Original Abstract Submitted
A device and method for correcting emissions can include a first sensor that measures a sample of air not containing an exhaust gas, and a second sensor, wherein the exhaust gas enters a settling chamber and a relative humidity of the exhaust gas is measured by the second sensor. A microcomputer can calculate a mass of water vapor in the sample of air measured by the first sensor and in the exhaust gas measured by the second sensor and can determine a dilution factor of the measured exhaust gas. The dilution factor can be used for correcting emissions based on the measurements of the exhaust gas made by the first sensor and the second sensor. The first and second sensors can comprise one or more of, for example, a relative humidity sensor, a dew point sensor, a trace water vapor sensor and/or other types of sensors.
