Abstract:
Because of commercial availability in urban areas the market share of wood briquettes is increasing steadily. In 2009 nearly 350.000 to of wood briquettes were sold on the German market [1]. In Austria the amount of sold briquettes increased by 34 % from 2012 to 2013 [2]. Briquettes are predominantly used in conventional log wood stoves. The consequences can be higher emissions and lower efficiency than possible with briquettes. The characteristics of briquettes (geometry, homogeneous fuel composition, etc.) are similar to wood pellets. They therefore offer (semi)automatic combustion which has a high potential to reduce negative influences on emissions and efficiency caused by user behavior or fuel quality. In the COMET-project FOWS II a small scale combustion system which is adapted for characteristics and combustion behavior of briquettes was developed. The innovative small scale combustion system allows the combustion of a vertical briquette which burns like a candle from top to bottom while permanently being hold at the same position in the combustion chamber by a mechanism.
