Heavy-Duty Engines Analysis, Study 2: Analysis of Emission Regulations and Test Procedures for the Gas Turbine Engine

摘要

There is considerable interest in heavy-duty gas turbines (HDGT) suitable for use in trucks and buses because of their potential for reduced maintenance, improved fuel economy, better overall reliability, and cleaner exhaust emissions relative to existing (gasoline and diesel) heavy-duty engines. This analysis focuses on the application of current and expected emissions measurement techniques to heavy-duty gas turbines. The purposes of this report are to: identify emission requirements for heavy-duty engines applicable during and after completion of the DOE demonstration program, i.e. 1985; provide an understanding of current steady-state test procedures and applicability to the HDGT; describe the development and methodology of the test procedures and sampling techniques to measuring emissions from the HDGT; and assess the limitations and problems of current sampling techniques for regulated pollutants and identify promising methods of sampling that are applicable to the HDGT. This information should serve as a comprehensive guide to emissions testing requirements and test procedures for the HDGT. (ERA citation 06:032205)
