Abstract
When producing wood chips using a drum chipper, several material, construction, and technological parameters that influence this process need to be observed and controlled. The correct choice of optimal parameters during the production of wood chips is reflected in the amount of used energy deposited within the wood mass. The results of monitoring the thermal characteristics of individually different kinds of wood chips show that biomass using rougher-structured wood fibers is more suitable for larger systems. Dust particles within the wood fractions are undesirable despite however welcome the consistent form and size structures of the wood chips are. Based on the results of computer simulations, real measurements, and testing during the production of wood chips, we found discrepancies between the predicted and actual characteristics of the desired outputted wood fuel. The reasons for the determined discrepancies are stated and commented on. 24 refs. (Received in April 2012, accepted in November 2012. This paper was with the authors 1 month for 2 revisions.)
