Members * industrial organizations, research insti tutes and universities - are situated w orld -w ide in fifteen countries. The Research Station is equipped w ith semi-indus trial scale experimental furnaces and a wide va riety of instrumentation for the measurement of input and o u tp u t conditions. Over the years, in strumentation has been developed for the expiora tion of combustion phenomena - aerodynamics, chemistry and heat transfer - as they occur w ith in the flame. Early w ork was devoted to the improved u n d e ' standing of heavy fuel oil com bustion pam cu a* v in relation to flame radiation characteristics an.;ion w ith low excess air. Later the facilities were expanded to ir ciude the possibility of gas and pulverized coaj flame studies. Over the years, in fo rm a tio n has beer concerning the influence of aerodyna mics upon flame fo rm , heat transfer d is irib u t o r combustion efficiency and p o llu ta n t emissions Much of this work was supported by the European Community .
