Using of local heat sources with warm-water heat exchanger for combustion of wood biomass in low temperature heating systems

摘要

Biomass as fuel is used for many years. At present it is important to effectively use energy sources because price of energy is more and more expensive. This is the main reason for building of modern low-energy houses. The projected thermal performance of these buildings rarely exceeds 4-6 kW. During most days of heating season these buildings need only 2-4 kW of heat but almost all produced heat sources have nominal thermal power higher than 10-15 kW. Because of this the thermal power of majority heat sources is oversized and using of them could be complicated. One of the solutions of this problem should be heat storage in accumulation vessels. The paper deals about using of local heat source with warm-water heat exchanger for combustion of wood biomass. There were tested thermal and emissions parameters of wood stoves. There was measured thermal power to air and to the accumulation vessels, production of carbon monoxide (CO), production of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and production of particulate matters (PM). The results shows that local heat sources with warm-water heat exchanger for combustion of wood biomass could be used for heating of new low-energy buildings.
