Operation of Military Field Heating Equipment Using Solid Fuels.

摘要

In view of the present energy crisis and its impact on the use of liquid fuel, this project was undertaken to survey the present military heating equipment to determine their capabilities for burning solid fuels. This report describes standard military equipment and components for heating in field operations with solid fuel. Included in the report is a discussion of the handling and burning characteristics of solid fuels. The report concludes with twenty-two recommendations that should be considered. The increasing demand of liquid fuel needed for military combat equipment plus the uncertain supply of liquid fuel could result in a drastic reduction in the amount of liquid fuel available for field heating.
