Abstract:
This research focuses on emissions behavior of two different stove models that differ for the burner pot (retort) geometry. In particular, primary air inlets shape and position: stove A has a burner pot with primary air coming from holes in the bottom, while stove B has a burner pot with primary air coming from slits on the lower part of sidewalls. Experimental results show very different concentrations of CO and PM emissions between the two stoves: stove A releases much larger amount of emissions than stove B. CO emissions are minimized in a specific interval of O2 that depends on the burner pot used, while PM emissions show two different trends: in stove A, PM tends to decrease as O2 content increases; in stove B, PM has a minimum of emissions in a specific interval of O2.
