Description
Summary:Abstract In the climate of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), it is important to have efficient and reliable heat sources to survive. This is why efficient standalone heat generators are becoming ever more popular. As of lately, Yakutia’s residents tend to prefer detached housing with individual heating. However, practical experience has shown that neither domestically made nor imported heat generators are suitable for the Republic’s cold climate. This statement is reinforced by their poor heating performance that does not match the manufacturers’ claims. Such performance is mainly due to failing flue-gas stacks, a phenomenon associated with the air-fuel equivalence ratio.
