3.1.   Definitions

For the purpose of this Regulation,

3.1.1.   “continuous regeneration” means the regeneration process of an exhaust after-treatment system that occurs either permanently or at least once per WHTC hot start test. Such a regeneration process will not require a special test procedure.

3.1.2.   “delay time” means the difference in time between the change of the component to be measured at the reference point and a system response of 10 per cent of the final reading (t10) with the sampling probe being defined as the reference point. For the gaseous components, this is the transport time of the measured component from the sampling probe to the detector.

3.1.3.   “deNOx system” means an exhaust after-treatment system designed to reduce emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) (e.g. passive and active lean NOx catalysts, NOx adsorbers and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems).

3.1.4.   “diesel engine” means an engine which works on the compression-ignition principle.

3.1.5.   “drift” means the difference between the zero or span responses of the measurement instrument after and before an emissions test.

3.1.6.   “engine family” means a manufacturers grouping of engines which, through their design as defined in paragraph 5.2 of this Annex, have similar exhaust emission characteristics; all members of the family shall comply with the applicable emission limit values.

3.1.9.   “exhaust after-treatment system” means a catalyst (oxidation or 3-way), particulate filter, deNOx system, combined deNOx particulate filter or any other emission-reducing device that is installed downstream of the engine. This definition excludes exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), which is considered an integral part of the engine.

3.1.18.   “parent engine” means an engine selected from an engine family in such a way that its emissions characteristics are representative for that engine family.

3.1.19.   “particulate after-treatment device” means an exhaust after-treatment system designed to reduce emissions of particulate pollutants (PM) through a mechanical, aerodynamic, diffusional or inertial separation.

3.1.20.   “partial flow dilution method” means the process of separating a part from the total exhaust flow, then mixing it with an appropriate amount of diluent prior to the particulate sampling filter.

3.1.21.   “particulate matter (PM)” means any material collected on a specified filter medium after diluting exhaust with a clean filtered diluent to a temperature between 315 K (42 °C) and 325 K (52 °C); this is primarily carbon, condensed hydrocarbons, and sulphates with associated water.

4.   GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

The engine system shall be so designed, constructed and assembled as to enable the engine in normal use to comply with the provisions of this Annex during its useful life, as defined in this Regulation, including when installed in the vehicle.

5.   PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

5.1.   Emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants

The emissions of gaseous and particulate pollutants by the engine shall be determined on the WHTC and WHSC test cycles, as described in paragraph 7. The measurement systems shall meet the linearity requirements in paragraph 9.2 and the specifications in paragraph 9.3 (gaseous emissions measurement), paragraph 9.4 (particulate measurement) and in Appendix 3.

Other systems or analysers may be approved by the type approval authority, if it is found that they yield equivalent results in accordance with paragraph 5.1.1.

5.1.1.   Equivalency

The determination of system equivalency shall be based on a seven-sample pair (or larger) correlation study between the system under consideration and one of the systems of this Annex.

“Results” refer to the specific cycle weighted emissions value. The correlation testing is to be performed at the same laboratory, test cell, and on the same engine, and is preferred to be run concurrently. The equivalency of the sample pair averages shall be determined by F-test and t-test statistics as described in Appendix 4, paragraph A.4.3, obtained under the laboratory test cell and the engine conditions described above. Outliers shall be determined in accordance with ISO 5725 and excluded from the database. The systems to be used for correlation testing shall be subject to the approval by the type approval authority.

5.2.   Engine family

5.2.1.   General

An engine family is characterised by design parameters. These shall be common to all engines within the family. The engine manufacturer may decide which engines belong to an engine family, as long as the membership criteria listed in paragraph 5.2.3 are respected. The engine family shall be approved by the type approval authority. The manufacturer shall provide to the type approval authority the appropriate information relating to the emission levels of the members of the engine family.

5.2.2.   Special cases

In some cases there may be interaction between parameters. This shall be taken into consideration to ensure that only engines with similar exhaust emission characteristics are included within the same engine family. These cases shall be identified by the manufacturer and notified to the type approval authority. It shall then be taken into account as a criterion for creating a new engine family.

In case of devices or features, which are not listed in paragraph 5.2.3 and which have a strong influence on the level of emissions, this equipment shall be identified by the manufacturer on the basis of good engineering practice, and shall be notified to the type approval authority. It shall then be taken into account as a criterion for creating a new engine family.

In addition to the parameters listed in paragraph 5.2.3, the manufacturer may introduce additional criteria allowing the definition of families of more restricted size. These parameters are not necessarily parameters that have an influence on the level of emissions.

In order for engines with a unit cylinder displacement of < 0,75 dm3 to be considered to belong to the same engine family, the spread of their individual cylinder displacements shall not exceed 30 per cent of the largest individual cylinder displacement within the family.

5.2.3.4.3.   Engine with other unit cylinder displacement limits

Engines with an individual cylinder displacement that exceeds the limits defined in paragraphs 5.2.3.4.1 and 5.2.3.4.2 may be considered to belong to the same family with the approval of the type approval authority.

5.2.3.12.   Electronic control strategy

The presence or absence of an electronic control unit (ECU) on the engine is regarded as a basic parameter of the family.

In the case of electronically controlled engines, the manufacturer shall present the technical elements explaining the grouping of these engines in the same family, i.e. the reasons why these engines can be expected to satisfy the same emission requirements.

These elements can be calculations, simulations, estimations, description of injection parameters, experimental results, etc.

Examples of controlled features are:

Multiple injections

(d)

Boost pressure

(e)

5.2.3.13.   Exhaust after-treatment systems

The function and combination of the following devices are regarded as membership criteria for an engine family:

DeNOx system with selective reduction of NOx (addition of reducing agent)

(d)

Other DeNOx systems

(e)

Particulate trap with passive regeneration

(f)

Particulate trap with active regeneration

(g)

Other particulate traps

(h)

Other devices

When an engine has been certified without after-treatment system, whether as parent engine or as member of the family, then this engine, when equipped with an oxidation catalyst, may be included in the same engine family, if it does not require different fuel characteristics.

If it requires specific fuel characteristics (e.g. particulate traps requiring special additives in the fuel to ensure the regeneration process), the decision to include it in the same family shall be based on technical elements provided by the manufacturer. These elements shall indicate that the expected emission level of the equipped engine complies with the same limit value as the non-equipped engine.

When an engine has been certified with after-treatment system, whether as parent engine or as member of a family, whose parent engine is equipped with the same after-treatment system, then this engine, when equipped without after-treatment system, shall not be added to the same engine family.

5.2.4.   Choice of the parent engine

5.2.4.1.   Compression ignition engines

Once the engine family has been agreed by the type approval authority, the parent engine of the family shall be selected using the primary criterion of the highest fuel delivery per stroke at the declared maximum torque speed. In the event that two or more engines share this primary criterion, the parent engine shall be selected using the secondary criterion of highest fuel delivery per stroke at rated speed.

5.2.4.2.   Positive ignition engines

Once the engine family has been agreed by the type approval authority, the parent engine of the family shall be selected using the primary criterion of the largest displacement. In the event that two or more engines share this primary criterion, the parent engine shall be selected using the secondary criterion in the following order of priority:

(a)

the highest fuel delivery per stroke at the speed of declared rated power;

(b)

the most advanced spark timing;

(c)

the lowest EGR rate.

5.2.4.3.   Remarks on the choice of the parent engine

The type approval authority may conclude that the worst-case emission of the family can best be characterised by testing additional engines. In this case, the engine manufacturer shall submit the appropriate information to determine the engines within the family likely to have the highest emissions level.

If engines within the family incorporate other features which may be considered to affect exhaust emissions, these features shall also be identified and taken into account in the selection of the parent engine.

If engines within the family meet the same emission values over different useful life periods, this shall be taken into account in the selection of the parent engine.

6.   TEST CONDITIONS

6.1.   Laboratory test conditions

The absolute temperature (T a) of the engine intake air expressed in Kelvin, and the dry atmospheric pressure (p s), expressed in kPa shall be measured and the parameter f a shall be determined according to the following provisions. In multi-cylinder engines having distinct groups of intake manifolds, such as in a “Vee” engine configuration, the average temperature of the distinct groups shall be taken. The parameter f a shall be reported with the test results. For better repeatability and reproducibility of the test results, it is recommended that the parameter f a be such that: 0,93 ≤ f a ≤ 1,07.

(a)

Compression-ignition engines:

Naturally aspirated and mechanically supercharged engines:

Formula (1)

Turbocharged engines with or without cooling of the intake air:

Formula (2)

(b)

Positive ignition engines:

Formula (3)

6.2.   Engines with charge air-cooling

The charge air temperature shall be recorded and shall be, at the rated speed and full load, within ± 5 K of the maximum charge air temperature specified by the manufacturer. The temperature of the cooling medium shall be at least 293 K (20 °C).

If a test laboratory system or external blower is used, the coolant flow rate shall be set to achieve a charge air temperature within ± 5 K of the maximum charge air temperature specified by the manufacturer at the rated speed and full load. Coolant temperature and coolant flow rate of the charge air cooler at the above set point shall not be changed for the whole test cycle, unless this results in unrepresentative overcooling of the charge air. The charge air cooler volume shall be based upon good engineering practice and shall be representative of the production engine's in-use installation. The laboratory system shall be designed to minimise accumulation of condensate. Any accumulated condensate shall be drained and all drains shall be completely closed before emission testing.

If the engine manufacturer specifies pressure-drop limits across the charge-air cooling system, it shall be ensured that the pressure drop across the charge-air cooling system at engine conditions specified by the manufacturer is within the manufacturer's specified limit(s). The pressure drop shall be measured at the manufacturer's specified locations.

6.3.   Engine power

The basis of specific emissions measurement is engine power and cycle work as determined in accordance with paragraphs 6.3.1 to 6.3.5.

6.3.1.   General engine installation

The engine shall be tested with the auxiliaries/equipment listed in Appendix 7.

If auxiliaries/equipment are not installed as required, their power shall be taken into account in accordance with paragraphs 6.3.2 to 6.3.5.

6.3.2.   Auxiliaries/equipment to be fitted for the emissions test

If it is inappropriate to install the auxiliaries/equipment required according to Appendix 7 on the test bench, the power absorbed by them shall be determined and subtracted from the measured engine power (reference and actual) over the whole engine speed range of the WHTC and over the test speeds of the WHSC.

6.3.3.   Auxiliaries/equipment to be removed for the test

Where the auxiliaries/equipment not required according to Appendix 7 cannot be removed, the power absorbed by them may be determined and added to the measured engine power (reference and actual) over the whole engine speed range of the WHTC and over the test speeds of the WHSC. If this value is greater than 3 per cent of the maximum power at the test speed it shall be demonstrated to the type approval authority.

6.3.4.   Determination of auxiliary power

The power absorbed by the auxiliaries/equipment needs only be determined, if

(a)

auxiliaries/equipment required according to Appendix 7, are not fitted to the engine

and/or

(b)

auxiliaries/equipment not required according to Appendix 7, are fitted to the engine.

The values of auxiliary power and the measurement/calculation method for determining auxiliary power shall be submitted by the engine manufacturer for the whole operating area of the test cycles, and approved by the type approval authority.

6.3.5.   Engine cycle work

The calculation of reference and actual cycle work (see paragraphs 7.4.8 and 7.8.6) shall be based upon engine power according to paragraph 6.3.1. In this case, P f and P r of equation 4 are zero, and P equals P m.

If auxiliaries/equipment are installed according to paragraphs 6.3.2 and/or 6.3.3, the power absorbed by them shall be used to correct each instantaneous cycle power value P m,i, as follows:

Formula (4)

where:

P m,i

is the measured engine power, kW

P f,i

is the power absorbed by auxiliaries/equipment to be fitted, kW

P r,i

is the power absorbed by auxiliaries/equipment to be removed, kW

6.4.   Engine air intake system

An engine air intake system or a test laboratory system shall be used presenting an air intake restriction within ± 300 Pa of the maximum value specified by the manufacturer for a clean air cleaner at the rated speed and full load. The static differential pressure of the restriction shall be measured at the location specified by the manufacturer.

6.5.   Engine exhaust system

An engine exhaust system or a test laboratory system shall be used presenting an exhaust backpressure within 80 to 100 per cent of the maximum value specified by the manufacturer at the rated speed and full load. If the maximum restriction is 5 kPa or less, the set point shall be no less than 1,0 kPa from the maximum. The exhaust system shall conform to the requirements for exhaust gas sampling, as set out in paragraphs 9.3.10 and 9.3.11.

6.6.   Engine with exhaust after-treatment system

If the engine is equipped with an exhaust after-treatment system, the exhaust pipe shall have the same diameter as found in-use, or as specified by the manufacturer, for at least four pipe diameters upstream of the expansion section containing the after-treatment device. The distance from the exhaust manifold flange or turbocharger outlet to the exhaust after-treatment system shall be the same as in the vehicle configuration or within the distance specifications of the manufacturer. The exhaust backpressure or restriction shall follow the same criteria as above, and may be set with a valve. For variable-restriction after-treatment devices, the maximum exhaust restriction is defined at the after-treatment condition (de-greening/aging and regeneration/loading level) specified by the manufacturer. If the maximum restriction is 5 kPa or less, the set point shall be no less than 1,0 kPa from the maximum. The after-treatment container may be removed during dummy tests and during engine mapping, and replaced with an equivalent container having an inactive catalyst support.

The emissions measured on the test cycle shall be representative of the emissions in the field. In the case of an engine equipped with a exhaust after-treatment system that requires the consumption of a reagent, the reagent used for all tests shall be declared by the manufacturer.

Engines equipped with exhaust after-treatment systems with continuous regeneration do not require a special test procedure, but the regeneration process needs to be demonstrated according to paragraph 6.6.1.

For engines equipped with exhaust after-treatment systems that are regenerated on a periodic basis, as described in paragraph 6.6.2, emission results shall be adjusted to account for regeneration events. In this case, the average emission depends on the frequency of the regeneration event in terms of fraction of tests during which the regeneration occurs.

6.6.1.   Continuous regeneration

The emissions shall be measured on an after-treatment system that has been stabilised so as to result in repeatable emissions behaviour. The regeneration process shall occur at least once during the WHTC hot start test and the manufacturer shall declare the normal conditions under which regeneration occurs (soot load, temperature, exhaust back-pressure, etc.).

In order to demonstrate that the regeneration process is continuous, at least three WHTC hot start tests shall be conducted. For the purpose of this demonstration, the engine shall be warmed up in accordance with paragraph 7.4.1, the engine be soaked according to paragraph 7.6.3 and the first WHTC hot start test be run. The subsequent hot start tests shall be started after soaking according to paragraph 7.6.3. During the tests, exhaust temperatures and pressures shall be recorded (temperature before and after the after-treatment system, exhaust back pressure, etc.).

If the conditions declared by the manufacturer occur during the tests and the results of the three (or more) WHTC hot start tests do not scatter by more than ± 25 per cent or 0,005 g/kWh, whichever is greater, the after-treatment system is considered to be of the continuous regeneration type, and the general test provisions of paragraph 7.6 (WHTC) and paragraph 7.7 (WHSC) apply.

If the exhaust after-treatment system has a security mode that shifts to a periodic regeneration mode, it shall be checked according to paragraph 6.6.2. For that specific case, the applicable emission limits may be exceeded and would not be weighted.

6.6.2.   Periodic regeneration

For an exhaust after-treatment based on a periodic regeneration process, the emissions shall be measured on at least three WHTC hot start tests, one with and two without a regeneration event on a stabilised after-treatment system, and the results be weighted in accordance with equation 5.

The regeneration process shall occur at least once during the WHTC hot start test. The engine may be equipped with a switch capable of preventing or permitting the regeneration process provided this operation has no effect on the original engine calibration.

The manufacturer shall declare the normal parameter conditions under which the regeneration process occurs (soot load, temperature, exhaust back-pressure, etc.) and its duration. The manufacturer shall also provide the frequency of the regeneration event in terms of number of tests during which the regeneration occurs compared to number of tests without regeneration. The exact procedure to determine this frequency shall be based upon in use data using good engineering judgement, and shall be agreed by the type approval or certification authority.

The manufacturer shall provide an after-treatment system that has been loaded in order to achieve regeneration during a WHTC test. For the purpose of this testing, the engine shall be warmed up in accordance with paragraph 7.4.1, the engine be soaked according to paragraph 7.6.3 and the WHTC hot start test be started. Regeneration shall not occur during the engine warm-up.

Average specific emissions between regeneration phases shall be determined from the arithmetic mean of several approximately equidistant WHTC hot start test results (g/kWh). As a minimum, at least one WHTC hot start test as close as possible prior to a regeneration test and one WHTC hot start test immediately after a regeneration test shall be conducted. As an alternative, the manufacturer may provide data to show that the emissions remain constant (±25 per cent or 0,005 g/kWh, whichever is greater) between regeneration phases. In this case, the emissions of only one WHTC hot start test may be used.

