Influence of Input Material Kind on Thermic System Furnace Efficiency

Abstract:

This publication is focused on thermal balance of the experimental pyrolysis system furnace. Especially, a relationship between a kind of input material for thermal processing and pyrolysis furnace efficiency has been researched here. Mass intake of materials was 60 kg per an hour and the process temperature of 600 °C was set in the reactor. Presented findings relate to three kinds of materials that have been tested - brown coal, rubber and polyethylene. The main aim of this research is to answer the following question: "In which case does the furnace have the highest efficiency" Inter alia, the article contains a description of the individual input and output energy flows within the system that is thermal input in heating gas, profitably utilised heat, heat losses in waste burnt gases, heat losses by convection and radiation from the unit surface and coherent information. The best efficiency of the system is shown under thermic processing of the rubber.
