Energy equivalent conversion various fuels

[DC]

Hello everyone,

My questions are all simple in appearance:

- How to calculate the energy equivalent of 1000 l of oil or a ton of pellets in Kw?

- From the estimate of the heating energy needs of the house, we apply a simple rule of three to evaluate the fuel consumption chosen?

- Where are the shortcuts naive in this hypothesis?

Thank you for your lighting.

Why go elsewhere what we have here?

Basically to answer your question DC: 1L of oil = 2 kg of pellets (of quality) since the PCi of the pellets oscillates between 4.5 and 5.2 kWh / kg ...

So if you consumed 2000L oil, you will need about 4 tons of pellets ...

Thank you, I'm going there!
