Optical Beam

IR filament source and UV light source are combined and positioned so as to appear at the focus of the source mirror. Result is a collimated (nearly parallel rays) exit light beam.Transfer mirror offsets the beam and returns it to the receiver optical section of SDM.Receiver mirror collects and focuses the received light.UV light is split out via a dichroic mirror and distributed to aspectrometer via fiber optic cable for NO and SF measurements.IR light is sent to a rotating (12,000 RPM) spinning mirror scanner assembly which distributes light to individual IR detectors for CO, CO2, REF, and HC detection. Scanner produced 2400 light pulses/second at each detector.Thermoelectrically cooled detectors (~-5 degree C) produce stable, highly sensitive, low noise electrical signal outputs.

Signal Conditioning/Firmware

Each detector output is AC-coupled via a preamplifier.Discrete gain selection (0.5, 1, 2, 4, or 8).Q=10 band-pass filter produces sine waves at carrier frequency of 2400 Hz. Gas information is represented by the amplitude modulation of the carrier.Sine waves are then rectified.A synchronous integrator provides an average over 24 sine wave periods to produce a result that is sampled by a 16-bit A/D converter every 10-milliseconds (100 samples/second).IR gas channel voltages (CO,CO2, and HC) are ratioed to the REF channel to provide a signal proportional to gas transmittance (ratio of emitted light to received light).

Page 8: India Telephone Seminar - ESP Global

Gas Measurement Processing

Curves of gas transmittance versus gas amount (number of molecules/unit beam cross-section) are stored in the SDM.Measured transmittances are converted to gas amounts.Gas amount measurements (ambient gas readings) at front of the vehicle are recorded for CO, CO2, and HC.50-samples of information are recorded at the rear of the vehicle.Amount of gas attributable to the vehicle is found by subtracting the ambient value from each of the 50 samples.

Gas Measurement Processing continued

Aggregate gas ratios (a single value for the possible 50 point sets) are calculated for CO/CO2, HC/CO2, and NO/CO2. The aggregate values are least squares linear regression fits of thegas value array with respect to the CO2 array. E.g. CO array versus CO2 array. For the aggregate slope calculations we reject data points immediately before and after beam blocks/unblocks, and where the sum of the gas amounts are below a threshold.We consider a gas measurement “valid” if there are at least 5-points available in the slope calculation – “invalid” otherwise.

ASSUMPTIONS that impact determination of C1, C2, C3, and C41. The measured gases are the results of combustion and only combustion gases.2. The fuel hydrogen to carbon ratio is known.3. The oxidizer is air.

Gas Measurement Processing continued

We also report “stoichiometric” (meaning the concentration that would be measured by a tail pipe probe if there were no excess air in the exhaust beyond what is needed for combustion) gas concentrations. These gas concentrations are the result of combustion chemistry where the basic assumptions are that the aggregate carbon to hydrogen content of the fuel is known and that air is the oxidizer in the combustion process.

Proof from Roadside Pullovers

Using a single remote sensor to pull over on-road high emitters, BAR found 83%-88% ASM failure rates on CO or HC or NO depending on the remote sensing cut point chosen.

At a 10,000 vehicle per day site, a very high cut point (top 1%)will fail 100 vehicles per day!

California Bureau of Automotive Repair, “Remote Sensing Device high emitter identification with confirmatory roadside inspection” Final Report 2001-06.

A few broken vehicles cause most of the emissions.

RSD is ideal for emissions inventory and to identify broken vehicles

Repeatability

Low emitters with good air/fuel ratio control have very repeatable emissions regardless of the test method.High emitters with poor air/fuel ratio control have very erratic emissions regardless of the test method."Motor Vehicle Emissions Variability", G.A. Bishop, D.H. Stedman, L. Ashbaugh, J. Air Waste Manage. Assoc., 46:667-675, 1996.

Hit rates

Exact validity criteria for University of Denver data see CRC reports on our web site www.feat.biochem.du.eduHit-rate depends upon the exhaust plume magnitude (vehicle load, speed and engine size and measurement site) and software conservatism. With good sites we routinely observe a hit rate >96% on automobiles.With the folded optical beam system we observe >95% hit rate for 95 cc motorcycles.

Improvements Necessary for Improved 2-wheeler measurement

Presented by Gary Full

Page 44: India Telephone Seminar - ESP Global

44

1. Traffic Diversion

2-wheeler and 3-wheeler traffic must be diverted to a single file lane in which measurement equipment can be deployed.

Page 45: India Telephone Seminar - ESP Global

45

2. Equipment Modification

Present technology equipment must be operable for measurements for path lengths of 3 to 5 meters.Present equipment is calibrated for measurement path lengths of 5 to 10 meters.

Page 46: India Telephone Seminar - ESP Global

46

3. Loading Mechanism

Suggest that a portable ramp be deployed at the measurement station. 0.3 meter rise over a 3-meter length. Similar ramp down.

Page 47: India Telephone Seminar - ESP Global

47

4. Multiple Analyzers

Two analyzers may be required deployed at two different heights to assure plume intersection with measurement beams.
