Subpart G_Data Analysis and Calculations
Sec. 1065.615 Bag sample calculations.
(a) Calculate the dilution factor. The dilution factor is the ratio
of the total volume of the raw exhaust to the total volume of the
diluted exhaust. It is calculated as 134,000 divided by the sum of the
diluted ppmC concentrations of carbon-containing compounds in the
exhaust, as follows:
DF = 134,000/
(CO2sample+THCsample+COsample),
Where:
CO2sample and COsample are expressed as ppm, and
THCsample is expressed as ppmC.
(b) Calculate mass emission rates (g/test) for the transient segment
using the general equation in paragraph (b)(1) of this section:
(1) The general equation is:
Emission rate = (total dilute exhaust flow volume)(ppm)(density factor)/
10\6\
Mx = (Vmix)(Ci)(fdi)/10\6\
Where:
Mx = Mass emission rate in g/test segment.
[[Page 673]]
Vmix = Total dilute exhaust flow volume flow in m\3\ per test
segment corrected to 20[deg]C and 101.3 kPa.
Ci = The concentration of species i, in ppm or ppmC,
corrected for background contribution according to the equation in
paragraph (b)(2) of this section.
fdi = The density factor for species i. The density factors
are 576.8 g/m\3\ for THC, 1913 g/m\3\ for NOX, and 1164 g/
m\3\ for CO.
(2) The equation to calculate Ci is:
Ci = Csample-Cbackground [1--(1/DF)]
Where:
Csample = Concentration of species i in the diluted exhaust
sample, in ppm or ppmC.
Cbackground = Concentration of species i in the dilution air
background sample, in ppm or ppmC.
DF = Dilution factor, as calculated in paragraph (a) of this section.
(c) Calculate total brake work (kW-hr) done during the emissions
sampling period of each segment or mode.
(d) Calculate emissions in g/kW-hr by dividing the mass emission
rate (g/test segment) by the total brake work for the test segment.
(e) Apply deterioration factors or other adjustment factors to the
brake-specific emission rate in paragraph (e) as specified in the
standard-setting part.
Effective Date Note: At 69 FR 39262, June 29, 2004, Sec. 1065.615
was amended by revising paragraphs (c), (d) and (e), effective Aug. 30,
2004. For the convenience of the user, the revised text is set forth as

(c) Calculate total brake work (kW-hr) done during the emissions
sampling period of each segment or mode and then weight it by the
applicable test cycle weighting factors.
(d) Calculate emissions in g/kW-hr by dividing the total weighted
mass emission rate (g/test) by the total cycle-weighted brake work for
the test.
(e) Apply deterioration factors or other adjustment factors to the
brake-specific emission rate in paragraph (d) of this section, as
specified in the standard-setting part.
