OSTI ID:5777721
This paper discusses data and preliminary findings from the first year of a 2-year detailed evaluation of woodstove performance characteristics under field conditions during tests on 32 volunteer houses in New York State and Vermont. Woodstoves were monitored for particulate emissions, wood-fuel use, and creosote accumulation in the chimney. Comparisons were made between stove technologies represented in the study houses: catalytic, high-efficiency noncatalytic, and conventional stoves. Add-on/retrofit catalytic devices added to conventional stoves were also evaluated. Field results showed that catalytic stoves achieved emission reductions of about 25%, compared to conventional stoves. Prior laboratory tests on the same catalytic stove models indicated reductions of 5 to 10 times were possible. High-efficiency noncatalytic technology, based on very limited data, showed the lowest average emission rates. Add-on/retrofit devices showed no emission reduction.
