Wood Pellet API
Wood-pellet heating maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the consumption, heat-output and storage numbers a homeowner, installer or heating planner sizes a pellet system by. The consumption endpoint gives the pellets to meet a heat demand = the demand ÷ the usable heat per kilo, where usable = the calorific value × the boiler efficiency: ENplus wood pellets hold about 4.8 kWh/kg and a modern pellet boiler runs ~90 %, so each kilo delivers roughly 4.3 kWh — a 10,000 kWh annual demand then needs about 2.3 tonnes of pellets, around 154 fifteen-kilo bags or a bulk delivery. The heat-output endpoint inverts it: the usable heat from a mass = mass × calorific value × efficiency, so a tonne of ENplus pellets is about 4,800 kWh gross of which a 90 % boiler delivers ~4,320 kWh — the equivalent of roughly 480 litres of heating oil or 432 m³ of natural gas. The storage-volume endpoint sizes the hopper or silo: storage = the pellet mass ÷ the bulk (poured) density, about 650 kg/m³ for ENplus, so 2.3 tonnes fill roughly 3.6 m³ — size the store for the full delivery plus headroom for the fill pipe. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for pellet-heating and installer tools, home-energy and quoting apps, and renewable-heat calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Uses standard ENplus figures — set your own for a specific pellet grade. 3 compute endpoints. For cordwood use a firewood API; for propane/LPG a propane API.
