A Study of Air Pollutant Emission from Residential Heating Systems.

摘要

The report presents results of recent EPA research into the problem of air pollutant emissions from small-scale combustion systems. Major factors for controlling emission levels were found to be:excess air,residence time at high temperature,combustion air handling components of burners,and burner maintenance. Recommendations for minimizing emissions from new and existing equipment are given,based on the research results obtained. Data illustrating the effects of combustion parameter changes on emission levels are given both for experimental combustors and for residential heating equipment currently is use in the U.S. Future work,directed toward reduction of emissions,is also outlined.
