Introduction
Pacific Energy of Duncan, BC, contracted with PFS-TECO to perform EPA certification
testing on FP16 LE Wood-Fired Room Heater. All testing was performed at PFS-TECO’s
Portland Laboratory. All testing was performed by Sebastian Button.
Notes
• Prior to start of testing, 50 hours of conditioning was performed by Pacific Energy
staff at a medium burn setting, in accordance with ASTM E3053.
• Prior to start of testing, the dilution tunnel was cleaned with a steel brush.
• Front filters were changed on sample train A at one hour for all 3 test runs.
• A total of 3 test runs were completed. Test runs were performed in accordance
with ASTM E3053. All runs have been found to be appropriate, no anomalies
happened, and all runs reported below have been validated and found compliant.
See the Run Narrative section for further detail on each run.
• All fuels loads were positioned in an east-west orientation in the firebox, in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• No fuel pieces used for testing were intentionally debarked.
• All fuel pieces were split to meet the individual and total load weight criteria based
on the firebox volume.
• No fuel pieces were squared.
• Negative weights found on filters are due to filter material sticking to O-rings and
have been appropriately handled. Negative weights on O-rings and probes are
treated as zero in accordance with ASTM E2515.

Results
The weighted average emissions rate for the 3 run test series was measured to be 1.4
g/hr with a Higher Heating Value efficiency of 63%. The average CO emission rate for the
3 tests was 0.9 g/min. The Pacific Energy FP16LE Wood-Fired Room Heater meets the
2020 cordwood PM emission standard of ≤2.5 g/hr per CFR 40 part 60, §60.532 (c).

Test Run Narrative
Run 1
Run 1 was performed on 04/03/2020 as a high fire test run per ASTM E3053. Emissions
sampling began from a cold start ignition of kindling and start-up fuel. The test fuel load
was loaded 19 minutes into the test. Testing was completed when 90% of the test fuel
load was consumed. Total test time was 81 minutes, main test fuel load burn time was 62
min. The particulate emissions rate from kindling ignition to test completion was 4.15 g/hr.
The burn rate of the test fuel load was 4.25 kg/hr. The main test load portion of the run
had an overall HHV efficiency of 57%. The train A front filter was changed at 1 hr. All test
results were appropriate and valid. There were no anomalies and all test criteria were
met.
Run 2
Run 2 was performed on 04/03/2020 as a low fire test run per ASTM E3053. The overall
test duration was 354 minutes. The burn rate for the test run was 0.98 kg/hr. The
particulate emissions rate for the test run was 0.36 g/hr. The run had an overall HHV
efficiency of 65.7%. The train A front filter was changed at 1 hr. All test results were
appropriate and valid. There were no anomalies and all test criteria were met.
Run 3
Run 3 was performed on 04/03/2020 as a medium fire test run per ASTM E3053. A non-
sampling high fire test was performed to establish a coal bed prior to starting the run. The
overall test duration was 230 minutes. The burn rate for the test run was 1.47 kg/hr,
therefore the medium fire category requirements were met, less than the mid-point of the
high and low burn rates (2.62 kg/hr). The particulate emissions rate for the test run was
1.02 g/hr. The run had an overall HHV efficiency of 63.7%. The train A front filter was
changed at 1 hr. There were no anomalies and all criteria were met.

Appliance Description
Model(s): FP16 LE
Additional Models Discussion: In addition to the tested model, this design is offered as
the FP16 AR LE. The difference between the models is that the FP16 LE has a rectangular
door design, while the FP16AR LE has an arched door design. Both models use an
identical design in aspects that may affect emissions or air control and are presumed to
have the same emissions performance as the test specimen provided for certification.
Appliance Type: Built-in Fireplace
Firebox Volume: 1.33 ft3
Air Introduction System: Primary Air enters the firebox from the front bottom of the
appliance and is channeled up the sides on the appliance and down through the air wash,
as well as through a pilot air opening in the front of the firebox. Primary air is controlled
via a damper arm located below the ashlip which moves left (open) to right (closed).
Secondary air is pulled through a fixed opening in the rear bottom of the appliance and
channeled up through secondary air baffle. Dimensions on all these features can be found
in Appendix D.
Baffles: A stainless steel secondary air baffle directs all flames towards the front of the
firebox.
Refractory Insulation: The firebox is lined with 1” thick firebrick.
Flue Outlet: 6-inch exhaust outlet located on the top of the appliance.
Fan: The FP16 LE is equipped from the factory with a convection fans that attach to either
side of the appliance.

Sample Points

Project # 20-583 Model: FP16 LE

Sampling Methods
ASTM E2515 was used in collecting particulate samples. The dilution tunnel is 6 inches
in diameter. All sampling conditions per ASTM E2515 were followed. No alternate
procedures were used with the exception of caveats described in ALT-125: Pall TX40
Emfab filters were used, filter temperatures were maintained between 80 and 90°F for all
tests, filters were weighed in pairs where applicable, and no sampling intervals fell outside
of proportional rates of +/- 10%.
Analytical Methods Description
All sample recovery and analysis procedures followed ASTM E2515 procedures. At the
end of each test run, filters, O-Rings and probes were removed from their housings,
dessicated for a minimum of 24 hours, and then weighed at 6 hour intervals to a
constant weight per ASTM E2515-11 Section 10.
Calibration, Quality Control and Assurances
Calibration procedures and results were conducted per EPA Method 28R, ASTM E2515-
11 and ASTM E3053. Test method quality control procedures (leak checks, volume meter
checks, stratification checks, proportionality results) followed the procedures outlined.
Appliance Sealing and Storage
Upon completion of testing, the appliance was secured with metal strapping and the seal
below was applied, the appliance was then returned to the manufacturer’s location at:
2975 Allenby Road Duncan, BC V9L 6V8, Canada, for archival.
