PROCESS DESCRIPTION
III.A TEST SET-UP DESCRIPTON
A 6" flue is connected to a standard 6" diameter vertical single wall pipe and insulated
chimney system was installed to 15' above floor level. The single wall pipe extended to 8
feet above the floor and insulated chimney extended the remaining height.
III.B AIR SUPPLY SYSTEM
Combustion air enters on the bottom of the heater, which is directed to the firebox. All
gases exit through the 6" flue located on top of the heater.
III.C TEST FUEL PROPERTIES
The species of fuel used was mainly beech. The fuel was split cordwood of nominal
length of 16 inches. The fuel was dried in air to average moisture content between 18%
and 28% on a dry basis. Cordwood fuel was loaded from side to side into the firebox per
manufacturer's instructions.

SAMPLING SYSTEMS
IV.A. SAMPLING LOCATIONS
Particulate samples are collected from the dilution tunnel at point 20 feet from the
tunnel entrance. The tunnel has two elbows in the system ahead of the sampling
section. (See Figure 1.) The sampling section is a continuous 13-foot section of 8-
inch diameter pipe straight over its entire length. Tunnel velocity pressure is
determined by a type "S" Pitot tube located 100 inches from the beginning of the
sampling section. The dry bulb thermocouple is located six inches downstream from
the Pitot tube. Tunnel samplers are located 48 inches downstream of the Pitot tube
and 36 inches upstream from the end of this section.
Stack gas samples are collected from the Stainless steel chimney section 8 feet ± 6
inches above the scale platform.
