Exhaust flow calibration for a large‐scale calorimetry system using tracer gas dilution
Rodney A. Bryant
Abstract:Exhaust flow measurements are a significant source of uncertainty for measurements of heat release rate in large‐scale fire experiments. Irregular flow distributions are often present in the exhaust ducts making it difficult to measure flow accurately. Tracer gas dilution (TGD), a measurement method for volume flow, is not sensitive to flow distribution and has been applied to calibrate flow measurement devices at the exhaust ducts of a large‐scale open calorimetry system. The in‐line calibration reduced the b… Show more
