Purpose. The purpose of this Test Procedure is to determine the condensate expulsion performance of exhaust tuning element systems.

Foreword. Residual condensate in a tuning element may have a significant effect on its performance. Disturbing clunk or slosh noise may be a direct consequence of accumulated condensate. Accelerated corrosion of the lower tuning element wall or of tuning element internals may be the long term result.

Applicability. This test procedure is applicable to all exhaust systems. It may also be applied to other exhaust system components (e.g. exhaust gas heat recovery units). In such a case required modifications of the test set up, test conditions and test criteria shall be defined in the component's specification.
