RCNY § 37-06
(a)Protocols for Testing Emissions Control Devices on Chain-Driven Commercial Char Broilers.
(i)Laboratory testing must be performed on an emissions control device that is installed on a chain-driven commercial char broiler per manufacturer's specifications. ASTM International Standard Test Method F 2239-10 must be followed using heavy load cooking tests and careful attention must be given to the following specifications as set forth in greater detail in such test method: a. The chain-driven commercial char broiler must be positioned such that a minimum of 6 inches is maintained between the edge of the hood and the vertical plane of the front and sides of the appliance. b. The patties must consist of 18-22% fat by weight and 58-62% moisture. The patties must be shaped into 0.375 inch thick round patties of 5 inch diameter. The fat and moisture content of the patties must be verified in accordance with the laboratory procedures set forth in the Association of Official Analytical Chemists Official Actions 960.39 and 950.46B. c. Patties must be loaded, cooked, and removed in accordance with Section 10 of ASTM International Standard Test Method F 2239-10 using heavy load conditions.
(ii)Emissions testing for filterable and condensable particulate matter must be performed following EPA Method 5, Appendix A-3 to 40 C.F.R. Part 60, or EPA Method 202, Appendix M to 40 C.F.R. Part 51, or South Coast Air Quality Management District Method 5.1. During each test, samples must be collected from the outlet of the control.
(b)Protocols for Testing Emissions Control Devices on Under-Fired Commercial Char Broilers.
(c)Reporting. The results of the testing required by this section must be submitted on forms prescribed by the department available on the department's website and must include the following information: a. Name and address of the manufacturer of the commercial char broiler, brand name, trade name, model number of the commercial char broiler, any accoutrements installed to enhance or support the operation of the emissions control device, the maximum air flow rate, and other relevant operating conditions during the test, as specified by the department. b. A description of the emissions control device used on the commercial char broiler model being certified. c. A statement that testing has been conducted in accordance with the requirements of this section. (Added City Record 8/17/2016, eff. 9/16/2016)
