Detailed numerical and experimental analysis of commonly used measures for achieving near complete combustion in the residential combustion appliances

The paper presents results of analysing the most commonly used measures for improving combustion of wood and agro pellets in domestic combustion appliances. This includes numerical and experimental analysis of the combustion chamber partial insulation and inclusion of combustion intensifier in the conventional combustion system on the obtained combustion efficiency and reduction of pollutant emission. The results show that significant reductions in unburned pollutant emissions can be obtained by both measures, while the improvements in combustion efficiency and particulate matter emissions only with the inclusion of combustion intensifier.
