Model of emissions production from wood combustion in the creation of thermal comfort in a heated building depending on the climatic conditions of Slovakia

Abstract

The model of the influence of the climatic conditions of Slovakia on the consumption of firewood and the production of emissions in creating thermal comfort in a heated building is presented in the paper. The temperature of atmospheric air in the range from -11 °C to -18 °C in winter and the number of days of the heating season in the range of 202 - 253 in.individual localities of Slovakia is reflected in the size of heat losses of the heated building, fuel consumption and emissions production. The presented model allows to quantify the emissions (particulate matter PM, carbon monoxide CO, nitrogen oxides NOx) for individual localities in Slovakia based on climatic conditions of the locality, the size of the heated object, the thermal efficiency of the boiler and the type of firewood.
