INDIVIDUAL RUN SUMMARIES
Run 1 -
Test procedures followed to produce a high burn rate with a primary air setting of
fully open. Observed burn rate was calculated from a hot to hot cycle at 3.37
kg/hr. Emissions results were calculated using particulate sampling from kindling,
start-up fuel, and test fuel load combined (cold to hot). Burn rate, and efficiency
were calculated using data from the test fuel load only (hot to hot). Gravimetric
analysis of probe assemblies did not produce negative weights, train precision
meets specified limits. No sampling anomalies occurred, this test run was
determined to be valid and appropriate for inclusion in the weighted average.
Run 2 - Test procedures were followed to produce a low burn rate with a primary air
setting of full closed. Observed burn rate was calculated at 0.73 kg/hr. Emissions
and efficiency results were calculated using a hot to hot burn cycle, a coal bed
generated by the high burn procedure was used. Gravimetric analysis of probe
assemblies did not produce negative weights, train precision meets specified
limits. No sampling anomalies occurred, this test run was determined to be valid
and appropriate for inclusion in the weighted average.
Run 3 - Test procedures followed to produce a high burn rate with a primary air setting of
fully open. Observed burn rate was calculated at 2.77 kg/hr. Burn rate was
calculated using data from the kindling, start-up, and fuel load (cold to hot). No
sampling occurred, this test run was not included in the weighted average.
Run 4 - Test procedures were followed to produce a medium high burn rate with a
primary air setting of 6” from the left stove leg to the right edge of the air control.
Observed burn rate was calculated at 0.70 kg/hr. Burn rate was 0.03 kg/h slower
than the low burn operated at an air setting of full closed due to the way the logs
fell during the combustion process, coal bed adjustment with intent to increase
combustion occurred at 4 hours 50 minutes into the test due to 0 weight loss in 10
minutes. Emissions and efficiency results were calculated using a hot to hot burn
cycle, a coal bed generated by a high burn conducted in test three was used.
Gravimetric analysis of probe assemblies did not produce negative weights, train
precision meets specified limits. No sampling anomalies occurred, this test run
was determined to be valid and appropriate for inclusion in the weighted average.
