Målsättning • Demonstrera CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) som praktiskt verktyg för förbränningsoptimering av småskalig pelletsteknik (brännare och kaminer) • Demonstrera generella konstruktionslösningar för småskalig pelletsteknik som möjliggör minimal skötsel (enkel askutmatning) och estetiskt tilltalande flamma som fortfarande ger låga emissioner

Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Ash Transport during Wood Pellets Combustion Stefan Westerlund (ETC) and Ida-Linn Näzelius (LTU) 5
Background • Furnaces does not have automatic ash removal • Leads to disposal issues • Is it possible to design the internal fluid flow for automatic ash removal? • CFD is a tool to investigate this. • Combined with experiments for validation 6

Simulation cases • Parametric study = 7 cases • In order to determine the controlling parameters for particle carryover • One-way coupled particles introduced at the grate 11
Simulation conditions • Simulations are performed with two different settings for the particle introduction: • Zero slip velocity; particles are given the initial velocity equal to the gaseous phase. • Fixed velocity particles are given higher initial velocity than the gaseous phase (5 m/s). 12

Conclusions The simulation with no secondary air shows that no particles are trapped in the ash tray. Increased oxygen content in the flue gas result in improved performance of trapping particles in the ash tray. Particles trapped in the ash tray increases with increased power output. Simulation and experiments generally show the right trends 26