During the regeneration test, all the data needed to detect regeneration shall be recorded (CO or NOx emissions, temperature before and after the after-treatment system, exhaust back pressure, etc.).

During the regeneration test, the applicable emission limits may be exceeded.

The test procedure is schematically shown in figure 2.

image

The WHTC hot start emissions shall be weighted as follows:

Formula (5)

where:

n

is the number of WHTC hot start tests without regeneration

nr

is the number of WHTC hot start tests with regeneration (minimum one test)

Formula

is the average specific emission without regeneration, g/kWh

Formula

is the average specific emission with regeneration, g/kWh

For the determination of Formula, the following provisions apply:

(a)

If regeneration takes more than one hot start WHTC, consecutive full hot start WHTC tests shall be conducted and emissions continued to be measured without soaking and without shutting the engine off, until regeneration is completed, and the average of the hot start WHTC tests be calculated.

(b)

If regeneration is completed during any hot start WHTC, the test shall be continued over its entire length.

In agreement with the type approval authority, the regeneration adjustment factors may be applied either multiplicative (c) or additive (d) based upon good engineering analysis.

(c)

The multiplicative adjustment factors shall be calculated as follows:

Formula (upward) (6)

Formula (downward) (6a)

(d)

The additive adjustment factors shall be calculated as follows:

Formula (upward) (7)

Formula (downward) (8)

With reference to the specific emission calculations in paragraph 8.6.3, the regeneration adjustment factors shall be applied, as follows:

(e)

for a test without regeneration, k r,u shall be multiplied with or be added to, respectively, the specific emission e in equations 69 or 70,

(f)

for a test with regeneration, k r,d shall be multiplied with or be subtracted from, respectively, the specific emission e in equations 69 or 70.

At the request of the manufacturer, the regeneration adjustment factors

(g)

may be extended to other members of the same engine family,

(h)

may be extended to other engine families using the same after-treatment system with the prior approval of the type approval or certification authority based on technical evidence to be supplied by the manufacturer, that the emissions are similar.

6.7.   Cooling system

An engine cooling system with sufficient capacity to maintain the engine at normal operating temperatures prescribed by the manufacturer shall be used.

6.8.   Lubricating oil

The lubricating oil shall be specified by the manufacturer and be representative of lubricating oil available on the market; the specifications of the lubricating oil used for the test shall be recorded and presented with the results of the test.

6.9.   Specification of the reference fuel

The reference fuel is specified in Appendix 2 of this Annex for CI engines and in Annexes 6 and 7 for CNG and LPG fuelled engines.

The fuel temperature shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

6.10.   Crankcase emissions

No crankcase emissions shall be discharged directly into the ambient atmosphere, with the following exception: engines equipped with turbochargers, pumps, blowers, or superchargers for air induction may discharge crankcase emissions to the ambient atmosphere if the emissions are added to the exhaust emissions (either physically or mathematically) during all emission testing. Manufacturers taking advantage of this exception shall install the engines so that all crankcase emission can be routed into the emissions sampling system.

For the purpose of this paragraph, crankcase emissions that are routed into the exhaust upstream of exhaust after-treatment during all operation are not considered to be discharged directly into the ambient atmosphere.

Open crankcase emissions shall be routed into the exhaust system for emission measurement, as follows:

(a)

The tubing materials shall be smooth-walled, electrically conductive, and not reactive with crankcase emissions. Tube lengths shall be minimised as far as possible.

(b)

The number of bends in the laboratory crankcase tubing shall be minimised, and the radius of any unavoidable bend shall be maximised.

(c)

The laboratory crankcase exhaust tubing shall be heated, thin-walled or insulated and shall meet the engine manufacturer’s specifications for crankcase back pressure.

(d)

The crankcase exhaust tubing shall connect into the raw exhaust downstream of any after-treatment system, downstream of any installed exhaust restriction, and sufficiently upstream of any sample probes to ensure complete mixing with the engine’s exhaust before sampling. The crankcase exhaust tube shall extend into the free stream of exhaust to avoid boundary-layer effects and to promote mixing. The crankcase exhaust tube’s outlet may orient in any direction relative to the raw exhaust flow.

7.   TEST PROCEDURES

7.1.   Principles of emissions measurement

To measure the specific emissions, the engine shall be operated over the test cycles defined in paragraphs 7.2.1 and 7.2.2. The measurement of specific emissions requires the determination of the mass of components in the exhaust and the corresponding engine cycle work. The components are determined by the sampling methods described in paragraphs 7.1.1 and 7.1.2.

7.1.1.   Continuous sampling

In continuous sampling, the component’s concentration is measured continuously from raw or dilute exhaust. This concentration is multiplied by the continuous (raw or dilute) exhaust flow rate at the emission sampling location to determine the component’s mass flow rate. The component’s emission is continuously summed over the test cycle. This sum is the total mass of the emitted component.

7.1.2.   Batch sampling

In batch sampling, a sample of raw or dilute exhaust is continuously extracted and stored for later measurement. The extracted sample shall be proportional to the raw or dilute exhaust flow rate. Examples of batch sampling are collecting diluted gaseous components in a bag and collecting particulate matter (PM) on a filter. The batch sampled concentrations are multiplied by the total exhaust mass or mass flow (raw or dilute) from which it was extracted during the test cycle. This product is the total mass or mass flow of the emitted component. To calculate the PM concentration, the PM deposited onto a filter from proportionally extracted exhaust shall be divided by the amount of filtered exhaust.

7.1.3.   Measurement procedures

This annex applies two measurement procedures that are functionally equivalent. Both procedures may be used for both the WHTC and the WHSC test cycle:

(a)

the gaseous components are sampled continuously in the raw exhaust gas, and the particulates are determined using a partial flow dilution system;

(b)

the gaseous components and the particulates are determined using a full flow dilution system (CVS system).

Any combination of the two principles (e.g. raw gaseous measurement and full flow particulate measurement) is permitted.

7.2.   Test cycles

7.2.1.   Transient test cycle WHTC

The transient test cycle WHTC is listed in Appendix 1 as a second-by-second sequence of normalised speed and torque values. In order to perform the test on an engine test cell, the normalised values shall be converted to the actual values for the individual engine under test based on the engine-mapping curve. The conversion is referred to as denormalisation, and the test cycle so developed as the reference cycle of the engine to be tested. With those reference speed and torque values, the cycle shall be run on the test cell, and the actual speed, torque and power values shall be recorded. In order to validate the test run, a regression analysis between reference and actual speed, torque and power values shall be conducted upon completion of the test.

For calculation of the brake specific emissions, the actual cycle work shall be calculated by integrating actual engine power over the cycle. For cycle validation, the actual cycle work shall be within prescribed limits of the reference cycle work.

For the gaseous pollutants, continuous sampling (raw or dilute exhaust gas) or batch sampling (dilute exhaust gas) may be used. The particulate sample shall be diluted with a conditioned diluent (such as ambient air), and collected on a single suitable filter. The WHTC is shown schematically in figure 3.

image

7.2.2.   Ramped steady state test cycle WHSC

The ramped steady state test cycle WHSC consists of a number of normalised speed and load modes which shall be converted to the reference values for the individual engine under test based on the engine-mapping curve. The engine shall be operated for the prescribed time in each mode, whereby engine speed and load shall be changed linearly within 20 ± 1 seconds. In order to validate the test run, a regression analysis between reference and actual speed, torque and power values shall be conducted upon completion of the test.

The concentration of each gaseous pollutant, exhaust flow and power output shall be determined over the test cycle. The gaseous pollutants may be recorded continuously or sampled into a sampling bag. The particulate sample shall be diluted with a conditioned diluent (such as ambient air). One sample over the complete test procedure shall be taken, and collected on a single suitable filter.

For calculation of the brake specific emissions, the actual cycle work shall be calculated by integrating actual engine power over the cycle.

The WHSC is shown in table 1. Except for mode 1, the start of each mode is defined as the beginning of the ramp from the previous mode.

7.3.   General test sequence

The following flow chart outlines the general guidance that should be followed during testing. The details of each step are described in the relevant paragraphs. Deviations from the guidance are permitted where appropriate, but the specific requirements of the relevant paragraphs are mandatory.

For the WHTC, the test procedure consists of a cold start test following either natural or forced cool-down of the engine, a hot soak period and a hot start test.

For the WHSC, the test procedure consists of a hot start test following engine preconditioning at WHSC mode 9.

image

7.4.   Engine mapping and reference cycle

Pre-test engine measurements, pre-test engine performance checks and pre-test system calibrations shall be made prior to the engine mapping procedure in line with the general test sequence shown in paragraph 7.3.

As basis for WHTC and WHSC reference cycle generation, the engine shall be mapped under full load operation for determining the speed vs. maximum torque and speed vs. maximum power curves. The mapping curve shall be used for denormalising engine speed (paragraph 7.4.6) and engine torque (paragraph 7.4.7).

7.4.1.   Engine warm-up

The engine shall be warmed up between 75 per cent and 100 per cent of its maximum power or according to the recommendation of the manufacturer and good engineering judgment. Towards the end of the warm up it shall be operated in order to stabilise the engine coolant and lube oil temperatures to within ± 2 per cent of its mean values for at least 2 minutes or until the engine thermostat controls engine temperature.

7.4.2.   Determination of the mapping speed range

The minimum and maximum mapping speeds are defined as follows:

Minimum mapping speed

=

idle speed

Maximum mapping speed

=

n hi × 1,02 or speed where full load torque drops off to zero, whichever is smaller.

7.4.3.   Engine mapping curve

When the engine is stabilised according to paragraph 7.4.1, the engine mapping shall be performed according to the following procedure.

(a)

The engine shall be unloaded and operated at idle speed.

(b)

The engine shall be operated with maximum operator demand at minimum mapping speed.

(c)

The engine speed shall be increased at an average rate of 8 ± 1 min–1/s from minimum to maximum mapping speed, or at a constant rate such that it takes 4 to 6 min to sweep from minimum to maximum mapping speed. Engine speed and torque points shall be recorded at a sample rate of at least one point per second.

When selecting option (b) in paragraph 7.4.7 for determining negative reference torque, the mapping curve may directly continue with minimum operator demand from maximum to minimum mapping speed.

7.4.4.   Alternate mapping

If a manufacturer believes that the above mapping techniques are unsafe or unrepresentative for any given engine, alternate mapping techniques may be used. These alternate techniques shall satisfy the intent of the specified mapping procedures to determine the maximum available torque at all engine speeds achieved during the test cycles. Deviations from the mapping techniques specified in this paragraph for reasons of safety or representativeness shall be approved by the type approval authority along with the justification for their use. In no case, however, the torque curve shall be run by descending engine speeds for governed or turbocharged engines.

7.4.5.   Replicate tests

An engine need not be mapped before each and every test cycle. An engine shall be remapped prior to a test cycle if:

(a)

an unreasonable amount of time has transpired since the last map, as determined by engineering judgement, or

(b)

physical changes or recalibrations have been made to the engine which potentially affect engine performance.

7.4.6.   Denormalisation of engine speed

For generating the reference cycles, the normalised speeds of Appendix 1 (WHTC) and table 1 (WHSC) shall be denormalised using the following equation:

Formula (9)

For determination of n pref, the integral of the maximum torque shall be calculated from n idle to n 95h from the engine mapping curve, as determined in accordance with paragraph 7.4.3.

The engine speeds in figures 4 and 5 are defined, as follows:

n lo

is the lowest speed where the power is 55 per cent of maximum power

n pref

is the engine speed where the integral of max. mapped torque is 51 per cent of the whole integral between n idle and n 95h

n hi

is the highest speed where the power is 70 per cent of maximum power

n idle

is the idle speed

n 95h

is the highest speed where the power is 95 per cent of maximum power

For engines (mainly positive ignition engines) with a steep governor droop curve, where fuel cut off does not permit to operate the engine up to n hi or n 95h, the following provisions apply:

n hi

in equation 9 is replaced with n Pmax × 1,02

n 95h

is replaced with n Pmax × 1,02

image

image

7.4.7.   Denormalisation of engine torque

The torque values in the engine dynamometer schedule of Appendix 1 (WHTC) and in table 1 (WHSC) are normalised to the maximum torque at the respective speed. For generating the reference cycles, the torque values for each individual reference speed value as determined in paragraph 7.4.6 shall be denormalised, using the mapping curve determined according to paragraph 7.4.3, as follows:

Formula (10)

where:

M norm,i

is the normalised torque, per cent

M max,i

is the maximum torque from the mapping curve, Nm

M f,i

is the torque absorbed by auxiliaries/equipment to be fitted, Nm

M r,i

is the torque absorbed by auxiliaries/equipment to be removed, Nm

If auxiliaries/equipment are fitted in accordance with paragraph 6.3.1 and Appendix 7, M f and M r are zero.

The negative torque values of the motoring points (m in Appendix 1) shall take on, for purposes of reference cycle generation, reference values determined in either of the following ways:

(a)

negative 40 per cent of the positive torque available at the associated speed point;

(b)

mapping of the negative torque required to motor the engine from maximum to minimum mapping speed;

(c)

determination of the negative torque required to motor the engine at idle and at n hi and linear interpolation between these two points.

7.4.8.   Calculation of reference cycle work

Reference cycle work shall be determined over the test cycle by synchronously calculating instantaneous values for engine power from reference speed and reference torque, as determined in paragraphs 7.4.6 and 7.4.7. Instantaneous engine power values shall be integrated over the test cycle to calculate the reference cycle work W ref (kWh). If auxiliaries are not fitted in accordance with paragraph 6.3.1, the instantaneous power values shall be corrected using equation (4) in paragraph 6.3.5.

The same methodology shall be used for integrating both reference and actual engine power. If values are to be determined between adjacent reference or adjacent measured values, linear interpolation shall be used. In integrating the actual cycle work, any negative torque values shall be set equal to zero and included. If integration is performed at a frequency of less than 5 Hz, and if, during a given time segment, the torque value changes from positive to negative or negative to positive, the negative portion shall be computed and set equal to zero. The positive portion shall be included in the integrated value.

7.5.   Pre-test procedures

7.5.1.   Installation of the measurement equipment

The instrumentation and sample probes shall be installed as required. The tailpipe shall be connected to the full flow dilution system, if used.

7.5.2.   Preparation of measurement equipment for sampling

The following steps shall be taken before emission sampling begins:

(a)

Leak checks shall be performed within 8 hours prior to emission sampling according to paragraph 9.3.4.

(b)

For batch sampling, clean storage media shall be connected, such as evacuated bags.

(c)

All measurement instruments shall be started according to the instrument manufacturer’s instructions and good engineering judgment.

(d)

Dilution systems, sample pumps, cooling fans, and the data-collection system shall be started.

(e)

The sample flow rates shall be adjusted to desired levels, using bypass flow, if desired.

(f)

Heat exchangers in the sampling system shall be pre-heated or pre-cooled to within their operating temperature ranges for a test.

(g)

Heated or cooled components such as sample lines, filters, coolers, and pumps shall be allowed to stabilise at their operating temperatures.

(h)

Exhaust dilution system flow shall be switched on at least 10 minutes before a test sequence.

(i)

Any electronic integrating devices shall be zeroed or re-zeroed, before the start of any test interval.

7.5.3.   Checking the gas analysers

Gas analyser ranges shall be selected. Emission analysers with automatic or manual range switching are permitted. During the test cycle, the range of the emission analysers shall not be switched. At the same time the gains of an analyser’s analogue operational amplifier(s) may not be switched during the test cycle.

Zero and span response shall be determined for all analysers using internationally-traceable gases that meet the specifications of paragraph 9.3.3. FID analysers shall be spanned on a carbon number basis of one (C1).

7.5.4.   Preparation of the particulate sampling filter

At least one hour before the test, the filter shall be placed in a petri dish, which is protected against dust contamination and allows air exchange, and placed in a weighing chamber for stabilisation. At the end of the stabilisation period, the filter shall be weighed and the tare weight shall be recorded. The filter shall then be stored in a closed petri dish or sealed filter holder until needed for testing. The filter shall be used within eight hours of its removal from the weighing chamber.

7.5.5.   Adjustment of the dilution system

The total diluted exhaust gas flow of a full flow dilution system or the diluted exhaust gas flow through a partial flow dilution system shall be set to eliminate water condensation in the system, and to obtain a filter face temperature between 315 K (42 °C) and 325 K (52 °C).

7.5.6.   Starting the particulate sampling system

The particulate sampling system shall be started and operated on by-pass. The particulate background level of the diluent may be determined by sampling the diluent prior to the entrance of the exhaust gas into the dilution tunnel. The measurement may be done prior to or after the test. If the measurement is done both at the beginning and at the end of the cycle, the values may be averaged. If a different sampling system is used for background measurement, the measurement shall be done in parallel to the test run.

7.6.   WHTC cycle run

7.6.1.   Engine cool-down

A natural or forced cool-down procedure may be applied. For forced cool-down, good engineering judgment shall be used to set up systems to send cooling air across the engine, to send cool oil through the engine lubrication system, to remove heat from the coolant through the engine cooling system, and to remove heat from an exhaust after-treatment system. In the case of a forced after-treatment system cool down, cooling air shall not be applied until the after-treatment system has cooled below its catalytic activation temperature. Any cooling procedure that results in unrepresentative emissions is not permitted.

