Title: Combustion characteristics of hogged Douglas-fir bark in spreader stoker boilers

Book ·
OSTI ID:5779336

Initial results are summarized of studies of combustion characteristics of Douglas-fir bark (hogged fuel) as burned in a spreader stoker experimental test facility. Attempts were made to determine combustion characteristics for fuels burned in controlled conditions. Independent variables include wood size and MC, underfire/overfire air ratios, and fuel-to-air ratios. The work is presently under way at Oregon State University in a water wall spreader-stoker with a 10 ft/sup 2/ grate.
