Abstract
Previous studies have quantified the emissions of trace constituents from unvented gas and kerosene space heaters, including CO, NO, NO[sub 2], formaldehyde, and respirable particles. The emission rates of these vary with heater technology such as burner design and operating conditions. Recent advances in infrared radiant gas burner technology have led to the development of a radiant fiber-matrix gas burner that exhibits lower emissions of some of these constituents. The development of a suitable configuration may result in a heater which can be used in residential and commercial gas appliances where reduced CO and NO[sub 2] are desired. This report presents laboratory measurements of pollutant emission rates from a prototype radiant fiber-matrix gas burner under several different operating conditions. Emission rates were quantified for CO, NO, NO[sub 2] and oxides of nitrogen (NO[sub x] = NO + NO[sub 2]) reported as nitrogen [N(of NO[sub x])]. 7 refs., 1 fig., 2 tabs.
