Sec. 86.319-79 Analyzer checks and calibrations; frequency and overview.
(a) Prior to initial use and after major repairs, bench check each
analyzer (see Sec. 86.320).
(b) At least monthly during testing, check the NOX
converter efficiency, as described in Sec. 86.332.
(c) At least once every 30 days during testing, perform the
following:
(1) Leak check the pressure side of the system (see Sec. 86.328).
If the option described in Sec. 86.328(b)(2) is used, a pressure leak
check is not required.
(2) Calibrate all analyzers (see Sec. Sec. 86.330 through 86.332).
(3) Check the analysis system response time (see Sec. 86.329). If
the option described in Sec. 86.329(b) is used, a response time check
is not required.
(4) Verify that the automatic data collection system (if used) meets
the chart reading requirements found in Sec. 86.343.
(5) Check the fuel flow measurement instrument to insure that the
specifications in Sec. 86.314 are met. Flow meters of the tapered tube
and float design (rotometers) or the balance beam principle need be
checked only every 90 days.
(d) At least once every 90 days during testing check the water
rejection ratio and the CO2 rejection ratio on all NDIR
analyzers (see Sec. Sec. 86.321 and 86.322).
(e) At least once every 180 days during testing check the
dynamometer test stand and power output instrumentation (see Sec.
86.333).
