The impact of the fuel feeding mode (continuous or periodic with various stand-by/operation time ratios) on carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NO, NO_x) concentration values in the flue gas was analyzed for coniferous wood pellet firing. Experiments were performed using a 20 kW water boiler equipped with an under-fed (retort) wood pellet furnace located in a full scale heat station simulating real-life conditions. Impact of oxygen concentration and temperature in the combustion chamber on the concentrations of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide have been examined. It was concluded that the commonly used periodic fuel supply does not necessarily cause an important increase of the concentrations of carbon monoxide compared to those in the continuous fuel feeding mode. Continuous fuel supply can even imply higher concentrations of carbon monoxide when fuel and air streams are not chosen properly.
