| Abstract |
The report gives results of a study of the potential of catalytic combustion for pollution-free domestic heating applications. Nine of the 14 commercially available catalytic heaters tested operated on propane; the other five, on lead-free gasoline. Substrate thickness, catalyst type and concentration, and fuel rate were examined. Hydrocarbon emissions could not be reduced to levels now possible with conventional domestic heating units; however, NOx emissions were very low from nearly all heaters. In the controlled testing, substrate thickness and catalyst treatment had little effect on HC emissions. Some units produced very high levels of CO which the performance of other units and controlled testing showed to be preventable. Because of the high HC emissions, more research is necessary before catalytic heating can be considered a viable domestic heating alternative. (Modified author abstract) |
