Abstract
The Test and Evaluation Branch of the Emission Control Technology Division has completed an in-house program to determine the effects of oven and sample line temperature of a Flame Ionization Detector (FID) on the measurement of hydrocarbon (HC) emissions from light duty Diesel vehicles (Report No. 73-26). Since significantly different results were found when measuring hydrocarbon emissions from Diesel engines using a heated FID as compared to the CVS (Constant Volume Sampler) 3-bag method, it was felt that a similar study should be made for light duty gasoline engines.
