Biomass Furnace PAES 242-243:2010 Flashcards
organic materials used as renewable source of energy like wood chips, corncobs and rice
hulls, etc.
biomass
enclosed structure for intense heating by fire using any biomass like woodchips, corncobs and
rice hulls as fuel
biomass furnace
fire resistant surface located at the heating chamber of the biomass furnace
hearth
materials to be processed (i.e. dried, burned, melted, etc.) using biomass furnace
workload
framework of metal bars or fire bricks used to hold biomass fuel in furnace for more efficient
combustion
grate
Flue gas and other products of combustion goes into the dryer.
Direct-fired biomass furnace
Biomass fuels are fed on the combustion chamber in cyclonic manner using a blower. The
biomass fuels in this type of furnace are burned while in suspension.
Cyclonic
Biomass furnace with combustion chamber that have stair-liked arrangement of grate
Step-grate
Biomass furnace that uses gravitational force on feeding the biomass fuel.
Gravity
This type of biomass furnace shall use a heat exchanger to prevent flue gas and other
products of combustion to go with the drying air.
Indirect-fired biomass furnace
Uses ambient air to be heated inside or outside the heat exchanger and be used as drying air.
Dry type biomass furnace
Uses hot fluid as medium of heat transfer
Wet type biomass furnace
Heat resisting lining of the furnace using layer/s of fire bricks
Brick lining
Heat resisting lining of the furnace using ceramic materials
Ceramic fiber lining
Heat resisting lining of the furnace using aggregates and bonding agent(s)
Monolithic lining
Consist of course and fine grains with suitable bonding cement. These are poured in place
using molds or pouring forms after mixing with water.
Castable refractory
Kind of castable refractory mortar with a consistency that makes it easy to trowel into place.
These are very useful for patching and for shaping complex surfaces.
Trowelable refractory
Contain a binder material, and are tempered with water so that they have suitable plasticity
for pounding or ramming into place.
Plastic refractory
Similar to that of plastic refractory but stiffer.
Ramming refractory
