Abstract:
The systems and methods described herein beneficially provide an exit gas having a third, relatively low, NO/NO 2  ratio that closely approximates the NO/NO 2  ratio found in the exhaust of various internal combustion engines. The systems and methods described herein receive a feed gas having a first, relatively high NO/NO 2  ratio. The feed gas is apportioned into a first feed gas portion that is passed through a non-thermal plasma generation system to provide an intermediate gas having a second, relatively very low, NO/NO 2  ratio and a second feed gas portion having the first NO/NO 2  ratio. The intermediate gas and the second feed gas portion are combined to provide the exist gas having the third, relatively low, NO/NO 2  ratio. The systems and methods described herein beneficially provide an exit gas having a variable NO/NO 2  ratio to simulate exhaust from a variety of internal combustion engines.

Claim (Index 9):
A method to generate an exit gas having a defined exit NO/NO 2  ratio, the method comprising:\n apportioning a feed gas having a first NO/NO 2  ratio into a first feed gas portion and a second feed gas portion; flowing the first feed gas portion through a non-thermal plasma generator; converting, via the non-thermal plasma generator, at least a portion of NO present in the first feed gas portion to NO 2  to provide an intermediate gas having a second NO/NO 2  ratio; selectively adjusting a flow of the second feed gas portion through a bypass around the non-thermal plasma generator; and combining the intermediate gas with the second feed gas portion to provide an exit gas having the defined exit NO/NO 2  ratio.
