§ 89.424-96 - Dilute emission sampling calculations.  


Latest version.
  • (a) The final reported emission test results are computed by use of the following formula:

    ER17JN94.024 Where: Awm = Weighted mass emission level (HC, CO, CO2, or NOX) in grams per kilowatt-hour. gi = Mass emission level in grams, measured during the mode. WFi = Effective weighing factor. kW-hri = Total kilowatt-hours (kilowatts integrated over time) for the mode.

    (b) The mass of each pollutant for each mode for bag measurements and diesel heat exchanger system measurements is determined from the following equations:

    (1) Hydrocarbon mass:

    HCmass= Vmix × DensityHC × (HCconc/106)

    (2) Oxides of nitrogen mass:

    NOXmass = Vmix × DensityNO2 × KH × (NOXconc/106)

    (3) Carbon monoxide mass:

    COmass= Vmix× DensityCO× (COconc/106)

    (4) Carbon dioxide mass:

    CO2mass= Vmix× DensityCO2 × (CO2conc/102)

    (c) The mass of each pollutant for the mode for flow compensated sample systems is determined from the following equations:

    ER17JN94.025 er17jn94.026

    (d) Meaning of symbols:

    (1) For hydrocarbon equations:

    HCmass= Hydrocarbon emissions, in grams per test mode. DensityHC= Density of hydrocarbons is (.5800 kg/m3) for #1 diesel, and (0.5746 kg/m3) for #2 diesel, assuming an average carbon to hydrogen ratio of 1:1.93 for #1 diesel, and 1:1.80 for #2 diesel at 20 °C and 101.3 kPa pressure. HCconc= Hydrocarbon concentration of the dilute exhaust sample corrected for background, in ppm carbon equivalent (that is, equivalent propane times 3). ER17JN94.027 Where: HCe= Hydrocarbon concentration of the dilute exhaust bag sample or, for diesel heat exchanger systems, average hydrocarbon concentration of the dilute exhaust sample as calculated from the integrated HC traces, in ppm carbon equivalent. For flow compensated sample systems (HCe)i is the instantaneous concentration. HCd= Hydrocarbon concentration of the dilution air as measured, in ppm carbon equivalent.

    (2) For oxides of nitrogen equations:

    NOXmass= Oxides of nitrogen emissions, in grams per test mode. Density NO2= Density of oxides of nitrogen is 1.913 kg/m3, assuming they are in the form of nitrogen dioxide, at 20 °C and 101.3 kPa pressure. NOXconc= Oxides of nitrogen concentration of the dilute exhaust sample corrected for background, in ppm: ER17JN94.028 Where: NOXe= Oxides of nitrogen concentration of the dilute exhaust bag sample as measured, in ppm. For flow compensated sample systems (NOXe)i is the instantaneous concentration. NOXd= Oxides of nitrogen concentration of the dilute air as measured, in ppm.

    (3) For carbon monoxide equations:

    COmass=Carbon monoxide emissions, grams per test mode. DensityCO=Density of carbon monoxide (1.164 kg/m3 at 20 °C and 101.3 kPa pressure). COconc=Carbon monoxide concentration of the dilute exhaust sample corrected for background, water vapor, and CO2 extraction, ppm. ER17JN94.029 Where: COe=Carbon monoxide concentration of the dilute exhaust bag sample volume corrected for water vapor and carbon dioxide extraction, ppm. For flow compensated sample systems, (COe)i is the instantaneous concentration.

    The following calculation assumes the carbon to hydrogen ratio of the fuel is 1:1.85. As an option the measured actual carbon to hydrogen ratio may be used:

    COe=[1−0.01925CO2e−0.000323R]COem Where: COem=Carbon monoxide concentration of the dilute exhaust sample as measured, ppm. CO2e=Carbon dioxide concentration of the dilute exhaust bag sample, in percent, if measured. For flow compensated sample systems, (CO2e)i is the instantaneous concentration. For cases where exhaust sampling of CO2 is not performed, the following approximation is permitted: ER17JN94.030 a=Average carbon to hydrogen ratio. M1=Fuel mass consumed during the test cycle. R=Relative humidity of the dilution air, percent. COd=Carbon monoxide concentration of the dilution air corrected for water vapor extraction, ppm. COd=(1−0.000323R)COdm Where: COdm=Carbon monoxide concentration of the dilution air sample as measured, ppm. Note:

    If a CO instrument which meets the criteria specified in § 86.1311-90 of this chapter is used and the conditioning column has been deleted, COem must be substituted directly for COe and COdm must be substituted directly for COd.

    (4) For carbon dioxide equation:

    CO2mass=Carbon dioxide emissions, in grams per test mode. Density CO2=Density of carbon dioxide is 1.830 kg/m3, at 20 °C and 760 mm Hg pressure. CO2conc=Carbon dioxide concentration of the dilute exhaust sample corrected for background, in percent. ER17JN94.031 Where: CO2d=Carbon dioxide concentration of the dilution air as measured, in percent. ER17JN94.032

    (6) KH=Humidity correction factor. For compression-ignition engines:

    KH=1/[1−0.0182 (H−10.71)]. Where: H=Absolute humidity of the engine intake air in grams of water per kilogram of dry air and H =(6.211)Ri×Pd)/(Pb−(Pd×Ri/100)) Where: Ri=Relative humidity of the engine intake air, in percent. Pd=Saturated vapor pressure (kPa) at the engine intake air dry bulb temperature. PB=Barometric pressure (kPa). (e) The final reported brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC) shall be computed by use of the following formula: ER17JN94.033 Where: BSFC=brake-specific fuel consumption in grams of fuel per kilowatt-hr (kW-hr) M=mass of fuel in grams, used by the engine during a mode kW-hr=total kilowatts integrated with respect to time for a mode

    (f) The mass of fuel for the mode is determined from mass fuel flow measurements made during the mode, or from the following equation:

    ER17JN94.034 Where: M=Mass of fuel, in grams, used by the engine during the mode. Gs=Grams of carbon measured during the mode: ER17JN94.035 R2=Grams C in fuel per gram of fuel Where: HCmass=hydrocarbon emissions, in grams for the mode CO2mass=carbon monoxide emissions, in grams for the mode CO2mass=carbon dioxide emissions, in grams for the mode α=The atomic hydrogen to carbon ratio of the fuel.
