Abstract
The quality of wood combustion processes can be effectively improved by achieving the automated control of the combustion air feed. For this purpose, continuous flue gas analysis using in situ sensors is essential. Besides the successfully introduced monitoring of the combustion temperature and the residual oxygen concentration, in this study, in addition, a planar gas sensor is suggested that utilizes the thermoelectric principle to measure the exothermic heat generated by the oxidation of unburnt reducing exhaust gas components such as carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (CxHy). The robust design made of high-temperature stable materials is tailored to the needs of flue gas analysis and offers numerous optimization options. Sensor signals are compared to flue gas analysis data from FTIR measurements during wood log batch firing. In general, impressive correlations between both data were found. Discrepancies occur during the cold start combustion phase. They can be attributed to changes in the ambient conditions around the sensor housing.
