A technoeconomic assessment of the feasibility of utilizing coal slurry fired small scale fluidized bed furnaces for space and domestic hot water heating in single and multi family dwellings in Nova Scotia...: NH17-246/1991E-PDF
"In this work, the technical and economic feasibility of using coal-water slurry (CWS) fired Small Scale Fluidized Bed Furnaces (SSFBF) for residential space and domestic hot water heating in Nova Scotia was evaluated. The following issues were addressed: a. Capital and long term operating costs associated with using the SSFBF in new and existing residences were calculated, b. Economic benefits to home and rental building owners of choosing the SSFBF were identified, c. A procedure for the design of SSFBFs from 15 to 250 kW capacity was developed, d. The potential market for SSFBF in Nova Scotia was estimated, e. The impact on the provincial economy of using SSFBF was estimated considering: i) the number of jobs created by manufacture of the SSFBF and CWS fuel, and ii) the reduction in money leaving Nova Scotia for the purchase of crude oil for the production of furnace oil."--Executive summary, page iii.
