Page 7 of 15 RUN #2 June 7, 2016. The furnace was set to draw a category 1 draw rate. The combustion blower was turned on and off to maintain the desired heat rate. The Test Load weighed 38.55 lbs. and utilized a 3.9 lb. coal bed. The average Btu/hr output was 23,905. Burn time was 5.95 hours. The kg/hr burn rate was 2.33. RUN #3 June 8, 2016. The furnace was set to draw a category 4 draw rate. The combustion blower was turned on to maintain the desired heat rate. The Test Load weighed 37.54 lbs. and utilized a 7.6 lb. coal bed. The average Btu/hr output was 68,541. Burn time was 1.45 hours. The kg/hr burn rate was 9.29. RUN #4 June 8, 2016. The furnace was set to draw a category 2 draw rate. The convection blower was turned on and off to maintain the desired heat rate. The Test Load weighed 38.37 lbs. and utilized a 5.1 lb. coal bed. The average Btu/hr output was 26,730. Burn time was 4.88 hours. The kg/hr burn rate was 2.84. RUN #5 June 9, 2016. The furnace was set to draw a category 4 draw rate. The combustion blower was turned on to maintain the desired heat rate. The Test Load weighed 37.85 lbs. and utilized an 8.6 lb. coal bed. The average Btu/hr output was 79,814. Burn time was 1.35 hours. The kg/hr burn rate was 10.031. *Client felt that the output for the first category 4 test was too low, so a second test was performed and the combined average of the two tests are used in the final results.
