Abstract

Arrangements for withdrawing carefully controlled samples from an active flue gas source are disclosed. A testing assembly is provided for connection to downstream processing equipment to obtain a sample from a gas stream. Included is a probe, a flexible sample line and a coupler joining the probe and the flexible sample line. At least one externally controlled or self-regulating heating cable is put in heating communication with the flexible line. A receptacle engaging the coupler is also provided for positioning the probe with respect to the flue gas source.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 11 / 904,952 filed Sep. 28, 2007, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to the testing of atmospheric emissions and, in particular, to testing equipment for withdrawing samples from a flue gas stream or other atmospheric discharge, especially on a continuous testing basis.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Owners and operators of certain combustion devices are required to comply with a variety of environmental regulations pertaining to the maximum allowable emissions of a particular substance. One example of such regulations is directed to the concentration of a substance suspended in a waste gas, such as the flue gas of a combustion device, that discharges a waste gas stream into the atmosphere. In addition to specifying maximum allowable amounts or concentrations, environmental regulations at times specify how ...
