VGB Research Project 338 "Validated methods for flue gas flow rate calculation with reference to EN 12952-15"

Final report of VGB Research Project 338 "Validated methods for flue gas flow rate calculation with reference to EN 12952-15" published.

Within this research project, it is demonstrated by validation that the flue gas flow calculation formulas from EN 12952-15 perform very well for a wide range of fuels. The EN 12952-15 standard is a suitable international reference for flue gas calculation.  There are important requirements for reporting the mass emissions from combustion installations and it is important that calculation methods are underpinned by reference to international standards. The performance of the calculation methods is quantified and, in many cases, the calculation approach is superior to instrumental measurements. The authors therefore recommend the use of calculation methods as a cheap, accurate and relatively simple means of determining flue gas flow rate.
