### LHV - the heat value of a combustion process assuming all the water component is in vapor state at the end of combustion, so that its latent heat is not available . 2 

### HHV - the heat value of a combustion process assuming all the water component is in liquid form of the combustion gas, the HHV takes into account the latent heat of vaporization of water in the combustion products

### G. Please provide a list of characteri stics that are critical for pellet fuels used in the units you manufacture (e.g., moisture content, ash content, dimensions, etc.) and why you think so . Ash Content, Moisture Content, Fines, Species of W ood, and Overall dimensions are all important to the operation of our pellet units. Variability of these characteristics has no doubt been the biggest challenge to our end users (and therefore the manufacturers) over the last several years. When the customer becomes accustomed to the performance, heat outpu t and maintenance intervals required by a specific fuel...and then those qualities change, the customer is forced to modify or alter how they use and maintain their appliance. This isn’t necessarily the issue between “We st Coast” and “East Coast” fuel which we’ve dealt with for years, but variability of quality and consistency within regions and sometimes within brands which makes it difficult to keep up with. W e’ve done all we can do to educate o ur customers on visual cues which might suggest they need to al ter the operation of the units or increase the maintenance intervals but more consistency and control of the composition and performance of the fuel would:
 greatly increase the satisfaction of our customers  greatly reduce warranty/customer service cost fo r manufacturers  result in finer tuned, cleaner burning more efficient appliances  Reduce the R&D costs of developing new units
