Seven Pratt and Whitney Aircraft (PWA) JTBD-7A turbofan engines were tested atKennedy International Airport, New York, to evaluate exhaust emissions character-istics and data variability after overhaul. The measured data show that theengines tested did not meet the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emissionstandards. A comparison of the measured data, obtained from the seven overhauledengines evaluated under this program, with new engine data obtained from PWA showthat there is a great deal of similarity between the two sets of data. Differencesshown in this report between new engine and overhauled engine data are due to thequantity of the engines sampled; the new engine data represent a larger samplesize. Satisfactory data can be measured by using the test procedures, instrumen-tation, and equipment defined in this report.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF MERF.

The MERF trailer is a specially designed, transportable, self-contained environmentfor emission measuring equipment and personnel. The unit is approximately 8 feetwide, 21 feet long, and 12 feet high. The walls, floors, and ceilings containhigh- and low-frequency sound absorbing materials. Access to the operator's areais through two double doorways.

The calibration and operating gas bottle compartment is accessed through two singledoors in the front of the trailer. External left and right side generator hatches

allow for access to each on-board generator. The air-conditioning unit is mountedon the rear outside wall of the trailer.

Commercially available electrical power is the primary supply for the unit. Asecondary electrical supply system consists of two on-board, engine-drivengenerators which allow for complete remote site operation in areas where commercialpower is unavailable. The two engine-driven generator sets include one ONANfour-cylinder, four-cycle, air cooled, 12.5 kilowatt (kW), JC series unit; and oneONAN two-cylinder, four-cycle, air cooled, 7.5 kW, JB series unit. The powerrequirements are 220 or 208 volts V), alternating current, single phase, 40

amperes 60 hertz. Internal to external and vice-versa power switching is performedmanually. The 7.5 kW generator output feeds six circuits which are used for theanalyzers, gas dryer, and switch panel power. The 12.5-kW generator output alsofeeds six circuits which connect to high amperage devices such as the airconditioner, heated sample lines, and heated enclosures.

The MERF environmental system consists of a Westinghouse, two-ton, "Whispair" modelUBO 36 kW air-conditioning package and two Orbit 220 V electrical baseboardheaters. The air-conditioner is thermostatically controlled. The baseboardheating unit in the operator area are rated at 2 kW and also thermostaticallycontrolled. The bottle compartment heater is rated at 1 kW and has an integralthermos tat.

The emission sampling systems may be further subdivided into the sample handlingtrain, bottled gases, recorders, analyzers, smoke unit, and exhaust manifold. The

sample handling train consists of the external (to the trailer) sample line,internal high temperature electrical resistance heated lines, high-temperatureheated enclosure, gas dryer, internal low-temperature electrical resistance heatedlines, and the low-temperature heated enclosure (see figure D-).

The external sample line is a Technical Heater, carbon impregnated teflon, steelbraided, double insulated, heated line with abrasion resistant covering. Theheating element generates 60 watts (M) per lineal foot at 220 V. A built-in ANSItype J thermocouple controls and monitors the temperature. Either a 50-foot or80-foot sample line may be used. For attachment to the MERF, the sample line uses

two connectors, one for power and one for temperature monitoring and control. Astainless steel straight through quick connect is used for the tube connector.

The internal high-temperature electrical resistance heated lines are constructedusing type 304 stainless steel tubing with 0.250-inch outside diameter and

0.028-inch wall thickness. Teflon port connectors are used to insulate the tubingfrom the nonresistance heated elements of the system. Each line incorporates a

thermocouple to monitor and control the wall temperature. A temperature controller

operates a variac as the lines are electrically resistance heated. The variac

D-l

Page 46: EEEEhEhEE - Defense Technical Information Center · ad-a091 011 federal aviation administration technical center atl--etc f/6 21/5 exhaust emissions characteristics and variability

supplies a separate high-current isolation transformer which outputs approximately5 V to the tubing. Electrical connections to the tubing are made through standard316 stainless steel Swagelok unions, elbows, etc., to which a bolt has been silversoldered.

The high-temperature heated enclosure is an insulated box in which a pump, filter,valves, and strip heaters are located. The pump is a Metal Bellows, high tempera-ture, model MB-158 unit. The filter is a one-micron, removable cartridge, non-bypassing type. The sample/room air valve is a four-port ball type with an airoperator. The flame ionization detector (FID) sample valve is a two-port normallyopen solenoid operated valve. Three strip heaters of 250 W each were used to heatthe box. A door on the box allows access to the filters and other internalcomponents for inspection or servicing. A type 3 thermocouple monitors airtemperature in the box and also operates a temperature controller for the stripheaters.

The low-temperature electrical resistance heated lines are constructed similar tothe high-temperature lines; however, a variac is not used. The low-temperatureheated enclosure consists of an insulated box, a Metal Bellows model NB-158 pump,two electrical strip heaters, 1 micron scintered metal type filters, solenoidvalves and three fine metering valves. The box has removable top and sides forcomponent servicing and a terminal strip for electrical connections. The finemetering valves are used to adjust the flow to all the analyzers except theBeckman model 402. The three-way solenoid valves are used to select the spangases and the gas dryer (wet or dry) mode. The sample port position of the valvesis normally open.

