CORRELATION BETWEEN AIR FLOW RATE AND POLLUTANT CONCENTRATIONS DURING TWO-STAGE OAK LOG COMBUSTION IN A 25 KW RESIDENTIAL BOILER

摘要

It can be expected that there is a considerable correlation between combustion air flow rate and the concentrations of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide in the flue gas. The influence of temperature and oxygen concentration in the combustion zone on the concentrations of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide in the flue gas, for high and low combustion air flow, was analysed. Oxygen concentration for which the concentration of carbon monoxide is the lowest was determined, as well as the mutual relation between carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide concentration.
