Evaluation of emissions from three residential coal-fired space heaters
For residential coal-fired space heaters it was found that in most cases there is no correlation between burn rate and particulate emissions. The exception being the batch feed stoves when burning bituminous coal where the emissions were found to be dependent upon the burn cycle and the stove design. The average particulate emission rate was found to be 1.3 g/kg for anthracite and 16.8 g/kg for bituminous. The overall emissions of CO were lower for bituminous coal then anthracite (196 g/kg vs. 111 g/kg). No correlation was found between burn rate and CO emissions. The emissions of SO/sub 2/ were found to be dependent upon the firebox temperature and the alkalinity of the coal. No correlation was found between SO/sub 2/ emissions and burn rate for anthracite coal, while a good correlation was found for Stoves A and C on bituminous coal. The sulfur emitted as SO/sub 2/ ranged from 30.8-92.3% of the total sulfur in the fuel. Table V has been included to show a comparison of particulate, SO/sub 2/ and CO emissions from coal-fired space heaters to other residential combustion sources.
