1. Novel Sampling Techniques for Measurement of Turbine Engine Total Particulate Matter Emissions Office of Research and Development National Risk Management Research Laboratory February 21, 2014 John Kinsey, Air Pollution Prevention and Control Division, Research Triangle Park, NC Progress Report for ESTCP Programmatic Review

2. Phase 1 Program Objectives 1 Evaluate two devices (dilution chamber and condensation dilution probe) that promote condensation of volatile particulate matter (PM) for a continuous sample taken at the engine exit Compare PM characteristics for condensation devices to those observed by downstream plume sampling (~ 30:1 dilution ratio) Compare PM characteristics for three fuel types used in a T-63 turbo-shaft engine at idle and cruise power: – Base JP-8 – High Sulfur JP-8 – High Aromatic JP-8

4. EPA Measurements Continuous emission monitoring of gaseous SO 2, CO 2, and total hydrocarbons (THC) as methane Organic/elemental carbon (OC/EC) content of PM using Sunset Model 3 Semi-Continuous Analyzer Time-integrated Teflon filter sampling conducted for total PM by gravimetric analysis and sulfate content by ion chromatography Black carbon (BC) in plume using EPA Multi-Angle Absorption Photometer (SuperMAAP) instrument
