Distinctive features of burning of a solid biofuel in a cyclone-bed furnace

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

A study has been made of the distinctive features of burning of a solid biofuel (wood, peat) in a cyclone-bed furnace. The limiting values of the moisture of wood chips as received and of the mass content of milled peat in the chip–milled peat mixture, at which the regime of its combustion is unstable, have been found. The temperature, velocity, and pressure distribution in the indicated furnace have been established. The dependences of the concentration of carbon and nitrogen monoxides on the excess air in exhaust gases in burning lump wood and crushed peat briquettes have been established.
