of 19 December 2016

supplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to technical and general requirements relating to emission limits and type-approval for internal combustion engines for non-road mobile machinery

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 September 2016 on requirements relating to gaseous and particulate pollutant emission limits and type-approval for internal combustion engines for non-road mobile machinery, amending Regulations (EU) No 1024/2012 and (EU) No 167/2013, and amending and repealing Directive 97/68/EC

(

)

, and in particular Article 24(11), Article 25(4)(a), (b) and (c), Article 26(6), Article 34(9), Article 42(4), Article 43(5) and Article 48 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) In order to complete the framework established by Regulation (EU) 2016/1628, it is necessary to set out the technical and general requirements and test methods relating to emission limits, EU type-approval procedures for internal combustion engines for non-road mobile machinery, arrangements with regard to conformity of production and the requirements and procedures relating to technical services for those engines.

(2) By Council Decision 97/836/EC

(

)

, the Union has acceded to the Agreement of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted to and/or be used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions.

(3) With the aim to ensure that the provisions on the construction of engines to be installed in non-road mobile machinery correspond to the technical progress, the latest versions of CEN/Cenelec or ISO standards which are accessible to the public should be made applicable as regards to certain requirements.

(4) Checks on the conformity of engines with the applicable technical requirements throughout the production process are an essential part of the EU type-approval process. Therefore, checks on the conformity of production procedures should be further improved and aligned with the stricter procedures applicable to road vehicles in order to increase the overall efficiency of the EU type-approval process.

(5) In order to ensure that technical services meet the same high level of performance standards in all Member States, this Regulation should set out the harmonised requirements with which technical services have to comply, as well as the procedure for the assessment of that compliance and for the accreditation of those services.

(6) For the sake of clarity, it is appropriate to align the numbering of test procedures in this Regulation with those in Global Technical Regulation No 11

(

)

and in UNECE Regulation 96

(

)

In the case of engines tested on the NRSC, where the pre-conditioning cycle is inadequate for the engine fuelling to self-adapt an alternative adaption run specified by the manufacturer may be performed prior to pre-conditioning the engine.

2.3.2.1. The manufacturers may test the engine on a third fuel instead of G

(fuel 3) if the λ-shift factor (S

) lies between 0,89 (that is the lower range of G

) and 1,19 (that is the upper range of G

), for example when fuel 3 is a market fuel. The results of this test may be used as a basis for the evaluation of the conformity of the production.

2.3.3. For engines fuelled with natural gas/biomethane, the ratio of the emission results ‘r’ shall be determined for each pollutant as follows:

4.

Product conformity arrangements

4.1. Every engine EU type-approved pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628, this Delegated Regulation, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/655 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/656 shall be so manufactured as to conform to the approved engine type or engine family by meeting the requirements of this Annex, Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 and the abovementioned Delegated and Implementing Regulations.

4.2. Before granting a EU type-approval pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 and the delegated and implementing acts adopted pursuant to that Regulation, the approval authority shall verify the existence of adequate arrangements and documented control plans, to be agreed with the manufacturer for each approval, to carry out at specified intervals those tests or associated checks necessary to verify continued conformity with the approved engine type or engine family, including, where applicable, tests specified in Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 and the delegated and implementing acts adopted pursuant to that Regulation.

4.3. The holder of the EU type-approval shall:

4.3.1.

ensure the existence and application of procedures for effective control of the conformity of engines to the approved engine type or engine family;

4.3.2.

have access to the testing or other appropriate equipment necessary for checking conformity to each approved engine type or engine family;

4.3.3.

ensure that test or check result data are recorded and that annexed documents remain available for a period of up to 10 years to be determined in agreement with the approval authority;

4.3.4.

for engine categories NRSh and NRS, except for NRS-v-2b and NRS-v-3, ensure that for each type of engine, at least the checks and the tests prescribed in Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 and the delegated and implementing acts adopted pursuant to that Regulation are carried out.

4.3.5.

analyse the results of each type of test or check, in order to verify and ensure the stability of the product characteristics, making allowance for variation in industrial production;

4.3.6.

ensure that any set of samples or test pieces giving evidence of non-conformity in the type of test in question gives rise to a further sampling and test or check.

4.4. If the further audit or check results referred to in point 4.3.6 are deemed not to be satisfactory in the opinion of the approval authority, the manufacturer shall ensure that conformity of production is restored as soon as possible by corrective actions to the satisfaction of the approval authority.

5.

Continued verification arrangements

5.1. The authority which has granted EU type-approval may at any time verify the conformity of production control methods applied in each production facility by means of periodic audits. The manufacturer shall for that purpose allow access to the manufacture, inspection, testing, storage and distribution sites and shall provide all necessary information with regard to the quality management system documentation and records.

5.1.1. The normal approach for such periodic audits shall be to monitor the continued effectiveness of the procedures laid down in sections 3 and 4 (initial assessment and product conformity arrangements).

5.1.1.1. Surveillance activities carried out by the technical services (qualified or recognised as required in point 3.3.3) shall be accepted as satisfying the requirements of point 5.1.1 with regard to the procedures established at initial assessment.

5.1.1.2. The minimum frequency of verifications (other than those referred to in point 5.1.1.1) to ensure that the relevant conformity of production controls applied in accordance with sections 3 and 4 are reviewed over a period consistent with the climate of trust established by the approval authority shall be at least once every two years. However, additional verifications shall be carried out by the approval authority depending on the yearly production, the results of previous evaluations, the need to monitor corrective actions and upon a reasoned request from another approval authority or any market surveillance authority.

5.2. At every review, the records of tests, checks and production records, and in particular the records of those tests or checks documented as required in point 4.2, shall be available to the inspector.

5.3. The inspector may select random samples to be tested in the manufacturer's laboratory or in the facilities of the technical service, in which case only physical tests shall be carried out. The minimum number of samples may be determined according to the results of the manufacturer's own verification.

5.4. Where the level of control appears unsatisfactory, or when it seems necessary to verify the validity of the tests carried out in application of point 5.2, or upon a reasoned request from another approval authority or any market surveillance authority, the inspector shall select samples to be tested in the manufacturer's laboratory or sent to the technical service to perform physical tests in accordance with the requirements set out in section 6, in Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 and in the delegated and implementing acts adopted pursuant to that Regulation.

5.5. Where unsatisfactory results are found by the approval authority during an inspection or a monitoring review, or by an approval authority in other Member State, in accordance with Article 39(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1628, the approval authority shall ensure that all necessary steps are taken to restore conformity of production as rapidly as possible.

6.

Conformity of production test requirements in cases of an unsatisfactory level of product conformity control as referred to in point 5.4.

6.1. In case of an unsatisfactory level of product conformity control as referred to in point 5.4 or point 5.5, conformity of production shall be checked by emissions testing on the basis of the description in the EU type-approval certificates set out in Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/656.

6.2. Except otherwise provided in point 6.3, the following procedure shall apply:

6.2.1. Three engines and, if applicable, three after-treatment systems shall randomly be taken for inspection from the series production of the engine type under consideration. Additional engines shall be taken as necessary to reach a pass or fail decision. For reaching a pass decision, a minimum of four engines needs to be tested.

6.2.2. After the inspector's selection of the engines, the manufacturer shall not carry out any adjustment to the engines selected.

6.2.3. Engines shall be subjected to emissions testing in accordance with the requirements of Annex VI, or, in the case of dual fuel engines, in accordance with Appendix 2 of Annex VIII, and shall be subject to the test cycles relevant for the engine type in accordance with Annex XVII.

6.2.4. The limit values shall be those set out in Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628. Where an engine with after-treatment regenerates infrequently as referred to in point 6.6.2 of Annex VI, each gaseous or particulate pollutant emission result shall be adjusted by the factor applicable to the engine type. In all cases each gaseous or particulate pollutant emission result shall be adjusted by application of the appropriate deterioration factors (DFs) for that engine type, as determined in accordance with Annex III.

6.2.5. The tests shall be carried out on newly manufactured engines.

6.2.5.1. At the request of the manufacturer, the tests may be conducted on engines which have been run-in, up either 2 % of the emission durability period or, if this is a shorter period of time, 125 hours. Where the run-in procedure shall be conducted by the manufacturer who shall undertake not to make any adjustments to those engines. Where the manufacturer has specified a run-in procedure in point 3.3 of the information document, as set out in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/656, the run-in shall be conducted using that procedure.

6.2.6. On the basis of tests of the engine by sampling as set out in Appendix 1, the series production of the engines under consideration is regarded as conforming to the approved type where a pass decision is reached for all the pollutants and as non-conforming to the approved type where a fail decision is reached for one pollutant, in accordance with the test criteria applied in Appendix 1, and as shown in Figure 2.1.

6.2.7. When a pass decision has been reached for one pollutant, this decision may not be changed as a consequence of a result from any additional tests made in order to reach a decision for the other pollutants.

If a pass decision is not reached for all the pollutants and no fail decision is reached for any of the pollutant, a test shall be carried out on another engine.

6.2.8. If no decision is reached, the manufacturer may at any time decide to stop testing. In that case a fail decision shall be recorded.

6.3. By derogation from point 6.2.1, the following procedure shall apply for engine types with a sales volume within the EU of less than 100 units per year:

6.3.1.

One engine and, if applicable, one after-treatment system shall be taken randomly for inspection from the series production of the engine type under consideration.

6.3.2.

If the engine meets the requirements outlined in point 6.2.4, a pass decision is reached and no further test is necessary.

6.3.3.

If the test does not satisfy the requirements outlined in point 6.2.4, the procedure outlined in points 6.2.6 to 6.2.9 shall be followed.

6.4. All these tests may be conducted with the applicable market fuels. However, at the manufacturer's request, the reference fuels described in Annex IX shall be used. This implies tests, as described in Appendix 1 of Annex I, with at least two of the reference fuels for each gaseous-fuelled engine, except in the case of a gaseous-fuelled engine with a fuel-specific EU type-approval where only one reference fuel is required. Where more than one gaseous reference fuel is used the results shall demonstrate that the engine meets the limit values with each fuel.

6.5. Non-compliance of gaseous-fuelled engines

In the case of dispute concerning compliance of gaseous-fuelled engines, including dual-fuel engines, when using a market fuel, the tests shall be performed with each reference fuel on which the parent engine has been tested, and, at the request of the manufacturer, with the possible additional third fuel, as referred to in points 2.3.1.1.1, 2.3.2.1 and 2.4.1.2 of Annex I, on which the parent engine may have been tested. When applicable, the result shall be converted by a calculation, applying the relevant factors ‘

’, ‘

’ or ‘

’ as described in points 2.3.3, 2.3.4.1 and 2.4.1.3 of Annex I. If

are less than 1, no correction shall take place. The measured results and, when applicable, the calculated results shall demonstrate that the engine meets the limit values with all relevant fuels (for example fuels 1, 2 and, if applicable, the third fuel in the case of natural gas/bio-methane engines, and fuels A and B in the case of LPG engines).

Appendix 1

Procedure for production conformity testing

This appendix describes the procedure to be used to verify production conformity for the emissions of pollutants.

