CWS-Fired Residential Warm-Air Heating System. Quarterly report, November 1, 1987--January 31, 1988
Objective of the Coal/Water Slurry (CWS) Fired Warm-Air Heating System program is the development of a reliable, efficient, compact and safe CWS-burning residential furnace. This report summarizes results of the fourth quarter of the first phase of the program effort carried out by Tecogen Inc. During the first phase ,Tecogen is developing several key components of the furnace, which may be grouped into: components directly related to combustion processes; a heat exchanger that transfers sensible heat from the flue gases to a circulating water loop, and a gas cleanup system. During the fourth quarter, work continued on, Testing and Development of Initial Prototype Components. It was found that the entire furnace system, including the combustor, peristaltic pump, Y-jet atomizer, and heat exchanger performed reliably. The combustor, which is best denoted as an Inertial Reactor with Internal Separation (IRIS) because it uses radial forces to detain particles, achieved a carbon conversion efficiency of over 96%.
