Abstract: Abstract: Because there exists much diversity in raw materials, biomass fuel pellet properties, and corresponding combustion equipment, research to develop the fuel adaptability of biomass burners is necessary. The research was accomplished on a self-build biomass combustion equipment-monitoring platform. The monitoring platform has multiple sensors to collect and process data of the burner's control parameters and combustion state parameters. Based on the platform, the author used a PB-20-type biomass pellet burner, which is designed by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Engineering. The author investigated five kinds of biomass pellets with ash values from 0 to 25 percent, And tested nine kinds of working conditions for each pellet with 3, 4, and 5 kg/h fuel feed rates and 2 600, 2 700, and 2 800 r/min fan speed. The thermal performance of the burner was tested according to the GB/T10180-2003 Thermal performance test code for industrial boilers and the GB13271-2001 Emission standard of air pollutants for coal-burning oil-burning gas-fired boilers. During each test, the water circulation amount, inlet and outlet temperature of water, cold air and exhaust gas temperature, slag temperature, O2\CO\NO\NO2 content in flue gas, and the slag ash content were processed. The excess air ratio, anti-balance efficiency, gas incomplete combustion heat loss, heat loss due to combustion in refuse, heat loss due to sensible heat in slag, soot emissions and blackness of each condition with the thermal performance data of the burnerwere then calculated. Combined with physical and chemical characteristics of the pellet fuels, the pellet fuel combustion efficiency change and its causes wereanalyzed, and fuel feed rate and the best match into the air flow of 15-25 kW biomass pellet fuel burner were obtained. The results showed that the pellets with ash content ≥20 percentwere not applicable to this type of biomass pellet burner; the recommended parameters for pellets with ash rate 12.40 percent were 4 kg/h (feed rate), 2 600-2 800 r/min (fan speed), 3 r/min, turn on 5 sec/turn off 35 sec (slag-off speed); for pellets with ash rate 7.21percent, the recommended parameters were 3-4 kg/h (feed rate), 2 600-2 800 r/min (fan speed), 3 r/min, turn on 5 sec/turn off 60-55 sec (slag-off speed); and for pellets withash rate ≤1.0 percent, the recommended parameters were 3-4 kg/h (feed rate), 2600-2800 r/min (fan speed), without slagging. This study summarizes the burner's control parameters for the biomass pellet fuel, and provides data support for the promotion and application of the pellet burner.