7.6.2.   Cold start test

The cold-start test shall be started when the temperatures of the engine’s lubricant, coolant, and after-treatment systems are all between 293 and 303 K (20 and 30 °C). The engine shall be started using one of the following methods:

(a)

the engine shall be started as recommended in the owners manual using a production starter motor and adequately charged battery or a suitable power supply, or

(b)

the engine shall be started by using the dynamometer. The engine shall be motored within ± 25 per cent of its typical in-use cranking speed. Cranking shall be stopped within 1 second after the engine is running. If the engine does not start after 15 seconds of cranking, cranking shall be stopped and the reason for the failure to start determined, unless the owners manual or the service-repair manual describes the longer cranking time as normal.

7.6.3.   Hot soak period

Immediately upon completion of the cold start test, the engine shall be conditioned for the hot start test using a 10 ± 1 minutes hot soak period.

7.6.4.   Hot start test

The engine shall be started at the end of the hot soak period as defined in paragraph 7.6.3. using the starting methods given in paragraph 7.6.2.

7.6.5.   Test sequence

The test sequence of both cold start and hot start test shall commence at the start of the engine. After the engine is running, cycle control shall be initiated so that engine operation matches the first set point of the cycle.

The WHTC shall be performed according to the reference cycle as set out in paragraph 7.4. Engine speed and torque command set points shall be issued at 5 Hz (10 Hz recommended) or greater. The set points shall be calculated by linear interpolation between the 1 Hz set points of the reference cycle. Actual engine speed and torque shall be recorded at least once every second during the test cycle (1 Hz), and the signals may be electronically filtered.

7.6.6.   Collection of emission relevant data

At the start of the test sequence, the measuring equipment shall be started, simultaneously:

(a)

start collecting or analysing diluent air, if a full flow dilution system is used;

(b)

start collecting or analysing raw or diluted exhaust gas, depending on the method used;

(c)

start measuring the amount of diluted exhaust gas and the required temperatures and pressures;

(d)

start recording the exhaust gas mass flow rate, if raw exhaust gas analysis is used;

(e)

start recording the feedback data of speed and torque of the dynamometer.

If raw exhaust measurement is used, the emission concentrations ((NM)HC, CO and NOx) and the exhaust gas mass flow rate shall be measured continuously and stored with at least 2 Hz on a computer system. All other data may be recorded with a sample rate of at least 1 Hz. For analogue analysers the response shall be recorded, and the calibration data may be applied online or offline during the data evaluation.

If a full flow dilution system is used, HC and NOx shall be measured continuously in the dilution tunnel with a frequency of at least 2 Hz. The average concentrations shall be determined by integrating the analyser signals over the test cycle. The system response time shall be no greater than 20 s, and shall be coordinated with CVS flow fluctuations and sampling time/test cycle offsets, if necessary. CO, CO2, and NMHC may be determined by integration of continuous measurement signals or by analysing the concentrations in the sample bag, collected over the cycle. The concentrations of the gaseous pollutants in the diluent shall be determined prior to the point where the exhaust enters into the dilution tunnel by integration or by collecting into the background bag. All other parameters that need to be measured shall be recorded with a minimum of one measurement per second (1 Hz).

7.6.7.   Particulate sampling

At the start of the test sequence, the particulate sampling system shall be switched from by-pass to collecting particulates.

If a partial flow dilution system is used, the sample pump(s) shall be controlled, so that the flow rate through the particulate sample probe or transfer tube is maintained proportional to the exhaust mass flow rate as determined in accordance with paragraph 9.4.6.1.

If a full flow dilution system is used, the sample pump(s) shall be adjusted so that the flow rate through the particulate sample probe or transfer tube is maintained at a value within ±2,5 per cent of the set flow rate. If flow compensation (i.e. proportional control of sample flow) is used, it shall be demonstrated that the ratio of main tunnel flow to particulate sample flow does not change by more than ±2,5 per cent of its set value (except for the first 10 seconds of sampling). The average temperature and pressure at the gas meter(s) or flow instrumentation inlet shall be recorded. If the set flow rate cannot be maintained over the complete cycle within ±2,5 per cent because of high particulate loading on the filter, the test shall be voided. The test shall be rerun using a lower sample flow rate.

7.6.8.   Engine stalling and equipment malfunction

If the engine stalls anywhere during the cold start test, the test shall be voided. The engine shall be preconditioned and restarted according to the requirements of paragraph 7.6.2, and the test repeated.

If the engine stalls anywhere during the hot start test, the hot start test shall be voided. The engine shall be soaked according to paragraph 7.6.3, and the hot start test repeated. In this case, the cold start test need not be repeated.

If a malfunction occurs in any of the required test equipment during the test cycle, the test shall be voided and repeated in line with the above provisions.

7.7.   WHSC cycle run

7.7.1.   Preconditioning the dilution system and the engine

The dilution system and the engine shall be started and warmed up in accordance with paragraph 7.4.1. After warm-up, the engine and sampling system shall be preconditioned by operating the engine at mode 9 (see paragraph 7.2.2, table 1) for a minimum of 10 minutes while simultaneously operating the dilution system. Dummy particulate emissions samples may be collected. Those sample filters need not be stabilised or weighed, and may be discarded. Flow rates shall be set at the approximate flow rates selected for testing. The engine shall be shut off after preconditioning.

7.7.2.   Engine starting

5 ± 1 minutes after completion of preconditioning at mode 9 as described in paragraph 7.7.1, the engine shall be started according to the manufacturer’s recommended starting procedure in the owner’s manual, using either a production starter motor or the dynamometer in accordance with paragraph 7.6.2.

7.7.3.   Test sequence

The test sequence shall commence after the engine is running and within one minute after engine operation is controlled to match the first mode of the cycle (idle).

The WHSC shall be performed according to the order of test modes listed in table 1 of paragraph 7.2.2.

7.7.4.   Collection of emission relevant data

At the start of the test sequence, the measuring equipment shall be started, simultaneously:

(a)

start collecting or analysing diluent, if a full flow dilution system is used;

(b)

start collecting or analysing raw or diluted exhaust gas, depending on the method used;

(c)

start measuring the amount of diluted exhaust gas and the required temperatures and pressures;

(d)

start recording the exhaust gas mass flow rate, if raw exhaust gas analysis is used;

(e)

start recording the feedback data of speed and torque of the dynamometer.

If raw exhaust measurement is used, the emission concentrations ((NM)HC, CO and NOx) and the exhaust gas mass flow rate shall be measured continuously and stored with at least 2 Hz on a computer system. All other data may be recorded with a sample rate of at least 1 Hz. For analogue analysers the response shall be recorded, and the calibration data may be applied online or offline during the data evaluation.

If a full flow dilution system is used, HC and NOx shall be measured continuously in the dilution tunnel with a frequency of at least 2 Hz. The average concentrations shall be determined by integrating the analyser signals over the test cycle. The system response time shall be no greater than 20 s, and shall be coordinated with CVS flow fluctuations and sampling time/test cycle offsets, if necessary. CO, CO2, and NMHC may be determined by integration of continuous measurement signals or by analysing the concentrations in the sample bag, collected over the cycle. The concentrations of the gaseous pollutants in the diluent shall be determined prior to the point where the exhaust enters into the dilution tunnel by integration or by collecting into the background bag. All other parameters that need to be measured shall be recorded with a minimum of one measurement per second (1 Hz).

7.7.5.   Particulate sampling

At the start of the test sequence, the particulate sampling system shall be switched from by-pass to collecting particulates. If a partial flow dilution system is used, the sample pump(s) shall be controlled, so that the flow rate through the particulate sample probe or transfer tube is maintained proportional to the exhaust mass flow rate as determined in accordance with paragraph 9.4.6.1.

If a full flow dilution system is used, the sample pump(s) shall be adjusted so that the flow rate through the particulate sample probe or transfer tube is maintained at a value within ±2,5 per cent of the set flow rate. If flow compensation (i.e. proportional control of sample flow) is used, it shall be demonstrated that the ratio of main tunnel flow to particulate sample flow does not change by more than ±2,5 per cent of its set value (except for the first 10 seconds of sampling). The average temperature and pressure at the gas meter(s) or flow instrumentation inlet shall be recorded. If the set flow rate cannot be maintained over the complete cycle within ±2,5 per cent because of high particulate loading on the filter, the test shall be voided. The test shall be rerun using a lower sample flow rate.

7.7.6.   Engine stalling and equipment malfunction

If the engine stalls anywhere during the cycle, the test shall be voided. The engine shall be preconditioned according to paragraph 7.7.1 and restarted according to paragraph 7.7.2, and the test repeated.

If a malfunction occurs in any of the required test equipment during the test cycle, the test shall be voided and repeated in line with the above provisions.

7.8.   Post-test procedures

7.8.1.   Operations after test

At the completion of the test, the measurement of the exhaust gas mass flow rate, the diluted exhaust gas volume, the gas flow into the collecting bags and the particulate sample pump shall be stopped. For an integrating analyser system, sampling shall continue until system response times have elapsed.

7.8.2.   Verification of proportional sampling

For any proportional batch sample, such as a bag sample or PM sample, it shall be verified that proportional sampling was maintained according to paragraphs 7.6.7 and 7.7.5. Any sample that does not fulfil the requirements shall be voided.

7.8.3.   PM conditioning and weighing

The particulate filter shall be placed into covered or sealed containers or the filter holders shall be closed, in order to protect the sample filters against ambient contamination. Thus protected, the filter shall be returned to the weighing chamber. The filter shall be conditioned for at least one hour, and then weighed according to paragraph 9.4.5. The gross weight of the filter shall be recorded.

7.8.4.   Drift verification

As soon as practical but no later than 30 minutes after the test cycle is complete or during the soak period, the zero and span responses of the gaseous analyser ranges used shall be determined. For the purpose of this paragraph, test cycle is defined as follows:

(a)

for the WHTC: the complete sequence cold — soak — hot;

(b)

for the WHTC hot start test (paragraph 6.6): the sequence soak — hot;

(c)

for the multiple regeneration WHTC hot start test (paragraph 6.6): the total number of hot start tests;

(d)

for the WHSC: the test cycle.

The following provisions apply for analyser drift:

(a)

the pre-test zero and span and post-test zero and span responses may be directly inserted into equation 66 of paragraph 8.6.1 without determining drift;

(b)

if the drift difference between the pre-test and post-test results is less than 1 per cent of full scale, the measured concentrations may be used uncorrected or may be corrected for drift according to paragraph 8.6.1;

(c)

if the drift difference between the pre-test and post-test results is equal to or greater than 1 per cent of full scale, the test shall be voided or the measured concentrations shall be corrected for drift according to paragraph 8.6.1.

7.8.5.   Analysis of gaseous bag sampling

As soon as practical, the following shall be performed:

(a)

gaseous bag samples shall be analysed no later than 30 minutes after the hot start test is complete or during the soak period for the cold start test;

(b)

background samples shall be analysed no later than 60 minutes after the hot start test is complete.

7.8.6.   Validation of cycle work

Before calculating actual cycle work, any points recorded during engine starting shall be omitted. Actual cycle work shall be determined over the test cycle by synchronously using actual speed and actual torque values to calculate instantaneous values for engine power. Instantaneous engine power values shall be integrated over the test cycle to calculate the actual cycle work W act (kWh). If auxiliaries/equipment are not fitted in accordance with paragraph 6.3.1, the instantaneous power values shall be corrected using equation (4) in paragraph 6.3.5.

The same methodology as described in paragraph 7.4.8 shall be used for integrating actual engine power.

The actual cycle work W act is used for comparison to the reference cycle work W ref and for calculating the brake specific emissions (see paragraph 8.6.3).

W act shall be between 85 per cent and 105 per cent of W ref.

7.8.7.   Validation statistics of the test cycle

Linear regressions of the actual values (n act, M act, P act) on the reference values (n ref, M ref, P ref) shall be performed for both the WHTC and the WHSC.

To minimise the biasing effect of the time lag between the actual and reference cycle values, the entire engine speed and torque actual signal sequence may be advanced or delayed in time with respect to the reference speed and torque sequence. If the actual signals are shifted, both speed and torque shall be shifted the same amount in the same direction.

The method of least squares shall be used, with the best-fit equation having the form:

Formula (11)

where:

y

is the actual value of speed (min–1), torque (Nm), or power (kW)

a1

is the slope of the regression line

x

is the reference value of speed (min–1), torque (Nm), or power (kW)

a0

is the y intercept of the regression line

The standard error of estimate (SEE) of y on x and the coefficient of determination (r2) shall be calculated for each regression line.

It is recommended that this analysis be performed at 1 Hz. For a test to be considered valid, the criteria of table 2 (WHTC) or table 3 (WHSC) shall be met.

The exhaust mass flow rate may be measured directly, or calculated using the methods of intake air and fuel flow measurement, tracer method or intake air and air/fuel ratio measurement. Special attention shall be paid to the response times of the different instruments. These differences shall be accounted for by time aligning the signals. For particulates, the exhaust mass flow rate signals are used for controlling the partial flow dilution system to take a sample proportional to the exhaust mass flow rate. The quality of proportionality shall be checked by applying a regression analysis between sample and exhaust flow in accordance with paragraph 9.4.6.1. The complete test set up is schematically shown in figure 6.

image

8.4.1.   Determination of exhaust gas mass flow

8.4.1.1.   Introduction

For calculation of the emissions in the raw exhaust gas and for controlling of a partial flow dilution system, it is necessary to know the exhaust gas mass flow rate. For the determination of the exhaust mass flow rate, either of the methods described in paragraphs 8.4.1.3 to 8.4.1.7 may be used.

8.4.1.2.   Response time

For the purpose of emissions calculation, the response time of either method described in paragraphs 8.4.1.3 to 8.4.1.7 shall be equal to or less than the analyser response time of ≤ 10 s, as required in paragraph 9.3.5.

For the purpose of controlling of a partial flow dilution system, a faster response is required. For partial flow dilution systems with online control, the response time shall be ≤ 0,3 s. For partial flow dilution systems with look-ahead control based on a pre-recorded test run, the response time of the exhaust flow measurement system shall be ≤ 5 s with a rise time of ≤ 1 s. The system response time shall be specified by the instrument manufacturer. The combined response time requirements for the exhaust gas flow and partial flow dilution system are indicated in paragraph 9.4.6.1.

8.4.1.3.   Direct measurement method

Direct measurement of the instantaneous exhaust flow shall be done by systems, such as:

(a)

pressure differential devices, like flow nozzle, (details see ISO 5167);

(b)

ultrasonic flowmeter;

(c)

vortex flowmeter.

Precautions shall be taken to avoid measurement errors which will impact emission value errors. Such precautions include the careful installation of the device in the engine exhaust system according to the instrument manufacturers’ recommendations and to good engineering practice. Especially, engine performance and emissions shall not be affected by the installation of the device.

The flowmeters shall meet the linearity requirements of paragraph 9.2.

8.4.1.4.   Air and fuel measurement method

This involves measurement of the airflow and the fuel flow with suitable flowmeters. The calculation of the instantaneous exhaust gas flow shall be as follows:

Formula (28)

where:

q mew,i

is the instantaneous exhaust mass flow rate, kg/s

q maw,i

is the instantaneous intake air mass flow rate, kg/s

q mf,i

is the instantaneous fuel mass flow rate, kg/s

The flowmeters shall meet the linearity requirements of paragraph 9.2, but shall be accurate enough to also meet the linearity requirements for the exhaust gas flow.

8.4.1.5.   Tracer measurement method

This involves measurement of the concentration of a tracer gas in the exhaust.

A known amount of an inert gas (e.g. pure helium) shall be injected into the exhaust gas flow as a tracer. The gas is mixed and diluted by the exhaust gas, but shall not react in the exhaust pipe. The concentration of the gas shall then be measured in the exhaust gas sample.

In order to ensure complete mixing of the tracer gas, the exhaust gas sampling probe shall be located at least 1 m or 30 times the diameter of the exhaust pipe, whichever is larger, downstream of the tracer gas injection point. The sampling probe may be located closer to the injection point if complete mixing is verified by comparing the tracer gas concentration with the reference concentration when the tracer gas is injected upstream of the engine.

The tracer gas flow rate shall be set so that the tracer gas concentration at engine idle speed after mixing becomes lower than the full scale of the trace gas analyser.

The calculation of the exhaust gas flow shall be as follows:

Formula (29)

where:

q mew,i

is the instantaneous exhaust mass flow rate, kg/s

q vt

is tracer gas flow rate, cm3/min

c mix,i

is the instantaneous concentration of the tracer gas after mixing, ppm

ρ e

is the density of the exhaust gas, kg/m3 (cf. table 4)

c b

is the background concentration of the tracer gas in the intake air, ppm

The background concentration of the tracer gas (c b) may be determined by averaging the background concentration measured immediately before the test run and after the test run.

