Burning period #1

1. PM sample*

 

Burning period #2

2. PM sample*

It is permissible at the start of the batch charge adding to manually open the air intake(s) for up to a maximum period of 3 min in order to achieve proper ignition (this is to be carried out by a single action setting the controls to a defined ignition position). After this maximum 3-min period the air intake(s) shall be reset to give the specified nominal heat output. Then continue operating the appliance at the nominal heat output. This maximum 3-min period is to be included as part of the burning period duration and shall be regarded for efficiency and emission determination. Any other operation such as poking, raking or leaving the door ajar is also allowed during the first 3 min.

Measure and record the temperature of the trihedron test hearth and the walls either continuously or at regular intervals of not more than 1 min to ensure that the maximum temperatures achieved are recorded.

The adding intervals of the batch charges are defined by user instruction or specified CO2 % level with a tolerance of ±0,5 vol%. The burning period shall end according to criterion of CO2 % is 4 % or defined CO2 % adding criteria if it is less than 4 %. Record the duration of the burning period.

EN 16510-1:2022 A.4.10.4.2.2 is replaced with following:

Start the flue gas extraction system and adjust the applied draught to give a static pressure within ± 2 Pa of the flue draught used in the performance test at nominal heat output.

Sauna test room internal temperature is measured from location defined in A.1.1001.

Load the appliance with sufficient test fuel to ensure ignition of the fuel in accordance with the appliance manufacturer's instructions. Begin the test period once the sauna test room internal temperature has first exceeded 60 °C and then levelled out at 60 °C. This period is the pre-test period.

The test period shall directly follow the ignition and pre-test period once the sauna test room interna temperature has levelled out at 60 °C. Sufficient mass of test fuel shall be added to fill the appliance to maximum and the air controls shall be set to the maximum opening to give the highest burning rate. The flue draught shall be increased to 3 Pa greater than that used for the nominal heat output test and shall be maintained within Pa of this value.

NOTE Filling the appliance to its maximum means filling up to the upper level of the firebox opening in the configuration given in the operating instructions.

Observe the static pressure and adjust the applied flue draught, if necessary, to keep the static pressure within Pa of the appropriate test value.

Measure and record, either continuously or at regular intervals of not more than 1 minute, the following parameters:

— The temperatures on the ceiling and the walls (and floor if necessary) of the sauna test room,

— The temperature in the fuel storage container (if fitted),

— The wooden rod temperature in front of and at the sides of the sauna stove.

The sauna test room internal temperature shall rise to at least 110 °C. If the first filling of wood is not sufficient to achieve this temperature, then further amounts of wood shall be added until this temperature is reached.

End the test period when the reading of the CO2 level in the flue gas after the last fuel addition reaches 4,0 %. Record the maximum temperatures achieved.
