继环境署于2024年初发布的EN 16911-2 MID修订后, 在进行容积流量和速度的QAL2和AST测试时,我们需要采用一些强制性要求 EN 14181.

 

What revisions have been made?

要求的第一个主要更改是强烈建议对所有新安装的CEMS进行一次性“预调查”测试. This is also recommended for existing CEMS. 预调查测试旨在确定安装的CEMS是否适合在不同流速下采样平面上遇到的剖面, 该测试的结果决定了要进行哪种类型的QAL2/AST. The two types of QAL2/AST calibration are:

  1. 预调查结果为通过:这允许进行1类QAL2 / AST测试-这是减少的QAL2测试, 因此,执行配对测试的最小数量可以从最少15个减少到9个(AST为4个)。. 在QAL2或AST过程中,作业者无需改变流型.
  2. 预调查结果为失败或尚未完成:这需要2类QAL2 / AST, which involves a minimum of 15 paired measurements (5 for an AST). The Type 2 QAL2 is split into different test routes, 在对上一个日历年正常运行期间的流量变化进行评估后.

Notes:

If the lowest 10th percentile flow is determined to be >80% of the maximum flow, 那么在QAL2测试期间,操作人员不需要改变流量剖面.

If the lowest 10th percentile flow is determined to be <80% of the maximum flow, 然后,作业者必须为他们的测试伙伴提供低流量条件,以便在这些条件下进行单次测试, before returning the flow to normal, as part of the QAL2 tests.

 

How to perform revised EN 14181 flow assessments

以便对即将进行的上一历年的不同流量进行评估, contact your testing partner about submitting your CEMS data. This data should include the following:

  1. Time and date
  2. Volume Flow Rate value (corrected conditions)
  3. 如果相应的测量被认为是有效的数据,则标记或列突出显示(有效的数据例如,设备正常运行/或由于启动或关闭/设备关闭或处于维护周期而无效).

Upon receipt of the data, your testing partner will remove all invalid data, determine how varied your flow is over the normal operation, 然后建议在您的EN 14181流量评估期间采取哪些步骤.

Summary of revisions and next steps

最近修订的环境局的MID对EN 16911-2, released in early 2024, 对体积流量和速度的QAL2和AST测试带来了重大变化 EN 14181. 与测试伙伴合作评估过去一年的流量变化对EN 14181流量评估至关重要. 这些修订强调了对可靠的排放监测系统进行彻底测试和数据分析的重要性.
