This work is dedicated to the determination of particle emission from a commercially available bottom feed 5 kW pellet stove. Two-stage dilution was applied provide operational stability and conditioning sample. The analysis performed by means Electrical Low Pressure Impactor with 14 stages, able separate particles 0.006 10 µm. Measurements were carried out for several runs nominal part load regimes respectively at 2.5 kW. study focusing on concentrations their number size distributions as these factors have an important impact atmospheric pollution human health. different combustion cycles in range 3.07×1014 2.4×41015 per kg (from 1.97×1013 1.57×1014 MJ). majority measured smaller than 1 distribution varied phases combustion. included burnout 2.53×1014 2.67×1015 1.62×1013 1.71×1014
