Particulate emission factors for small wood and coal stoves
Emission factors for particulate matter and carbon monoxide have been measured for wood, anthracite coal, and bituminous coal burned in residential heaters operated at less than 15 kW. In these studies the stove effluent is mixed with about four volumes of outside air and samples are collected about two minutes after mixing. The main purpose of using this sampling method is to simulate atmospheric conditions more closely. Particulate samples are collected on 20 x 25 cm filters after cylone preseparation of particles larger than 4 MUm. Carbon monoxide concentrations are measured with Draeger tubes. Particulate emission factors for wood ranged from 1.6 to 6.4 g/kg (fuel) and were found to depend on the fuel load and the firing rate, as indicated by earlier studies. These values are substantially less than the values obtained previously for stoves operated under similar conditions. The average particulate emission factors for bituminous and anthracite coal are 10.4 and 0.50 g/kg, respectively. Carbon monoxide emission factors for wood, bituminous, and anthracite coal are 100, 116, and 21 g/kg respectively.
