FLOWS II Project

The FLOWS II project dealt with research and

development of innovative technologies for

log wood combustion. Log wood stoves fasci-

nate people and therefore will always be in

use. Especially because of the regional availa-

bility of the fuel they will play an important

role in the future. Nevertheless they have to

meet certain challenges:

• Increasing efficiency for supporting the

2020 goals

• Minimum emissions for better air qual-

ity

• Broad applicability (heating and possi-

bly cooling, operation in low energy

houses)

The everlasting burning candle…

… to bring us light and heat. The candle burner is a combustion concept, which allows to

burn briquettes like a candle and to control combustion velocity. Low emissions and low

possible heat output are innovative properties for the use in low-energy houses.

The aim of the project FLOWS II was to start

the development of different products to meet

this challenges. The candle burner is a result of

this project in cooperation of Josef Lumper

and BIOENERGY2020+.

On an automatic up and down moving grate

the briquette is transported continuously into

the combustion chamber and burns like a

candle. The “briquette candle burner” benefits

from the low combustion velocity of briquettes

and the uniform combustion conditions of the

quasi-automatic concept. Minimum emissions

and maximum efficiency are the result of this

combustion principle for which a patent was

applied for.

The combustion of log wood suffers from

negative conditions at the beginning and end

of a burn-off. During the main combustion

phase optimum combustion conditions are

possible. In order to guarantee these optimum

conditions for long periods the grate of the

candle burner moves up. In order to reach low

a power output for nowadays heat demands

the briquettes are burnt vertically like a candle.

This concept allows almost constant combus-

tion conditions above the fuel in the combus-

tion chamber.

Marketability

The briquette candle burner is an absolute

novel product on the market. The concept

combines the advantages of a log wood stove

and a pellet stove. The flame looks like a log

wood flame, low power output like a pellet

stove is possible down to 2,5 kW by the mov-

ing grate. At the same time minimum emis-

sions and optimum comfort for the user is

reached. The prototype of the project already

keeps the emission limit values of pellet stoves

in Germany an Austria, the current most strin-

gent in Europe.

With the unique selling proposition of this

innovative combustion principle and the eco-

friendly properties a high market demand is

expected. The Austrian patent already is al-

ready granted, the European was applied for.

Impact and effects

The development of the candle burner will

directly affect the market for log wood stoves.

The candle burner will define a new state of

the art concerning emissions and low possible

heat output. A positive environmental impact

is expected by saving green house gas emis-

sions and fossil fuels whilst minimum emis-

sions contribute for improving air quality.
