Abstract |
The report gives results of a comparison of three sampling methods for wood burning stoves: the EPA Modified Method 5 (MM5), the Oregon Method 7 (OM7), and the ASTM proposed Method P180. It also addresses the effect that emission format (grams per hour, grams per kilogram wood burned, micrograms per joule heat output) has on the intermethod correlations. Five stoves (two catalytic, one noncatalytic generic, one noncatalytic high efficiency, and one catalytic fireplace insert) were tested. Test results showed good correlations between the total train emissions obtained with each method. The strength of the correlations varied with the emission format: the grams per hour format showed the strongest correlation. POM emissions showed a general (but weak) correlation with total emissions when the grams per hour format was used; there were no correlations when the emissions were expressed in either of the other two formats. |