When the background concentration is less than 1 per cent of the concentration of the tracer gas after mixing (c mix.i) at maximum exhaust flow, the background concentration may be neglected.

The total system shall meet the linearity requirements for the exhaust gas flow of paragraph 9.2.

8.4.1.6.   Airflow and air to fuel ratio measurement method

This involves exhaust mass calculation from the air flow and the air to fuel ratio. The calculation of the instantaneous exhaust gas mass flow is as follows:

Formula (30)

with

Formula (31)

Formula (32)

where:

q maw,i

is the instantaneous intake air mass flow rate, kg/s

A/F st

is the stoichiometric air to fuel ratio, kg/kg

λ i

is the instantaneous excess air ratio

c CO2d

is the dry CO2 concentration, per cent

c COd

is the dry CO concentration, ppm

c HCw

is the wet HC concentration, ppm

Airflowmeter and analysers shall meet the linearity requirements of paragraph 9.2, and the total system shall meet the linearity requirements for the exhaust gas flow of paragraph 9.2.

If an air to fuel ratio measurement equipment such as a zirconia-type sensor is used for the measurement of the excess air ratio, it shall meet the specifications of paragraph 9.3.2.7.

8.4.1.7.   Carbon balance method

This involves exhaust mass calculation from the fuel flow and the gaseous exhaust components that include carbon. The calculation of the instantaneous exhaust gas mass flow is as follows:

Formula (33)

with

Formula (34)

and

Formula (35)

where:

q mf,i

is the instantaneous fuel mass flow rate, kg/s

H a

is the intake air humidity, g water per kg dry air

w BET

is the carbon content of the fuel, per cent mass

w ALF

is the hydrogen content of the fuel, per cent mass

c HCw

is the wet HC concentration, ppm

8.4.2.   Determination of the gaseous components

8.4.2.1.   Introduction

The gaseous components in the raw exhaust gas emitted by the engine submitted for testing shall be measured with the measurement and sampling systems described in paragraph 9.3 and Appendix 3. The data evaluation is described in paragraph 8.4.2.2.

Two calculation procedures are described in paragraphs 8.4.2.3 and 8.4.2.4, which are equivalent for the reference fuel of Appendix 2. The procedure in paragraph 8.4.2.3 is more straightforward, since it uses tabulated u values for the ratio between component and exhaust gas density. The procedure in paragraph 8.4.2.4 is more accurate for fuel qualities that deviate from the specifications in Appendix 2, but requires elementary analysis of the fuel composition.

8.4.2.2.   Data evaluation

The emission relevant data shall be recorded and stored in accordance with paragraph 7.6.6.

For calculation of the mass emission of the gaseous components, the traces of the recorded concentrations and the trace of the exhaust gas mass flow rate shall be time aligned by the transformation time as defined in paragraph 3.1.30. Therefore, the response time of each gaseous emissions analyser and of the exhaust gas mass flow system shall be determined according to paragraphs 8.4.1.2 and 9.3.5, respectively, and recorded.

8.4.2.3.   Calculation of mass emission based on tabulated values

The mass of the pollutants (g/test) shall be determined by calculating the instantaneous mass emissions from the raw concentrations of the pollutants and the exhaust gas mass flow, aligned for the transformation time as determined in accordance with paragraph 8.4.2.2, integrating the instantaneous values over the cycle, and multiplying the integrated values with the u values from table 5. If measured on a dry basis, the dry/wet correction according to paragraph 8.1 shall be applied to the instantaneous concentration values before any further calculation is done.

For the calculation of NOx, the mass emission shall be multiplied, where applicable, with the humidity correction factor k h,D, or k h,G, as determined according to paragraph 8.2.

The following equation shall be applied:

Formula (in g/test) (36)

where:

u gas

is the respective value of the exhaust component from table 5

c gas,i

is the instantaneous concentration of the component in the exhaust gas, ppm

q mew,i

is the instantaneous exhaust mass flow, kg/s

f

8.4.2.4.   Calculation of mass emission based on exact equations

The mass of the pollutants (g/test) shall be determined by calculating the instantaneous mass emissions from the raw concentrations of the pollutants, the u values and the exhaust gas mass flow, aligned for the transformation time as determined in accordance with paragraph 8.4.2.2 and integrating the instantaneous values over the cycle. If measured on a dry basis, the dry/wet correction according to paragraph 8.1 shall be applied to the instantaneous concentration values before any further calculation is done.

For the calculation of NOx, the mass emission shall be multiplied with the humidity correction factor k h,D, or k h,G, as determined according to paragraph 8.2.

The following equation shall be applied:

The NDUV temperature shall be maintained to prevent aqueous condensation, unless a sample dryer is installed upstream of the NO2/NO converter, if used, or upstream of the analyser.

9.3.2.7.   Air to fuel measurement

The air to fuel measurement equipment used to determine the exhaust gas flow as specified in paragraph 8.4.1.6 shall be a wide range air to fuel ratio sensor or lambda sensor of Zirconia type. The sensor shall be mounted directly on the exhaust pipe where the exhaust gas temperature is high enough to eliminate water condensation.

The accuracy of the sensor with incorporated electronics shall be within:

± 3 per cent of reading

for

λ < 2

± 5 per cent of reading

for

2 ≤ λ < 5

± 10 per cent of reading

for

5 ≤ λ

To fulfill the accuracy specified above, the sensor shall be calibrated as specified by the instrument manufacturer.

9.3.3.   Gases

The shelf life of all gases shall be respected.

9.3.3.1.   Pure gases

The required purity of the gases is defined by the contamination limits given below. The following gases shall be available for operation:

(a)

For raw exhaust gas

Hydrogen-helium mixture (FID burner fuel)

(40 ± 1 per cent hydrogen, balance helium)

(Contamination ≤ 1 ppm C1, ≤ 400 ppm CO2)

Purified synthetic air

(Contamination ≤ 1 ppm C1, ≤ 1 ppm CO, ≤ 400 ppm CO2, ≤ 0,1 ppm NO)

(Oxygen content between 18-21 per cent vol.)

(b)

For dilute exhaust gas (optionally for raw exhaust gas)

Purified nitrogen

(Contamination ≤ 0,05 ppm C1, ≤ 1 ppm CO, ≤ 10 ppm CO2, ≤ 0,02 ppm NO)

Purified oxygen

(Purity > 99,5 per cent vol O2)

Hydrogen-helium mixture (FID burner fuel)

(40 ± 1 per cent hydrogen, balance helium)

(Contamination ≤ 0,05 ppm C1, ≤ 10 ppm CO2)

Purified synthetic air

(Contamination ≤ 0,05 ppm C1, ≤ 1 ppm CO, ≤ 10 ppm CO2, ≤ 0,02 ppm NO)

(Oxygen content between 20,5 - 21,5 per cent vol.)

If gas bottles are not available, a gas purifier may be used, if contamination levels can be demonstrated.

9.3.3.2.   Calibration and span gases

Mixtures of gases having the following chemical compositions shall be available, if applicable. Other gas combinations are allowed provided the gases do not react with one another. The expiration date of the calibration gases stated by the manufacturer shall be recorded.

C3H8 and purified synthetic air (see paragraph 9.3.3.1);

CO and purified nitrogen;

NO and purified nitrogen;

NO2 and purified synthetic air;

CO2 and purified nitrogen;

CH4 and purified synthetic air;

C2H6 and purified synthetic air

The true concentration of a calibration and span gas shall be within ± 1 per cent of the nominal value, and shall be traceable to national or international standards. All concentrations of calibration gas shall be given on a volume basis (volume percent or volume ppm).

9.3.3.3.   Gas dividers

The gases used for calibration and span may also be obtained by means of gas dividers (precision blending devices), diluting with purified N2 or with purified synthetic air. The accuracy of the gas divider shall be such that the concentration of the blended calibration gases is accurate to within ± 2 per cent. This accuracy implies that primary gases used for blending shall be known to an accuracy of at least ± 1 per cent, traceable to national or international gas standards. The verification shall be performed at between 15 and 50 per cent of full scale for each calibration incorporating a gas divider. An additional verification may be performed using another calibration gas, if the first verification has failed.

Optionally, the blending device may be checked with an instrument which by nature is linear, e.g. using NO gas with a CLD. The span value of the instrument shall be adjusted with the span gas directly connected to the instrument. The gas divider shall be checked at the settings used and the nominal value shall be compared to the measured concentration of the instrument. This difference shall in each point be within ± 1 per cent of the nominal value.

For conducting the linearity verification according to paragraph 9.2.1, the gas divider shall be accurate to within ± 1 per cent.

9.3.3.4.   Oxygen interference check gases

Oxygen interference check gases are a blend of propane, oxygen and nitrogen. They shall contain propane with 350 ppm C ± 75 ppm C hydrocarbon. The concentration value shall be determined to calibration gas tolerances by chromatographic analysis of total hydrocarbons plus impurities or by dynamic blending. The oxygen concentrations required for positive ignition and compression ignition engine testing are listed in table 8 with the remainder being purified nitrogen.

Table 8

Oxygen interference check gases

Compression and positive ignition

9.3.4.   Leak check

A system leak check shall be performed. The probe shall be disconnected from the exhaust system and the end plugged. The analyser pump shall be switched on. After an initial stabilisation period all flowmeters will read approximately zero in the absence of a leak. If not, the sampling lines shall be checked and the fault corrected.

The maximum allowable leakage rate on the vacuum side shall be 0,5 per cent of the in-use flow rate for the portion of the system being checked. The analyser flows and bypass flows may be used to estimate the in-use flow rates.

Alternatively, the system may be evacuated to a pressure of at least 20 kPa vacuum (80 kPa absolute). After an initial stabilisation period the pressure increase Δp (kPa/min) in the system shall not exceed:

Formula (71)

where:

V s

is the system volume, l

q vs

is the system flow rate, l/min

Another method is the introduction of a concentration step change at the beginning of the sampling line by switching from zero to span gas. If for a correctly calibrated analyser after an adequate period of time the reading is ≤ 99 per cent compared to the introduced concentration, this points to a leakage problem that shall be corrected.

9.3.5.   Response time check of the analytical system

The system settings for the response time evaluation shall be exactly the same as during measurement of the test run (i.e. pressure, flow rates, filter settings on the analysers and all other response time influences). The response time determination shall be done with gas switching directly at the inlet of the sample probe. The gas switching shall be done in less than 0,1 s. The gases used for the test shall cause a concentration change of at least 60 per cent full scale (FS).

The concentration trace of each single gas component shall be recorded. The response time is defined to be the difference in time between the gas switching and the appropriate change of the recorded concentration. The system response time (t 90) consists of the delay time to the measuring detector and the rise time of the detector. The delay time is defined as the time from the change (t 0) until the response is 10 per cent of the final reading (t 10). The rise time is defined as the time between 10 per cent and 90 per cent response of the final reading (t 90t 10).

For time alignment of the analyser and exhaust flow signals, the transformation time is defined as the time from the change (t 0) until the response is 50 per cent of the final reading (t 50).

The system response time shall be ≤ 10 s with a rise time of ≤ 2,5 s in accordance with paragraph 9.3.1.7 for all limited components (CO, NOx, HC or NMHC) and all ranges used. When using a NMC for the measurement of NMHC, the system response time may exceed 10 s.

9.3.6.   Efficiency test of NOx converter

The efficiency of the converter used for the conversion of NO2 into NO is tested as given in paragraphs 9.3.6.1 to 9.3.6.8 (see figure 8).

image

9.3.6.1.   Test setup

Using the test setup as schematically shown in figure 8 and the procedure below, the efficiency of the converter shall be tested by means of an ozonator.

9.3.6.2.   Calibration

The CLD and the HCLD shall be calibrated in the most common operating range following the manufacturer’s specifications using zero and span gas (the NO content of which shall amount to about 80 per cent of the operating range and the NO2 concentration of the gas mixture to less than 5 per cent of the NO concentration). The NOx analyser shall be in the NO mode so that the span gas does not pass through the converter. The indicated concentration has to be recorded.

9.3.6.3.   Calculation

The per cent efficiency of the converter shall be calculated as follows:

Formula (72)

where:

a

is the NOx concentration according to paragraph 9.3.6.6.

b

is the NOx concentration according to paragraph 9.3.6.7.

c

is the NO concentration according to paragraph 9.3.6.4.

d

is the NO concentration according to paragraph 9.3.6.5.

9.3.6.4.   Adding of oxygen

Via a T-fitting, oxygen or zero air shall be added continuously to the gas flow until the concentration indicated is about 20 per cent less than the indicated calibration concentration given in paragraph 9.3.6.2 (the analyser is in the NO mode).

The indicated concentration (c) shall be recorded. The ozonator is kept deactivated throughout the process.

9.3.6.5.   Activation of the ozonator

The ozonator shall be activated to generate enough ozone to bring the NO concentration down to about 20 per cent (minimum 10 per cent) of the calibration concentration given in paragraph 9.3.6.2. The indicated concentration (d) shall be recorded (the analyser is in the NO mode).

9.3.6.6.   NOx mode

The NO analyser shall be switched to the NOx mode so that the gas mixture (consisting of NO, NO2, O2 and N2) now passes through the converter. The indicated concentration (a) shall be recorded (the analyser is in the NOx mode).

9.3.6.7.   Deactivation of the ozonator

The ozonator is now deactivated. The mixture of gases described in paragraph 9.3.6.6 passes through the converter into the detector. The indicated concentration (b) shall be recorded (the analyser is in the NOx mode).

9.3.6.8.   NO mode

Switched to NO mode with the ozonator deactivated, the flow of oxygen or synthetic air shall be shut off. The NOx reading of the analyser shall not deviate by more than ± 5 per cent from the value measured according to paragraph 9.3.6.2 (the analyser is in the NO mode).

9.3.6.9.   Test interval

The efficiency of the converter shall be tested at least once per month.

9.3.6.10.   Efficiency requirement

The efficiency of the converter E NOx shall not be less than 95 per cent.

If, with the analyser in the most common range, the ozonator cannot give a reduction from 80 per cent to 20 per cent according to paragraph 9.3.6.5, the highest range which will give the reduction shall be used.

9.3.7.   Adjustment of the FID

9.3.7.1.   Optimisation of the detector response

The FID shall be adjusted as specified by the instrument manufacturer. A propane in air span gas shall be used to optimise the response on the most common operating range.

With the fuel and airflow rates set at the manufacturer’s recommendations, a 350 ± 75 ppm C span gas shall be introduced to the analyser. The response at a given fuel flow shall be determined from the difference between the span gas response and the zero gas response. The fuel flow shall be incrementally adjusted above and below the manufacturer’s specification. The span and zero response at these fuel flows shall be recorded. The difference between the span and zero response shall be plotted and the fuel flow adjusted to the rich side of the curve. This is the initial flow rate setting which may need further optimisation depending on the results of the hydrocarbon response factors and the oxygen interference check according to paragraphs 9.3.7.2 and 9.3.7.3. If the oxygen interference or the hydrocarbon response factors do not meet the following specifications, the airflow shall be incrementally adjusted above and below the manufacturer’s specifications, repeating paragraphs 9.3.7.2 and 9.3.7.3 for each flow.

The optimisation may optionally be conducted using the procedures outlined in SAE paper No 770141.

9.3.7.2.   Hydrocarbon response factors

A linearity verification of the analyser shall be performed using propane in air and purified synthetic air according to paragraph 9.2.1.3.

Response factors shall be determined when introducing an analyser into service and after major service intervals. The response factor (r h) for a particular hydrocarbon species is the ratio of the FID C1 reading to the gas concentration in the cylinder expressed by ppm C1.

The concentration of the test gas shall be at a level to give a response of approximately 80 per cent of full scale. The concentration shall be known to an accuracy of ± 2 per cent in reference to a gravimetric standard expressed in volume. In addition, the gas cylinder shall be preconditioned for 24 hours at a temperature of 298 K ± 5 K (25 °C ± 5 °C).

The test gases to be used and the relative response factor ranges are as follows:

(a)

methane and purified synthetic air

1,00 ≤ r h ≤ 1,15

(b)

propylene and purified synthetic air

0,90 ≤ r h ≤ 1,1

(c)

toluene and purified synthetic air

0,90 ≤ r h ≤ 1,1

These values are relative to a r h of 1 for propane and purified synthetic air.

9.3.7.3.   Oxygen interference check

For raw exhaust gas analysers only, the oxygen interference check shall be performed when introducing an analyser into service and after major service intervals.

A measuring range shall be chosen where the oxygen interference check gases will fall in the upper 50 per cent. The test shall be conducted with the oven temperature set as required. Oxygen interference check gas specifications are found in paragraph 9.3.3.4.

