An added benefit of pulse combustion is its contribution to environment protection. The rapid combustion, vhich allows extremely short times for the formation of nitrogen oxides, and lower peak temperatures as compared to continuous combustion, result in very low NOx emissions from the pulse combustors (Fig. 2.3). This is especially advantageous when drying foods and biomaterials, provided that the pulse combustor is not fed with sulfur-containing fuels such as propane or natural gas (Kudra, 1998 Kudra, 1999).
