General Description
The smoke sampling kit (SE-2580) is used to measure
smoke levels at the exhaust stack at full load and rated
speed.
The smoke sampling kit (SE-2580) sampling pump
draws off a precise amount of exhaust gas from the
exhaust pipe of the respective engine and then sucks it
through a filter paper disk.
The filter paper disk, in turn, darkens during this process
and thus gives the measure of the soot content of the
exhaust gases. The filter disk is then compared to the
Bacharach Oil Burner Smoke Scale (Chart C). The
Bosch smoke number is then determined and compared
to the standards given in the Performance Data
Guidelines, in this section.
