Additional info
Researchers developed a novel spiral-shaped biomass heat exchanger that increases the heat-exchange surface area by approximately 50 % compared to standard biomass boilers. The spiral design results in a 5-20 % increase in energy efficiency compared to conventional biomass boilers by harnessing the latent heat of condensation of water vapour in the exhaust stream. This process also leads to reduction of particulate emissions at the exit. A nice side-effect of the spiral design is the simultaneous decrease in volume of the system.

Assessment
This section contains a brief assessment of the FEFTS described.
There are 3 basic categories: General, Environmental and Socioeconomic assessment.
The purpose of this assessment is to give a quick overview to the potential FEFTS user of its application benefits.
For each question, the Likert scale is used with the following possible answers:
Strongly disagree, Disagree, Neither agree nor disagree (Neutral)/non applicable, Agree, Strongly agree
General
This FEFTS contributes to improve the energy profiles of farming systems:Environmental
The application of this FEFTS directly reduces fossil energy use, in terms of:- Buildings heat use
Socioeconomic
The application of this FEFTS contributes to cost reductions of farming systems:Keep in mind that this assessment is subjective, based on publicly available information.
All registered users are asked to evaluate each FEFTS and when an adequate number of reviews is gathered the results depicted here are updated. Each review is screened in order to avoid malicious practices.
FEFTS providers who do not agree with the assessment results, can send their inquiry to info@agrofossilfree.eu and a direct action based on their petition will be taken.
