Abstract
The Outdoor Gas Emission Sampling (OGES) system was developed to serve as an economical alternative to expensive industrial gas monitoring equipment. By establishing a sampling plane with four discrete sampling points along the radial direction of the smoke plume, the heat release rate (HRR) was measured for large-scale open oil slick fires. This newfound technique was particularly noteworthy during enhanced burns involving Flame Refluxer™ technology, where it is believed that partial premixing of the fuel and air by the apparatus resulted in a higher HRR than existing flame height correlations would suggest, evident by the HRR calculated using mass burning rate and gas analysis methods, which were in good agreement. Results from OGES show the potential of using point sampling within the plume regime to measure the HRR of fires that exceed the capabilities of conventional hood-based calorimeters, especially when it pertains to large-scale open burns.
