Standard Test Method for Determining Particulate Matter Emissions from Wood Heaters Using Cordwood Test Fuel

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This test method is used for determining particulate matter (PM) emission rates and emission factors for wood heaters.

5.2 This method is used in conjunction with Annex A2 for determining particulate matter (PM) emissions for Single Burn Rate heaters.

5.3 Use of this test method in conjunction with Annex A1 and CSA B415.1 allows overall thermal efficiency, carbon monoxide emission rate, and particulate matter per unit of heat output to be determined.

5.4 The fuel load specified in this test method is cordwood that is representative of the fuel actually burned in homes. The intent is that the results from this test method will be more predictive of in-home performance than other test methods using a lumber crib of uniform dimensions.
