Clean Air Velocity Measurement
s The Dirty Air Velocity Probe traverseinitially read ~6% high compared tothe true pipe velocity profile measuredwith a pitot probe
s The deviation was found to be caused by probe blockage of the pipe cross section and incomplete measurement at thefar wall due to probe geometry
s With corrections for these two probe geometry influences, theDirty Air Probe traverse correlated to within 0.5% of the truepipe velocity profile

Dirty Air Velocity Measurement
s Results indicate that the velocity readingis, in fact, influenced by the amount of coal flowing in the pipe
s It is hypothesized that the coal affects the pressure readingon each side of the probe’s disc
s This causes the Dirty Air Probe to read high compared to thetrue air flow rate
s A correction factor can be developed based on the coal massflow rate to restore accuracy to within 2%
s This creates a bit of a dilemma in setting the extraction ratefor isokinetic coal sampling, but corrections can be madepost-test

Isokinetic Extraction Rate
Sensitivitys Accuracy of the coal flow measurement is degraded for both
methods if the isokinetic extraction rate is incorrect
s The ASME method is more sensitive to extraction rateq For every 10% change in the extraction rate, coal flow
measurement changes by ~7%
s The ISO 9931 method is less sensitive to extraction rateq For every 10% change in the extraction rate, coal flow
measurement changes by ~2.5%

In Summary, Results to Date Suggest…
s Dirty Air Probe can achieve dirty air flow measurement accuracyto within 2%q Proper correction factors are requiredq Velocity reading is dependent on air-to-coal ratio, complicating
calculation of isokinetic extraction rate
s For a single upstream bendq ASME method can achieve coal measurement accuracy within 10-13%q More test ports are required as test plane moves closer to an elbowq ISO 9931 method can achieve coal measurement accuracy to within 8%
s Accuracy of both methods is influenced by geometry of upstreamelbows (degree of roping)
s Rotorprobe is less sensitive to extraction rate than ASMEmethod
s Need to perform additional testing to complete the data analysisand create generalized correction factors
