STUDY OF THE EFFICIENCY OF SOLID FUEL BOILERS OF DIFFERENT CONFIGURATION

Abstract

This paper discusses experimental studies of the operational efficiency of five boiler configurations: a direct combustion boiler with natural and mechanical draft, a long-burning boiler with natural and mechanical draft, and a pyrolysis boiler. It was found that only pyrolysis boilers can provide a relatively high efficiency. The efficiency of using direct combustion and long-burning boilers is low.
