6.0  CALCULATING MOLY CONVERTER EFFICIENCIES 
 
6.1  P
URPOSE
 
To provide instructions on how to calculate the efficiency of a Moly 
converter when using a GPT method of testing converters, by using the 
US EPA method, where the actual concentration of ozone is not a factor in 
the accuracy of the calculation of the converter efficiency.  This procedure 
is based on the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Chapter I, 
subchapter C, Part 50, Appendix F.

For the purpose of providing an example, this procedure uses 450 PPB NO 
gas as the reference point, you don’t have to pick these values, they are 
just an example.  There is also an assumption that the analyzer has a good 
calibration done @ 450 PPB NO span gas.  If this is not the case, then 
once you have finished the leak check on the analyzer, input your 450 PPB 
NO span gas and calibrate the analyzer.   
Note 
For the GPT to be performed correctly, there must be a minimum of 
10% more
 NO than O
3
 produced.  For example, if the Ozone produced 
is 400 PPB then the NO used must be 440 PPB or more.  Typically 450 
PPB NO is titrated against 400 PPB of Ozone
1.  Leak check machine to ensure that there are no leaks in the analyzer.   
2.  For the duration of this test, set the CE factor to 1.0000 (100%) in the 
instrument firmware (this would be in the CAL-CONC-CONV-SET 
menu).
