Description:
The report gives results of an evacuation of the field performance of woodburning and coalburning appliances in and around Crested Butte, CO. easurements included particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), and weekly average burn rates. Woodburning appliances included conventional airtight stoves, EPA-certified catalytic stoves, and EPA-certified noncatalytic stoves. ompared to the emissions measured from conventional stoves, the certified stoves reduced PM emission factors (grams/kilogram) by 53% and CO emission factors by 49%. oalburning appliances included a commercial scale boiler, a residential stoker, and a hand- fired coalstove. he coalburning appliances were compared to conventional woodstoves on a grams of pollutant per joule of heat output basis. he automatically stoked coal appliances reduced PM and CO emissions by roughly 84 and 85%, respectively. he hand-fired stove was cleaner than expected, reducing PM by 55% and CO by 27%.
