The wood heater under evaluation is fueled by cordwoodtest fuel loads. Test runs employ either a hot-to-hot cycle or a cold-to-hot cycle dependi
39、ng on the burn rate category of the testrun. The test fuel pieces must be within the allowable range of specific gravity. The test fuel load weight and composition isdetermined based on the usable firebox volume of the heater. For low and medium fire test runs, a charcoal bed is established byconduc
40、ting a full high fire test run. That high fire test run may be an actual test run or may be just for the purpose of establishingthe charcoal bed for a low or medium fire test run. The test fuel load is placed on the charcoal bed and given time to ignite beforethe air control(s) is (are) set to the t
41、est run condition.4.1.1 For the low and medium fire test runs, particulate emission sampling and efficiency measurements begin immediately priorto addition of the test fuel load to the firebox and end when the test run is terminated in accordance with the specifications in themethod.4.1.2 For the hi
42、gh fire test runs, the test run for the purposes of determining emission rate or emission factor begins with a cold(see 8.5.1) empty (see 8.2.1) firebox. Kindling (and crumpled newspaper, if specified) are used to ignite start-up fuel pieces which,in turn, are used to ignite the test fuel load follo
43、wing manufacturers written instructions. Particulate emission sampling beginsbefore the kindling is ignited and ends when the test run is terminated in accordance with the specifications in the method.4.1.3 For low fire, medium fire, and high fire test runs, efficiency is determined on a hot-to-hot
44、cycle and efficiency parametermeasurements begin when the test fuel load is added to the firebox and end when the test run is terminated in accordance with thespecifications in the method.8 This method supersedes Test Method E2780 Annex A1.E3053 1834.1.4 For low fire, medium fire, and high fire test
45、 runs, average burn rate is determined on a hot-to-hot basis and is based onthe weight of the portion of the test fuel load burned during the test run divided by the duration of the test run beginning whenthe test fuel load is added to the firebox and ending when the test run is terminated. Burn rat
46、e for all test runs is adjusted to a dryfuel weight basis.4.1.5 The total particulate emissions are determined over the test run duration. The particulate emissions rate is then determinedfrom the total particulate emissions divided by the duration of the test run and is reported in grams of particu
47、late per hour. Thetest run duration for the high fire test for purposes of determining particulate emission rate includes the kindling and start-up fuelperiod before the test fuel load is added to the firebox. The particulate emission factor lb/lb (g/kg) also may be determined fromthe total particul
48、ate emissions divided by the dry basis weight of the total fuel weight burned and is reported in pounds ofparticulate per dry pound of fuel (grams of particulate per dry kilogram of fuel). For high fire test runs, the total test fuel weightwhen determining emission factor includes any kindling and s
49、tart-up fuel consumed before the test fuel load is added less any fuelremaining at the end of the test run.4.1.6 This test method also may be used in conjunction with Annex A1 and CSA B415.1 for determining heat output andefficiency. If heat output and efficiency are determined, particulate emissions per unit of heat output also may be calculated andis reported in pounds of particulate per million Btu of heat output (grams of particulate per megajoule). For low and medium firetest runs, the efficiency, heat output, and partic
