| Abstract: | Particulate size distributions were obtained in the effluent gases from three steam generating boilers of a power station employing mechanical, steam, and air systems for heavy fuel atomization. Samples were obtained with an eight-stage cascade impactor. The air atomized burner produced the lowest particulate loading, the greatest percentage of particulates by weight in the submicron range, and particulates with the lowest combustible content. |