With a minimum sample size of three engines, the sampling procedure shall be set out so that the probability of a lot passing a test with 30 % of the engines defective is 0,90 (producer's risk = 10 %) while the probability of a lot being accepted with 65 % of the engines defective is 0,10 (consumer's risk = 10 %).

The following procedure is used for each of the emission pollutants (see Figure 2.1):

Let

= the current sample number.

Determine for the sample the test statistic quantifying the cumulative number of nonconforming tests at the n

test.

Then:

(a) If the test statistic is less than or equal to the pass decision number for the sample size given in Table 2.1, a pass decision shall be reached for the pollutant;

(b) If the test statistic is greater than or equal to the fail decision number for the sample size given in Table 2.1, a fail decision shall be reached for the pollutant;

(c) Otherwise, an additional engine is tested in accordance with point 6.2 and the calculation procedure shall be applied to the sample increased by one more unit.

In Table 2.1 the pass and fail decision numbers shall be calculated by means of the International Standard ISO 8422/1991.

General

2.1. This Annex details the procedures for selecting engines to be tested over a service accumulation schedule for the purpose of determining deterioration factors for engine type or engine family EU type-approval and conformity of production assessments. The deterioration factors shall be applied to the emissions measured in accordance with Annex VI and calculated in accordance with Annex VII in accordance with the procedure set out in point 3.2.7 or point 4.3, respectively.

2.2. The service accumulation tests or the emissions tests performed to determine deterioration need not be witnessed by the approval authority.

2.3. This Annex also details the emission-related and non-emission-related maintenance that should be or may be carried out on engines undergoing a service accumulation schedule. Such maintenance shall conform to the maintenance performed on in-service engines and communicated to the end-users of new engines.

3.

Engine categories NRE, NRG, IWP, IWA, RLL, RLR, SMB, ATS and sub-categories NRS-v-2b and NRS-v-3

3.1. Selection of engines for establishing emission durability period deterioration factors

3.1.1. Engines shall be selected from the engine family defined in section 2 of Annex IX to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/656 for emission testing to establish emission durability period deterioration factors.

3.1.2. Engines from different engine families may be further combined into families based on the type of exhaust after-treatment system utilised. In order to place engines with a different cylinder configuration but having similar technical specifications and installation for the exhaust after-treatment systems into the same engine after-treatment system family, the manufacturer shall provide data to the approval authority that demonstrates that the emissions reduction performance of such engines is similar.

3.1.3. The engine manufacturer shall select one engine representing the engine-after-treatment system family, as determined in accordance with point 3.1.2, for testing over the service accumulation schedule referred to in point 3.2.2, and shall be reported to the approval authority before any testing commences.

3.1.4. If the approval authority decides that the worst case emissions of the engine-after-treatment system family can be better characterised by another test engine, the test engine to be used shall be selected jointly by the approval authority and the engine manufacturer.

3.2. Determination of emission durability period deterioration factors

3.2.1. General

Deterioration factors applicable to an engine-after-treatment system family shall be developed from the selected engines based on a service accumulation schedule that includes periodic testing for gaseous and particulate emissions over each test cycle applicable to the engine category, as given in Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628. In the case of non-road transient test cycles for engines of category NRE (‘NRTC’), only the results of the hot-start run of the NRTC (‘hot-start NRTC’) shall be used.

3.2.1.1. At the request of the manufacturer, the approval authority may allow the use of deterioration factors that have been established using alternative procedures to those specified in points 3.2.2 to 3.2.5. In that case, the manufacturer shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the approval authority that the alternative procedures used are not less rigorous than those set out in points 3.2.2 to 3.2.5.

3.2.2. Service accumulation schedule

Service accumulation schedules may be carried out at the choice of the manufacturer by running a non-road mobile machinery equipped with the selected engine over an ‘in-service’ accumulation schedule or by running the selected engine over a ‘dynamometer service’ accumulation schedule. The manufacturer shall not be required to use reference fuel for the service accumulation in-between emission measurement test points.

3.2.2.1. In-service and dynamometer service accumulation

3.2.2.1.1. The manufacturer shall determine the form and duration of the service accumulation and the ageing cycle for engines in a manner consistent with good engineering judgment.

3.2.2.1.2. The manufacturer shall determine the test points where gaseous and particulate emissions will be measured over the applicable cycles, as follows:

3.2.2.1.2.1.

When running a service accumulation schedule shorter than the emission durability period in accordance with point 3.2.2.1.7, the minimum number of test points shall be three, one at the beginning, one approximately in the middle and one at the end of the service accumulation schedule.

3.2.2.1.2.2.

When completing the service accumulation up to the end of the emission durability period, the minimum number of test points shall be two, one at the beginning and one at the end of the service accumulation.

3.2.2.1.2.3.

The manufacturer may additionally test at evenly spaced intermediate points.

3.2.2.1.3. The emission values at the start point and at the emission durability period endpoint either calculated in accordance with point 3.2.5.1 or measured directly in accordance with point 3.2.2.1.2.2, shall be within the limit values applicable to the engine family. However individual emission results from the intermediate test points may exceed those limit values.

3.2.2.1.4. For engine categories or sub-categories to which a NRTC applies, or for engines category or sub-categories NRS to which a large spark-ignition engines non-road transient test cycles (‘LSI-NRTC’) applies, the manufacturer may request the agreement of the approval authority to run only one test cycle (either the hot-start NRTC or LSI-NRTC, as applicable, or NRSC) at each test point, and to run the other test cycle only at the beginning and at the end of the service accumulation schedule.

3.2.2.1.5. In the case of engine categories or sub-categories for which there is no applicable non-road transient cycle given in Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628, only the NRSC shall be run at each test point.

3.2.2.1.6. Service accumulation schedules may be different for different engine-after-treatment system families.

3.2.2.1.7. Service accumulation schedules may be shorter than the emission durability period, but shall not be shorter than the equivalent of at least one quarter of the relevant emission durability period specified in Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628.

3.2.2.1.8. Accelerated ageing by adjusting the service accumulation schedule on a fuel consumption basis is permitted. The adjustment shall be based on the ratio between the typical in-use fuel consumption and the fuel consumption on the ageing cycle, but fuel consumption on the ageing cycle shall not exceed typical in-use fuel consumption by more than 30 %.

3.2.2.1.9. The manufacturer may use, if agreed by the approval authority, alternative methods of accelerated ageing.

3.2.2.1.10. The service accumulation schedule shall be fully described in the application for EU type-approval and reported to the approval authority before the start of any testing.

3.2.2.2. If the approval authority decides that additional measurements need to be performed between the points selected by the manufacturer it shall notify the manufacturer. The revised service accumulation schedule shall be prepared by the manufacturer and agreed by the approval authority.

3.2.3. Engine testing

3.2.3.1. Engine stabilisation

3.2.3.1.1. For each engine-after-treatment system family, the manufacturer shall determine the number of hours of non-road mobile machinery or engine running after which the operation of the engine-after-treatment system has stabilised. If requested by the approval authority the manufacturer shall make available the data and analysis used to make this determination. As an alternative, the manufacturer may run the engine or non-road mobile machinery between 60 and 125 hours or the equivalent time on the ageing cycle to stabilise the engine-after-treatment system.

3.2.3.1.2. The end of the stabilisation period determined in point 3.2.3.1.1 shall be deemed to be the start of the service accumulation schedule.

3.2.3.2. Service accumulation testing

3.2.3.2.1. After stabilisation, the engine shall be run over the service accumulation schedule selected by the manufacturer, as described in point 3.2.2. At the periodic intervals in the service accumulation schedule determined by the manufacturer, and, where applicable, decided by the approval authority in accordance with point 3.2.2.2, the engine shall be tested for gaseous and particulate emissions over the hot-start NRTC and NRSC, or LSI-NRTC and NRSC applicable to the engine category, as set out in Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628.

The manufacturer may select to measure the pollutant emissions before any exhaust after-treatment system separately from the pollutant emissions after any exhaust after-treatment system.

In accordance with point 3.2.2.1.4, if it has been agreed that only one test cycle (hot-start NRTC, LSI-NRTC or NRSC) be run at each test point, the other test cycle (hot-start NRTC, LSI-NRTC or NRSC) shall be run at the beginning and at the end of the service accumulation schedule.

In accordance with point 3.2.2.1.5, in the case of engine categories or sub-categories for which there is no applicable non-road transient cycle given in Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628, only the NRSC shall be run at each test point.

3.2.3.2.2. During the service accumulation schedule, maintenance shall be carried out on the engine in accordance with point 3.4.

3.2.3.2.3. During the service accumulation schedule, unscheduled maintenance on the engine or non-road mobile machinery may be performed, for example if the manufacturer's normal diagnostic system has detected a problem that would have indicated to the non-road mobile machinery operator that a fault had arisen.

3.2.4. Reporting

3.2.4.1. The results of all emission tests (hot-start NRTC, LSI-NRTC and NRSC) conducted during the service accumulation schedule shall be made available to the approval authority. If an emission test is declared to be void, the manufacturer shall provide reasons why the test has been declared void. In such a case, another series of emission tests shall be carried out within the following 100 hours of service accumulation.

3.2.4.2. The manufacturer shall retain records of all information concerning all the emission tests and maintenance carried out on the engine during the service accumulation schedule. This information shall be submitted to the approval authority along with the results of the emission tests conducted over the service accumulation schedule.

3.2.5. Determination of deterioration factors

3.2.5.1. When running a service accumulation schedule in accordance with point 3.2.2.1.2.1 or point 3.2.2.1.2.3, for each pollutant measured over the hot-start NRTC, LSI-NRTC and NRSC at each test point during the service accumulation schedule, a ‘best fit’ linear regression analysis shall be made on the basis of all test results. The results of each test for each pollutant shall be expressed to the same number of decimal places as the limit value for that pollutant, as applicable to the engine family, plus one additional decimal place.

Where in accordance with point 3.2.2.1.4 or point 3.2.2.1.5, only one test cycle (hot-start NRTC, LSI-NRTC or NRSC) has been run at each test point, the regression analysis shall be made only on the basis of the test results from the test cycle run at each test point.

The manufacturer may request the prior approval of the approval authority for a non-linear regression.

3.2.5.2. The emission values for each pollutant at the start of the service accumulation schedule and at the emission durability period end point that is applicable for the engine under test shall be either:

(a) determined by extrapolation of the regression equation in point 3.2.5.1, when running a service accumulation schedule in accordance with point 3.2.2.1.2.1 or point 3.2.2.1.2.3, or

(b) measured directly, when running a service accumulation schedule in accordance with point 3.2.2.1.2.2.

Where emission values are used for engine families in the same engine-after-treatment family but with different emission durability periods, then the emission values at the emission durability period end point shall be recalculated for each emission durability period by extrapolation or interpolation of the regression equation as determined in point 3.2.5.1.

3.2.5.3. The deterioration factor (DF) for each pollutant is defined as the ratio of the applied emission values at the emission durability period end point and at the start of the service accumulation schedule (multiplicative deterioration factor).

