Abstract A hood dilution stack sampling system was designed to measure particulate matter and trace gas emissions from biomass burning sources. The cooling, dilution and ageing process were simulated in the system after the hot flue gases were collected by the hood. A series of isokinetic nozzles were used to adjust dilution ratios ranged from 10 to 70. The design principles and the structure of the sampling system were described in detail. The reliability of the system was verified by performance tests. The system passed hermetic tests with acceptable fine particle loss, and negligible impacts on burning status. Real-time display of burning conditions was achieved by self-designed software. The system was utilized to characterize major carbonaceous species emissions from typical biomass burning sources in South China. Results indicated that the system was suitable of simulating various types of biomass burning activities.
