Impact/Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the FTIR could be useful in better understanding the conditions under which N2O was emitted from the tailpipe. The study was designed to see whether there was correlation of the CO2 and NOx emissions as measured by CEMs and measured by the FTIR as well as the mode shapes of the real time data
Description:
This pilot project was designed to confirm that an FTIR could generate useful real-time data for non-regulated tailpipe emissions of concern to the EPA. This ability to generate useful modal data could be demonstrated if the mode shapes of regulated emissions measured by reference methods corroborated the mode shapes generated by the FTIR. For this purpose comparisons were to be made to CO2 and NOx.