The manufacturer may request the prior approval of the approval authority for the application of an additive DF for each pollutant may be applied. The additive DF is defined as the difference between the calculated emission values at the emission durability period end point and at the start of the service accumulation schedule.

An example for determination of DFs by using linear regression is shown in Figure 3.1 for NO

emission.

Mixing of multiplicative and additive DFs within one set of pollutants is not permitted.

If the calculation results in a value of less than 1,00 for a multiplicative DF, or less than 0,00 for an additive DF, then the deterioration factor shall be 1,0 or 0,00, respectively.

In accordance with point 3.2.2.1.4, if it has been agreed that only one test cycle (hot-start NRTC, LSI-NRTC or NRSC) be run at each test point and the other test cycle (hot-start NRTC, LSI-NRTC or NRSC) run only at the beginning and end of the service accumulation schedule, the deterioration factor calculated for the test cycle that has been run at each test point shall be applicable also for the other test cycle.

3.2.6. Assigned deterioration factors

3.2.6.1. As an alternative to using a service accumulation schedule to determine DFs, engine manufacturers may select to use assigned multiplicative DFs, as given in Table 3.1.

Table 3.1

Assigned deterioration factors

Test cycle	CO	HC	NOx	PM	PN
NRTC and LSI-NRTC	1,3	1,3	1,15	1,05	1,0
NRSC	1,3	1,3	1,15	1,05	1,0

Assigned additive DFs shall not be given. The assigned multiplicative DFs shall not be transformed into additive DFs.

For PN, either an additive DF of 0,0 or a multiplicative DF of 1,0 may be used, in conjunction with the results of previous DF testing that did not establish a value for PN if both of the following conditions are fulfilled:

(a) the previous DF test was conducted on engine technology that would have qualified for inclusion in the same engine after-treatment system family, as set out in point 3.1.2, as the engine family to which it is intended to apply the DFs; and,

(b) the test results were used in a previous type-approval granted before the applicable EU type-approval date given in Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628.

3.2.6.2. Where assigned DFs are used, the manufacturer shall present to the approval authority robust evidence that the emission control components can reasonably be expected to have the emission durability associated with those assigned factors. This evidence may be based upon design analysis, or tests, or a combination of both.

3.2.7. Application of deterioration factors

3.2.7.1. The engines shall meet the respective emission limits for each pollutant, as applicable to the engine family, after application of the deterioration factors to the test result as measured in accordance with Annex VI (cycle-weighted specific emission for particulate and each individual gas). Depending on the type of DF, the following provisions apply:

(a) Multiplicative: (cycle weighted specific emission) × DF ≤ emission limit

(b) Additive: (cycle weighted specific emission) + DF ≤ emission limit

Cycle weighted specific emission may include the adjustment for infrequent regeneration, where applicable.

3.2.7.2. For a multiplicative NO

+ HC DF, separate HC and NO

DFs shall be determined and applied separately when calculating the deteriorated emission levels from an emissions test result before combining the resultant deteriorated NO

and HC values to establish compliance with the emission limit.

3.2.7.3. The manufacturer may carry across the DFs determined for an engine-after-treatment system family to an engine that does not fall into the same engine-after-treatment system family. In such cases, the manufacturer shall demonstrate to the approval authority that the engine for which the engine-after-treatment system family was originally tested and the engine for which the DFs are being carried across have similar technical specifications and installation requirements on the non-road mobile machinery and that the emissions of such engine are similar.

Where DFs are carried across to an engine with a different emission durability period, the DFs shall be recalculated for the applicable emission durability period by extrapolation or interpolation of the regression equation as determined in point 3.2.5.1.

3.2.7.4. The DF for each pollutant for each applicable test cycle shall be recorded in the test report set out in Appendix 1 of Annex VI to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/656.

3.3. Checking of conformity of production

3.3.1. Conformity of production for emissions compliance is checked on the basis of Section 6 of Annex II.

3.3.2. The manufacturer may measure the pollutant emissions before any exhaust after-treatment system at the same time as the EU type-approval test is being performed. For that purpose, the manufacturer may develop informal DFs separately for the engine without after-treatment system and for the after-treatment system that may be used by the manufacturer as an aid to end of production line auditing.

3.3.3. For the purposes of EU type-approval, only the DFs determined in accordance with point 3.2.5 or 3.2.6 shall be recorded in the test report set out in Appendix 1 of Annex VI to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/656.

3.4. Maintenance

For the purpose of the service accumulation schedule, maintenance shall be performed in accordance with the manufacturer's manual for service and maintenance.

3.4.1. Scheduled emission-related maintenance

3.4.1.1. Scheduled emission-related maintenance during engine running, undertaken for the purpose of conducting a service accumulation schedule, shall occur at equivalent intervals to those that are specified in the manufacturer's maintenance instructions to the end-user of the non-road mobile machinery or engine. This schedule maintenance may be updated as necessary throughout the service accumulation schedule provided that no maintenance operation is deleted from the maintenance schedule after the operation has been performed on the test engine.

3.4.1.2. Any adjustment, disassembly, cleaning or exchange of critical emission-related components which is performed on a periodic basis within the emission durability period to prevent malfunction of the engine, shall only be done to the extent that is technologically necessary to ensure proper functioning of the emission control system. The need for scheduled exchange, within the service accumulation schedule and after a certain running time of the engine, of critical emission-related components other than those qualifying as routine exchange items shall be avoided. In this context, consumable maintenance items for regular renewal or items that require cleaning after a certain running time of the engine, shall qualify as routine exchange items.

3.4.1.3. Any scheduled maintenance requirements shall be subject to approval by the approval authority before an EU type-approval is granted and shall be included in the customer's manual. The approval authority shall not refuse to approve maintenance requirements that are reasonable and technically necessary, including but not limited to those identified in point 1.6.1.4.

3.4.1.4. The engine manufacturer shall specify for the service accumulation schedules any adjustment, cleaning, maintenance (where necessary) and scheduled exchange of the following items:

— filters and coolers in the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)

— positive crankcase ventilation valve, if applicable

— fuel injector tips (only cleaning is permitted)

— fuel injectors

— turbocharger

— electronic engine control unit and its associated sensors and actuators

— particulate after-treatment system (including related components)

— NO

after-treatment system (including related components)

— exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), including all related control valves and tubing

— any other exhaust after-treatment system.

3.4.1.5. Scheduled critical emission-related maintenance shall only be performed if it is required to be performed in-use and that requirement is communicated to the end-user of the engine or non-road mobile machinery.

3.4.2. Changes to scheduled maintenance

The manufacturer shall submit a request to the approval authority for approval of any new scheduled maintenance that it wishes to perform during the service accumulation schedule and subsequently to recommend to end-users of non-road mobile machinery and engines. The request shall be accompanied by data supporting the need for the new scheduled maintenance and the maintenance interval.

3.4.3. Non-emission-related scheduled maintenance

Non-emission-related scheduled maintenance which is reasonable and technically necessary (for example oil change, oil filter change, fuel filter change, air filter change, cooling system maintenance, idle speed adjustment, governor, engine bolt torque, valve lash, injector lash, adjustment of the tension of any drive-belt, etc.) may be performed on engines or non-road mobile machinery selected for the service accumulation schedule at the least frequent intervals recommended by the manufacturer to the end-user (for example not at the intervals recommended for severe service).

3.5. Repair

3.5.1. Repairs to the components of an engine selected for testing over a service accumulation schedule shall be performed only as a result of component failure or engine malfunction. Repair of the engine itself, the emission control system or the fuel system is not permitted except to the extent defined in point 3.5.2.

3.5.2. If the engine, its emission control system or its fuel system fails during the service accumulation schedule, the service accumulation shall be considered void, and a new service accumulation shall be started with a new engine.

The previous paragraph shall not apply when the failed components are replaced with equivalent components that have been subject to a similar number of hours of service accumulation.

4.

Engine categories and sub-categories NRSh and NRS, except for NRS-v-2b and NRS-v-3

4.1. The applicable EDP category and corresponding deterioration factor (DF) shall be determined in accordance with this section 4.

4.2. An engine family shall be considered as compliant with the limit values required for an engine sub-category when the emissions test results of all engines representing the engine family, once adjusted by multiplication by the DF laid down in section 2, are lower than or equal to the limit values required for that engine sub-category. However, where one or more emission test results of one or more engines representing the engine family, once adjusted by multiplication by the DF laid down in section 2, are higher than one or more single emission limit values required for that engine sub-category, the engine family shall be considered not compliant with the limit values required for that engine sub-category.

4.3. DFs shall be determined as follows:

4.3.1.

On at least one test engine representing the configuration chosen to be the most likely to exceed HC + NO

emission limits, and constructed to be representative of production engines, the (full) test procedure emission testing shall be conducted as described in Annex VI after the number of hours representing stabilised emissions.

4.3.2.

If more than one engine is tested, the results shall be calculated as the average of the results for all the engines tested, rounded to the same number of decimal places as in the applicable limit, expressed to one additional significant figure.

4.3.3.

Such emission testing shall be conducted again following ageing of the engine. The ageing procedure should be designed to allow the manufacturer to appropriately predict the in-use emission deterioration expected over the EDP of the engine, taking into account the type of wear and other deterioration mechanisms expected under typical consumer use which could affect emissions performance. If more than one engine is tested, the results shall be calculated as the average of the results for all the engines tested, rounded to the same number of decimal places contained in the applicable limit, expressed to one additional significant figure.

4.3.4.

The emissions at the end of the EDP (average emissions, if applicable) for each regulated pollutant shall be divided by the stabilised emissions (average emissions, if applicable) and rounded to two significant figures. The resulting number shall be the DF, unless it is less than 1,00, in which case the DF shall be 1,00.

4.3.5.

The manufacturer may schedule additional emission test points between the stabilised emission test point and the end of the EDP. If intermediate tests are scheduled, the test points shall be evenly spaced over the EDP (plus or minus two hours) and one such test point shall be at one half of full EDP (plus or minus two hours).

4.3.6.

For each pollutant HC + NO

and CO, a straight line must be fitted to the data points treating the initial test as occurring at hour zero, and using the method of least-squares. The DF is the calculated emission at the end of the durability period divided by the calculated emission at zero hours.

The DF for each pollutant for the applicable test cycle shall be recorded in the test report set out in Appendix 1 of Annex VII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/656.

4.3.7.

Calculated deterioration factors may cover families in addition to the one on which they were generated if the manufacturer submits a justification acceptable to the approval authority in advance of EU type-approval that the affected engine families can be reasonably expected to have similar emission deterioration characteristic based on the design and technology used.

A non-exclusive list of design and technology groupings is given below:

— conventional two-stroke engines without after-treatment system,

— conventional two-stroke engines with a catalyst of the same active material and loading, and the same number of cells per cm

— stratified scavenging two-stroke engines,

— stratified scavenging two-stroke engines with a catalyst of the same active material and loading, and the same number of cells per cm

— four-stroke engines with catalyst with same valve technology and identical lubrication system,

— four-stroke engines without catalyst with the same valve technology and identical lubrication system.

