The present application relates to the technical field of
automobile emission detection, and particularly relates to a
hydrocarbon mass testing method and a
methanol fuel automobile carbon canister emission testing method. The present application connects the atmospheric port of the carbon canister to a micro
closed chamber, continuously measures the total
hydrocarbon in the
closed chamber using FID, and synchronously measures the
methanol concentration in the same gas using FTIR. Based on the measurement results of FID and FTIR, the
signal separation of non-
methanol hydrocarbons and methanol is realized, the problem that the FID response is inaccurate and the
alcohol and
hydrocarbon emissions cannot be distinguished in the prior art is solved, and the accuracy and reliability of the
methanol fuel automobile
evaporation pollutant emission testing are improved.
