Evaporative Emission Testing
 

ATDS can provide engineering development and certification level evaporative emissions testing for PZEV / LEVII vehicles as well as for a variety of vehicles and fuel systems. ATDS routinely conducts IUVP evaporative testing for major OEMs. Controlled by an ATDS built computer system, we are capable of testing to EPA and CARB standards

Equipment includes:

 
 
  • Webber Variable Volume Variable Temperature SHED (VVVT) capable of Federal and California Enhanced 2 and 3 day test sequences
  • PZEV (Partial Zero Emission Vehicle) Evaporative Diurnal SHED testing
  • Running Loss evaporative test cell using CARB approved point source method
  • Horiba Fixed Volume SHED for pre 1996 vehicles and motorcycles.
  • Webber ORVR (On-Board Vapor Recovery) SHED for refueling and spitback testing
  • Webber Fuel Conditioning Cart for ORVR and motorcycle evaporative testing.
  • Horiba FID with custom configurable ATDS built process controller runs both SHEDs

ATDS had the staff and experience to leverage our suite of evaporative equipment to test virtually any regulated fuel system of interest. We have recently conducted SHED testing of fuel systems for the following unique situations:

  • Fuel systems for auxillary power generators for RVs

  • Stationary source emission quantification for a manufacturer of extruded styrene foam

 
  • Measurement of evaporative emission from a gasoline electric hybrid city transit bus for the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The subject vehicle was too large to test in any known SHED, so ATDS designed and built a surrogate chassis and fuel system for testing purposes in our standard size SHED.

  • CARB TP902 evaporative emissions testing for 2008 and later off road recreational vehicles and power equipment. Thermal cycling, pressure cycling, slosh stabilization services available.

  • Evaporative canister purge strategy development and in use canister performance studies
