Annotation

The main question that a person asks himself when he needs to provide heat to his home. In the current, military time in Ukraine: how to do it more profitably, with the current level of comfort? Everyone chooses for himself, manufacturers of energy production equipment (gas, liquid or solid fuel boilers, electric heating devices, solar installations, heat pumps) conduct an active advertising campaign, trying to prove that their equipment is the most profitable and the best. The average consumer, not having relevant experience, usually makes a spontaneous decision, basing his choice on advertising or the seller's beliefs. For the use of alternative fuel resources, namely wood, we offer to consider the development of a hydraulic wood chipper, which makes human labor much easier.
The cheapest way to heat a country house is a boiler running on solid fuel (firewood, anthracite). But it should be understood that together with the relative cheapness of heat with this heating method, a number of problems arise related to fuel storage and the need for constant maintenance of the boiler: its loading, ignition and cleaning. Should you save money and equip your house with a solid fuel boiler, or should you choose a gas boiler (or a liquid fuel one that runs on fuel oil), during which the entire production process is fully automatic? The choice is yours. But in any case, as you can see, stopping your choice on electric heating, solar equipment or a heat pump for no particular reason is probably not worth it yet: these technologies are still too expensive for widespread use today.
At present, firewood was and is the most ecological and economical type of fuel. Therefore, the owners wonder how to make it easier to collect firewood in order to preserve their health.
A log shredder with a hydraulic system is the best assistant for the owner to prepare an alternative source of energy for the heating season. It is easy to operate - you only need to install a deck, press a button or a lever. The log is divided smoothly and without contact with the person, which is over security. The force of the hydraulic system is enormous, reaching 4-6 tons, the shredder can work with different types of wood and at high speed.

Keywords: log, hydraulic chipper, wood chipper, solid fuel boiler, alternative fuel.

History of journal:

Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC is a scholarly professional journal with a long-standing history and stable academic tradition, reflecting the evolution of engineering and technical sciences within the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine.

The journal was founded in 1997 under the title Bulletin of Vinnytsia State Agricultural Institute. According to the Resolution of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine dated September 11, 1997, the publication obtained the status of a professional scientific journal, which enabled the publication of the main results of doctoral and candidate dissertations in technical sciences. From its inception, the journal positioned itself as an academic platform for addressing current issues of mechanization, electrification, and technical support of agricultural production.

During 2001–2014, the journal was published under the title Proceedings of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University. Series: Technical Sciences (State Registration Certificate of Print Media KV No. 16644-5116 PR dated April 30, 2010). Throughout this period, a systematic approach to the selection and peer review of scientific manuscripts was established, the thematic scope of publications was expanded, and continuity of scientific directions as well as the development of sectoral engineering schools was ensured.

Since 2015, the journal has been published under its current title, Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC (State Registration Certificate No. 21906-11806 R dated March 12, 2016). The change of title reflected the expansion of the journal’s thematic coverage and its orientation toward interdisciplinary research in mechanical engineering, energy systems, electrical engineering, transport technologies, automation, and digital solutions for the agro-industrial complex.

The journal consistently adheres to the principles of open science. All published materials are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0), ensuring open access to research results provided proper attribution to the authors and the original publication is maintained.

At present, Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC is an authoritative professional scientific journal (Category B), providing a platform for the publication of fundamental and applied research results, promoting the integration of education, science, and industry, and contributing to the advancement of engineering and technological support of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine.
