ABSTRACT:
A vehicle-installed exhaust gas analyzing apparatus includes a nondispersive infrared (NDIR) type gas analyzer for continuously measuring concentration of hydrocarbon (HC) in an exhaust gas flowing through an exhaust pipe which is connected to an engine, an exhaust gas flowmeter for continuously measuring flow rate of the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust pipe, and an operation processing device for processing outputs from the NDIR type gas analyzer and the exhaust gas flowmeter to continuously calculate mass of total hydrocarbon (THC) contained in the exhaust gas. The components are configured so at to be installable in vehicle. THC concentration is obtained by multiplying a measurement result obtained by the NDIR type analyzer by a predetermined conversion factor.
