DALOC Analyzer
DALOC Working Principle
 Theory of Operation:
 Mass-balance of Sulfur Over
Engine Control Volume
 Testing assumptions:
 Ultra-low-sulfur fuel (<3 ppm/w)
 Stock lubricant (~4,000 ppm/w)
 Stock engine
 Sampling
 Sample Conditioning:
 Add O2
 Convert sulfur-species to SO2
 Eliminate H2O
 Eliminate NO
 Detection by UVF
 Ultra-Violet excitation
 Fluorescence detection
 Data processing