4.4. EDP categories

4.4.1. For those engine categories in Table V-3 or V-4 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 that have alternative values for EDP, manufacturers shall declare the applicable EDP category for each engine family at the time of EU type-approval. Such category shall be the category from Table 3.2 which most closely approximates the expected useful lives of the equipment into which the engines are expected to be installed as determined by the engine manufacturer. Manufacturers shall retain data appropriate to support their choice of EDP category for each engine family. Such data shall be supplied to the approval authority upon request.

Table 3.2

EDP categories

EDP Category	Application of Engine
Cat 1	Consumer products
Cat 2	Semi-professional products
Cat 3	Professional products

4.4.2. The manufacturer shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the approval authority that the declared EDP category is appropriate. Data to support a manufacturer's choice of EDP category, for a given engine family, may include but are not limited to:

— surveys of the life spans of the equipment in which the subject engines are installed,

— engineering evaluations of field aged engines to ascertain when engine performance deteriorates to the point where usefulness and/or reliability is impacted to a degree sufficient to necessitate overhaul or replacement,

— warranty statements and warranty periods,

— marketing materials regarding engine life,

— failure reports from engine customers, and

— engineering evaluations of the durability, in hours, of specific engine technologies, engine materials or engine designs.

Introduction

This Appendix sets out the additional requirements to ensure the correct operation of NO

control measures. It includes requirements for engines that rely on the use of a reagent in order to reduce emissions. The EU type-approval shall be made conditional upon the application of the relevant provisions on operator instruction, installation documents, operator warning system, inducement system and reagent freeze protection that are set out in this Appendix.

2.

General requirements

The engine shall be equipped with a NO

Control Diagnostic system (NCD) able to identify the NO

control malfunctions (NCMs). Any engine covered by this section 2 shall be designed, constructed and installed so as to be capable of meeting these requirements throughout the normal life of the engine under normal conditions of use. In achieving this objective it is acceptable that engines which have been used in excess of the emission durability period as specified in Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 show some deterioration in the performance and the sensitivity of the NO

Control Diagnostic system (NCD), such that the thresholds specified in this Annex may be exceeded before the warning and/or inducement systems are activated.

2.3.2.2.1. The reagent tank and dosing system shall be soaked at 255 K (– 18 °C) for 72 hours or until the reagent becomes solid, whichever occurs first.

2.3.2.2.2. After the soak period set out in point 2.3.2.2.1, the non-road mobile machinery/engine shall be started and operated at 266 K (– 7 °C) ambient temperature or lower as follows:

(a) 10 to 20 minutes idling; followed by

(b) up to 50 minutes at no more than 40 % of rated load.

2.3.2.2.3. At the conclusion of the test procedure set out in point 2.3.2.2.2, the reagent dosing system shall be fully functional.

2.3.2.3. Evaluation of the design criteria may be performed in a cold chamber test cell using an entire non-road mobile machinery or parts representative of those to be installed on a non-road mobile machinery or based on field tests.

2.3.3. Activation of the operator warning and inducement system for a non-heated system

2.4. Diagnostic requirements

2.4.1 The NO

Control Diagnostic system (NCD) shall be able to identify the NO

control malfunctions (NCMs) by means of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in the computer memory and to communicate that information off-board upon request.

2.4.2.1 The NCD system shall record a DTC for each distinct NO

Control Malfunction (NCM).

2.4.2.2 The NCD system shall conclude within 60 minutes of engine operation whether a detectable malfunction is present. At this time, a ‘confirmed and active’ DTC shall be stored and the warning system be activated according to section 4.

2.4.2.3 In cases where more than 60 minutes running time is required for the monitors to accurately detect and confirm a NCM (e.g. monitors using statistical models or with respect to fluid consumption on the non-road mobile machinery), the approval authority may permit a longer period for monitoring provided the manufacturer justifies the need for the longer period (for example by technical rationale, experimental results, in house experience, etc.).

2.4.3. Requirements for erasing Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)

(a) DTCs shall not be erased by the NCD system itself from the computer memory until the failure related to that DTC has been remedied.

(b) The NCD system may erase all the DTCs upon request of a proprietary scan or maintenance tool that is provided by the engine manufacturer upon request, or using a pass code provided by the engine manufacturer.

2.4.4. An NCD system shall not be programmed or otherwise designed to partially or totally deactivate based on age of the non-road mobile machinery during the actual life of the engine, nor shall the system contain any algorithm or strategy designed to reduce the effectiveness of the NCD system over time.

2.4.5. Any reprogrammable computer codes or operating parameters of the NCD system shall be resistant to tampering.

2.4.6. NCD engine family

The manufacturer is responsible for determining the composition of an NCD engine family. Grouping engines within an NCD engine family shall be based on good engineering judgment and be subject to approval by the approval authority.

Engines that do not belong to the same engine family may still belong to the same NCD engine family.

2.4.6.1. Parameters defining an NCD engine family

An NCD engine family is characterized by basic design parameters that shall be common to engines within the family.

In order that engines are considered to belong to the same NCD engine family, the following list of basic parameters shall be similar:

(a) emission control systems;

(b) methods of NCD monitoring;

(d) monitoring parameters (e.g. frequency).

These similarities shall be demonstrated by the manufacturer by means of relevant engineering demonstration or other appropriate procedures and subject to the approval of the approval authority.

The manufacturer may request approval by the approval authority of minor differences in the methods of monitoring/diagnosing the NCD system due to engine configuration variation, when these methods are considered similar by the manufacturer and they differ only in order to match specific characteristics of the components under consideration (for example size, exhaust gas flow, etc.); or their similarities are based on good engineering judgment.

3.

Maintenance requirements

3.1. The manufacturer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to all end-users of new engines or machines written instructions about the emission control system and its correct operation in accordance with Annex XV.

4.

Operator warning system

4.1. The non-road mobile machinery shall include an operator warning system using visual alarms that informs the operator when a low reagent level, incorrect reagent quality, interruption of dosing or a malfunction specified in section 9 has been detected that will lead to activation of the operator inducement system if not rectified in a timely manner. The warning system shall remain active when the operator inducement system described in section 5 has been activated.

4.2. The warning shall not be the same as the warning used for the purposes of malfunction or other engine maintenance, though it may use the same warning system.

4.3. The operator warning system may consist of one or more lamps, or display short messages, which may include, for example, messages indicating clearly:

(a) the remaining time before activation of the low-level and/or severe inducements,

(b) the amount of low-level and/or severe inducement, for example the amount of torque reduction,

Where messages are displayed, the system used for displaying these messages may be the same as the one used for other maintenance purposes.

4.4. At the choice of the manufacturer, the warning system may include an audible component to alert the operator. The cancelling of audible warnings by the operator is permitted.

4.5. The operator warning system shall be activated as specified in points 2.3.3.1, 6.2, 7.2, 8.4, and 9.3 respectively.

5.

Operator inducement system

5.1. The engine shall incorporate an operator inducement system based on one of the following principles:

5.1.1.

a two-stage inducement system starting with a low-level inducement (performance restriction) followed by a severe inducement (effective disablement of non-road mobile machinery operation);

5.1.2.

a one-stage severe inducement system (effective disablement of non-road mobile machinery operation) activated under the conditions of a low-level inducement system as specified in points 6.3.1, 7.3.1, 8.4.1, and 9.4.1.

Where the manufacturer elects to shut down the engine to fulfil the requirement for one-stage severe inducement then the inducement for reagent level may, at the choice of the manufacturer, be activated under the conditions of point 6.3.2 instead of the conditions of point 6.3.1.

5.2. The engine may be fitted with a means to disable the operator inducement on condition that it complies with the requirements of point 5.2.1.

5.2.1 The engine may be fitted with a means to temporarily disable the operator inducement during an emergency declared by a national or regional government, their emergency services or their armed services.

5.2.1.1 All of the following conditions shall apply when a means to temporarily disable the operator inducement in an emergency is fitted to an engine:

(a) The maximum operating period for which the inducement may be disabled by the operator shall be 120 hours;

(b) The method of activation shall be designed to prevent accidental operation by requiring a double voluntary action and shall be clearly marked, at a minimum, with the warning ‘EMERGENCY USE ONLY’;

(c) The disablement shall de-activate automatically after the 120 hours has expired, and there shall be a means for the operator to manually de-activate the disablement if the emergency has ended;

(d) After the 120 hours of operation has expired it shall no longer be possible to disable the inducement unless the means to disable has been re-armed by the input of a manufacturer's temporary security code, or re-configuration of the engine's ECU by a qualified service technician, or an equivalent security feature that is unique to each engine;

(e) The total number and duration of activations of the disablement must be stored in non-volatile electronic memory or counters in a manner to ensure that the information cannot be intentionally deleted. It shall be possible for national inspection authorities to read these records with a scan tool;

(f) The manufacturer shall maintain a record of each request to re-arm the means to temporarily disable the operator inducement and shall make those records available to Commission or national authorities upon request.

5.3. Low-level inducement system

5.3.1. The low-level inducement system shall be activated after any of the conditions specified in points 6.3.1, 7.3.1, 8.4.1, and 9.4.1 has occurred.

5.3.2. The low-level inducement system shall gradually reduce the maximum available engine torque across the engine speed range by at least 25 % between the peak torque speed and the governor breakpoint as shown in Figure 4.1. The rate of torque reduction shall be a minimum of 1 % per minute.

5.3.3. Other inducement measures that are demonstrated to the approval authority as having the same or greater level of severity may be used.

5.4.2. The severe inducement system shall reduce the non-road mobile machinery's utility to a level that is sufficiently onerous as to cause the operator to remedy any problems related to sections 6 to 9. The following strategies are acceptable:

5.4.2.1.

Engine torque between the peak torque speed and the governor breakpoint shall be gradually reduced from the low-level inducement torque in Figure 4.1 by a minimum of 1 % per minute to 50 % of maximum torque or lower and for variable-speed engines the engine speed shall be gradually reduced to 60 % of rated speed or lower within the same time period as the torque reduction, as shown in Figure 4.2.

Figure 4.2

Severe inducement torque reduction scheme

5.4.2.2.

Other inducement measures that are demonstrated to the approval authority as having the same or greater level of severity may be used.

5.5. In order to account for safety concerns and to allow for self-healing diagnostics, use of an inducement override function for releasing full engine power is permitted provided it

(a) is active for no longer than 30 minutes; and

(b) is limited to 3 activations during each period that the operator inducement system is active.

5.6. The operator inducement system shall be deactivated when the conditions for its activation have ceased to exist. The operator inducement system shall not be automatically deactivated without the reason for its activation having been remedied.

5.8. As part of the application for EU type-approval under this Regulation, the manufacturer shall demonstrate the operation of the operator inducement system, as specified in section 11.

6.

Reagent availability

6.1. Reagent level indicator

The non-road mobile machinery shall include an indicator that clearly informs the operator of the level of reagent in the reagent storage tank. The minimum acceptable performance level for the reagent indicator is that it shall continuously indicate the reagent level whilst the operator warning system referred to in section 4 is activated. The reagent indicator may be in the form of an analogue or digital display, and may show the level as a proportion of the full tank capacity, the amount of remaining reagent, or the estimated operating hours remaining.

