Abstract: Emissions and efficiency of three different wood pellet boiler technologies in real life conditions were compared at two different operational loads. The test consortium comprised of one 15, 20 and 32kW boilers equipped with bottom feed burner, one 30kW boiler equipped with top feed burner and one 35kW boiler equipped with horizontal feed burner. The measurements comprised of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NOx), dust and combustion efficiency. All boilers were fuelled with DINplus certified wood pellets.
