• Previous fire: 24 hours.
• Grate air open. Ashbox door open until stack temperature reached 400F (11 minutes) and then closed (air open)
• Reference run.
• This run was a best guess as to an optimum fuel loading and optimum air.
• Very clean, low PM, low CO, very good efficiency.
• The CO/CO2 ratio was the lowest recorded during the series, with a minimum of .0039 from minute 50 to minute 55
• CO bottomed out at 226 ppm, or 0.023% (at 13.2% oxygen)
• This run will serve as a benchmark for comparison for future tests.
