# 1065.670 NO intake-air humidity and temperature corrections.

See the standard-setting part to determine if you may correct NO<sub>X</sub> emissions for the effects of intake-air humidity or temperature. Use the NO<sub>X</sub> intake-air humidity and temperature corrections specified in the standard-setting part instead of the NO<sub>X</sub> intake-air humidity correction specified in this part 1065. If the standard-setting part does not prohibit correcting NO<sub>X</sub> emissions for intake-air humidity according to this part 1065, correct NO<sub>X</sub> concentrations for intake-air humidity as described in this section. See § 1065.650(c)(1) for the proper sequence for applying the NO<sub>X</sub> intake-air humidity and temperature corrections. You may use a time-weighted mean intake air humidity to calculate this correction if your intake air humidity remains within a tolerance of ±0.0025 mol/mol of the mean value over the test interval. For intake-air humidity correction, use one of the following approaches:

(a) For compression-ignition engines operating on carbon-containing fuels and lean-burn combustion engines operating on fuels other than carbon-containing fuels, correct for intake-air humidity using the following equation:

*x*<sub>NOxuncor</sub> = 700.5 µmol/mol

*x*<sub>H2O</sub> = 0.022 mol/mol

*x*<sub>NOxcor</sub> = 700.5 · (9.953 · 0.022 + 0.832)

*x*<sub>NOxcor</sub> = 736.2 µmol/mol

(b) For spark-ignition engines operating on carbon-containing fuels and stoichiometric combustion engines operating on fuels other than carbon-containing fuels, correct for intake-air humidity using the following equation:

*x*<sub>NOxuncor</sub> = 154.7 µmol/mol

*x*<sub>H2O</sub> = 0.022 mol/mol

*x*<sub>NOxcor</sub> = 154.7 · (18.840 · 0.022 + 0.68094)

*x*<sub>NOxcor</sub> = 169.5 µmol/mol

(c) Develop your own correction, based on good engineering judgment.
