DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6007026· OSTI ID:6007026
A prototype unvented gas space heater (UVGSH) using a radiant fiber-matrix burner was operated in a 27 m/sup 3/ (950 ft/sup 3/) environmental chamber under two firing rates and at two different excess-air settings. Pollutant emission rates for carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO/sub 2/) are reported. When compared to previously tested UVGSH's the radiant fiber-matrix burner was found to emit less CO and NO/sub 2/ per unit of fuel consumed. 5 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
