that has a royal, and burns about 50 to 70 cord a year. He seems to like it. He's heating his house, indoor pool, radiant heat in the pool room, 35x45 garage and the dhw for the farm. Go figure...no creosote problem. Had it about 4 yrs

I have been looking at all the options both inside boilers and outside. Today I looked at central boiler. They make one but its 220000 BTU. Too big for what I need ,and the price 11k.

I have an Aqua Therm Eco One and is is pressurized. About 20 psi.

Royall (which I think is a different company than American Royal, but I believe there is some connection, as the designs look the same) makes a pressurized OWB, I believe. They're in Elroy, Wisconsin. I had one of their indoor units (bought used at 30 years old and used for two seasons) and they're built like tanks.

50 to 70 cord a year?!?!?!? When does he have time to milk???

WOW, that's a lot of wood...
