Field Research of Firing Stored Peat Critical Conditions

Abstract

Abstract. This paper presents field research: influence of different factors on peat massif firing with local outside heat source. Minimum temperatures of defined size heat source which fires the peat under the wide range of moisture value and heat-exchange conditions with terrestrial environment were found. Besides, peat massif moisture values whereby no firing is undergoing within the range of the researched temperatures of ignition source were defined.
