Flow Reference Method Testing and Analysis; Field Test Plan. Texas Utilities211 Decordova Steam Electric Station

摘要

This report describes the experiemental design and test plan for the first of211u001ethree field tests that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted 211u001ein 1997 as part of a major study to evaluate potential improvements to Method 2, 211u001eEPA's test method for measuring flue gas volumetric flow in stacks. The 211u001eexperimental design involved four test teams taking concurrent in-stack 211u001emeasurements with velocity sensing probes. Seven types of probes were included in 211u001ethe study. Three test matrices were used to gather data for inter-probe and inter-211u001eteam comparisons and to assess the impact of velocity decline near the stack wall 211u001eon volumetric flow measurements.
