    摘要: A partial dilution exhaust sampling system has an expanded ability to simultaneously perform two different evaluations on exhaust from a power source. Beyond testing for particulate matter production, the system may simultaneously evaluate exhaust for undesirable gaseous emissions such as NOx and carbon dioxide and/or concurrently evaluate particle size and distribution in the exhaust sample. After extracting sample flow from the exhaust stream of the power source and adding diluent to the sample flow, the diluted sample flow is divided into a first portion flow and a second portion flow. Depending upon whether the additional exhaust evaluation device is in parallel with the particulate measurement gravimetric filter or in series with the filter, a dilution flow actuator and/or an exit actuator may be adjusted to account for a fraction of diluted sample flow directed to the auxiliary exhaust evaluation device.

    摘要: A partial flow dilution tunnel in a gas sampling system is connected to the exhaust from an internal combustion engine. More accurate gas sampling results are enabled for accounting for a delay from when the engine produces an exhaust change to when that transient arrives at a probe location. Thus, an estimated time delay is determined, and the gas sampling system is operated at least in part based upon that estimated time delay for the exhaust to arrive at the sampling location.

    摘要: A gas sampling device includes a dilution tunnel of particularly effective construction that reduces contamination or soiling of the ducting leading to a filter assembly and improves the accuracy of the results. The gas sampling device has a sampling probe disposable in the gas stream of an engine or the like, and a controlled source of clean and pressurized diluent air. The dilution tunnel includes an air distribution tube defining a plurality of distribution holes therethrough, a collar defining a first annular chamber about the air distribution tube that is connected to the air source, and a porous center tube having a plurality of micron-sized pores connected between the sampling probe and the filter assembly. A second annular chamber is defined between both tubes, and the diluent air supplied thereto is uniformly passed through the porous center tube to effect good mixing of the exhaust gas and diluent air while providing a boundary layer of diluent air that keeps the center tube clean. An alternate embodiment gas sampling device employing master and slave mass flow controllers is also disclosed.

    摘要: Testing of engine particulate matter production during a transient is made more accurate by selecting an appropriate sized opening for a test probe of the sampling system located in the exhaust line upstream from a particulate trap. By examining the pressure signature at the test probe location and utilizing that information in conjunction with a desired volumetric flow rate into the sampling system, a flow opening size for the test probe can be selected that reduces potential oversampling which may be otherwise induced due to the back pressure increases in the exhaust line caused by the presence of the particulate trap. The flow opening into the test probe of the sampling system behaves relative unrestricted when pressure differentials at the test probe location are relatively low, such as during steady state operating conditions, but restricts flow into the sampling system when pressure differentials are relatively high, such as at a pressure during a transient event.

    摘要: An assembly for removing aerosol from crankcase gasses being returned to an air intake manifold is generally shown at and includes a housing having a housing wall defining a top portion and a base with at least one drain. An inlet line extends through the housing wall communicating with a crankcase. An outlet line extends through the top portion for communicating with an air intake manifold. An inertial separator generally shown at is attached to the inlet line and has a screen through which the crankcase gasses pass and an impacter plate for obstructing aerosol suspended in the gasses. A sheet wound in spaced convolutions to define a spiraled path from the exterior to a central space conveys gasses from the inertial separator to the central space. A thermal interception tube located in the central space receives gasses and has a tube wall for gasses to pass therethrough and an opening at one end for egress of gasses.