(a)

the analyser shall be set at zero;

(b)

the analyser shall be spanned with the 0 per cent oxygen blend for positive ignition engines. Compression ignition engine instruments shall be spanned with the 21 per cent oxygen blend;

(c)

the zero response shall be rechecked. If it has changed by more than 0,5 per cent of full scale, steps (a) and (b) of this paragraph shall be repeated;

(d)

the 5 per cent and 10 per cent oxygen interference check gases shall be introduced;

(e)

the zero response shall be rechecked. If it has changed by more than ± 1 per cent of full scale, the test shall be repeated;

(f)

the oxygen interference E O2 shall be calculated for each mixture in step (d) as follows:

Formula (73)

with the analyser response being

Formula (74)

where:

c ref,b

is the reference HC concentration in step (b), ppm C

c ref,d

is the reference HC concentration in step (d), ppm C

c FS,b

is the full scale HC concentration in step (b), ppm C

c FS,d

is the full scale HC concentration in step (d), ppm C

c m,b

is the measured HC concentration in step (b), ppm C

c m,d

is the measured HC concentration in step (d), ppm C

(g)

The oxygen interference E O2 shall be less than ±1,5 per cent for all required oxygen interference check gases prior to testing.

(h)

If the oxygen interference E O2 is greater than ±1,5 per cent, corrective action may be taken by incrementally adjusting the airflow above and below the manufacturer’s specifications, the fuel flow and the sample flow.

(i)

The oxygen interference shall be repeated for each new setting.

9.3.8.   Efficiency of the non-methane cutter (NMC)

The NMC is used for the removal of the non-methane hydrocarbons from the sample gas by oxidising all hydrocarbons except methane. Ideally, the conversion for methane is 0 per cent, and for the other hydrocarbons represented by ethane is 100 per cent. For the accurate measurement of NMHC, the two efficiencies shall be determined and used for the calculation of the NMHC emission mass flow rate (see paragraph 8.5.2).

9.3.8.1.   Methane efficiency

Methane calibration gas shall be flown through the FID with and without bypassing the NMC and the two concentrations recorded. The efficiency shall be determined as follows:

Formula (75)

where:

c HC(w/NMC)

is the HC concentration with CH4 flowing through the NMC, ppm C

c HC(w/oNMC)

is the HC concentration with CH4 bypassing the NMC, ppm C

9.3.8.2.   Ethane efficiency

Ethane calibration gas shall be flown through the FID with and without bypassing the NMC and the two concentrations recorded. The efficiency shall be determined as follows:

Formula (76)

where:

c HC(w/NMC)

is the HC concentration with C2H6 flowing through the NMC, ppm C

c HC(w/oNMC)

is the HC concentration with C2H6 bypassing the NMC, ppm C

9.3.9.   Interference effects

Other gases than the one being analysed can interfere with the reading in several ways. Positive interference occurs in NDIR instruments where the interfering gas gives the same effect as the gas being measured, but to a lesser degree. Negative interference occurs in NDIR instruments by the interfering gas broadening the absorption band of the measured gas, and in CLD instruments by the interfering gas quenching the reaction. The interference checks in paragraphs 9.3.9.1 and 9.3.9.3 shall be performed prior to an analyser’s initial use and after major service intervals.

9.3.9.1.   CO analyser interference check

Water and CO2 can interfere with the CO analyser performance. Therefore, a CO2 span gas having a concentration of 80 to 100 per cent of full scale of the maximum operating range used during testing shall be bubbled through water at room temperature and the analyser response recorded. The analyser response shall not be more than 2 per cent of the mean CO concentration expected during testing.

Interference procedures for CO2 and H2O may also be run separately. If the CO2 and H2O levels used are higher than the maximum levels expected during testing, each observed interference value shall be scaled down by multiplying the observed interference by the ratio of the maximum expected concentration value to the actual value used during this procedure. Separate interference procedures concentrations of H2O that are lower than the maximum levels expected during testing may be run, but the observed H2O interference shall be scaled up by multiplying the observed interference by the ratio of the maximum expected H2O concentration value to the actual value used during this procedure. The sum of the two scaled interference values shall meet the tolerance specified in this paragraph.

9.3.9.2.   NOx analyser quench checks for CLD analyser

The two gases of concern for CLD (and HCLD) analysers are CO2 and water vapour. Quench responses to these gases are proportional to their concentrations, and therefore require test techniques to determine the quench at the highest expected concentrations experienced during testing. If the CLD analyser uses quench compensation algorithms that utilise H2O and/or CO2 measurement instruments, quench shall be evaluated with these instruments active and with the compensation algorithms applied.

9.3.9.2.1.   CO2 quench check

A CO2 span gas having a concentration of 80 to 100 per cent of full scale of the maximum operating range shall be passed through the NDIR analyser and the CO2 value recorded as A. It shall then be diluted approximately 50 per cent with NO span gas and passed through the NDIR and CLD, with the CO2 and NO values recorded as B and C, respectively. The CO2 shall then be shut off and only the NO span gas be passed through the (H)CLD and the NO value recorded as D.

The per cent quench shall be calculated as follows:

Formula (77)

where:

A

is the undiluted CO2 concentration measured with NDIR, per cent

B

is the diluted CO2 concentration measured with NDIR, per cent

C

is the diluted NO concentration measured with (H)CLD, ppm

D

is the undiluted NO concentration measured with (H)CLD, ppm

Alternative methods of diluting and quantifying of CO2 and NO span gas values such as dynamic mixing/blending are permitted with the approval of the type approval authority.

9.3.9.2.2.   Water quench check

This check applies to wet gas concentration measurements only. Calculation of water quench shall consider dilution of the NO span gas with water vapour and scaling of water vapour concentration of the mixture to that expected during testing.

A NO span gas having a concentration of 80 per cent to 100 per cent of full scale of the normal operating range shall be passed through the (H) CLD and the NO value recorded as D. The NO span gas shall then be bubbled through water at room temperature and passed through the (H) CLD and the NO value recorded as C. The water temperature shall be determined and recorded as F. The mixture’s saturation vapour pressure that corresponds to the bubbler water temperature (F) shall be determined and recorded as G.

The water vapour concentration (in per cent) of the mixture shall be calculated as follows:

Formula (78)

and recorded as H. The expected diluted NO span gas (in water vapour) concentration shall be calculated as follows:

Formula (79)

and recorded as D e. For diesel exhaust, the maximum exhaust water vapour concentration (in per cent) expected during testing shall be estimated, under the assumption of a fuel H/C ratio of 1,8/1, from the maximum CO2 concentration in the exhaust gas A as follows:

Formula (80)

and recorded as H m

The per cent water quench shall be calculated as follows:

Formula (81)

where:

D e

De is the expected diluted NO concentration, ppm

C

is the measured diluted NO concentration, ppm

H m

is the maximum water vapour concentration, per cent

H

is the actual water vapour concentration, per cent

9.3.9.2.3.   Maximum allowable quench

The combined CO2 and water quench shall not exceed 2 per cent of full scale.

9.3.9.3.   NOx analyser quench check for NDUV analyser

Hydrocarbons and H2O can positively interfere with a NDUV analyser by causing a response similar to NOx. If the NDUV analyser uses compensation algorithms that utilise measurements of other gases to meet this interference verification, simultaneously such measurements shall be conducted to test the algorithms during the analyser interference verification.

9.3.9.3.1.   Procedure

The NDUV analyser shall be started, operated, zeroed, and spanned according to the instrument manufacturer’s instructions. It is recommended to extract engine exhaust to perform this verification. A CLD shall be used to quantify NOx in the exhaust. The CLD response shall be used as the reference value. Also HC shall be measured in the exhaust with a FID analyser. The FID response shall be used as the reference hydrocarbon value.

Upstream of any sample dryer, if used during testing, the engine exhaust shall be introduced into the NDUV analyser. Time shall be allowed for the analyser response to stabilise. Stabilisation time may include time to purge the transfer line and to account for analyser response. While all analysers measure the sample’s concentration, 30 s of sampled data shall be recorded, and the arithmetic means for the three analysers calculated.

The CLD mean value shall be subtracted from the NDUV mean value. This difference shall be multiplied by the ratio of the expected mean HC concentration to the HC concentration measured during the verification, as follows:

Formula (82)

where

c NOx,CLD

is the measured NOx concentration with CLD, ppm

c NOx,NDUV

is the measured NOx concentration with NDUV, ppm

c HC,e

is the expected max. HC concentration, ppm

c HC,e

is the measured HC concentration, ppm

9.3.9.3.2.   Maximum allowable quench

The combined HC and water quench shall not exceed 2 per cent of the NOx concentration expected during testing.

9.3.9.4.   Sample dryer

A sample dryer removes water, which can otherwise interfere with a NOx measurement.

9.3.9.4.1.   Sample dryer efficiency

For dry CLD analysers, it shall be demonstrated that for the highest expected water vapour concentration H m (see paragraph 9.3.9.2.2), the sample dryer maintains CLD humidity at ≤ 5 g water/kg dry air (or about 0,008 per cent H2O), which is 100 per cent relative humidity at 3,9 °C and 101,3 kPa. This humidity specification is also equivalent to about 25 per cent relative humidity at 25 °C and 101,3 kPa. This may be demonstrated by measuring the temperature at the outlet of a thermal dehumidifier, or by measuring humidity at a point just upstream of the CLD. Humidity of the CLD exhaust might also be measured as long as the only flow into the CLD is the flow from the dehumidifier.

9.3.9.4.2.   Sample dryer NO2 penetration

Liquid water remaining in an improperly designed sample dryer can remove NO2 from the sample. If a sample dryer is used in combination with an NDUV analyser without an NO2/NO converter upstream, it could therefore remove NO2 from the sample prior NOx measurement.

The sample dryer shall allow for measuring at least 95 per cent of the total NO2 at the maximum expected concentration of NO2.

9.3.10.   Sampling for raw gaseous emissions, if applicable

The gaseous emissions sampling probes shall be fitted at least 0,5 m or 3 times the diameter of the exhaust pipe — whichever is the larger — upstream of the exit of the exhaust gas system but sufficiently close to the engine as to ensure an exhaust gas temperature of at least 343 K (70 °C) at the probe.

In the case of a multi-cylinder engine with a branched exhaust manifold, the inlet of the probe shall be located sufficiently far downstream so as to ensure that the sample is representative of the average exhaust emissions from all cylinders. In multi-cylinder engines having distinct groups of manifolds, such as in a “Vee” engine configuration, it is recommended to combine the manifolds upstream of the sampling probe. If this is not practical, it is permissible to acquire a sample from the group with the highest CO2 emission. For exhaust emission calculation the total exhaust mass flow shall be used.

If the engine is equipped with an exhaust after-treatment system, the exhaust sample shall be taken downstream of the exhaust after-treatment system.

9.3.11.   Sampling for dilute gaseous emissions, if applicable

The exhaust pipe between the engine and the full flow dilution system shall conform to the requirements laid down in Appendix 3. The gaseous emissions sample probe(s) shall be installed in the dilution tunnel at a point where the diluent and exhaust gas are well mixed, and in close proximity to the particulates sampling probe.

Sampling can generally be done in two ways:

(a)

the emissions are sampled into a sampling bag over the cycle and measured after completion of the test; for HC, the sample bag shall be heated to 464 ± 11 K (191 ± 11 °C), for NOx, the sample bag temperature shall be above the dew point temperature;

(b)

the emissions are sampled continuously and integrated over the cycle.

The background concentration shall be determined upstream of the dilution tunnel according to (a) or (b), and shall be subtracted from the emissions concentration according to paragraph 8.5.2.3.2.

9.4.   Particulate measurement and sampling system

9.4.1.   General specifications

To determine the mass of the particulates, a particulate dilution and sampling system, a particulate sampling filter, a microgram balance, and a temperature and humidity controlled weighing chamber, are required. The particulate sampling system shall be designed to ensure a representative sample of the particulates proportional to the exhaust flow.

9.4.2.   General requirements of the dilution system

The determination of the particulates requires dilution of the sample with filtered ambient air, synthetic air or nitrogen (the diluent). The dilution system shall be set as follows:

(a)

completely eliminate water condensation in the dilution and sampling systems;

(b)

maintain the temperature of the diluted exhaust gas between 315 K (42 °C) and 325 K (52 °C) within 20 cm upstream or downstream of the filter holder(s);

(c)

the diluent temperature shall be between 293 K and 325 K (20 °C to 52 °C) in close proximity to the entrance into the dilution tunnel;

(d)

the minimum dilution ratio shall be within the range of 5:1 to 7:1 and at least 2:1 for the primary dilution stage based on the maximum engine exhaust flow rate;

(e)

for a partial flow dilution system, the residence time in the system from the point of diluent introduction to the filter holder(s) shall be between 0,5 and 5 seconds;

(f)

for a full flow dilution system, the overall residence time in the system from the point of diluent introduction to the filter holder(s) shall be between 1 and 5 seconds, and the residence time in the secondary dilution system, if used, from the point of secondary diluent introduction to the filter holder(s) shall be at least 0,5 seconds.

Dehumidifying the diluent before entering the dilution system is permitted, and especially useful if diluent humidity is high.

9.4.3.   Particulate sampling

9.4.3.1.   Partial flow dilution system

The particulate sampling probe shall be installed in close proximity to the gaseous emissions sampling probe, but sufficiently distant as to not cause interference. Therefore, the installation provisions of paragraph 9.3.10 also apply to particulate sampling. The sampling line shall conform to the requirements laid down in Appendix 3.

In the case of a multi-cylinder engine with a branched exhaust manifold, the inlet of the probe shall be located sufficiently far downstream so as to ensure that the sample is representative of the average exhaust emissions from all cylinders. In multi-cylinder engines having distinct groups of manifolds, such as in a “Vee” engine configuration, it is recommended to combine the manifolds upstream of the sampling probe. If this is not practical, it is permissible to acquire a sample from the group with the highest particulate emission. For exhaust emission calculation the total exhaust mass flow of the manifold shall be used.

9.4.3.2.   Full flow dilution system

The particulate sampling probe shall be installed in close proximity to the gaseous emissions sampling probe, but sufficiently distant as to not cause interference, in the dilution tunnel. Therefore, the installation provisions of paragraph 9.3.11 also apply to particulate sampling. The sampling line shall conform to the requirements laid down in Appendix 3.

9.4.4.   Particulate sampling filters

The diluted exhaust shall be sampled by a filter that meets the requirements of paragraphs 9.4.4.1 to 9.4.4.3 during the test sequence.

9.4.4.1.   Filter specification

All filter types shall have a 0,3 µm DOP (di-octylphthalate) collection efficiency of at least 99 per cent. The filter material shall be either:

(a)

fluorocarbon (PTFE) coated glass fibre, or

(b)

fluorocarbon (PTFE) membrane.

9.4.4.2.   Filter size

The filter shall be circular with a nominal diameter of 47 mm (tolerance of 46,50 ± 0,6 mm) and an exposed diameter (filter stain diameter) of at least 38 mm.

9.4.4.3.   Filter face velocity

The face velocity through the filter shall be between 0,90 and 1,00 m/s with less than 5 per cent of the recorded flow values exceeding this range. If the total PM mass on the filter exceeds 400 µg, the filter face velocity may be reduced to 0,50 m/s. The face velocity shall be calculated as the volumetric flow rate of the sample at the pressure upstream of the filter and temperature of the filter face, divided by the filter’s exposed area.

9.4.5.   Weighing chamber and analytical balance specifications

The chamber (or room) environment shall be free of any ambient contaminants (such as dust, aerosol, or semi-volatile material) that could contaminate the particulate filters. The weighing room shall meet the required specifications for at least 60 min before weighing filters.

9.4.5.1.   Weighing chamber conditions

The temperature of the chamber (or room) in which the particulate filters are conditioned and weighed shall be maintained to within 295 K ± 1 K (22 °C ± 1 °C) during all filter conditioning and weighing. The humidity shall be maintained to a dew point of 282,5 K ± 1 K (9,5 °C ± 1 °C).

If the stabilisation and weighing environments are separate, the temperature of the stabilisation environment shall be maintained at a tolerance of 295 K ± 3 K (22 °C ± 3 °C), but the dew point requirement remains at 282,5 K ± 1 K (9,5 °C ± 1 °C).

Humidity and ambient temperature shall be recorded.

9.4.5.2.   Reference filter weighing

At least two unused reference filters shall be weighed within 12 hours of, but preferably at the same time as the sample filter weighing. They shall be the same material as the sample filters. Buoyancy correction shall be applied to the weighings.

If the weight of any of the reference filters changes between sample filter weighings by more than 10 µg, all sample filters shall be discarded and the emissions test repeated.

The reference filters shall be periodically replaced based on good engineering judgement, but at least once per year.

9.4.5.3.   Analytical balance

The analytical balance used to determine the filter weight shall meet the linearity verification criterion of paragraph 9.2, table 7. This implies a precision (standard deviation) of at least 2 µg and a resolution of at least 1 µg (1 digit = 1 µg).

In order to ensure accurate filter weighing, it is recommended that the balance be installed as follows:

(a)

installed on a vibration-isolation platform to isolate it from external noise and vibration;

(b)

shielded from convective airflow with a static-dissipating draft shield that is electrically grounded.

