The Direct Effect Combustion of Biomass in Burner System by Compressed Air from the Centrifugal Blower

Abstract

This research aims to investigating the temperature for combustion from biomass in a burner system, with on the principle of compressed air into the system from the centrifugal blower to the flame of thermal performance. The results showed sample three types were tested: sawdust pellets, charcoal flakes and corn cobs. It was found that the combustion flame of sawdust to temperature was 910 ° C, and feed rate of 300 g/hr. The charcoal flakes measured 855 °C and 651 °C, at flame temperature respectively and both samples used feed rate of 500 g/hr. The result of this study sawdust has the highest temperature for combustion, and feed rate is less than the two types of biomass to 40 % by volume. The furnace is suitable for using for applying in drying systems, or heat generator system.
