Sec.  1065.272  Nondispersive ultraviolet analyzer.



    (a) Application. You may use a nondispersive ultraviolet (NDUV) 

analyzer to measure NOX concentration in raw or diluted 

exhaust for batch or continuous sampling. We generally accept an NDUV 

for NOX measurement, even though it measures only NO and 

NO2, since conventional engines and aftertreatment systems do 

not emit significant amounts of other NOX species. Measure 

other NOX species if required by the standard-setting part.

    (b) Component requirements. We recommend that you use an NDUV 

analyzer that meets the specifications in Table 1 of Sec.  1065.205. 

Note that your NDUV-based system must meet the verifications in Sec.  

1065.372 and it must also meet the linearity verification in Sec.  

1065.307. You may use a NDUV analyzer that has compensation algorithms 

that are functions of other gaseous measurements and the engine's known 

or assumed fuel properties. The target value for any compensation 

algorithm is 0.0% (that is, no bias high and no bias low), regardless of 

the uncompensated signal's bias.

    (c) NO2-to-NO converter. If your NDUV analyzer measures only NO, 

place upstream of the NDUV analyzer an internal or external 

NO2-to-NO converter that meets the verification in Sec.  

1065.378. Configure the converter with a bypass to facilitate this 

verification.

    (d) Humidity effects. You must maintain NDUV temperature to prevent

aqueous condensation, unless you use one of the following 

configurations:

    (1) Connect an NDUV downstream of any dryer or chiller that is 

downstream of an NO2-to-NO converter that meets the 

verification in Sec.  1065.378.

    (2) Connect an NDUV downstream of any dryer or thermal chiller that 

meets the verification in Sec.  1065.376.
