Aims

This course aims to give theoretical and

practical knowledge in combustion technology used

in energy production systems. The course also aims

to provide a basis for understanding how <

combustion technology equipment is controlled and

regulated. Economical considerations.

transfer. Emergence of (undesired) emissions and

suppression of emission. Influence of additives.

* Fuels: Gaseous, liquidous and solid

fuels. Fireplaces and burners. Combustion on fluid

beds. Furnaces.

* Fuels: Specification, content, characteristics

and handling. Control and regulation of
