Ignition Temperature of Dust Layer and Dust Clouds of Wood Pellets

In the production, transport, storage and use of wood pellets forming a flammable and explosive dust. To assess the fire risk of wood pellets was determined ignition temperature of dust layers and dust clouds. We used two commercially produced pellets from wood waste and wood and studied the dependence of ignition temperature on the thickness of dust layer and also observed the ignition temperature dependence of dust clouds from the weight and pressure of air in combustion chamber.
