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 at 5.74 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).
Quality checks also found a filter temperature exceeded limits by a maximum of 1
degree for 1 reading and dropped below minimum limits by a maximum of 5
degrees for three readings during particulate sampling. An evaluation was
conducted on the data to determine if there was evidence data had been
compromised by these limit infractions. Comparing proportional rates and
sample precision between the two sample probes, no evidence was found that
would show the brief limit infraction caused any compromise of the data. No
additional sampling anomalies occurred, this test run was determined to be valid
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. After starting the test, it was apparent that the gasket in the
door had been damaged, causing a burn rate in excess of an anticipated kilogram
per hour. This test was stopped and omitted from the average due to equipment
failure.
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 5.66 kg/hr. Emissions sampling
did not occur during this procedure, it was conducted to create a coal bed for run
4.
Run 4 - Test procedures were followed to produce a low burn rate with a primary air
setting of full closed. Observed burn rate was calculated at 1.01 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. No sampling anomalies
occurred, this test run was determined to be valid for inclusion in the weighted
average.
Run 5 - Test procedures followed to produce a high burn rate with a primary air setting of
fully open. Observed burn rate was calculated at 5.66 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).
Quality checks also found a filter temperature exceeded limits by a maximum of 3
degree for 3 reading and dropped below minimum limits by a maximum of 4
degrees for four readings during particulate sampling. An evaluation was
conducted on the data to determine if there was evidence data had been
compromised by these limit infractions. Comparing proportional rates and
sample precision between the two sample probes, no evidence was found that
would show the brief limit infraction caused any compromise of the data. No
