Design Optimization and Field Verification of an Integrated Residential Furnace. Phase 2

摘要

The report describes part of Phase II of an investigation to further optimize the design of a low-emission/high-efficiency oil-fired residential furnace that was derived from earlier EPA-funded studies and to obtain field verification of its emission and efficiency characteristics. Details concerning three major subdivisions of Phase II work are given: (1) the construction and installation of the test furnaces, (2) the 1977-79 field tests, and (3) the analysis of the results of the performance monitoring, including a supplemntary laboratory test to evaluate the measurement techniques used in the field tests.
