Influence of combustion process parameters on thermochemical conversion efficiency of chopped biofuel

Abstract

One of the best suitable fuel forms to manage the burning process in furnaces of different purpose using biomass fuel is biofuel crushed to dust. In such way timber waste, straw and energy grasses can be processed. Organic fuel in the form of dust has been used in large-scale energy production centres for several decades. Individual users of small-scale thermal power facilities used such fuel only in experimental specimens of equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate conditions for fuel particles to be incinerated in the furnace as fully as possible and to have as little as possible materials in combustion products, which are detrimental to health. The influence of certain parameters of combustion process on thermochemical conversion efficiency of chopped biofuel is analysed in this article.
