The combustion of briquettes made from organic and industrial residues in small boilers requires researchers to consider the characteristics of this type of fuel and methods of its combustion. For the efficient combustion of fuel briquettes, a layered combustion method with the ability to regulate the supply of combustion air is better suited. The purpose of this research is to study the thermal technical conditions of briquetted fuel combustion. In order to carry this out, a stand was created, which made it possible to determine the combustion efficiency of this type of fuel. Two types of briquettes were studied: one with 30% sunflower husks and 70% leaves, and one with and 70% sunflower husks and 30% coke breeze. The combustion results of the briquettes show that heat loss from chemical under-burning was no more than 6.25%. To determine the temperature distribution in the fuel layer, a model of unsteady heat transfer in a fixed layer was used. A calculation of the temperature fields in the layer of burned fuel briquettes was carried out, which showed that the most favorable conditions for burning briquettes were created with a layer about 15–20 cm thick for both burned briquette options. The temperature was in the range of 450–750 °C, which on the one hand corresponds to experimental data and on the other hand provides a combustion regime that occurs with a relatively low loss to the environment. This installation and mathematical model will help future studies based on the processes of other types of organic waste combustion with a grate system.
