View of a Diesel Particulate Filter in a metal Can &amp; a gasoline catalyst placed in an oven for being heated. The oven is used to artificially simulate catalyst aging in a short period of time by heating it to extreme temperature (over 900&deg;C), Lummen Belgium (4shots)

Oven temperature, Temperature measured inside the oven during rapid aging, Lummen Belgium.

Opening of the oven and cooling of the parts. Lummen Belgium (6 shots)

Catalytic converter in the engine compartment. Lummen Belgium ( 2 shots)

Car in the soak area. The car needs to be placed in a room at ambient temperature and humidity conditions for at least 6 Hours before going for an emissions testing. The car is moved to be placed on the roller bench without cranking the engine to ensure a cold start for emissions testing. (4 shots)

Preparation of the car for the emission test. Lummen Belgium (8 shots)

CO2 emission test; Monitor driving target driving cycle trace versus actual one followed by the driver. Gear shift are clearly marked to help the driver being prepared. Lummen Belgium (15 shots)

Exhaust system tailpipe connected to a hose to collect gases towards the measurement system.The gases extracted from tailpipe flow through the different components of the measurement chain (dilution tunnel where raw gases are diluted with air) Lummen Belgium ( 5 shots)

Emission analysis system and end of the emission test. Lummen Belgium ( 6 shots)