9.4.5.4.   Elimination of static electricity effects

The filter shall be neutralised prior to weighing, e.g. by a Polonium neutraliser or a device of similar effect. If a PTFE membrane filter is used, the static electricity shall be measured and is recommended to be within ±2,0 V of neutral.

Static electric charge shall be minimised in the balance environment. Possible methods are as follows:

(a)

the balance shall be electrically grounded;

(b)

stainless steel tweezers shall be used if PM samples are handled manually;

(c)

tweezers shall be grounded with a grounding strap, or a grounding strap shall be provided for the operator such that the grounding strap shares a common ground with the balance. Grounding straps shall have an appropriate resistor to protect operators from accidental shock.

9.4.5.5.   Additional specifications

All parts of the dilution system and the sampling system from the exhaust pipe up to the filter holder, which are in contact with raw and diluted exhaust gas, shall be designed to minimise deposition or alteration of the particulates. All parts shall be made of electrically conductive materials that do not react with exhaust gas components, and shall be electrically grounded to prevent electrostatic effects.

9.4.5.6.   Calibration of the flow measurement instrumentation

Each flowmeter used in a particulate sampling and partial flow dilution system shall be subjected to the linearity verification, as described in paragraph 9.2.1, as often as necessary to fulfil the accuracy requirements of this gtr. For the flow reference values, an accurate flowmeter traceable to international and/or national standards shall be used. For differential flow measurement calibration see paragraph 9.4.6.2.

9.4.6.   Special requirements for the partial flow dilution system

The partial flow dilution system has to be designed to extract a proportional raw exhaust sample from the engine exhaust stream, thus responding to excursions in the exhaust stream flow rate. For this it is essential that the dilution ratio or the sampling ratio r d or r s be determined such that the accuracy requirements of paragraph 9.4.6.2 are fulfilled.

9.4.6.1.   System response time

For the control of a partial flow dilution system, a fast system response is required. The transformation time for the system shall be determined by the procedure in paragraph 9.4.6.6. If the combined transformation time of the exhaust flow measurement (see paragraph 8.3.1.2) and the partial flow system is ≤ 0,3 s, online control shall be used. If the transformation time exceeds 0,3 s, look ahead control based on a pre-recorded test run shall be used. In this case, the combined rise time shall be ≤ 1 s and the combined delay time ≤ 10 s.

The total system response shall be designed as to ensure a representative sample of the particulates, q mp,i, proportional to the exhaust mass flow. To determine the proportionality, a regression analysis of q mp,i versus q mew,i shall be conducted on a minimum 5 Hz data acquisition rate, and the following criteria shall be met:

(a)

the coefficient of determination r 2 of the linear regression between q mp,i and q mew,i shall not be less than 0,95;

(b)

the standard error of estimate of q mp,i on q mew,i shall not exceed 5 per cent of q mp maximum;

(c)

q mp intercept of the regression line shall not exceed ± 2 per cent of q mp maximum.

Look-ahead control is required if the combined transformation times of the particulate system, t 50,P and of the exhaust mass flow signal, t 50,F are > 0,3 s. In this case, a pre-test shall be run, and the exhaust mass flow signal of the pre-test be used for controlling the sample flow into the particulate system. A correct control of the partial dilution system is obtained, if the time trace of q mew,pre of the pre-test, which controls q mp, is shifted by a “look-ahead” time of t 50,P + t 50,F.

For establishing the correlation between q mp,i and q mew,i the data taken during the actual test shall be used, with q mew,i time aligned by t50,F relative to q mp,i (no contribution from t 50,P to the time alignment). That is, the time shift between q mew and q mp is the difference in their transformation times that were determined in paragraph 9.4.6.6.

9.4.6.2.   Specifications for differential flow measurement

For partial flow dilution systems, the accuracy of the sample flow q mp is of special concern, if not measured directly, but determined by differential flow measurement:

Formula (83)

In this case, the maximum error of the difference shall be such that the accuracy of q mp is within ± 5 per cent when the dilution ratio is less than 15. It can be calculated by taking root-mean-square of the errors of each instrument.

Acceptable accuracies of q mp can be obtained by either of the following methods:

(a)

the absolute accuracies of q mdew and q mdw are ±0,2 per cent which guarantees an accuracy of q mp of ≤ 5 per cent at a dilution ratio of 15. However, greater errors will occur at higher dilution ratios;

(b)

calibration of q mdw relative to q mdew is carried out such that the same accuracies for q mp as in (a) are obtained. For details see paragraph 9.4.6.2;

(c)

the accuracy of q mp is determined indirectly from the accuracy of the dilution ratio as determined by a tracer gas, e.g. CO2. Accuracies equivalent to method (a) for q mp are required;

(d)

the absolute accuracy of q mdew and q mdw is within ± 2 per cent of full scale, the maximum error of the difference between q mdew and q mdw is within 0,2 per cent, and the linearity error is within ±0,2 per cent of the highest q mdew observed during the test.

9.4.6.3.   Calibration of differential flow measurement

The flowmeter or the flow measurement instrumentation shall be calibrated in one of the following procedures, such that the probe flow q mp into the tunnel shall fulfil the accuracy requirements of paragraph 9.4.6.2:

(a)

The flowmeter for q mdw shall be connected in series to the flowmeter for q mdew, the difference between the two flowmeters shall be calibrated for at least 5 set points with flow values equally spaced between the lowest q mdw value used during the test and the value of q mdew used during the test. The dilution tunnel may be bypassed.

(b)

A calibrated flow device shall be connected in series to the flowmeter for q mdew and the accuracy shall be checked for the value used for the test. The calibrated flow device shall be connected in series to the flowmeter for q mdw, and the accuracy shall be checked for at least 5 settings corresponding to dilution ratio between 3 and 50, relative to q mdew used during the test.

(c)

The transfer tube (TT) shall be disconnected from the exhaust, and a calibrated flow-measuring device with a suitable range to measure q mp shall be connected to the transfer tube. q mdew shall be set to the value used during the test, and q mdw shall be sequentially set to at least 5 values corresponding to dilution ratios between 3 and 50. Alternatively, a special calibration flow path may be provided, in which the tunnel is bypassed, but the total and dilution airflow through the corresponding meters as in the actual test.

(d)

A tracer gas shall be fed into the exhaust transfer tube TT. This tracer gas may be a component of the exhaust gas, like CO2 or NOx. After dilution in the tunnel the tracer gas component shall be measured. This shall be carried out for 5 dilution ratios between 3 and 50. The accuracy of the sample flow shall be determined from the dilution ratio r d:

Formula (84)

The accuracies of the gas analysers shall be taken into account to guarantee the accuracy of q mp.

9.4.6.4.   Carbon flow check

A carbon flow check using actual exhaust is strongly recommended for detecting measurement and control problems and verifying the proper operation of the partial flow system. The carbon flow check should be run at least each time a new engine is installed, or something significant is changed in the test cell configuration.

The engine shall be operated at peak torque load and speed or any other steady state mode that produces 5 per cent or more of CO2. The partial flow sampling system shall be operated with a dilution factor of about 15 to 1.

If a carbon flow check is conducted, the procedure given in Appendix 5 shall be applied. The carbon flow rates shall be calculated according to equations 80 to 82 in Appendix 5. All carbon flow rates should agree to within 3 per cent.

9.4.6.5.   Pre-test check

A pre-test check shall be performed within 2 hours before the test run in the following way.

The accuracy of the flowmeters shall be checked by the same method as used for calibration (see paragraph 9.4.6.2) for at least two points, including flow values of q mdw that correspond to dilution ratios between 5 and 15 for the q mdew value used during the test.

If it can be demonstrated by records of the calibration procedure under paragraph 9.4.6.2 that the flowmeter calibration is stable over a longer period of time, the pre-test check may be omitted.

9.4.6.6.   Determination of the transformation time

The system settings for the transformation time evaluation shall be exactly the same as during measurement of the test run. The transformation time shall be determined by the following method.

An independent reference flowmeter with a measurement range appropriate for the probe flow shall be put in series with and closely coupled to the probe. This flowmeter shall have a transformation time of less than 100 ms for the flow step size used in the response time measurement, with flow restriction sufficiently low as to not affect the dynamic performance of the partial flow dilution system, and consistent with good engineering practice.

A step change shall be introduced to the exhaust flow (or airflow if exhaust flow is calculated) input of the partial flow dilution system, from a low flow to at least 90 per cent of maximum exhaust flow. The trigger for the step change shall be the same one used to start the look-ahead control in actual testing. The exhaust flow step stimulus and the flowmeter response shall be recorded at a sample rate of at least 10 Hz.

From this data, the transformation time shall be determined for the partial flow dilution system, which is the time from the initiation of the step stimulus to the 50 per cent point of the flowmeter response. In a similar manner, the transformation times of the q mp signal of the partial flow dilution system and of the q mew,i signal of the exhaust flowmeter shall be determined. These signals are used in the regression checks performed after each test (see paragraph 9.4.6.1)

The calculation shall be repeated for at least 5 rise and fall stimuli, and the results shall be averaged. The internal transformation time (< 100 ms) of the reference flowmeter shall be subtracted from this value. This is the “look-ahead” value of the partial flow dilution system, which shall be applied in accordance with paragraph 9.4.6.1.

9.5.   Calibration of the CVS system

9.5.1.   General

The CVS system shall be calibrated by using an accurate flowmeter and a restricting device. The flow through the system shall be measured at different restriction settings, and the control parameters of the system shall be measured and related to the flow.

Various types of flowmeters may be used, e.g. calibrated venturi, calibrated laminar flowmeter, calibrated turbine meter.

9.5.2.   Calibration of the positive displacement pump (PDP)

All the parameters related to the pump shall be simultaneously measured along with the parameters related to a calibration venturi which is connected in series with the pump. The calculated flow rate (in m3/s at pump inlet, absolute pressure and temperature) shall be plotted versus a correlation function which is the value of a specific combination of pump parameters. The linear equation which relates the pump flow and the correlation function shall be determined. If a CVS has a multiple speed drive, the calibration shall be performed for each range used.

Temperature stability shall be maintained during calibration.

Leaks in all the connections and ducting between the calibration venturi and the CVS pump shall be maintained lower than 0,3 per cent of the lowest flow point (highest restriction and lowest PDP speed point).

9.5.2.1.   Data analysis

The airflow rate (q vCVS) at each restriction setting (minimum 6 settings) shall be calculated in standard m3/s from the flowmeter data using the manufacturer’s prescribed method. The airflow rate shall then be converted to pump flow (V 0) in m3/rev at absolute pump inlet temperature and pressure as follows:

Formula (85)

where:

q vCVS

is the airflow rate at standard conditions (101,3 kPa, 273 K), m3/s

T

is the temperature at pump inlet, K

p p

is the absolute pressure at pump inlet, kPa

n

is the pump speed, rev/s

To account for the interaction of pressure variations at the pump and the pump slip rate, the correlation function (X 0) between pump speed, pressure differential from pump inlet to pump outlet and absolute pump outlet pressure shall be calculated as follows:

Formula (86)

where:

Δp p

is the pressure differential from pump inlet to pump outlet, kPa

p p

is the absolute outlet pressure at pump outlet, kPa

A linear least-square fit shall be performed to generate the calibration equation as follows:

Formula (87)

D 0 and m are the intercept and slope, respectively, describing the regression lines.

For a CVS system with multiple speeds, the calibration curves generated for the different pump flow ranges shall be approximately parallel, and the intercept values (D 0) shall increase as the pump flow range decreases.

The calculated values from the equation shall be within ±0,5 per cent of the measured value of V 0. Values of m will vary from one pump to another. Particulate influx over time will cause the pump slip to decrease, as reflected by lower values for m. Therefore, calibration shall be performed at pump start-up, after major maintenance, and if the total system verification indicates a change of the slip rate.

9.5.3.   Calibration of the critical flow venturi (CFV)

Calibration of the CFV is based upon the flow equation for a critical venturi. Gas flow is a function of venturi inlet pressure and temperature.

To determine the range of critical flow, K v shall be plotted as a function of venturi inlet pressure. For critical (choked) flow, K v will have a relatively constant value. As pressure decreases (vacuum increases), the venturi becomes unchoked and K v decreases, which indicates that the CFV is operated outside the permissible range.

9.5.3.1.   Data analysis

The airflow rate (q vCVS) at each restriction setting (minimum 8 settings) shall be calculated in standard m3/s from the flowmeter data using the manufacturer’s prescribed method. The calibration coefficient shall be calculated from the calibration data for each setting as follows:

Formula (88)

where:

q vCVS

is the airflow rate at standard conditions (101,3 kPa, 273 K), m3/s

T

is the temperature at the venturi inlet, K

p p

is the absolute pressure at venturi inlet, kPa

The average K V and the standard deviation shall be calculated. The standard deviation shall not exceed ±0,3 per cent of the average K V.

9.5.4.   Calibration of the subsonic venturi (SSV)

Calibration of the SSV is based upon the flow equation for a subsonic venturi. Gas flow is a function of inlet pressure and temperature, pressure drop between the SSV inlet and throat, as shown in equation 43 (see paragraph 8.5.1.4).

9.5.4.1.   Data analysis

The airflow rate (Q SSV) at each restriction setting (minimum 16 settings) shall be calculated in standard m3/s from the flowmeter data using the manufacturer’s prescribed method. The discharge coefficient shall be calculated from the calibration data for each setting as follows:

Formula (89)

where:

Q SSV

is the airflow rate at standard conditions (101,3 kPa, 273 K), m3/s

T

is the temperature at the venturi inlet, K

d V

is the diameter of the SSV throat, m

r p

is the ratio of the SSV throat to inlet absolute static pressure = Formula

r D

is the ratio of the SSV throat diameter, d V, to the inlet pipe inner diameter D

To determine the range of subsonic flow, C d shall be plotted as a function of Reynolds number Re, at the SSV throat. The Re at the SSV throat shall be calculated with the following equation:

Formula (90)

with

Formula (91)

where:

A1

is 25,55152 in SI units of Formula

Q SSV

is the airflow rate at standard conditions (101,3 kPa, 273 K), m3/s

d V

is the diameter of the SSV throat, m

μ

is the absolute or dynamic viscosity of the gas, kg/ms

b

is 1,458 × 106 (empirical constant), kg/ms K0,5

S

is 110,4 (empirical constant), K

Because Q SSV is an input to the Re equation, the calculations shall be started with an initial guess for Q SSV or C d of the calibration venturi, and repeated until Q SSV converges. The convergence method shall be accurate to 0,1 per cent of point or better.

For a minimum of sixteen points in the region of subsonic flow, the calculated values of C d from the resulting calibration curve fit equation shall be within ±0,5 per cent of the measured C d for each calibration point.

9.5.5.   Total system verification

The total accuracy of the CVS sampling system and analytical system shall be determined by introducing a known mass of a pollutant gas into the system while it is being operated in the normal manner. The pollutant is analysed, and the mass calculated according to paragraph 8.5.2.4 except in the case of propane where a u factor of 0,000472 is used in place of 0,000480 for HC. Either of the following two techniques shall be used.

9.5.5.1.   Metering with a critical flow orifice

A known quantity of pure gas (carbon monoxide or propane) shall be fed into the CVS system through a calibrated critical orifice. If the inlet pressure is high enough, the flow rate, which is adjusted by means of the critical flow orifice, is independent of the orifice outlet pressure (critical flow). The CVS system shall be operated as in a normal exhaust emission test for about 5 to 10 minutes. A gas sample shall be analysed with the usual equipment (sampling bag or integrating method), and the mass of the gas calculated.

The mass so determined shall be within ± 3 per cent of the known mass of the gas injected.

9.5.5.2.   Metering by means of a gravimetric technique

The mass of a small cylinder filled with carbon monoxide or propane shall be determined with a precision of ±0,01 g. For about 5 to 10 minutes, the CVS system shall be operated as in a normal exhaust emission test, while carbon monoxide or propane is injected into the system. The quantity of pure gas discharged shall be determined by means of differential weighing. A gas sample shall be analysed with the usual equipment (sampling bag or integrating method), and the mass of the gas calculated.

The mass so determined shall be within ± 3 per cent of the known mass of the gas injected.

APPENDIX 3

MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT

This Appendix contains the basic requirements and the general descriptions of the sampling and analysing systems for gaseous and particulate emissions measurement. Since various configurations can produce equivalent results, exact conformance with the figures of this Appendix is not required. Components such as instruments, valves, solenoids, pumps, flow devices and switches may be used to provide additional information and coordinate the functions of the component systems. Other components which are not needed to maintain the accuracy on some systems may be excluded if their exclusion is based upon good engineering judgement.

A.3.1.1.   Analytical system

A.3.1.2.   Description of the analytical system

Analytical system for the determination of the gaseous emissions in the raw exhaust gas (figure 9) or in the diluted exhaust gas (figure 10) are described based on the use of:

(a)

HFID or FID analyser for the measurement of hydrocarbons;

(b)

NDIR analysers for the measurement of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide;

(c)

HCLD or CLD analyser for the measurement of the oxides of nitrogen.

