Residential wood combustion is, besides particulate emissions, also linked to emissions of organic compounds, comprising various toxic substances such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Although, literature data has shown that highest occur during maloperations caused by the user itself, most studies focus on lab-testing not reflecting situation in field. This study evaluates real-life Austria, investigating total suspended particles (TSP) and particle-bound four manually operated...
In Europe, the official-type test method (oTT) according to standard European Norm (EN) 13240 evaluates emissions and thermal efficiency of firewood roomheaters only under optimal conditions, that is, heated up at nominal load. this study a novel method, called “beReal”, is presented which was developed reflect real-life operation within testing procedure. The beReal concept consists heating cycle with eight consecutive batches covers all typical phases operation. A specific procedure based...
This study analyses the emission factors of two firewood room heaters under testing conditions which emulate real life operation.A 6.5 kW stove with low heat storage capacity and high leakage rate (stove A) is compared an 8 air-tight B).Thermal efficiency, carbon monoxide (CO) organic gaseous compound (OGC) emissions, as well thermal losses (THL) during cool down phase were investigated in a series laboratory tests.Furthermore, influence closing air supply dampers at end heating cycle was...
Emissions from wood-burning stoves contribute to local air pollution. However, it is difficult determine the real emissions such stoves, especially due unknown user behaviour, which can have a large impact on emissions. In this study, low-cost emission reduction measure "user training" was evaluated its potential firewood stoves. Two sets of tests were carried out. First, field measurement campaign conducted in Styria (Austria) with four wood where gaseous and particulate measured before...
Biomass combustion is a major contributor to ambient air pollution.Thus, knowing the real-life emissions of biomass heating systems crucial.Within project Clean Air by field measurement campaign was conducted.15 appliances were tested in households at end user according their usual operation.Emission factors for gaseous and particulate emissions, as well genotoxic carcinogenic substance benzo(a)pyrene, evaluated compared current proposed European Austrian emission used inventories.Moreover,...
