The wood heater under evaluation is fueledwith kindling, pre-burn fuel and a test fuel load. Each test runis a hot-to-hot cycle. Individual test runs are conducted
29、at burnrates ranging from low to maximum burn rates. The fuel loadconfiguration is determined based on the usable firebox volumeof the heater plus the firebox dimensions and geometry.Kindling and crumpled newspaper are used to ignite a pre-burnfuel load(s) that is burned to heat the wood heater to n
30、ormaloperating temperature and to establish a charcoal bed. The testfuel load is placed on the charcoal bed and given time to ignitebefore the air control(s) is (are) set to the test run condition.When the full weight of the test fuel load has been burned, thetest run is terminated. Burn rate is det
31、ermined based on theweight of the test fuel load divided by the length of test run andcorrected to a dry fuel basis. Particulate sampling begins beforethe test fuel load is added and stops when the test runterminates. The total particulate emissions are determined overthe test run length. The partic
32、ulate emissions rate is thendetermined from the total particulate emissions divided by thelength of the test run and is reported in grams of particulate perhour. The particulate emission factor may also be determinedfrom the total particulate emissions divided by the dry basisweight of the test fuel
33、 load and is reported in grams ofparticulate per dry kilogram of fuel. This test method may alsobe used in conjunction with CSA B415.1 for determining heatoutput and efficiency. If heat output is determined, particulateemissions per unit of heat delivered may also be calculated andis reported in gra
34、ms of particulate per megajoule.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used for determining emission ratesand emission factors for wood heaters.5.1.1 The emission factor is useful for determining emissionperformance during product development.5.1.2 The emission factor is useful for the air q
35、ualityregulatory community for determining compliance with emis-sion performance limits.5.1.3 The emission rate may be useful for the air qualityregulatory community for determining impacts on air qualityfrom wood heaters.5.2 The reporting units are grams of particulate per hour,grams of particulate
36、 per kilogram of dry fuel and grams ofparticulate per megajoule of heat output.E2780 10 (2017)25.2.1 Appropriate reporting units for comparing emissionsfrom all types of solid fuel fired appliances: g/kg.5.2.2 Appropriate reporting units for predicting atmosphericemission impacts: g/h or g/MJ.5.3 Th
37、e fuel load specified in this test method is a lumbercrib of uniform dimensions, identical to that specified in EPAMethod 28. Cribs were specified in EPA Method 28 to providea reproducible and repeatable test method. In normal operationthe majority of fuel used by consumers is cordwood withirregular
38、 shapes and dimensions. Very little data exists toindicate whether or not the fuel cribs specified in this standardyield results that are predictive of performance using cordwoodfuel. This standard, therefore, includes Annex A1 whichprovides a fueling procedure using cordwood. It is provided sothat
39、those interested in measuring emissions performance withcordwood will have a consistent method to follow.Acompara-tive database using the two fueling procedures will providedata to determine whether test results using crib fuel correlateto test results using cordwood fuel.6.
