[Stoves] [Ethos] Additional presentations at ETHOS 2015

[Paul Anderson]

To all,

Thanks, Elisa, for the full program.   I note two things, for comments 
later.

1.  I do not see the name nor topic of Jessica Tryner of CSU, but she 
did present and she will be sending me a copy of the presentation, which 
will also appear at the Website, as Elisa has stated.   When I have that 
presentation, I will send comments.

2.  The topic of Sam Bentson's presentation is   "How to cheat the 
WBT."   I do not like the title because the word "cheat" is too value 
loaded.   Maybe "manipulate the WBT" or "modify assumptions about the 
WBT" or maybe " How changing some variables of the WBT can result in 
more favorable results."   The procedures are not changed, but some 
variables can be changed, and there is no requirement to report the 
changed variables when claiming Tier levels.

Whatever the name might be, I am interested in the content of Sam's 
presentation.   Anyone who attended, please list out that variables that 
were mentioned.   And Sam can be sending comments also, so we do not 
need to wait for the materials to be at the website.

We who attended do know one of the variables, because Dean Still clearly 
discussed it in his Keynote presentation.   Dean discussed the impact of 
using 9 liters of water instead of 5 L in the WBT, to accomplish Tier 4 
level of efficiencies.  And that change might have impacted CO and PM 
reading also, but that was not stated.

When we have more information, we can have a more full discussion.   
Please use new Subject lines that are specific to the topics of discussion.

Paul
