  2. Grate heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grate_heater

    This tubular fireplace grate heater has a large surface area heat exchanger in a compact design, with a fan or blower (fans and blowers are not the same) to multiply the effect of natural convection. This is a very basic tubular blower that sits under a grate and heats the air being pumped through it from the heat of the coals.

  3. Coal pollution mitigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_pollution_mitigation

    Burning coal releases harmful substances that contribute to air pollution, acid rain, and greenhouse gas emissions. Mitigation includes precombustion approaches, such as cleaning coal, and post combustion approaches, include flue-gas desulfurization, selective catalytic reduction, electrostatic precipitators, and fly ash reduction. These ...

  4. Grate firing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grate_firing

    Grate firing is a type of industrial combustion system used for solid fuels. It now is used mainly for burning waste and biomass , but also for smaller coal furnaces. Capacities 0.3 to 175 MWth in industry and CHP

  5. Fluidized bed combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluidized_bed_combustion

    FBC smoke tube boiler. Fluidized bed combustion (FBC) is a combustion technology used to burn solid fuels.. In its most basic form, fuel particles are suspended in a hot, bubbling fluidity bed of ash and other particulate materials (sand, limestone etc.) through which jets of air are blown to provide the oxygen required for combustion or gasification.

  6. Pulverized coal-fired boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulverized_coal-fired_boiler

    The powdered coal from the pulverizer is directly blown to a burner in the boiler. The burner mixes the powdered coal in the air suspension with additional pre-heated combustion air and forces it out of a nozzle similar in action to fuel being atomized by a fuel injector in an internal combustion engine. Under operating conditions, there is ...

  7. Stove - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stove

    A coal stove can burn either wood or coal, but a wood stove might not burn coal unless a grate is supplied. The grate may be removable or an "extra". This is because coal stoves are fitted with a grate so allowing part of the combustion air to be admitted below the fire. The proportion of air admitted above/below the fire depends on the type of ...

  8. Chimney fire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimney_fire

    Regular chimney sweeping removes creosote and prevents fires in the chimney. Steps to prevent this buildup of deposits include only running appliances hot during the initial ignition phase regularly, only building short and hotter fires, regular cleaning of flues using a chimney sweep, and only using internal chimney structures where possible versus a chimney attached to an external wall.

  9. Coal burner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_burner

    The coal in the hopper is conveyed to the coal pulverizer by screw conveyor. The coal pulverizer will crush the coal into pulverized coal. In the coal burner, the pulverized coal mixes with air (high-speed air flow is generated by the draft fan on the coal burner), and is ignited by the oil burning igniter.
