1 PMP Comparison Study of Particle Measurement Systems Martin Mohr & Urs Lehmann EMPA Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Research and Testing Laboratory for Internal Combustion Engines and Furnaces Dübendorf, Switzerland contact: Abstract The international programme PMP under the auspices of the UNECE WP29/GRPE is focused on a new approach to the measurement of particles in vehicle exhaust emissions, which may be used to complement or to replace the existing regulated mass based measuring system. This abstract deals with a comparative study of particle instruments within the collaborative programme PMP. The objective was to gain comparable information about repeatability, linearity, detection limit, response time and correlation of about 2 particle measurement instruments. Simultaneous measurements with all instruments were carried out on a real diesel exhaust of a modern heavy-duty engine. The tests were performed on two different emission levels: downstream of a particle trap representing the technical lowest available level and a level about two third of the future emission limit (Euro 4). In a second phase an aerosol generator (CAST) was applied as an emission source to obtain engine independent results of the performance of the instruments. The group of investigated measurement systems comprises a wide range of measurement principles that apply optical, electrical and filter methods and combination of these. The instruments to quantify the particle concentration use different metrics (number, length, surface, mass).

2 MOTIVATION Demands on a future measurement method: Quantification of particle emissions on sub Euro 4 and post-trap level in a reliable way taking into account the present knowledge of health impact CONTENTS Investigated instruments Experimental set-up Results > Repeatability > Sensitivity > Detection limit > Time response > Size measurement > Absolute values > Correlations > Linearity Conclusions

11 CONCLUSIONS SENSITIVITY Number-based methods higher sensitivity than mass-based methods better distinction of post-trap & GDI emissions DETECTION LIMIT Advanced mass-based methods lower detection limit than regulated filter method REPEATABILITY Several instruments similar or better repeatability than regulated filter method Key position: volatile material Data on Reproducibility needed CORRELATION Regulated filter method poor correlation to most other instruments CALIBRATION In contrast to mass-based methods a traceable standard does not yet exist for particle number, length or surface.
