CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
PART 1065_TEST PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT--Table of Contents
Subpart B_Equipment and Analyzers
Sec. 1065.135 NOX analyzers.
This section describes the requirements for chemiluminescent
detectors (CLD) used to measure NOX. Good engineering
practice may require the use of other detectors.
(a) A CLD must meet the following requirements:
(1) Make sure your CLD meets the accuracy and precision
specifications in ISO 8178-1 (incorporated by reference in Sec.
1065.1010).
(2) The NO to NO2 converter must have an efficiency of at
least 90 percent.
(3) Use an overflow sampling system for continuous CLDs. (In an
overflow system excess zero gas or span gas spills out of the probe when
you are doing zero or span checks.)
(4) You do not need a heated CLD to test spark-ignition engines.
(b) Using CLDs is generally acceptable even though they measure only
NO and NO2, since conventional engines do not emit
significant amounts of other NOX species.
