Small Scale Pilot Combustion Experiments with Wood Pellets – The Effect of Pellet Length
نویسندگان
چکیده
The primary objective of this study was to observe the effect of pellet length on utility and combustion temperature. Pellets with various lengths were combusted in a pellet stove. Pellet length was found to have a significant effect on the combustion temperature and stability. Increasing the length of pellets from 5.8mm to 13.1mm decreased the average burning temperature by 31% and flue gas temperature by 25%. The major determinants of combustion efficiency derived from pellet length were assessed.

Residential combustion has been identified as one of the main sources of particulate matter (PM); fine particles are important because of their adverse effects on human health and the environment. In this thesis, fine particle emissions originating from residential pellet combustion were characterized in different operational situations and using different raw materials as pellet fuel. Moreover...