6.2. Activation of the operator warning system

6.2.1. The operator warning system specified in section 4 shall be activated when the level of reagent goes below 10 % of the capacity of the reagent tank or a higher percentage at the choice of the manufacturer.

6.2.2. The warning provided shall be sufficiently clear, in conjunction with the reagent indicator, for the operator to understand that the reagent level is low. When the warning system includes a message display system, the visual warning shall display a message indicating a low level of reagent. (for example ‘urea level low’, ‘AdBlue level low’, or ‘reagent low’).

6.2.3. The operator warning system does not initially need to be continuously activated (for example a message does not need to be continuously displayed), however activation shall escalate in intensity so that it becomes continuous as the level of the reagent approaches empty and the point where the operator inducement system will come into effect is approached (for example frequency at which a lamp flashes). It shall culminate in an operator notification at a level that is at the choice of the manufacturer, but sufficiently more noticeable at the point where the operator inducement system in point 6.3 comes into effect than when it was first activated.

6.2.4. The continuous warning shall not be easily disabled or ignored. When the warning system includes a message display system, an explicit message shall be displayed (for example ‘fill up urea’, ‘fill up AdBlue’, or ‘fill up reagent’). The continuous warning may be temporarily interrupted by other warning signals providing important safety related messages.

6.2.5. It shall not be possible to turn off the operating warning system until the reagent has been replenished to a level not requiring its activation.

6.3 Activation of the operator inducement system

6.3.1 The low-level inducement system described in point 5.3 shall be activated if the reagent tank level goes below 2,5 % of its nominally full capacity or a higher percentage at the choice of the manufacturer.

6.3.2. The severe inducement system described in point 5.4 shall be activated if the reagent tank is empty, that is, when the dosing system is unable to draw further reagent from the tank, or at any level below 2,5 % of its nominally full capacity at the discretion of the manufacturer.

6.3.3. Except to the extent permitted by point 5.5, it shall not be possible to turn off the low-level or severe inducement system until the reagent has been replenished to a level not requiring their respective activation.

7.

Reagent quality monitoring

7.1. The engine or non-road mobile machinery shall include a means of determining the presence of an incorrect reagent on board a non-road mobile machinery.

7.1.1. The manufacturer shall specify a minimum acceptable reagent concentration CD

min

, which results in tailpipe NO

emissions not exceeding the lower of either the applicable NO

limit multiplied by 2,25 or the applicable NO

limit plus 1,5 g/kWh. For engine sub-categories with a combined HC and NO

limit, the applicable NO

limit value for the purpose of this point shall be the combined limit value for HC and NO

reduced by 0,19 g/kWh.

7.1.1.1. The correct value of CD

min

shall be demonstrated during EU type-approval by the procedure defined in section 13 and recorded in the extended documentation package as specified in section 8 of Annex I.

7.1.2. Any reagent concentration lower than CD

min

shall be detected and be regarded, for the purpose of point 7.1, as being incorrect reagent.

7.1.3. A specific counter (‘the reagent quality counter’) shall be attributed to the reagent quality. The reagent quality counter shall count the number of engine operating hours with an incorrect reagent.

7.1.3.1. Optionally, the manufacturer may group the reagent quality failure together with one or more of the failures listed in sections 8 and 9 into a single counter.

7.1.4. Details of the reagent quality counter activation and deactivation criteria and mechanisms are described in section 11.

7.2. Activation of the operator warning system

When the monitoring system confirms that the reagent quality is incorrect, the operator warning system described in section 4 shall be activated. When the warning system includes a message display system, it shall display a message indicating the reason of the warning (for example ‘incorrect urea detected’, ‘incorrect AdBlue detected’, or ‘incorrect reagent detected’).

7.3 Activation of the operator inducement system

7.3.1. The low-level inducement system described in point 5.3 shall be activated if the reagent quality is not rectified within a maximum of 10 engine operating hours after the activation of the operator warning system as described in point 7.2.

7.3.2. The severe inducement system described in point 5.4 shall be activated if the reagent quality is not rectified within a maximum of 20 engine operating hours after the activation of the operator warning system as described in point 7.2.

7.3.3. The number of hours prior to activation of the inducement systems shall be reduced in case of a repetitive occurrence of the malfunction according to the mechanism described in section 11.

8.

Reagent dosing activity

8.1 The engine shall include a means of determining interruption of dosing.

8.2. Reagent dosing activity counter

8.2.1. A specific counter shall be attributed to the dosing activity (the ‘dosing activity counter’). The counter shall count the number of engine operating hours which occur with an interruption of the reagent dosing activity. This is not required where such interruption is demanded by the engine ECU because the non-road mobile machinery operating conditions are such that the non-road mobile machinery's emission performance does not require reagent dosing.

8.2.1.1. Optionally, the manufacturer may group the reagent dosing failure together with one or more of the failures listed in sections 7 and 9 into a single counter.

8.2.2. Details of the reagent dosing activity counter activation and deactivation criteria and mechanisms are described in section 11.

8.3. Activation of the operator warning system

The operator warning system described in section 4 shall be activated in the case of interruption of dosing which sets the dosing activity counter in accordance with point 8.2.1. When the warning system includes a message display system, it shall display a message indicating the reason of the warning (e.g. ‘urea dosing malfunction’, ‘AdBlue dosing malfunction’, or ‘reagent dosing malfunction’).

8.4. Activation of the operator inducement system

8.4.1. The low-level inducement system described in point 5.3 shall be activated if an interruption in reagent dosing is not rectified within a maximum of 10 engine operating hours after the activation of the operator warning system in accordance with point 8.3.

8.4.2. The severe inducement system described in point 5.4 shall be activated if an interruption in reagent dosing is not rectified within a maximum of 20 engine operating hours after the activation of the operator warning system in accordance with point 8.3.

8.4.3. The number of hours prior to activation of the inducement systems shall be reduced in case of a repetitive occurrence of the malfunction according to the mechanism described in section 11.

9.

Monitoring failures that may be attributed to tampering

9.1. In addition to the level of reagent in the reagent tank, the reagent quality, and the interruption of dosing, the following failures shall be monitored because they may be attributed to tampering:

(a) impeded exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve;

(b) failures of the NO

Control Diagnostic (NCD) system, as described in point 9.2.1.

9.2. Monitoring requirements

9.2.1. The NO

Control Diagnostic (NCD) system shall be monitored for electrical failures and for removal or deactivation of any sensor that prevents it from diagnosing any other failures set out in sections 6 to 8 (component monitoring).

A non-exhaustive list of sensors that affect the diagnostic capability are those directly measuring NO

concentration, urea quality sensors, ambient sensors and sensors used for monitoring reagent dosing activity, reagent level, or reagent consumption.

9.2.2. EGR valve counter

9.2.2.1. A specific counter shall be attributed to an impeded EGR valve. The EGR valve counter shall count the number of engine operating hours when the DTC associated to an impeded EGR valve is confirmed to be active.

9.2.2.1.1. Optionally, the manufacturer may group the impeded EGR valve failure together with one or more of the failures listed in sections 7, 8 and point 9.2.3 into a single counter.

9.2.2.2. Details of the EGR valve counter activation and deactivation criteria and mechanisms are described in section 11.

9.2.3. NCD system counter(s)

9.2.3.1. A specific counter shall be attributed to each of the monitoring failures considered in point 9.1(b). The NCD system counters shall count the number of engine operating hours when the DTC associated to a malfunction of the NCD system is confirmed to be active. Grouping of several faults into a single counter is permitted.

9.2.3.1.1. Optionally, the manufacturer may group the NCD system failure together with one or more of the failures listed in sections 7, 8 and point 9.2.2 into a single counter.

9.2.3.2. Details of the NCD system counter(s) activation and deactivation criteria and mechanisms are described in section 11.

9.3. Activation of the operator warning system

The operator warning system set out in section 4 shall be activated in case any of the failures specified in point 9.1 occur, and shall indicate that an urgent repair is required. When the warning system includes a message display system, it shall display a message indicating either the reason of the warning (for example ‘reagent dosing valve disconnected’, or ‘critical emission failure’).

9.4. Activation of the operator inducement system

9.4.1. The low-level inducement system described in point 5.3 shall be activated if a failure specified in point 9.1 is not rectified within a maximum of 36 engine operating hours after the activation of the operator warning system set out in point 9.3.

9.4.2. The severe inducement system described in point 5.4 shall be activated if a failure specified in point 9.1 is not rectified within a maximum of 100 engine operating hours after the activation of the operator warning system set out in point 9.3.

9.4.3. The number of hours prior to activation of the inducement systems shall be reduced in case of a repetitive occurrence of the malfunction according to the mechanism described in section 11.

9.5. As an alternative to the requirements set out in point 9.2, the manufacturer may use a NO

sensor located in the exhaust system. In this case,

(a) the NO

value shall not exceed the lower of either the applicable NO

limit multiplied by 2,25 or the applicable NO

limit plus 1,5 g/kWh. For engine sub-categories with a combined HC and NO

limit, the applicable NO

limit value for the purpose of this point shall be the combined limit value for HC and NO

reduced by 0,19 g/kWh.

(b) use of a single failure ‘high NO

— root cause unknown’ may be used,

(d) point 9.4.2 shall read ‘within 20 engine hours’.

10.

Demonstration requirements

(a) a demonstration of the warning system activation;

(b) a demonstration of the low level inducement system activation, if applicable;

10.2. Engine families and NCD engine families

The compliance of an engine family or an NCD engine family with the requirements of this section 10 may be demonstrated by testing one of the members of the considered family, provided the manufacturer demonstrates to the approval authority that the monitoring systems necessary for complying with the requirements of this Appendix are similar within the family.

10.2.1. The demonstration that the monitoring systems for other members of the NCD family are similar may be performed by presenting to the approval authorities such elements as algorithms, functional analyses, etc.

10.2.2. The test engine is selected by the manufacturer in agreement with the approval authority. It may or may not be the parent engine of the considered family.

10.3. Demonstration of the warning system activation

10.3.1. The compliance of the warning system activation shall be demonstrated by performing two tests: lack of reagent, and one failure category considered in sections 7 to 9.

10.3.2. Selection of the failures to be tested

10.3.2.1. For the purpose of demonstrating the activation of the warning system in case of a wrong reagent quality, a reagent shall be selected with a dilution of the active ingredient at least as dilute as that communicated by the manufacturer according to the requirements set out in section 7.

10.3.2.2. For the purpose of demonstrating the activation of the warning system in case of failures that may be attributed to tampering, and are defined in section 9 the selection shall be performed according to the following requirements:

10.3.2.2.1.

The manufacturer shall provide the approval authority with a list of such potential failures.

10.3.2.2.2.

The failure to be considered in the test shall be selected by the approval authority from this list referred to in point 10.3.2.2.1.

10.3.3. Demonstration

10.3.3.1. For the purpose of this demonstration, a separate test shall be performed for each of the failures considered in point 10.3.1.

