OSTI ID:6388707
Air-tight, wood-burning stoves were operated in a manner consistent with typical residential heating requirements in order to determine particulate and carbon monoxide emissions and creosote build-up. Test data are presented as functions of burn-rates and stove efficiencies. The principal conclusions are that emissions from the stove used in this study are related to log-size and wood burn-rate and that CO and particulate emissions and creosote build-up increased with increasing efficiency of operation. Therefore, future environmental testing should be conducted at typical stove operating conditions, low burn-rates with large logs. In addition, heat-loss calculations show a trade-off between sensible heat loss and CO-fuel heat loss over the range of burn-rates studied. This indicates that, if further improvements in stove efficiencies are desired, improvements in stove combustion efficiency are needed. This also decreases stove emissions.
