; ;
Recent technological developments offer the prospect that coal/liquid mixtures or dry ultrafine coal can be utilized in residential space heating applications. The current program has as its objective the development and performance verification of one or more coal slurry, ultrafine coal dust, or dual-fueled prototype combustors suitable for integration into a residential space heater. This program is organized into two phases: Phase 1, Combustor Definition, was to develop and evaluate several combustors; and Phase 2, Prototype Verification, was to utilize the results from the first phase to develop and test one or more combustors in the context of a prototype residential space heater system. This report documents the development efforts of Phase 1 and Phase 2. Successful development of the coal-fired combustor would promote coal as the fuel of choice and gain a potential market share in the residential space heating application. 11 refs., 75 figs., 10 tabs.
