Ashburn clinic wood boiler monitoring report
Research and reports
5 July 2011
Ashburn Clinic in Dunedin commissioned an ETA Hack 200 195kW woodchip boiler to replace an old LPG/coal boiler. Switching from gas to woodchip, with a secure wood fuel supply agreement, had a 1.6 year simple payback. EECA provided a $100,000 Wood Energy grant towards the project. A buffer tank was also installed to optimise boiler operation and the existing coal bunker was cost-effectively renovated into a wood fuel store.
