Investigation of combustion characteristics of Douglas fir hogged fuel

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6595039
The initial results are presented of studies of the combustion characteristics of Douglas Fir bark (hogged fuel) as burned in a spreader-stoker experimental test facility. The project was funded by ERDA and attempts to determine combustion characteristics for fuels burned in controlled conditions. Independent variables include wood size, wood moisture content, 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 10 ft/sup 2/ of grate area.