10.3.3.2. During a test, no failure shall be present other than the one addressed by the test.

10.3.3.3. Prior to starting a test, all DTC shall have been erased.

10.3.3.4. At the request of the manufacturer, and with the agreement of the approval authority, the failures subject to testing may be simulated.

10.3.3.5. Detection of failures other than lack of reagent.

For failures other than lack of reagent, once the failure installed or simulated, the detection of that failure shall be performed as follows:

10.3.3.5.1.

The NCD system shall respond to the introduction of a failure selected as appropriate by the approval authority in accordance to the provisions of this Appendix. This is considered to be demonstrated if activation occurs within two consecutive NCD test-cycles according to point 10.3.3.7.

When it has been specified in the monitoring description and agreed by the approval authority that a specific monitor needs more than two NCD test-cycles to complete its monitoring, the number of NCD test-cycles may be increased to 3 NCD test-cycles.

Each individual NCD test-cycle in the demonstration test may be separated by an engine shut-off. The time until the next start-up shall take into consideration any monitoring that may occur after engine shut-off and any necessary condition that must exist for monitoring to occur at the next start up.

10.3.3.5.2.

The demonstration of the warning system activation is deemed to be accomplished if, at the end of each demonstration test performed according to point 10.3.2.1, the warning system has been properly activated and the DTC for the selected failure has got the ‘confirmed and active’ status.

10.3.3.6. Detection in case of lack of reagent availability

For the purpose of demonstrating the activation of the warning system in case of lack of reagent availability, the engine shall be operated over one or more NCD test cycles at the discretion of the manufacturer.

10.3.3.6.1. The demonstration shall start with a level of reagent in the tank to be agreed between the manufacturer and the approval authority but representing not less than 10 % of the nominal capacity of the tank.

10.3.3.6.2. The warning system is deemed to have performed in the correct manner if the following conditions are met simultaneously:

(a) the warning system has been activated with a reagent availability greater or equal to 10 % of the capacity of the reagent tank; and

(b) the ‘continuous’ warning system has been activated with a reagent availability greater or equal to the value declared by the manufacturer in accordance with the provisions of section 6.

10.3.3.7. NCD test cycle

10.3.3.7.1 The NCD test cycle considered in this section 10 for demonstrating the correct performance of the NCD system is the hot-start NRTC cycle for engines of sub-category NRE-v-3, NRE-v-4, NRE-v-5 NRE-v-6 and the applicable NRSC for all other categories.

10.3.3.7.2 On request of the manufacturer and with approval of the approval authority, an alternative NCD test-cycle can be used (e.g. other than the NTRC or the NRSC) for a specific monitor. The request shall contain elements (technical considerations, simulation, test results, etc.) demonstrating:

(a) the requested test-cycle results in a monitor that will run in real world operations; and

(b) the applicable NCD test-cycle specified in point 10.3.3.7.1 is shown to be less appropriate for the considered monitoring.

10.3.4. The demonstration of the warning system activation is deemed to be accomplished if, at the end of each demonstration test performed according to point 10.3.3, the warning system has been properly activated.

10.4. Demonstration of the inducement system

10.4.1. The demonstration of the inducement system shall be done by tests performed on an engine test bench.

10.4.1.1. Any components or sub-systems not physically mounted on the engine, such as, but not limited to, ambient temperature sensors, level sensors, and operator warning and information systems, that are required in order to perform the demonstrations shall be connected to the engine for that purpose, or shall be simulated, to the satisfaction of the approval authority.

10.4.1.2. If the manufacturer chooses, and subject to the agreement of the approval authority, the demonstration tests may be performed on a complete non-road mobile machinery or machinery either by mounting the non-road mobile machinery on a suitable test bed or, notwithstanding point 10.4.1, by running it on a test track under controlled conditions.

10.4.2. The test sequence shall demonstrate the activation of the inducement system in case of lack of reagent and in case of one of the failures defined in sections 7, 8, or 9.

10.4.3. For the purpose of this demonstration,

(a) the approval authority shall select, in addition to the lack of reagent, one of the failures defined in sections 7, 8 or 9 that has been previously used in the demonstration of the warning system,

(b) the manufacturer shall, in agreement with the approval authority, be permitted to accelerate the test by simulating the achievement of a certain number of operating hours,

(c) the achievement of the torque reduction required for low-level inducement may be demonstrated at the same time as the general engine performance approval process performed in accordance with this Regulation. Separate torque measurement during the inducement system demonstration is not required in this case,

(d) the severe inducement shall be demonstrated according to the requirements of point 10.4.6.

10.4.4. The manufacturer shall, in addition, demonstrate the operation of the inducement system under those failure conditions defined in sections 7, 8 or 9 which have not been chosen for use in demonstration tests described in points 10.4.1 to 10.4.3.

These additional demonstrations may be performed by presentation to the approval authority of a technical case using evidence such as algorithms, functional analyses, and the result of previous tests.

10.4.4.1. These additional demonstrations shall in particular demonstrate to the satisfaction of the approval authority the inclusion of the correct torque reduction mechanism in the engine ECU.

10.4.5. Demonstration test of the low-level inducement system

10.4.5.1. This demonstration starts when the warning system or when appropriate ‘continuous’ warning system has been activated as a result of the detection of a failure selected by the approval authority.

10.4.5.2. When the system is being checked for its reaction to the case of lack of reagent in the tank, the engine shall be run until the reagent availability has reached a value of 2,5 % of the tank nominal full capacity of the tank or the value declared by the manufacturer in accordance with point 6.3.1 at which the low-level inducement system is intended to operate.

10.4.5.2.1. The manufacturer may, with the agreement of the approval authority, simulate continuous running by extracting reagent from the tank, either whilst the engine is running or is stopped.

10.4.5.3. When the system is checked for its reaction in the case of a failure other than a lack of reagent in the tank, the engine shall be run for the relevant number of operating hours indicated in Table 4.3 or, at the choice of the manufacturer, until the relevant counter has reached the value at which the low-level inducement system is activated.

10.4.5.4. The demonstration of the low level inducement system shall be deemed to be accomplished if, at the end of each demonstration test performed according to points 10.4.5.2 and 10.4.5.3, the manufacturer has demonstrated to the approval authority that the engine ECU has activated the torque reduction mechanism.

10.4.6. Demonstration test of the severe inducement system

10.4.6.1. This demonstration shall start from a condition where the low-level inducement system has been previously activated and may be performed as a continuation of the tests undertaken to demonstrate the low-level inducement system.

10.4.6.2. When the system is checked for its reaction in the case of lack of reagent in the tank, the engine shall be run until the reagent tank is empty, or has reached the level below 2,5 % of nominal full capacity of the tank at which the manufacturer has declared to activate the severe inducement system.

10.4.6.2.1. The manufacturer may, with the agreement of the approval authority, simulate continuous running by extracting reagent from the tank, either whilst the engine is running or is stopped.

10.4.6.3. When the system is checked for its reaction in the case of a failure that is not a lack of reagent in the tank, the engine shall then be run for the relevant number of operating hours indicated in Table 4.4 or, at the choice of the manufacturer, until the relevant counter has reached the value at which the severe inducement system is activated.

10.4.6.4. The demonstration of the severe inducement system shall be deemed to be accomplished if, at the end of each demonstration test performed according to points 10.4.6.2 and 10.4.6.3, the manufacturer has demonstrated to the approval authority that the severe inducement mechanism considered in this Appendix has been activated.

10.4.7. Alternatively, if the manufacturer chooses, and subject to the agreement of the approval authority, the demonstration of the inducement mechanisms may be performed on a complete non-road mobile machinery in accordance with the requirements of points 5.4 and 10.4.1.2, either by mounting the non-road mobile machinery on a suitable test bed or by running it on a test track under controlled conditions.

10.4.7.1. The non-road mobile machinery shall be operated until the counter associated with the selected failure has reached the relevant number of operating hours indicated in Table 4.4 or, as appropriate, until either the reagent tank is empty or, has reached the level below 2,5 % of nominal full capacity of the tank at which the manufacturer has chosen to activate the severe inducement system.

Description of the operator warning and inducement activation and deactivation mechanisms

11.1 To complement the requirements specified in this Appendix concerning the warning and inducement activation and deactivation mechanisms, this section 11 specifies the technical requirements for an implementation of those activation and deactivation mechanisms.

11.2. Activation and deactivation mechanisms of the warning system

11.2.1. The operator warning system shall be activated when the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) associated with a NCM justifying its activation has the status defined in Table 4.2.

Table 4.2

Activation of the operator warning system

Failure type	DTC status for activation of the warning system
Poor reagent quality	confirmed and active
Interruption of dosing	confirmed and active
Impeded EGR valve	confirmed and active
Malfunction of the monitoring system	confirmed and active
NOx threshold, if applicable	confirmed and active

11.2.2. The operator warning system shall be deactivated when the diagnosis system concludes that the malfunction relevant to that warning is no longer present or when the information including DTCs relative to the failures justifying its activation is erased by a scan tool.

11.2.2.1 Requirements for erasing ‘NO

control information’

11.2.2.1.1. Erasing/resetting ‘NO

control information’ by a scan-tool

On request of the scan tool, the following data shall be erased or reset to the value specified in this Appendix from the computer memory (see Table 4.3).

Table 4.3

Erasing / resetting ‘NO

control information’ by a scan-tool

NOx control information	Erasable	Resetable
All DTCs	X
The value of the counter with the highest number of engine operating hours		X
The number of engine operating hours from the NCD counter(s)		X

11.2.2.1.2. NO

control information shall not be erased by disconnection of the non-road mobile machinery's battery(s).

11.2.2.1.3. The erasing of ‘NO

control information’ shall only be possible under ‘engine-off’ conditions.

11.2.2.1.4. When ‘NO

control information’ including DTCs are erased, any counter associated with these failures and which is specified in this Appendix shall not be erased, but reset to the value specified in the appropriate section of this Appendix.

11.3. Activation and deactivation mechanism of the operator inducement system

11.3.1. The operator inducement system shall be activated when the warning system is active and the counter relevant to the type of NCM justifying their activation have reached the value specified in Table 4.4.

11.3.2. The operator inducement system shall be deactivated when the system no longer detects a malfunction justifying its activation, or if the information including the DTCs relative to the NCMs justifying its activation has been erased by a scan tool or maintenance tool.

11.3.3. The operator warning and inducement systems shall be immediately activated or deactivated as appropriate according to the provisions of section 6 after assessment of the reagent quantity in the reagent tank. In that case, the activation or deactivation mechanisms shall not depend upon the status of any associated DTC.

11.4. Counter mechanism

11.4.1. General

11.4.1.1. To comply with the requirements of this Appendix, the system shall contain at least 4 counters to record the number of hours during which the engine has been operated while the system has detected any of the following:

(a) an incorrect reagent quality;

(b) an interruption of reagent dosing activity;

(d) a failure of the NCD system according to point 9.1(b).

11.4.1.1.1. Optionally, the manufacturer may use one or more counters for grouping the failures indicated in point 11.4.1.1.

11.4.1.2. Each of the counters shall count up to the maximum value provided in a 2 byte counter with 1 hour resolution and hold that value unless the conditions allowing the counter to be reset to zero are met.

