GENERAL MOTORS MOBILE EMISSION LABORATORY

INFORMATION IS GIVEN ON THE DESIGN CRITERIA AND CONCEPT, CONSTRUCTION FEATURES OF THE TRAILER, AND A DISCUSSION OF THE INSTRUMENTATION NEEDED TO CONDUCT VEHICLE EMISSION TESTS. PRIMARY APPLICATIONS INCLUDE CUSTOMER CAR FIELD SURVEILLANCE AND ASSISTANCE TO ASSEMBLY PLANT EMISSION TESTING. THE MOBILE LABORATORY HAS A TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED AREA, ALLOWING TESTING REGARDLESS OF OUTSIDE WEATHER CONDITIONS. BOTH CONCENTRATION AND MASS EMISSION TESTING CAN BE DONE WITH SUFFICIENT FLEXIBILITY TO ADAPT TO FUTURE EMISSION STANDARDS. A CUSTOM BUILT SEMI-TRAILER WAS CHOSEN TO FULFILL THE NEEDS OF THE MOBILE LABORATORY. A DESIGN STUDY WAS UNDERTAKEN TO DETERMINE THE BEST WAY ALL THE NECESSARY COMPONENTS COULD BE PACKAGED IN A SEMI-TRAILER BODY. /HSL/
