| Abstract |
Design and operation of residential wood combustion devices influence both performance and emissions. Important design considerations include mechanisms to increase thermal efficiency and improve combustion efficiency. Operator-controlled variables such as fuel, charging rate, and combustion air regulation greatly impact performance and emissions. An overview of general information on fireplaces and woodstove design and operation, based on a literature review, is provided in this report. Basic combustion principles, efficiencies and combustion variables are discussed. The influence of design configurations on combustion with the resultant formation of pollutants is investigated. Modification of the combustion system and the heat transfer mechanism by design or retrofit is explored. The impact of fuel species, fuel moisture content and operational variables are discussed. Techniques for proper stove selection, particularly sizing of the stove for needed heat output, are described. Design parameters and firing techniques recommended to operate a stove or fireplace with minimum emissions are discussed. A bibliography of relevant technical reports is provided. |
