This study compares NO2 measurement methods for compliance with Euro 5 or 6 standards. Test results show no significant difference between CVS-Bag method and proposed Modal method. Japan recommends further evaluation of measurement methods for precision and applicability.

NO2 Measurement Method proposed by Japan 9 ~ 10 December 2010
Current concerns on NO2 measurement Concentration for emission system comply with Euro5 or 6 Refer WLTP-DTP-02-06
Proposed method based on WLTP-DTP-02-06 <Modal Method> NO2(ppm)= CVS-Bag_NOx(ppm) – diluted exhaust NO average(ppm)
Counter Proposal by Japan Apply current measurement method (=CVS-Bag method) then, analyze NOx/NO respectively NOx/NO <CVS-Bag Method> No modal measurement of NO from diluted exhaust is necessary
NO2 reaction ratio NO2 reaction ratio is less than 2% when NO concentration in Bag is less than 4 ppm (=equivalent Euro 5 or 6 level) 3 Test results (measured by CLD) ● 2.5 *: average concentration @ CVS 12m3/min 2 Theoretical line of NO->NO2 reaction ratio D-Euro6* NO -> NO2 reaction ratio in Bag after 15 min.

Summary • Recent study in Japan indicates no significant difference between CVS-bag method and proposed method for NO2 measurement. • It’s not right timing to eliminate the currently well recognized method without knowing the applicability under the new test cycle and new test procedure. • Once new cycle and new test procedure are available, Japan will evaluate the measurement methods again from the view points of measurement precision, applicability, investment and so on, then report it to this group for final decision.
