Reducing Emissions from Current Clean-Burn Wood Stove Technology by Automating the Combustion Air Supply and Improving the End-User Interaction – Two Important Primary Measures

The current work concerns two of the most important primary measures to reduce emissions from small scale appliances for space heating; improvement and optimization of current technology and user behavior, where the latter is related to the effects of the ignition procedure, fuel quality and type, a...

description The current work concerns two of the most important primary measures to reduce emissions from small scale appliances for space heating; improvement and optimization of current technology and user behavior, where the latter is related to the effects of the ignition procedure, fuel quality and type, and amount of wood when loading and re-loading. Air-control both concerns user behavior and technology improvement. A recently developed in-house automatic air-control system was compared to manual operation. The ignition procedure is important and affects the quality of the combustion, not only for the ignition period itself but also for the subsequent burning periods. Two self-defined categories of primary measures were studied, primary measure A and B, as PMA (automated air flow) and PMB (manual operation varying the ignition procedure, wood specie, amount of fuel, log size and moisture content), respectively.