The sample for all components should be taken with one sampling probe and internally split to the different analysers. Optionally, two sampling probes located in close proximity may be used. Care shall be taken that no unintended condensation of exhaust components (including water and sulphuric acid) occurs at any point of the analytical system.

A.3.1.3.   Components of figures 9 and 10

EP

Exhaust pipe

SP

Raw exhaust gas sampling probe (figure 9 only)

A stainless steel straight closed end multi-hole probe is recommended. The inside diameter shall not be greater than the inside diameter of the sampling line. The wall thickness of the probe shall not be greater than 1 mm. There shall be a minimum of 3 holes in 3 different radial planes sized to sample approximately the same flow. The probe shall extend across at least 80 per cent of the diameter of the exhaust pipe. One or two sampling probes may be used.

SP2

Dilute exhaust gas HC sampling probe (figure 10 only)

The probe shall:

(a)

be defined as the first 254 mm to 762 mm of the heated sampling line HSL1,

(b)

have a 5 mm minimum inside diameter,

(c)

A.3.2.   Dilution and particulate sampling system

A.3.2.1.   Description of partial flow system

A dilution system is described based upon the dilution of a part of the exhaust stream. Splitting of the exhaust stream and the following dilution process may be done by different dilution system types. For subsequent collection of the particulates, the entire dilute exhaust gas or only a portion of the dilute exhaust gas is passed to the particulate sampling system. The first method is referred to as total sampling type, the second method as fractional sampling type. The calculation of the dilution ratio depends upon the type of system used.

With the total sampling system as shown in figure 12, raw exhaust gas is transferred from the exhaust pipe (EP) to the dilution tunnel (DT) through the sampling probe (SP) and the transfer tube (TT). The total flow through the tunnel is adjusted with the flow controller FC2 and the sampling pump (P) of the particulate sampling system (see figure 16). The dilution airflow is controlled by the flow controller FC1, which may use qm ew or qm aw and qm f as command signals, for the desired exhaust split. The sample flow into DT is the difference of the total flow and the dilution airflow. The dilution airflow rate is measured with the flow measurement device FM1, the total flow rate with the flow measurement device FM3 of the particulate sampling system (see figure 16). The dilution ratio is calculated from these two flow rates.

image

With the fractional sampling system as shown in figure 13, raw exhaust gas is transferred from the exhaust pipe EP to the dilution tunnel DT through the sampling probe SP and the transfer tube TT. The total flow through the tunnel is adjusted with the flow controller FC1 connected either to the dilution airflow or to the suction blower for the total tunnel flow. The flow controller FC1 may use qm ew or qm aw and qm f as command signals for the desired exhaust split. The sample flow into DT is the difference of the total flow and the dilution airflow. The dilution airflow rate is measured with the flow measurement device FM1, the total flow rate with the flow measurement device FM2. The dilution ratio is calculated from these two flow rates. From DT, a particulate sample is taken with the particulate sampling system (see figure 16).

The use of flexible sections shall be limited to a length to diameter ratio of 12 or less. Bends shall be minimised to reduce inertial deposition. If the system includes a test bed silencer the silencer may also be insulated.

It shall be equal to or greater than the probe diameter, but not more than 25 mm in diameter, and exiting on the centreline of the dilution tunnel and pointing downstream.

With respect to (a), insulation shall be done with material with a maximum thermal conductivity of 0,05 W/mK with a radial insulation thickness corresponding to the diameter of the probe.

FC1

Flow controller

A flow controller shall be used to control the dilution airflow through the pressure blower PB and/or the suction blower SB. It may be connected to the exhaust flow sensor signals specified in paragraph 8.4.1. The flow controller may be installed upstream or downstream of the respective blower. When using a pressurised air supply, FC1 directly controls the airflow.

Flow measurement device (fractional sampling type, figure 13 only)

Gas meter or other flow instrumentation to measure the diluted exhaust gas flow. FM2 is optional if the suction blower SB is calibrated to measure the flow.

PB

Pressure blower (fractional sampling type, figure 13 only)

To control the dilution airflow rate, PB may be connected to the flow controllers FC1 or FC2. PB is not required when using a butterfly valve. PB may be used to measure the dilution airflow, if calibrated.

SB may be used to measure the diluted exhaust gas flow, if calibrated.

DT

The dilution tunnel:

(a)

shall be of a sufficient length to cause complete mixing of the exhaust and diluent under turbulent flow conditions (Reynolds number, Re, greater than 4 000, where Re is based on the inside diameter of the dilution tunnel) for a fractional sampling system, i.e. complete mixing is not required for a total sampling system,

(b)

shall be constructed of stainless steel,

(c)

may be heated to no greater than 325 K (52 °C) wall temperature,

(d)

may be insulated.

(c)

may be heated to no greater than 325 K (52 °C) wall temperature by direct heating or by diluent pre-heating, provided the diluent temperature does not exceed 325 K (52 °C) prior to the introduction of the exhaust into the dilution tunnel,

A.3.2.3.   Description of full flow dilution system

A dilution system is described based upon the dilution of the total amount of raw exhaust gas in the dilution tunnel DT using the CVS (constant volume sampling) concept, and is shown in figure 15.

The diluted exhaust gas flow rate shall be measured either with a positive displacement pump (PDP), with a critical flow venturi (CFV) or with a subsonic venturi (SSV). A heat exchanger (HE) or electronic flow compensation (EFC) may be used for proportional particulate sampling and for flow determination. Since particulate mass determination is based on the total diluted exhaust gas flow, it is not necessary to calculate the dilution ratio.

For subsequent collection of the particulates, a sample of the dilute exhaust gas shall be passed to the double dilution particulate sampling system (see figure 17). Although partly a dilution system, the double dilution system is described as a modification of a particulate sampling system, since it shares most of the parts with a typical particulate sampling system.

A.3.2.4.   Components of figure 15

EP

Exhaust pipe

The exhaust pipe length from the exit of the engine exhaust manifold, turbocharger outlet or after-treatment device to the dilution tunnel shall be not more than 10 m. If the system exceeds 4 m in length, then all tubing in excess of 4 m shall be insulated, except for an in-line smoke meter, if used. The radial thickness of the insulation shall be at least 25 mm. The thermal conductivity of the insulating material shall have a value no greater than 0,1 W/mK measured at 673 K. To reduce the thermal inertia of the exhaust pipe a thickness-to-diameter ratio of 0,015 or less is recommended.

The gas mixture temperature immediately ahead of the PDP shall be within ±6 K of the average operating temperature observed during the test, when no flow compensation (EFC) is used. Flow compensation is only permitted, if the temperature at the inlet to the PDP does not exceed 323 K (50 °C).

CFV measures total diluted exhaust flow by maintaining the flow at chocked conditions (critical flow). Static exhaust backpressure measured with the CFV system operating shall remain within ±1,5 kPa of the static pressure measured without connection to the CFV at identical engine speed and load. The gas mixture temperature immediately ahead of the CFV shall be within ±11 K of the average operating temperature observed during the test, when no flow compensation (EFC) is used.

SSV

Subsonic venturi

SSV measures total diluted exhaust flow by using the gas flow function of a subsonic venturi in dependence of inlet pressure and temperature and pressure drop between venturi inlet and throat. Static exhaust backpressure measured with the SSV system operating shall remain within ±1,5 kPa of the static pressure measured without connection to the SSV at identical engine speed and load. The gas mixture temperature immediately ahead of the SSV shall be within ±11 K of the average operating temperature observed during the test, when no flow compensation (EFC) is used.

HE

Heat exchanger (optional)

The heat exchanger shall be of sufficient capacity to maintain the temperature within the limits required above. If EFC is used, the heat exchanger is not required.

EFC

Electronic flow compensation (optional)

If the temperature at the inlet to the PDP, CFV or SSV is not kept within the limits stated above, a flow compensation system is required for continuous measurement of the flow rate and control of the proportional sampling into the double dilution system. For that purpose, the continuously measured flow rate signals are used to maintain the proportionality of the sample flow rate through the particulate filters of the double dilution system (see figure 17) within ±2,5 per cent.

DT

Dilution tunnel (full flow)

The dilution tunnel

(a)

shall be small enough in diameter to cause turbulent flow (Reynolds number, Re, greater than 4 000, where Re is based on the inside diameter of the dilution tunnel) and of sufficient length to cause complete mixing of the exhaust and diluent,

(b)

may be insulated,

(c)

may be heated up to a wall temperature sufficient to eliminate aqueous condensation.

The engine exhaust shall be directed downstream at the point where it is introduced into the dilution tunnel, and thoroughly mixed. A mixing orifice may be used.

For the double dilution system, a sample from the dilution tunnel is transferred to the secondary dilution tunnel where it is further diluted, and then passed through the sampling filters (figure 17). The secondary dilution system shall provide sufficient secondary diluent to maintain the doubly diluted exhaust stream at a temperature between 315 K (42 °C) and 325 K (52 °C) immediately before the particulate filter.

The probe is the leading section of PTT and

shall be installed facing upstream at a point where the diluent and exhaust gases are well mixed, i.e. on the dilution tunnel DT centreline of the dilution systems, approximately 10 tunnel diameters downstream of the point where the exhaust enters the dilution tunnel;

(b)

shall be of 8 mm minimum inside diameter;

(c)

may be heated to no greater than 325 K (52 °C) wall temperature by direct heating or by diluent pre-heating, provided the air temperature does not exceed 325 K (52 °C) prior to the introduction of the exhaust in the dilution tunnel;

(d)

may be insulated.

A.3.2.5.   Description of particulate sampling system

The particulate sampling system is required for collecting the particulates on the particulate filter and is shown in figures 16 and 17. In the case of total sampling partial flow dilution, which consists of passing the entire diluted exhaust sample through the filters, the dilution and sampling systems usually form an integral unit (see figure 12). In the case of fractional sampling partial flow dilution or full flow dilution, which consists of passing through the filters only a portion of the diluted exhaust, the dilution and sampling systems usually form different units.

For a partial flow dilution system, a sample of the diluted exhaust gas is taken from the dilution tunnel DT through the particulate sampling probe PSP and the particulate transfer tube PTT by means of the sampling pump P, as shown in figure 16. The sample is passed through the filter holder(s) FH that contain the particulate sampling filters. The sample flow rate is controlled by the flow controller FC3.

For of full flow dilution system, a double dilution particulate sampling system shall be used, as shown in figure 17. A sample of the diluted exhaust gas is transferred from the dilution tunnel DT through the particulate sampling probe PSP and the particulate transfer tube PTT to the secondary dilution tunnel SDT, where it is diluted once more. The sample is then passed through the filter holder(s) FH that contain the particulate sampling filters. The dilution airflow rate is usually constant whereas the sample flow rate is controlled by the flow controller FC3. If electronic flow compensation EFC (see figure 15) is used, the total diluted exhaust gas flow is used as command signal for FC3.

CARBON FLOW CHECK

A.5.1.   Introduction

All but a tiny part of the carbon in the exhaust comes from the fuel, and all but a minimal part of this is manifest in the exhaust gas as CO2. This is the basis for a system verification check based on CO2 measurements.

The flow of carbon into the exhaust measurement systems is determined from the fuel flow rate. The flow of carbon at various sampling points in the emissions and particulate sampling systems is determined from the CO2 concentrations and gas flow rates at those points.

In this sense, the engine provides a known source of carbon flow, and observing the same carbon flow in the exhaust pipe and at the outlet of the partial flow PM sampling system verifies leak integrity and flow measurement accuracy. This check has the advantage that the components are operating under actual engine test conditions of temperature and flow.

Figure 18 shows the sampling points at which the carbon flows shall be checked. The specific equations for the carbon flows at each of the sample points are given below.

A.5.2.   Carbon flow rate into the engine (location 1)

The carbon mass flow rate into the engine for a fuel CH α O ε is given by:

Formula (102)

where:

qm f

is the fuel mass flow rate, kg/s

A.5.3.   Carbon flow rate in the raw exhaust (location 2)

The carbon mass flow rate in the exhaust pipe of the engine shall be determined from the raw CO2 concentration and the exhaust gas mass flow rate:

Formula (103)

where:

c CO2,r

is the wet CO2 concentration in the raw exhaust gas, per cent

c CO2,a

is the wet CO2 concentration in the ambient air, per cent

qm ew

is the exhaust gas mass flow rate on wet basis, kg/s

M e

is the molar mass of exhaust gas, g/mol

If CO2 is measured on a dry basis it shall be converted to a wet basis according to paragraph 8.1.

A.5.4.   Carbon flow rate in the dilution system (location 3)

For the partial flow dilution system, the splitting ratio also needs to be taken into account. The carbon flow rate shall be determined from the dilute CO2 concentration, the exhaust gas mass flow rate and the sample flow rate:

Formula (104)

where:

c CO2,d

is the wet CO2 concentration in the dilute exhaust gas at the outlet of the dilution tunnel, per cent

c CO2,a

is the wet CO2 concentration in the ambient air, per cent

qm ew

is the exhaust gas mass flow rate on wet basis, kg/s

qm p

is the sample flow of exhaust gas into partial flow dilution system, kg/s

M e

is the molar mass of exhaust gas, g/mol

If CO2 is measured on a dry basis, it shall be converted to wet basis according to paragraph 8.1.

A.5.5.   Calculation of the molar mass of the exhaust gas

The molar mass of the exhaust gas shall be calculated according to equation 41 (see paragraph 8.4.2.4)

Alternatively, the following exhaust gas molar masses may be used:

M e (diesel)

=

28,9 g/mol

M e (LPG)

=

28,6 g/mol

M e (NG)

=

28,3 g/mol

A.6.3.   Gaseous emissions (diesel fuel)

The measurement data of an individual point of the test cycle (data sampling rate of 1 Hz) for the calculation of the instantaneous mass emission are shown below. In this example, CO and NOx are measured on a dry basis, HC on a wet basis. The HC concentration is given in propane equivalent (C3) and has to be multiplied by 3 to result in the C1 equivalent. The calculation procedure is identical for the other points of the cycle.

The calculation example shows the rounded intermediate results of the different steps for better illustration. It should be noted that for actual calculation, rounding of intermediate results is not permitted (see paragraph 8).

ANNEX 9C

Technical requirements for assessing the in-use performance of on-board diagnostic systems (OBD)

1.   APPLICABILITY

In its current version, this Annex is only applicable to road-vehicles equipped with a Diesel engine

2.   (Reserved)

3.   DEFINITIONS

3.1.   “In-Use performance ratio”

The in-use performance ratio (IUPR) of a specific monitor m of the OBD system is: IUPRm = Numeratorm / Denominatorm

3.2.   “Numerator”

The numerator of a specific monitor m (Numeratorm) is a counter indicating the number of times a vehicle has been operated such that all monitoring conditions necessary for that specific monitor to detect a malfunction have been encountered.

3.3.   “Denominator”

The denominator of a specific monitor m (Denominatorm) is a counter indicating the number of vehicle driving events, taking into account conditions specific to that specific monitor.

3.4.   “General Denominator”

The general denominator is a counter indicating the number of times a vehicle has been operated, taking into account general conditions.

3.5.   “Ignition cycle counter”

The ignition cycle counter is a counter indicating the number of engine starts a vehicle has experienced.

3.6.   “Engine start”

An engine start consists of ignition-On, cranking and start of combustion, and is completed when the engine speed reaches 150 min–1 below the normal, warmed-up idle speed.

3.7.   “Driving cycle”

A driving cycle means a sequence consisting of an engine start, an operating period, an engine shut-off, and the time until the next engine start.

3.8.   Abbreviations

IUPR

In-Use Performance Ratio

IUPRm

In-Use Performance Ratio of a specific monitor m

4.   GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

The OBD system shall have the capability of tracking and recording in-use performance data (paragraph 6) of the OBD monitors specified in this paragraph, of storing these data in computer memory and communicating them off-board upon request (paragraph 7).

The in-use performance data of a monitor consists of the numerator and denominator enabling the calculation of the IUPR.

4.1.   IUPR monitors

4.1.1.   Groups of monitors

Manufacturers shall implement software algorithms in the OBD system to individually track and report in-use performance data of the groups of monitors mentioned in Appendix 1 of this Annex.

Manufacturers are not required to implement software algorithms in the OBD system to individually track and report in-use performance data of monitors running continuously as defined in paragraph 4.2.3 of Annex 9B if these monitors are already part of one of the groups of monitors mentioned in Appendix 1 of this Annex.

In-use performance data of monitors associated to different exhaust lines or engine banks within a group of monitors shall be tracked and recorded separately as specified in paragraph 6 and reported as specified in paragraph 7.

4.1.2.   Multiple monitors

For each group of monitors which are required to be reported by paragraph 4.1.1, the OBD system shall separately track in-use performance data, as specified in paragraph 6, for each of the specific monitors belonging to that group.

4.2.   Limitation of the use of in-use performance data

In-use performance data of a single vehicle are used for the statistical evaluation of the in-use performance of the OBD system of a larger group of vehicles.

Contrary to other OBD data, in-use performance data cannot be used to draw conclusions concerning the road-worthiness of an individual vehicle.

