15、section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959. United States13.1.5 smoke densitydensity, nthe concentration of smoke in the flue gas, measured as a Smoke Spot Number as describedin Test Method D2156.4. Su
16、mmary of Test Method4.1 The flue-gas smoke density is measured for various amounts of combustion air while the burner is operating at equilibriumconditions. Results are expressed as a plot of smoke density as a function of flue-gas carbon dioxide (CO2) content, or alternatively,as a function of perc
17、entage excess combustion air.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method relates efficiency of operation of domestic heating equipment to clean burning. Reducing combustion airin a burner gives more efficient operation. The extent to which combustion air can be reduced is limited by the onset ofunac
18、ceptable smoke production. By delineating the relation between smoke density and air supply, this test method (together withnet stack temperature data) defines the maximum efficiency for a given installation at any acceptable smoke level.5.2 For certain types of equipment, such as the rotary wall-fl
19、ame burner, too much excess air will cause smoke as well as toolittle. For these cases, the point of minimum excess air at the acceptable smoke level indicates the optimum efficiency.5.3 The operating temperatures of the equipment will affect these test results. The relation of excess air to smoke d
20、ensity is thussusceptible to some change at different points in an operating cycle. In practice, an adequate compromise is possible by operatingthe burner for 15 min before any readings are recorded and then obtaining the test data within a succeeding 25-min25 min period.5.4 Under laboratory conditi
21、ons, CO2 readings are reproducible to 60.3 % and smoke readings are reproducible to 612 smokespot number.6. Apparatus6.1 Sampling Device for determining smoke density, as described in the Apparatus section of Test Method D2156.6.2 Conventional Orsat Apparatus, or the equivalent, for determining the
22、volume percentage of CO2 in the dry flue gases.6.3 Suitable Flue Gas Probes for smoke density and CO2 measurements. These are to be located not more than 12 in. (300 mm)12 in. (300 mm) from the outlet of the boiler or furnace and at least two flue-pipe diameters before any barometric draft control(N
23、ote 2). The probe ends shall be located so that the samples are withdrawn from the centerline of the flue pipe.NOTE 2In some field installations, a compromise can be made, in which case the probes may be inserted as close to the outlet as possible, but notcloser to a barometric draft control than on
24、e flue pipe diameter. In the event this compromise cannot be met, the manufacturer may be requested to furnishinstructions stating the location of sampling points and the procedure for taking measurements.7. Procedure7.1 Start the burner and operate for 15 min 15 min according to manufacturers speci
25、fications (particular attention should bepaid to draft and oil pressure). Then take flue-gas samples for smoke and CO2 and record.7.2 Change the air shutter settings, operate for 4 min, sample, and record smoke and CO2. Repeat until a minimum of four datapoints is obtained, spaced over the range of
26、interest. The entire data-taking period must be accomplished within about 25 min25 min for a field installation.8. Report8.1 Report the smoke density-CO2 relation or the smoke density-excess air relation, or both, in graphical form. Fig. 1 showstypical pressure-atomizing burner and typical rotary wa
27、llflame burner data.FIG. 1 Typical Smoke-CO2 and Excess Air-CO2 CurvesD2157 1828.2 For fuels of varying composition, excess air is of more fundamental significance than CO2. It is calculated from fuelcomposition data and flue gas CO2 by conventional methods. For many purposes, however, available No.
28、 1 and No. 2 fuel oils aresimilar enough in composition so that results reported only in terms of percent CO2 are useful. When this is done, report the fuelas either No. 1 or No. 2 fuel oils.9. Precision and Bias9.1 PrecisionNumerical rating of the smoke spot number as determined by the statistical
29、examination of the test resultsobtained by seven operators and smoke guns on identical smoke samples at six different air levels is as follows:9.1.1 RepeatabilityThe difference between the two smoke spot test results obtained by the same operator with the sameapparatus under constant operating condi
30、tions on identical test material would, in the long run, in the normal and correct operationof the test method, exceed one-half of a smoke spot number for only one case in twenty (Note 3).9.1.2 ReproducibilityUnder laboratory conditions, CO2 measurements are reproducible to 60.3 volume percent CO2.
31、Thedifference between two single and independent measurements of smoke spot number by different operator/instrument pairs at thesame location on identical test material would, in the long run and in the normal and correct operation of the test method, exceedone smoke spot number for only one case in
32、 twenty (Note 3).NOTE 3On July 10, 1989, seven test participants performed the measurement of smoke density in flue gases from burning distillate fuels at sixdifferent excess air settings. All smoke spot determinations were made, in duplicate, by each operator using a separate smoke gun, at one test
33、 site. NoCO2 measurements were performed during this program. The cited reproducibility for CO2 is taken from the 1980 version of this test method, which didnot reference the source of the reproducibility.39.2 BiasThe bias of this test method cannot be determined because there is no accepted standar
