Abstract:
An apparatus for inserting a compositionally consistent and diverse surrogate in solution from a source, at a given rate, into an exhaust stream confined in a structure, comprising:a regulated pump, having an input and an output, said input operably connected to the surrogate source;a burner;a combustion chamber having a combustion zone, said chamber having an input and an output, operably connected to said burner;a fuel source operably connected to said burner;a source of forced air, capable of regulation, operably interfaced to said combustion chamber;an air source, capable of regulation, having an input and an output;a device for inputting the surrogate in solution to said combustion chamber, said device having an input and an output, and operably connected at said device's input to said pump's output and to said air source's output; anda connection from said combustion chamber's output to the structure,wherein said surrogate in solution is combusted by said burner in said combustion chamber, andwherein said output of said combustion chamber is input to the structure via said connection, andwherein the surrogate is presented continuously to an emissions sensor.