5.   REQUIREMENTS FOR CALCULATING IN-USE PERFORMANCE RATIOS

5.1.   Calculation of the in-use performance ratio

For each monitor m considered in the present annex, the in-use performance ratio is calculated with the following formula:

IUPRm = Numeratorm / Denominatorm

where the Numeratorm and Denominatorm are incremented according to the specifications of this paragraph.

5.1.1.   Requirements for the ratio when calculated and stored by system

Each IUPRm ratio shall have a minimum value of zero and a maximum value of 7,99527 with a resolution of 0,000122 (18).

A ratio for a specific component shall be considered to be zero whenever the corresponding numerator is equal to zero and the corresponding denominator is not zero.

A ratio for a specific component shall be considered to be the maximum value of 7,99527 if the corresponding denominator is zero or if the actual value of the numerator divided by the denominator exceeds the maximum value of 7,99527.

5.2.   Requirements for incrementing the numerator

The numerator shall not be incremented more than once per driving cycle.

The numerator for a specific monitor shall be incremented within 10 seconds if and only if the following criteria are satisfied on a single driving cycle:

(a)

Every monitoring condition necessary for the monitor of the specific component to detect a malfunction and store a potential DTC has been satisfied, including enable criteria, presence or absence of related DTCs, sufficient length of monitoring time, and diagnostic executive priority assignments (e.g. diagnostic “A” shall execute prior to diagnostic “B”).

Note: For the purpose of incrementing the numerator of a specific monitor, it may not be sufficient to satisfy all the monitoring conditions necessary for that monitor to determine the absence of a malfunction.

(b)

For monitors that require multiple stages or events in a single driving cycle to detect a malfunction, every monitoring condition necessary for all events to have been completed shall be satisfied.

(c)

For monitors which are used for failure identification and that run only after a potential DTC has been stored, the numerator and denominator shall be the same as those of the monitor detecting the original malfunction.

(d)

For monitors that require an intrusive operation to further investigate the presence of a malfunction, the manufacturer may submit to the type approval authority an alternative way to increment the numerator. This alternative should be equivalent to that which would, had a malfunction been present, have permitted to increment the numerator.

For monitors that run or complete during engine-off operation, the numerator shall be incremented within 10 seconds after the monitor has completed during engine-off operation or during the first 10 seconds of engine start on the subsequent driving cycle.

5.3.   Requirements for incrementing the denominator

5.3.1.   General incrementing rules

The denominator shall be incremented once per driving cycle, if during this driving cycle

(a)

the general denominator is incremented as specified in paragraph 5.4, and

(b)

the denominator is not disabled according to paragraph 5.6, and

(c)

6.   REQUIREMENTS FOR TRACKING AND RECORDING IN-USE PERFORMANCE DATA

For each group of monitors listed in Appendix 1 to this Annex, the OBD system shall separately track numerators and denominators for each of the specific monitors listed in Appendix 3 of Annex 9B and belonging to that group.

It shall report only the corresponding numerator and denominator for the specific monitor that has the lowest numerical ratio.

If two or more specific monitors have identical ratios, the corresponding numerator and denominator for the specific monitor that has the highest denominator shall be reported for the specific group of monitors.

In order to determine without bias the lowest ratio of a group, only the monitors specifically mentioned in that group shall be taken into consideration (e.g. a NOx sensor when used to perform one of the monitors listed in Annex 9B, Appendix 3, item 3 “SCR” will be taken into consideration into the “exhaust gas sensor” group of monitors and not in the “SCR” group of monitors).

The OBD system shall also track and report the general denominator and the ignition cycle counter.

Note: according to paragraph 4.1.1, manufacturers are not required to implement software algorithms in the OBD system to individually track and report numerators and denominators of monitors running continuously.

7.   REQUIREMENTS FOR STORING AND COMMUNICATING IN-USE PERFORMANCE DATA

Communication of the in-use performance data is a new use-case and is not included in the three existing use-cases which are dedicated to the presence of possible malfunctions

7.1.   Information about in-use performance data

The information about in-use performance data recorded by the OBD system shall be available upon off-board request according to paragraph 7.2.

This information will provide type approval authorities with in use performance data.

The OBD system shall provide all information (according to the applicable standard set in Appendix 6) for the external IUPR test equipment to assimilate the data and provide an inspector with the following information:

(a)

the VIN (vehicle identification number);

(b)

the numerator and denominator for each group of monitors recorded by the system according to paragraph 6;

(c)

the general denominator;

(d)

the value of the ignition cycle counter;

(e)

the total engine running hours.

This information shall be available through “read-only” access (i.e. no clearing).

7.2.   Access to in-use performance data

Access to in-use performance data shall be provided only in accordance with the standards mentioned in Appendix 6 of Annex 9B and the following sub-paragraphs (21).

Access to the in-use performance data shall not be dependent on any access code or other device or method obtainable only from the manufacturer or its suppliers. Interpretation of the in-use performance data shall not require any unique decoding information, unless that information is publicly available.

The access method (i.e. the access point/node) to in-use performance data shall be the same as the one used to retrieve all OBD information. This method shall permit access to the complete in-use performance data required by this Annex.

7.3.   Reinitialising in-use performance data

7.3.1.   Reset to zero

Each number shall be reset to zero only when a non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) reset occurs (e.g. reprogramming event). Numbers may not be reset to zero under any other circumstances including when a scan tool command to clear fault codes is received.

7.3.2.   Reset in case of memory overflow

If either the numerator or denominator for a specific monitor reaches 65 535 ± 2, both numbers shall be divided by two before either is incremented again to avoid overflow problems.

If the ignition cycle counter reaches the maximum value of 65 535 ± 2, the ignition cycle counter may rollover and increment to zero on the next ignition cycle to avoid overflow problems.

If the general denominator reaches the maximum value of 65 535 ± 2, the general denominator may rollover and increment to zero on the next driving cycle that meets the general denominator definition to avoid overflow problems.

5.2.   World-harmonised Not-To-Exceed limits for gaseous and particulate exhaust emissions

5.2.1.   Exhaust emissions shall not exceed the applicable WNTE emission limits specified in paragraph 5.2.2 when the engine is operated in accordance with the conditions and procedures set out in paragraphs 6 and 7.

5.2.2.   The applicable WNTE emission limits are determined, as follows:

WNTE Emission Limit = WHTC Emission Limit + WNTE Component

Where:

“WHTC Emission Limit”

is the emission limit (EL) to which the engine is certified pursuant to the WHDC gtr; and

“WNTE Component”

is determined by equations 1 to 4 in paragraph 5.2.3.

5.2.3.   The applicable WNTE components shall be determined using the following equations, when the ELs are expressed in g/kWh:

For NOx:

WNTE Component = 0,25 × EL + 0,1

(1)

For HC:

7.   WORLD-HARMONISED NOT-TO-EXCEED METHODOLOGY

7.1.   World-harmonised Not-To-Exceed control area

The WNTE control area consists of the engine speed and load points defined in paragraphs 7.1.1 through 7.1.6. Figure 2 is an example illustration of the WNTE control area.

7.1.1.   Engine speed range

The WNTE control area shall include all operating speeds between the 30th percentile cumulative speed distribution over the WHTC test cycle, including idle, (n30) and the highest speed where 70 per cent of the maximum power occurs (nhi). Figure 3 is an example of the WNTE cumulative speed frequency distribution for a specific engine.

7.1.2.   Engine torque range

The WNTE control area shall include all engine load points with a torque value greater than or equal to 30 per cent of the maximum torque value produced by the engine.

7.1.3.   Engine power range

Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 7.1.1 and 7.1.2, speed and load points below 30 per cent of the maximum power value produced by the engine shall be excluded from the WNTE Control Area for all emissions.

7.1.4.   Application of engine family concept

In principal, any engine within a family with a unique torque/power curve will have its individual WNTE control area. For in-use testing, the individual WNTE control area of the respective engine shall apply. For type approval (certification) testing under the engine family concept of the WHDC gtr the manufacturer may optionally apply a single WNTE control area for the engine family under the following provisions:

(a)

A single engine speed range of the WNTE control area may be used; if the measured engine speeds n30 and nhi are within ±3 per cent of the engine speeds as declared by the manufacturer. If the tolerance is exceeded for any of the engine speeds, the measured engine speeds shall be used for determining the WNTE control area;

(b)

A single engine torque/power range of the WNTE control area may be used, if it covers the full range from the highest to the lowest rating of the family. Alternatively, grouping of engine ratings into different WNTE control areas is permitted.

image

7.1.5.   Compliance exclusion from certain WNTE operating points

The manufacturer may request that the approval authority excludes operating points from the WNTE control area defined in paragraphs 7.1.1 through 7.1.4 during the certification/type approval. The approval authority may grant this exclusion if the manufacturer can demonstrate that the engine is never capable of operating at such points when used in any vehicle combination.

7.2.   Minimum World-harmonised Not-To-Exceed event duration and data sampling frequency

7.2.1.   To determine compliance with the WNTE emissions limits specified paragraph 5.2, the engine shall be operated within the WNTE control area defined in paragraph 7.1 and its emissions shall be measured and integrated over a minimum period of 30 seconds. A WNTE event is defined as a single set of integrated emissions over the period of time. For example, if the engine operates for 65 consecutive seconds within the WNTE control area and ambient conditions this would constitute a single WNTE event and the emissions would be averaged over the full 65 second period. In the case of laboratory testing, the integrating period of time of 7,5 seconds shall apply.

7.2.2.   For engines equipped with emission controls that include periodic regeneration events, if a regeneration event occurs during the WNTE test, then the averaging period shall be at least as long as the time between the events multiplied by the number of full regeneration events within the sampling period. This requirement only applies for engines that send an electronic signal indicating the start of the regeneration event.

7.2.3.   A WNTE event is a sequence of data collected at the frequency of at least 1 Hz during engine operation in the WNTE control area for the minimum event duration or longer. The measured emission data shall be averaged over the duration of each WNTE event.

7.3.   World-harmonised Not-To-Exceed in-use testing

Where the provisions of this Annex are used as basis for in-use testing, the engine shall be operated under actual in-use conditions. The test results out of the total data set that comply with the provisions of paragraphs 6, 7.1 and 7.2 shall be used for determining compliance with the WNTE emission limits specified in paragraph 5.2. It is understood that emission during some WNTE events may not be expected to comply with the WNTE emission limits. Therefore, statistical methods should be defined and implemented for determining compliance that are consistent with paragraphs 7.2 and 7.3.

7.4.   World-harmonised Not-To-Exceed laboratory testing

Where the provisions of this Annex are used as the basis for laboratory testing the following provision shall apply:

7.4.1.   The specific mass emissions of regulated pollutants shall be determined on the basis of randomly defined test points distributed across the WNTE control area. All the test points shall be contained within 3 randomly selected grid cells imposed over the control area. The grid shall comprise of 9 cells for engines with a rated speed less than 3 000 min–1 and 12 cells for engines with a rated speed greater than or equal to 3 000 min–1. The grids are defined as follows:

(a)

The outer boundaries of the grid are aligned to the WNTE control area;

(b)

2 vertical lines spaced at equal distance between engine speeds n30 and nhi for 9 cell grids, or 3 vertical lines spaced at equal distance between engine speeds n30 and nhi for 12 cell grids; and

(c)

2 lines spaced at equal distance of engine torque (1/2) at each vertical line within the WNTE control area.

Examples of the grids applied to specific engines are shown in Figures 5 and 6.

7.4.2.   The 3 selected grid cells shall each include 5 random test points, so a total of 15 random points shall be tested within the WNTE control area. Each cell shall be tested sequentially; therefore all 5 points in one grid cell are tested before transiting to the next grid cell. The test points are combined into a single ramped steady state cycle.

7.4.3.   The order in which each of the grid cells are tested, and the order of testing the points within the grid cell, shall be randomly determined. The 3 grid cells to be tested, the 15 test points, the order of testing the grid cells, and the order of the points within a grid cell shall be selected by the Type Approval or Certification Authority using acknowledged statistical methods of randomisation.

7.4.4.   The average specific mass emissions of regulated gaseous pollutants shall not exceed the WNTE limit values specified in paragraph 5.2 when measured over any of the cycles in a grid cell with 5 test points.

7.4.5.   The average specific mass emissions of regulated particulate pollutants shall not exceed the WNTE limit values specified in paragraph 5.2 when measured over the whole 15 test point cycle.

7.5.   Laboratory test procedure

7.5.1.   After completion of the WHSC cycle, the engine shall be preconditioned at mode 9 of the WHSC for a period of three minutes. The test sequence shall start immediately after completion of the preconditioning phase.

7.5.2.   The engine shall be operated for 2 minutes at each random test point. This time includes the preceding ramp from the previous steady state point. The transitions between the test points shall be linear for engine speed and load and shall last 20 ± 1 seconds.

7.5.3.   The total test time from start until finish shall be 30 minutes. The test of each set of 5 selected random points in a grid cell shall be 10 minutes, measured from the start of the entry ramp to the 1st point until the end of the steady state measurement at the 5th point. Figure 5 illustrates the sequence of the test procedure.

7.5.4.   The WNTE laboratory test shall meet the validation statistics of paragraph 7.7.2 of the WHDC gtr.

7.5.5.   The measurement of the emissions shall be carried out in accordance with paragraph 7.8 of WHDC gtr.

7.5.6.   The calculation of the test results shall be carried out in accordance with paragraph 8 of WHDC gtr.

7.6.   Rounding

Each final test result shall be rounded in one step to the number of places to the right of the decimal point indicated by the applicable WHDC emission standard plus one additional significant figure, in accordance with ASTM E 29-06. No rounding of intermediate values leading to the final brake specific emission result is permitted.

8.   WORLD-HARMONISED NOT-TO-EXCEED DEFICIENCIES

The concept of a deficiency is to allow an engine or vehicle to be certified as compliant with a regulation even though specific requirements, limited in scope, are not fully met. WNTE deficiency provision would allow a manufacturer to apply for relief from the WNTE emission requirements under limited conditions, such as extreme ambient temperatures and/or severe operation where vehicles do not accumulate significant mileage.

9.   WORLD-HARMONISED NOT-TO-EXCEED EXEMPTIONS

The concept of a WNTE exemption is a set of technical conditions under which the WNTE emission limits set out in this Annex would not apply. A WNTE exemption shall apply to all engine and vehicle manufacturers.

It may be decided to provide a WNTE exemption, in particular with the introduction of more stringent emission limits. For example a WNTE exemption may be necessary if the Approval Authority determines that certain engine or vehicle operation within the WNTE control area cannot achieve the WNTE emission limits. In such a case, the Approval Authority may determine that it is not necessary for engine manufacturers to request a WNTE deficiency for such operation, and that the granting of a WNTE exemption is appropriate. The Approval Authority can determine both the scope of the exemption with respect to the WNTE requirements, as well as the period of time for which the exemption is applicable.

10.   STATEMENT OF OFF-CYCLE EMISSION COMPLIANCE

In the application for certification or type approval, the manufacturer shall provide a statement that the engine family or vehicle complies with the requirements of this Annex. In addition to this statement, compliance with the WNTE limits shall be verified through additional tests and certification procedures defined by the Contracting Parties.

10.1.   Example statement of Off-Cycle Emission compliance

The following is an example compliance statement:

“(Name of manufacturer) attests that the engines within this engine family comply with all requirements of this Annex. (Name of manufacturer) makes this statement in good faith, after having performed an appropriate engineering evaluation of the emissions performance of the engines within the engine family over the applicable range of operating and ambient conditions.”

10.2.   Basis for Off-Cycle Emission compliance statement

The manufacturer shall maintain records at the manufacturer’s facility which contain all test data, engineering analyses, and other information which provides the basis for the OCE compliance statement. The manufacturer shall provide such information to the Certification or Type Approval Authority upon request.

11.   DOCUMENTATION

The Approval Authority may decide to require that the manufacturer provides a documentation package. This should describe any element of design and emission control strategy of the engine system and the means by which it controls its output variables, whether that control is direct or indirect.

The information may include a full description of the emission control strategy. In addition, this could include information on the operation of all AES and BES, including a description of the parameters that are modified by any AES and the boundary conditions under which the AES operate, and indication of which AES and BES are likely to be active under the conditions of the test procedures in this Annex.’

(12)  The values quoted in the specification are “true values”. In establishment of their limit values the terms of ISO 4259 “Petroleum products — Determination and application of precision data in relation to methods of test.” have been applied and in fixing a minimum value, a minimum difference of 2R above zero has been taken into account; in fixing a maximum and minimum value, the minimum difference is 4R (R = reproducibility).

Notwithstanding this measure, which is necessary for statistical reasons, the manufacturer of fuels should nevertheless aim at a zero value where the stipulated maximum value is 2R and at the mean value in the case of quotations of maximum and minimum limits. Should it be necessary to clarify the question as to whether a fuel meets the requirements of the specifications, the terms of ISO 4259 should be applied.

(13)  Even though oxidation stability is controlled, it is likely that shelf life will be limited. Advice shall be sought from the supplier as to storage conditions and life.
