Abstract
In the course of our investigations, we burned high-quality logs as well as wood briquettes in a conventional, manually fed mixed-fired boiler, under different operating parameters. Based on the evaluation of the measurement results, there is a significant difference in terms of recoverable energy and carbon monoxide emissions for the two fuels burned in the same device at different air supply parameters. Studies have shown that a constantly changing position of the draft control door has an adverse effect on carbon monoxide emissions as well as the energy produced. In the case of a constant draft door setting, the preset values that can be considered ideal for energy yield and CO emissions were determined for the two fuel types. The obtained results were compared with the requirements according to the MSZ EN 303-5 standard.

Solid fuel boilers play a key role in pollution across Europe
Of of theoncombustion process in the firebox, on the emission of harmful harmful the course of our laboratory measurements, we examined the operating characteriscourse of our laboratory measurements, we examined the operating charactertics In of the a solid fuel boiler equipped with a temperature controller, as well as the operating istics of a solid fuel boiler equipped with a temperature controller, as well as the operating parameters occurring during the firing of different fuel charges at specific draft control parameters occurring during the firing of different fuel charges at specific draft control door opening angles
It can be observed that when burning with briquette fuel, the CO emissions can meet the maximum permissible average carbon monoxide emission limit value indicated by the dashed line at any preset value
Summary
Solid fuel boilers play a key role in pollution across Europe. Good quality wood burning can be considered as an environmentally conscious way of producing heat, appropriate emission indicators can only be obtained by using a combination of high-quality fuels burned in good quality boilers. As a result of the fragmentation of the economic and infrastructural development characteristics of each country, the use of modern combustion equipment characterizes heating production based on a large number of solid fuel boilers to a small extent. Outdoor air pollution causes about 400,000 premature deaths a year, as well as an even higher number of serious illnesses across Europe [1,2]. The most commonly used heating energy sources are gas burning, as well as wood burning.
