STUDY OF THE PHYSICAL AND ENERGY PROPERTIES OF FUEL GRANULES BASED ON A THERMOMODIFIED WOOD RAW MATERIAL

The authors present the results of experimental studies of the basic properties of fuel granules that have been produced from wood raw material treated in different temperature regimes. The authors have established the infl uence of the temperature of pretreatment of the raw material on the hygroscopicity, swelling, fl ame-maintenance effi ciency, and heat of combustion of fuel granules. A comparative analysis of the energy effi ciency of torrefacted pellets and regular fuel granules has been made.
