Abstract:
Because domestic heating appliances have the advantage to reduce emissions of greenhouse gas, their use is increasing and largely recommended by European governments. Some recent studies revealed that they are source of near a hundred of other chemical compounds. One of the most important challenges today is to optimize combustion processes in order to reduce gaseous pollutants and particles in the fumes. In this study, two optimized combustion chambers are presented and tested. The first one is the ILOT stove, commercialized by D2I/INVICTA, which is working on the principle of reverse combustion. The second one is the XP68 insert, commercialized by LORFLAM, in which flow rate of hot air is directly controlled and injected in the flame. Tested at normal heat output, these fireplaces present concentrations of CO and TSP far below the limits defined by the French quality mark 'Flamme Verte'. Mean concentrations of CO in the exhaust are 0.08 % and 0.17 % for ILOT and XP68, respectively, ¬3 ¬3 while mean amounts of TSP are respectively 13 mg.Nm and 24 mg.Nm. PM0.1 fraction constitutes 85 % of the total number of particles for XP68 inset, while a partition 50/50 is observed for PM0.1¬1 and PM0.1 fractions for ILOT stove.
