Popis:	This paper reports the development effort of using coconut shell-based fuel slurries in an oil-fired foundry furnace. Solid fuel fines were dispersed in a liquid medium and the resultant fuel slurry was burnt like a liquid fuel. Light disel oil, furnace oil and water served as the liquid media. The solid fuels burnt were pulverized coal and pulverized coconut shell. The solid fuel was directly mixed with the liquid medium and was burnt in an oil-fired foundry furnace. No chemicals were used for the stabilization of slurries. Pulverized coal was found to settle down and was often blocking the fuel atomizer. But no such problems were encountered when pulverized coconut shell - light diesel oil and pulverized coconut shell-water slurries were burnt. Among the various slurries burnt, the pulverized coconut shell-water slurry was found to be the most appropriate slurry to be used in the oil-fired foundry furnace without any modifications to the existing furnace hardware. Preliminary results are presented.