11.4.1.3. A manufacturer may use a single or multiple NCD system counters. A single counter may accumulate the number of hours of 2 or more different malfunctions relevant to that type of counter, none of them having reached the time the single counter indicates.

11.4.1.3.1. When the manufacturer decides to use multiple NCD system counters, the system shall be capable of assigning a specific monitoring system counter to each malfunction relevant according to this Appendix to that type of counters.

11.4.2. Principle of counters mechanism

11.4.2.1. Each of the counters shall operate as follows:

11.4.2.1.1.

If starting from zero, the counter shall begin counting as soon as a malfunction relevant to that counter is detected and the corresponding diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has the status defined in Table 4.2.

11.4.2.1.2.

In case of repeated failures, one of the following provisions shall apply at the choice of the manufacturer.

(a) If a single monitoring event occurs and the malfunction that originally activated the counter is no longer detected or if the failure has been erased by a scan tool or a maintenance tool, the counter shall halt and hold its current value. If the counter stops counting when the severe inducement system is active, the counter shall be kept frozen at the value defined in Table 4.4 or a value of greater than or equal to the counter value for severe inducement minus 30 minutes.

(b) The counter shall be kept frozen at the value defined in Table 4.4 or a value of greater than or equal to the counter value for severe inducement minus 30 minutes.

11.4.2.1.3.

In the case of a single monitoring system counter, that counter shall continue counting if a NCM relevant to that counter has been detected and its corresponding Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has the status ‘confirmed and active’. It shall halt and hold one of the values specified in point 11.4.2.1.2, if no NCM that would justify the counter activation is detected or if all the failures relevant to that counter have been erased by a scan tool or a maintenance tool.

Table 4.4

Counters and inducement

	DTC status for first activation of the counter	Counter value for low-level inducement	Counter value for severe inducement	Frozen value held by the counter
Reagent quality counter	confirmed and active	≤ 10 hours	≤ 20 hours	≥ 90 % of counter value for severe inducement
Dosing counter	confirmed and active	≤ 10 hours	≤ 20 hours	≥ 90 % of counter value for severe inducement
EGR valve counter	confirmed and active	≤ 36 hours	≤ 100 hours	≥ 95 % of counter value for severe inducement
Monitoring system counter	confirmed and active	≤ 36 hours	≤ 100 hours	≥ 95 % of counter value for severe inducement
NOx threshold, if applicable	confirmed and active	≤ 10 hours	≤ 20 hours	≥ 90 % of counter value for severe inducement

11.4.2.1.4.

Once frozen, the counter shall be reset to zero when the monitors relevant to that counter have run at least once to completion of their monitoring cycle without having detected a malfunction and no malfunction relevant to that counter has been detected during 40 engine operating hours since the counter was last held (see Figure 4.4).

11.4.2.1.5.

The counter shall continue counting from the point at which it had been held if a malfunction relevant to that counter is detected during a period when the counter is frozen (see Figure 4.4).

Illustration of the activation and deactivation and counter mechanisms

12.1. This section 12 illustrates the activation and deactivation and counter mechanisms for some typical cases. The Figures and descriptions given in points 12.2, 12.3 and 12.4 are provided solely for the purposes of illustration in this Appendix and should not be referenced as examples of either the requirements of this Regulation or as definitive statements of the processes involved. The counter hours in Figures 4.6 and 4.7 refer to the maximum severe inducement values in Table 4.4. For simplification purposes, for example, the fact that the warning system will also be active when the inducement system is active has not been mentioned in the illustrations given.

12.2. Figure 4.5 illustrates the operation of the activation and deactivation mechanisms when monitoring the reagent availability for four cases:

(a) use case 1: the operator continues operating the non-road mobile machinery in spite of the warning until non-road mobile machinery operation is disabled;

(b) refilling case 1 (‘adequate’ refilling): the operator refills the reagent tank so that a level above the 10 % threshold is reached. Warning and inducement are de-activated;

(c) refilling cases 2 and 3 (‘inadequate’ refilling): The warning system is activated. The level of warning depends on the amount of available reagent;

(d) refilling case 4 (‘very inadequate’ refilling): The low level inducement is activated immediately.

12.3. Figure 4.6 illustrates three cases of wrong reagent quality:

(a) use case 1: the operator continues operating the non-road mobile machinery in spite of the warning until non-road mobile machinery operation is disabled.

(b) repair case 1 (‘bad’ or ‘dishonest’ repair): after disablement of the non-road mobile machinery, the operator changes the quality of the reagent, but soon after, changes it again for a poor quality one. The inducement system is immediately reactivated and non-road mobile machinery operation is disabled after 2 engine operating hours.

(c) repair case 2 (‘good’ repair): after disablement of the non-road mobile machinery, the operator rectifies the quality of the reagent. However some time afterwards, he refills again with a poor quality reagent. The warning, inducement and counting processes restart from zero.

12.4. Figure 4.7 illustrates three cases of failure of the urea dosing system. This Figure also illustrates the process that applies in the case of the monitoring failures described in section 9:

(a) use case 1: the operator continues operating the non-road mobile machinery in spite of the warning until non-road mobile machinery operation is disabled.

(b) repair case 1 (‘good’ repair): after disablement of the non-road mobile machinery, the operator repairs the dosing system. However some time afterwards, the dosing system fails again. The warning, inducement and counting processes restart from zero.

(c) repair case 2 (‘bad’ repair): during the low-level inducement time (torque reduction), the operator repairs the dosing system. Soon after, however, the dosing system fails again. The low-level inducement system is immediately reactivated and the counter restarts from the value it had at the time of repair.

It shall be possible for national inspection authorities to read these records with a scan tool.

4.2. The duration of an incident logged in the memory according to point 4.1 shall commence when the reagent tank becomes empty, that is, when the dosing system is unable to draw further reagent from the tank, or at any level below 2,5 % of its nominally full capacity at the discretion of the manufacturer.

4.3. For incidents other than those specified in point 4.1.1 the duration of an incident logged in the memory according to point 4.1 shall commence when the respective counter reaches the value for severe inducement in Table 4.4 of Appendix 1.

4.4. The duration of an incident logged in the memory according to point 4.1 shall end when the incident has been remedied.

4.5. When conducting a demonstration according to the requirements of section 10 of Appendix 1 the demonstration of the severe inducement system set out in point 10.1(c) of that Appendix and the corresponding Table 4.1 shall be replaced by a demonstration of the storage of an incident of engine operation with inadequate reagent injection or reagent quality.

In this case the requirements of point 10.4.1 of Appendix 1 shall apply and the manufacturer shall, in agreement with the approval authority, be permitted to accelerate the test by simulating the achievement of a certain number of operating hours.

(a) DTCs shall not be erased by the PCD system itself from the computer memory until the failure related to that DTC has been remedied;

(b) the PCD system may erase all the DTCs upon request of a proprietary scan or maintenance tool that is provided by the engine manufacturer upon request, or using a pass code provided by the engine manufacturer.

(c) the record of incidents of operation with a DTC confirmed and active that are stored in non-volatile memory as required by point 5.2 shall not be erased.

2.3.4. A PCD system shall not be programmed or otherwise designed to partially or totally deactivate based on age of the non-road mobile machinery during the actual life of the engine, nor shall the system contain any algorithm or strategy designed to reduce the effectiveness of the PCD system over time.

2.3.6. PCD engine family

The manufacturer is responsible for determining the composition of a PCD engine family. Grouping engines within a PCD engine family shall be based on good engineering judgment and be subject to approval by the approval authority.

Engines that do not belong to the same engine family may still belong to the same PCD engine family.

2.3.6.1. Parameters defining a PCD engine family

A PCD engine family is characterised by basic design parameters that shall be common to engines within the family.

In order that engines are considered to belong to the same PCD engine family, the following list of basic parameters shall be similar:

(a) working principle of particulate after-treatment system (e.g. mechanical, aerodynamic, diffusional, inertial, periodically regenerating, continuously regenerating, etc.)

(b) methods of PCD monitoring;

(d) monitoring parameters (e.g. frequency).

These similarities shall be demonstrated by the manufacturer by means of relevant engineering demonstration or other appropriate procedures and subject to the approval of the approval authority.

The manufacturer may request approval by the approval authority of minor differences in the methods of monitoring/diagnosing the PCD monitoring system due to engine configuration variation, when these methods are considered similar by the manufacturer and they differ only in order to match specific characteristics of the components under consideration (for example size, exhaust gas flow, etc.); or their similarities are based on good engineering judgment.

5.2. The PCD shall store in the non-volatile memory the total number and duration of all incidents of engine operation with a DTC confirmed and active where the operator warning system has been active for 20 hours of engine operation, or a shorter period at the choice of the manufacturer.

5.3. It shall be possible for national authorities to read these records with a scan tool.

6.

Monitoring for removal of the particulate after-treatment system

6.1. The PCD shall detect the complete removal of the particulate after-treatment system inclusive of the removal of any sensors used to monitor, activate, de-activate or modulate its operation.

7.

Additional requirements in the case of a particulate after-treatment system that uses a reagent (e.g. fuel-borne catalyst)

7.1. In the case of a confirmed and active DTC for either removal of the particulate after-treatment system or loss of the particulate after-treatment system function the reagent dosing shall be immediately interrupted. Dosing shall re-commence when the DTC is no longer active.

7.2. The warning system shall be activated if the reagent level in the additive tank falls below the minimum value specified by the manufacturer.

8.

Monitoring failures that may be attributed to tampering

8.1. In addition to monitoring for removal of the particulate after-treatment system the following failures shall be monitored because they may be attributed to tampering:

(a) loss of the particulate after-treatment system function,

(b) failures of the PCD system, as described in point 8.3.

8.2. Monitoring of loss of the particulate after-treatment system function

The PCD shall detect the complete removal of the particulate after-treatment system substrate (‘empty can’). In this case the particulate after-treatment system housing and sensors used to monitor, activate, de-activate or modulate its operation are still present.

8.3. Monitoring of failures of the PCD system

8.3.1. The PCD system shall be monitored for electrical failures and for removal or deactivation of any sensor or actuator that prevents it from diagnosing any other failures mentioned in point 6.1 and 8.1(a) (component monitoring).

A non-exhaustive list of sensors that affect the diagnostic capability are those directly measuring differential pressures over the particulate after-treatment system and exhaust gas temperature sensors for controlling the particulate after-treatment system regeneration.

8.3.2. Where the failure, removal or deactivation of a single sensor or actuator of the PCD system does not prevent the diagnosis within the required time period of the failures mentioned in point 6.1 and 8.1(a) (redundant system), the activation of the warning system and storage of information on operator warning system activation shall not be required unless additional sensor or actuator failures are confirmed and active.

9.

Demonstration requirements

9.1. General

The compliance to the requirements of this Appendix shall be demonstrated during EU type-approval by performing, as illustrated in Table 4.6 and specified in this section 9 a demonstration of the warning system activation.

