Heat and power engineering, specifically being heating devices includes a pyrolysis boiler, in which, wood is subjected to high-temperature gasification and pyrolysis with subsequent burning off of pyrolysis gases. A stable and controllable gasification of wood with a natural high moisture content is achieved, and at the same time, a highly efficient transfer of combustion heat to a liquid heat-transfer agent is obtained. A gasification chamber is positioned between two compartments of a pyrolysis gas combustion chamber of the pyrolysis boiler, while the external wall of the combustion chamber is used as a heat-transfer surface, and at the same time, neither the fuel bunker nor the gasification chamber are in contact with water.
