Standard Test Method for Determining Particulate Matter Emissions from Pellet Heaters

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This test method is used for determining average emission rates and average emission factors for pellet heaters.

5.1.1 The emission factor is useful for determining emission performance during product development.

5.1.2 The emission factor is useful for the air quality regulatory community for determining compliance with emission performance limits.

5.1.3 The emission rate may be useful for the air quality regulatory community for determining impacts on air quality from pellet heaters.

5.2 The reporting units are grams of particulate per hour and grams of particulate per kilogram of dry fuel.

5.2.1 Appropriate reporting units for comparing emissions from all types of solid fuel fired appliances: g/kg.

5.2.2 Appropriate reporting units for predicting atmospheric emission impacts: g/h or g/MJ.
