The tracer release probe 5 is located in the flue 1, and the rotating blade 6 is arranged at the outlet of the tracer release probe 5. During specific operation, the tracer gas cylinder 9 transports the tracer to the tracer release probe 5. The airflow direction is as follows: Figure 1 As shown by the arrow in , when the flue gas flows through the rotating blades 6, the airflow can drive the rotating blades 6 to rotate to ensure that the tracer gas and the flue gas are fully mixed and uniform, wherein the rotating blades 6 are driven to rotate by the airflow, which can save power devices.
