Furnace high efficiency wood

The appropriate technology for space heating was found to be the direct use of wood in high efficiency wood furnaces and for electricity production it was concluded that wood gasification followed by combustion of this gas in an internal combustion engine was the practical alternative. 

An additional attempt for a further improvement of the emission behaviour is a detailed analysis of the combustion process by in-furnace measurements which is also carried out by [6]. In order to get experimental data of gas concentrations, temperatures and velocity fields within the reaction zones of different types of heating appliances the project Development of Newly Designed Wood Burning Systems with Low Emissions and High Efficiency f7I was carried out under the JOULE III program of the European Commission.
