  2. Outdoor wood-fired boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outdoor_wood-fired_boiler

    The outdoor wood boiler is a variant on the indoor wood, oil or gas boiler. An outdoor wood boiler or outdoor wood stove is a unit about 4-6 feet wide and around 10 feet long. It is made up of four main parts- the firebox, which can be either round or square, the water jacket, the heat exchanger, and the weather proof housing.

  3. Clean-burning stove - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean-burning_stove

    A clean-burning stove is a stove with reduced toxic and polluting emissions. The term refers to solid-fuel stoves such as wood-burning stoves for either domestic heating, domestic cooking or both. In the context of a cooking stove, especially in lower-income countries, such a stove is distinct from a clean-burning-fuel stove, which typically ...

  4. Wood-burning stove - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood-burning_stove

    This is why among modern stoves, catalytic models tend to be much better at achieving low, even heat output, which is desirable in warmer weather. Modern non-catalytic wood stoves will also reburn the gasses from the firebox, but require a much higher temperature for the secondary combustion. No catalyst is required.

  5. Catalytic heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_heater

    Catalytic space heaters generate infrared heat to raise the temperature in a given area. [2] In addition to the larger catalytic heaters there are also small hand warmer or pocket heaters that use a catalyst combustion unit. Current units use a glass fiber substrate coated with platinum. Cheaper units may use other catalysts that do not work as ...

  6. Wood fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_fuel

    The use of wood as a fuel source for heating is much older than civilization and is assumed to have been used by Neanderthals. Today, burning of wood is the largest use of energy derived from a solid fuel biomass. Wood fuel can be used for cooking and heating, and occasionally for fueling steam engines and steam turbines that generate electricity.

  7. Pellet fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pellet_fuel

    A pellet stove insert is a stove that is inserted into an existing masonry or prefabricated wood fireplace, similar to a fireplace insert. Pellet boilers are standalone central heating and hot water systems designed to replace traditional fossil fuel systems in residential, commercial and institutional applications.

  8. NOx adsorber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOx_adsorber

    A NO x adsorber is designed to reduce oxides of nitrogen emitted in the exhaust gas of a lean burn internal combustion engine.Lean burn engines, particularly diesels, present a special challenge to emission control system designers because of the relatively high levels of O 2 (atmospheric oxygen) in the exhaust gas.

  9. Catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalysis

    An illustrative example is the effect of catalysts to speed the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen: . 2 H 2 O 2 → 2 H 2 O + O 2. This reaction proceeds because the reaction products are more stable than the starting compound, but this decomposition is so slow that hydrogen peroxide solutions are commercially available.
