VI.B.(2).
The tunnel velocity is calculated from a center point Pitot tube signal multiplied by an
adjustment factor. This factor is determined by a traverse of the tunnel as prescribed
in ASTM E2515. Final tunnel velocities and flow rates are calculated from EPA
Method 2, Equation 6.9 and 6.10. (Tunnel cross sectional area is the average from
both lines of traverse.)
Pitot tubes are cleaned before each test and leak checks are conducted after each
test.
VI.B.(3).
Proportionality was calculated in accordance with ASTM E2515-11. The data and
results are included in Appendix C.
VII. CONCLUSION
This test demonstrates that this unit is an affected facility under the definition given in the
regulation. The emission rate of 1.26 g/hr meets the EPA requirements for the Step 2
limits.
Model 1.7 Series is representative for similar models shown in Appendix D. All models
have the same internal design, electrical components, and controls. The only
differences are external cosmetic designs.
