Popis: A laboratory system has been developed to evaluate the photochemical characteristics of exhaust generated from alternative-fuel and new technology vehicles. This system is built around an 8-m{sup 3} photochemical chamber constructed of Teflon film. The chamber has been designed to be portable and allow both indoor and outdoor irradiations. Irradiations were conducted on vehicle-fuel combinations. The fuels include reformulated and other alternative fuels. Emissions were collected during Bag 1 of the Federal Test Procedure to ensure sufficient exhaust hydrocarbon during the irradiation. This paper describes the motivation for the experiments, details the experimental design, and the data from irradiations of the exhaust of three fuels using a single vehicle. 10 refs., 5 figs., 3 tabs.
