VV/VT SHED

The Evaporative Emissions Test System, Variable Volume/Variable Temperature (VV/VTS) Sealed Housing for Evaporative Determiniation (SHED), is designed for use in measuring automotive diurnal evaporative hydrocarbon (HC) emissions from non-operating test vehicles.

Evaporative Emissions Test System, VV/VT SHED is designed and constructed to confirm to the latest standards regulations and executes the test methods and procedures:

  1. U.S. EPA Evaporative Emission Regulation, 40 CFR Part 86, subpart B, 1993 & 1990 versions.
  2. California Air Resources Board’s (CARB’s) Evaporative Emission Regulations for light passenger cars, revised 20 1991 and 1996.
  3. Euro III, IV, V & VI, EEC 98/69, parts relevant to Diurnal Evaporative Emissions and Hot Soak Test.
  4. GB/T 18352.1, 1835.2
