Chapter 5.12.4 Calculation of the emission mass flow rates

Chapter 5.12.4.1 reads as follows:

The emission mass flow rates for each mode shall be calculated as follows (for the raw exhaust gas):

	Gas mass = u · conc · G _EXHW	(15)
or
	Gas mass = v · conc · V _EXHD	(16)
or
	Gas mass = w · conc · V _EXHW	(17)

Interpretation:

For application of this section it should be interpreted that for equations (15) and (17) the term "conc" applies to the averaged gas concentrations, as determined in accordance with 5.11, measured or corrected in accordance with 5.12.2 (conc, dry/K_w,r) to a wet basis and (in the case of NO_x) multiplied by the K_HDIES correction factor for humidity and temperature in accordance with 5.12.3.

For equation (16) the term "conc" applies to the averaged gas concentrations, as determined in accordance with 5.11, measured or corrected in accordance with 5.12.2 (conc, wet · K_w,r) to a dry basis and (in the case of NO_x) multiplied by the K_HDIES correction factor for humidity and temperature in accordance with 5.12.3.
