Experimental Results: f) Ignition time and flame behavior Oxidant at 1000 ºC and 5% oxygen concentration 5s 10s - ignition 100s 110s 125s - char Oxidant at 1000 ºC and 100% oxygen concentration 0s - ignition 2s 7s 70s 170s - char Wood pellets combustion with rich and diluted air in HTAC furnace
Conclusions: • Pellet mass reduction depends on oxidant temperature; • For lower oxidant temperature 800 ºC, the oxygen concentration has more influence over the mass loss than for the temperature of 1000 ºC; • The level of NOX is proportional with the oxygen concentration and oxidant temperature; • The levels of CO2 and CO are also dependent on oxygen concentration and temperature; • The ignition time is strongly influenced by the oxidant temperature and oxygen concentrations.
