- Abstract
- The objective of the study was to determine if the direct measurement method of condensate collection that was developed during prior testing of a condensing boiler would be adequate for direct measurement of the condensate from gas fueled forced warm air condensing furnaces. Results of these tests were for purposes of supporting a test procedure proposed by the Department of Energy and responding to questions raised in comments to the proposed procedures. Another objective of these tests was to quantify the effects of varying test room ambient temperatures and relative humidity in the rate of condensate collected with condensing furnaces.
