ANNEX IIIVERIFYING AVERAGE EXHAUST EMISSIONS AT AMBIENT CONDITIONS
(TYPE 1 TEST)
3.TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
3.9.
An addition to the requirements of Paragraph 1.3. of Appendix 8 to Annex 4, the following requirements shall apply:
Non-methane hydrocarbon concentration is calculated as follows:
CNMHC = CTHC — (Rf CH4 × CCH4)
where:
- CNMHC
corrected concentration of NMHC in the diluted exhaust gas, expressed in ppm carbon equivalent,
- CTHC
concentration of THC in the diluted exhaust gas, expressed in ppm carbon equivalent and corrected by the amount of THC contained in the dilution air,
- CCH4
concentration of CH4 in the diluted exhaust gas, expressed in ppm carbon equivalent and corrected by the amount of CH4 contained in the dilution air,
- Rf CH4
is the FID response factor to methane as defined in paragraph 2.3 of Annex 4-Appendix 6.
