Moisture and Boiler Husk

You are asking about something you should already have data on, Mate.

Sure. The more moisture in the rice husks, the less efficiently they will burn, thus lowering boiler performance.

Sounds like an opportunity to build a large container with an agitator inside, and utilizing the waste heat from the boiler to dry the husks before feeding. If this is a common problem, you could probably sell the units and make some decent money.

THANKS TO ONE AND ALL FOR VALUABLE INPUTS

Higher moisture content= lower performance.

Pre-dry like kramarat said.

Here's a comparison for wood chips.

Calorific value is less in proportion to water content. Latent heat of vaporization is an extra loss.
