NO X intake-air humidity correction.

You may correct NO X emissions for intake-air humidity as described in this section if the standard-setting part allows it. See § 1066.605(c) for the proper sequence for applying the NO X intake-air humidity correction. (a) For vehicles at or below 14,000 pounds GVWR, apply a correction for vehicles with reciprocating engines operating over specific test cycles as follows: (1) Calculate a humidity correction using a time-weighted mean value for ambient humidity over the test interval. Calculate absolute ambient humidity, H , using the following equation: Where: M H2O = molar mass of H 2 O. p d = saturated vapor pressure at the ambient dry bulb temperature. RH = relative humidity of ambient air M air = molar mass of air. p atmos = atmospheric pressure. Example: M H2O = 18.01528 g/mol p d = 2.93 kPa RH = 37.5% = 0.375 M air = 28.96559 g/mol p atmos = 96.71 kPa (2) Use the following equation to correct measured concentrations to a reference condition of 10.71 grams H 2 O vapor per kilogram of dry air for the FTP, US06, LA-92, SC03, and HFET test cycles: Where: χ NOx = measured NO X emission concentration in the sample, after dry-to-wet and background corrections. H s = humidity scale. Set = 1 for FTP, US06, LA-92, and HFET test cycles. Set = 0.8825 for the SC03 test cycle. H = ambient humidity, as determined in paragraph (a)(1) of this section. Example: H = 7.14741 g H 2 O vapor/kg dry air time weighted over the FTP test cycle χ NOx = 1.21 ppm (b) For vehicles above 14,000 pounds GVWR, apply correction factors as described in 40 CFR 1065.670.
