1.5 ecom-EN3, Option heated probe for soot measurement

 

 

Heated probe for soot measurement

 

 
 
 

 

In order to perform a measurement of the soot content in the flue gas from oil firing systems, 
a filter paper is introduced into the exhaust path of the probe where the soot deposits during 
the measurement.

 

 

On the basis of the deposited amount of soot on the filter paper (blackening), it is possible to 
compare optically with a scale, which is the soot number. This makes it possible to evaluate 
the amount of soot in the flue gas.

 

 

The  filter  paper  is  heated  in  the  probe  to  prevent  the  flue  gas  from  cooling  too  much.  This 
cooling of the flue gas would lead to condensation of water vapour from the flue gas and will 
distort the result of the measurement.

 

 
 

 

Hint

 

 

As  an  alternative  to  the  heated  probe,  a  hand  soot  pump  can  be  used.  The 
possible condensation of water vapour is however not prevented with a hand 
soot pump.

 

 
 

 

Hint

 

 

For further information on the procedure for soot measurement with the heated 
probe, please refer to chapter "4.7 Soot...Oil trace"
