The pellet heater under evaluation is fueledwith the fuel type or types specified by the pellet heatermanufacturer. The fuel types may be any pelletized, granular orparticulate biomass fuel

24、for which the pellet heater has beendesigned to combust. The fuels must be able to be fed to thepellet heater burn pot from a fuel storage hopper using an augeror other fuel feeding mechanism. An integrated test run isconducted including three burn rate segments ranging from lowto maximum. The lengt

25、h of time of each burn rate segmentdetermines the weighting given to each segment in the inte-grated test result. The weight of the fuel is measured as thechange in weight of the heater from the beginning to end ofeach burn rate segment of the test run. Burn rate for each testrun segment is determin

26、ed based on the weight of the fuelconsumed during the segment divided by the length of thesegment and corrected to a dry fuel basis. Particulate samplingbegins after the heater has been in operation at the burn ratesetting for the first test run segment for at least one hour and thetest run is termi

27、nated after the integrated test run cycle iscomplete. The total particulate emissions are determined overthe full integrated test run length. The average particulateemissions rate is then determined from the total particulateemissions determined using Test Method E2515 divided by thelength of the in

28、tegrated test run and is reported in grams ofparticulate per hour. The average particulate emission factormay also be determined from the total particulate emissionsdivided by the total dry basis weight of the fuel consumedduring the integrated test run and is reported in grams ofparticulate per dry

29、 kilogram of fuel. If the efficiency of theheater is measured, average particulate emissions may also bereported in grams of particulate per unit of average heatdelivered over the integrated test run. A separate test run isrequired for each fuel type specified by the manufacturer foruse with the hea

30、ter. If more than one grade of a given fuel typeis recommended by the manufacturer in the manufacturerswritten instructions for use in the heater, the test fuel shall bethe lowest recommended grade.5.