The gas dryer is a Hankison, series E, compressed air dryer, model E-2 CSS. TheCO-CO2 sample may be routed through the dryer before being analyzed. Whetherthe dryer is selected or not, all bypassed sample flow is dried.

The MERF cylinder compartment contains 10 regulated cylinders for operating theanalyzers. Seven cylinders contain reference gases for interpreting instrumentresponse. The other three cylinders contain analyzer operating gases. Three ofthe reference cylinders contain mixed span gases of carbon monoxide (CO) carbondioxide (CO2), propane (C3H8 ), and Nitrogen (N2) balance. The highest concen-tration cylinder also contains oxygen (02) (table D-l). The three other referencegases are nitric oxide (NO) in various concentrations. Nitrogen is used to zeroall analyzers. In the Beckman 402 the flame is sustained by a hydrogen/heliummixture (FID fuel), and hydrocarbon free air (FID air). Oxygen is used for ozonegeneration in the Beckman 951 Hx. All gases are electrically selected from theswitch panel at the operator's station (figure D-2).

Five gas analyzers are mounted on a vibration dampened panel in the operator'sarea. The analyzers are connected through valves and tubing to the sample handlingtrain, bottled gases, and the exhaust manifold (figure D-3).

The CO2 analyzer is a Beckman model 864 nondispersive infrared unit. The CO2concentration is determined by the differential measurement of the absorption ofinfrared energy between a reference cell and the sample cell. It is ranged 0-5percent, 0-3 percent, and 0-1 percent by volume. The CO analyzer is a Beckmanmodel 865 nondispersive infrared unit. This unit is similar to the 864 except thatthe sample and reference cells are considerably longer, thereby sampling a greater

volume and increasing the sensitivity to much lower concentrations. It is ranged0-1000 parts per million (ppm), 0-400 ppm, and 0-100 ppm by volume.

The total hydrocarbon (THC) analyzer is a Beckman model 402 FID. The THC concen-tration is determined by passing a sample through a hydrogen flame in which acomplex ionization process charges polarized electrodes proportional to the rateat which carbon atoms enter the burner. For the purposes of this testing, it isranged 0-10 ppm, 0-50 ppm, 0-100 ppm, and 0-500 ppm propane by volume. The model402 is modified for linear operation at very high THC concentrations to improve itsrepeatability. Modifications to this analyzer are described in detail in refer-ence 5. A metering valve was also installed downstream of the filter to controlall flow in the analyzer from the front panel. A replacement temperature controllerand thermocouple were also installed to decrease its temperature cyclingcharacteristics.

The oxides of nitrogen NOx are measured by a Beckman model 951 Hx, atmosphericpressure, heated, chemilluminescent analyzer. The NO concentration is determinedby the reaction of nitric oxide and ozone. The light emitted is proportional tothe NO concentration. The NOx can be measured by converting nitrogen dioxide(NO2 ) to NO in a thermal converter then routing it to the reaction chamber. Theanalyzer is ranged 0-10 ppm, 0-25 ppm, 0-100 ppm, 0-250 ppm, and 0-1000 ppm byvolume.

The 02 analyzer is a Beckman model OH-1l with a polarographic sensor. An advancedsensor and amplification system combine to make this analyzer an extremely fastresponding and highly accurate instrument. The 02 concentration is determined bya polarized voltage applied between two electrodes behind a permeable membranewhich allows the diffusion of oxygen. This produces a current flow directlyproportional to the oxygen partial pressure to which the sensor is exposed. The02 pick-up head receives the sample from the outlet of the CO2 analyzer.

The emission system exhaust manifold provides a slightly lower than atmosphericpressure environment into which is routed the analyzer exhausts and the bypassedsample flow. The manifold routes the flow under the floor into the bottle compart-ment exhaust fan where dilution and discharge into the air occur.

Three Beckman model 8720-2-03, dual channel, dry stylus strip chart recorders areused to continuously monitor CO, C02 , THC, NOx, and 02 outputs. The recordersare used only as a visual assurance of stabilized emission levels prior to dataacquisition.

The MERF data acquisition system includes a H-P 9830A calculator, 9866A thermalprinter, 3495A scanner, 3490A multimeter, 9865A cassette memory, and a 9868Ainput/output expander. The analyzer outputs, ranges and gas solenoid valvepositions are electrically routed to the scanner. The data acquisition programuses this information to compute concentrations, store the data on tape, and outputhard copy for each data point taken (figure D-4).

The communications system is a David Clark model U3400 utility intercom system. Itconsists of an amplifier/power supply, junction boxes, extension cords, beltstations and headsets. Inside the MERF are connections for three belt stations/headsets. An additional connection is reserved for external hookup to the MERF,but with junction boxes and extension cords, one may place as many as 30 headsetson the line at distances of up to 2,000 feet. All headsets attenuate outside noiseup to 90 dB and are wired for 600 ohm operation.
