dc.description.abstractConcentrations of CO, CO₂, and O₂ in woodstove flue gases are some of the measured inputs required by algorithms used to calculate woodstove efficiency by the stack loss method. Since these algorithms have been shown to be very sensitive to small errors in these input values, it was necessary to determine whether measurements of these compounds are subject to interference. Concentrations of CO, CO₂, and O₂ in a series of flue gas samples were measured using a variety of independent measurement techniques for each compound. The concentrations indicated by each of the measurement techniques for each compound and sample were compared to check for agreement. Disagreement among the measurement techniques for a given compound could indicate interference if some trend could be established. Tests were conducted on four samples taken randomly during each of three stove firings.en
