Wood Waste System Sizing Calculator
Customers often ask which Ranheat system is likely to suit the amount of wood waste they produce each week. This tool gives a practical first-pass recommendation using weekly fuel availability and our commercial sizing assumptions. Final system selection still depends on heat use, fuel consistency, site layout, and future expansion plans.

System Selection Guidance
Product Families
- WA Range: Compact warm air systems. Suitable for direct space heating applications.
- MSU Range: Hot water / LTHW biomass boiler systems. Suitable for district heating, process heat, and indirect applications.
- M Range: Large industrial systems. For high-throughput commercial and industrial waste heat recovery.
Final Selection Factors
- Heat use: warm air vs. hot water vs. process recovery determines which family is appropriate.
- Fuel consistency: Ensure fuel supply matches system input specifications (moisture, size, contamination).
- Site layout: Space for fuel storage, ash removal, and system placement.
- Future expansion: Plan for growth in waste volume or heat demand.
- Collection schedule: Regular, predictable fuel supply is essential for system reliability.
