"Altiro gets around this problem by adding a little natural gas to ignite the iron powder when the boiler first starts up."
You will also need a very specialized furnace, and supplies of CH4.
- Tade0 3y agoI suppose it's not more complicated than an LPG system in a car, which fires up on gasoline and switches to gas only after warm-up. My Uber today was a Corolla hybrid and at one point I heard the telltale clunk of the LPG system engaging. Apparently you can have that on a hybrid as well.