9.2. Engine families and PCD engine families

9.2.1. In the case where engines of an engine family belong to a PCD engine family that has already been EU type-approved in accordance with Figure 4.8, the compliance of that engine family is deemed to be demonstrated without further testing, provided the manufacturer demonstrates to the authority that the monitoring systems necessary for complying with the requirements of this Appendix are similar within the considered engine and PCD engine families.

9.3. Demonstration of the warning system activation

9.3.1. The compliance of the warning system activation shall be demonstrated by performing two tests: loss of the particulate after-treatment system function and one failure category considered in point 6 or point 8.3 of this Annex.

9.3.2. Selection of the failures to be tested

9.3.2.1. The manufacturer shall provide the approval authority with a list of such potential failures.

9.3.2.2. The failure to be considered in the test shall be selected by the approval authority from this list referred to in point 9.3.2.1.

9.3.3. Demonstration

9.3.3.1. For the purpose of this demonstration, a separate test shall be performed for the loss of the particulate after-treatment system function set out in point 8.2 and for the failures laid down in points 6 and 8.3. The loss of the particulate after-treatment system function shall be created by a complete removal of the substrate from the particulate after-treatment system housing.

9.3.3.2. During a test, no failure shall be present other than the one addressed by the test.

9.3.3.3. Prior to starting a test, all DTC shall have been erased.

9.3.3.4. At the request of the manufacturer, and with the agreement of the approval authority, the failures subject to testing may be simulated.

9.3.3.5. Detection of failures

9.3.3.5.1. The PCD system shall respond to the introduction of a failure selected as appropriate by the approval authority in accordance to the provisions of this Appendix. This is considered to be demonstrated if activation occurs within the number of consecutive PCD test-cycles given in Table 4.7.

When it has been specified in the monitoring description and agreed by the approval authority that a specific monitor needs more PCD test-cycles to complete its monitoring than indicated in Table 4.7, the number of PCD test-cycles may be increased by up to 50 %.

Each individual PCD test-cycle in the demonstration test may be separated by an engine shut-off. The time until the next start-up shall take into consideration any monitoring that may occur after engine shut- off and any necessary condition that must exist for monitoring to occur at the next start-up.

Loss of function of the particulate after-treatment system	8
Failures of the PCD system	2

9.3.3.6. PCD test cycle

9.3.3.6.1. The PCD test cycle considered in this Section 9 for demonstrating the correct performance of the particulate after-treatment system monitoring system is the hot-start NRTC cycle for engines of sub-category NRE-v-3, NRE-v-4, NRE-v-5, NRE-v-6 and the applicable NRSC for all other categories.

9.3.3.6.2. On request of the manufacturer and with approval of the approval authority, an alternative PCD test- cycle (e.g. other than the NRTC or the NRSC) can be used for a specific monitor. The request shall contain elements (technical considerations, simulation, test results, etc.) demonstrating:

(a) the requested test-cycle results in a monitor that will run in real world driving; and

9.3.3.7.1. The demonstration of the warning system activation shall be done by tests performed on an engine test bench.

9.3.3.7.2. Any components or subsystems not physically mounted on the engine, such as, but not limited to, ambient temperature sensors, level sensors, and operator warning and information systems, that are required in order to perform the demonstrations shall be connected to the engine for that purpose, or shall be simulated, to the satisfaction of the approval authority.

9.3.3.7.3. If the manufacturer chooses, and subject to the agreement of the approval authority, the demonstration tests may be performed, notwithstanding point 9.3.3.7.1, on a complete non-road mobile machinery or machinery either by mounting the non-road mobile machinery on a suitable test bed or by running it on a test track under controlled conditions.

9.3.4. The demonstration of the warning system activation is deemed to be accomplished if, at the end of each demonstration test performed in accordance with point 9.3.3 the warning system has been properly activated and the DTC for the selected failure has a ‘confirmed and active’ status.

9.3.5 Where a particulate after-treatment system that uses a reagent is subjected to a demonstration test for loss of the particulate after-treatment system function or removal of the particulate after-treatment system it shall also be confirmed that reagent dosing has been interrupted.

General requirements

The engines to be tested shall meet the performance requirements set out in section 5 when tested in accordance with the test conditions set out in section 6 and the test procedures set out in section 7.

5.

Performance requirements

5.1. Emissions of gaseous and particulate pollutants and of CO

and NH

The pollutants are represented by:

(a) Oxides of nitrogen, NO

;

(b) Hydrocarbons, expressed as total hydrocarbons, HC or THC;

(d) Particulate matter, PM;

(e) Particle number, PN.

The measured values of gaseous and particulate pollutants and of CO

exhausted by the engine refer to the brake-specific emissions in grams per kilowatt-hour (g/kWh).

The gaseous and particulate pollutants that shall be measured are those for which limit values are applicable to the engine sub-category being tested as set out in Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628. The results, inclusive of the deterioration factor determined according to Annex III, shall not exceed the applicable limit values.

The CO

shall be measured and reported for all engine sub-categories as required by Article 41(4) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1628.

The mean emission of ammonia (NH

) shall additionally be measured, as required in accordance with section 3 of Annex IV, when the NO

control measures that are part of the engine emission control system include use of a reagent, and shall not exceed the values set out in that section.

The emissions shall be determined on the duty cycles (steady-state and/or transient test cycles), as described in section 7 and in Annex XVII. The measurement systems shall meet the calibration and performance checks set out in section 8 with the measurement equipment described in section 9.

Other systems or analysers may be approved by the approval authority if it is found that they yield equivalent results in accordance with point 5.1.1. The results shall be calculated according to the requirements of Annex VII.

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 3 of Annex VII, 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 approval authority.

5.2. General requirements on the test cycles

5.2.1. The EU type-approval test shall be conducted using the appropriate NRSC and, where applicable, NRTC or LSI-NRTC, as specified in Article 24 and Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628.

5.2.2. The technical specifications and characteristics of the NRSC are set out in Annex XVII, Appendix 1 (discrete-mode NRSC) and Appendix 2 (ramped-modal NRSC). At the choice of the manufacturer, a NRSC test may be run as a discrete-mode NRSC or, where available, as a ramped-modal NRSC (‘RMC’) as set out in point 7.4.1.

5.2.3. The technical specifications and characteristics of the NRTC and LSI-NRTC are set out in Appendix 3 of Annex XVII.

5.2.4. The test cycles specified in point 7.4 and in Annex XVII are designed around percentages of maximum torque or power and test speeds that need to be determined for the correct performance of the test cycles:

(a) 100 % speed (maximum test speed (MTS) or rated speed)

(b) Intermediate speed(s) as specified in point 5.2.5.4;

The determination of the test speeds is set out in point 5.2.5, the use of torque and power in point 5.2.6.

5.2.5. Test speeds

5.2.5.1. Maximum test speed (MTS)

The MTS shall be calculated in accordance with point 5.2.5.1.1 or point 5.2.5.1.3.

5.2.5.1.1. Calculation of MTS

In order to calculate the MTS the transient mapping procedure shall be performed in accordance with point 7.4. The MTS is then determined from the mapped values of engine speed versus power. MTS shall be calculated by means of equation (6-1), (6-2) or (6-3):

(a)	MTS = n lo + 0,95 × (n hi – n lo)	(6-1)
(b)	MTS = n i	(6-2)

with:

where:

is an engine speed normalized by dividing it by [Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]

norm

[Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]

is the average of the lowest and highest speeds at which power is equal to 98 % of

Linear interpolation shall be used between the mapped values to determine:

(a) the speeds where power is equal to 98 % of

max

. If there is only one speed at which power is equal to 98 % of P

max

[Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]

shall be the speed at which P

max

occurs;

(b) the speeds where (

norm

orm

) is equal to 98 % of the maximum value of (

norm

orm

5.2.5.1.2. Use of a declared MTS

If the MTS calculated in accordance with point 5.2.5.1.1 or 5.2.5.1.3 is within ± 3 % of the MTS declared by the manufacturer, the declared MTS may be used for the emissions test. If the tolerance is exceeded, the measured MTS shall be used for the emissions test.

5.2.5.1.3. Use of an adjusted MTS

If the falling part of the full load curve has a very steep edge, this may cause problems to drive the 105 % speeds of the NRTC correctly. In this case it is allowed, with prior agreement of the technical service, to use an alternative value of MTS determined using one of the following methods:

(a) the MTS may be slightly reduced (maximum 3 %) in order to make correct driving of the NRTC possible.

(b) Calculate an alternative MTS by means of equation (6-4):

MTS = ((n max – n idle)/1,05) + n idle

(6-4)

where:

max

is the engine speed at which the engine governor function controls engine speed with operator demand at maximum and with zero load applied (‘maximum no-load speed’)

idle

is the idle speed

5.2.5.2. Rated speed

The rated speed is defined in Article 3(29) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1628. Rated speed for variable-speed engines subject to an emission test shall be determined from the applicable mapping procedure set out in section 7.6. Rated speed for constant-speed engines shall be declared by the manufacturer according to the characteristics of the governor. Where an engine type equipped with alternative speeds as permitted by Article 3(21) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 is subject to an emission test, each alternative speed shall be declared and tested.

If the rated speed determined from the mapping procedure in section 7.6 is within ± 150 rpm of the value declared by the manufacturer for engines of category NRS provided with governor, or within ± 350 rpm or ± 4 % for engines of category NRS without governor, whichever is smaller, or within ± 100 rpm for all other engine categories, the declared value may be used. If the tolerance is exceeded, the rated speed determined from the mapping procedure shall be used.

For engines of category NRSh the 100 % test speed shall be within ± 350 rpm of the rated speed.

Optionally, MTS may be used instead of rated speed for any steady state test cycle.

5.2.5.3. Maximum torque speed for variable-speed engines

The maximum torque speed determined from the maximum torque curve established from the applicable engine mapping procedure in point 7.6.1 or 7.6.2 shall be one of the following:

(a) The speed at which the highest torque was recorded; or,

(b) The average of the lowest and highest speeds at which the torque is equal to 98 % of the maximum torque. Where necessary, linear interpolation shall be used to determine the speeds at which the torque is equal to 98 % of the maximum torque.

If the maximum torque speed determined from the maximum torque curve is within ± 4 % of the maximum torque speed declared by the manufacturer for engines of category NRS or NRSh, or ± 2,5 % of the maximum torque speed declared by the manufacturer for all other engine categories, the declared value may be used for the purpose of this regulation. If the tolerance is exceeded, the maximum torque speed determined from the maximum torque curve shall be used.

5.2.5.4. Intermediate speed

The intermediate speed shall meet one of the following requirements:

(a) For engines that are designed to operate over a speed range on a full load torque curve, the intermediate speed shall be the maximum torque speed if it occurs between 60 % and 75 % of rated speed;

(b) If the maximum torque speed is less than 60 % of rated speed, then the intermediate speed shall be 60 % of the rated speed;

(c) If the maximum torque speed is greater than 75 % of the rated speed then the intermediate speed shall be 75 % of rated speed. Where the engine is only capable of operation at speeds higher than 75 % of rated speed the intermediate speed shall be the lowest speed at which the engine can be operated;

(d) For engines that are not designed to operate over a speed range on a full-load torque curve at steady-state conditions, the intermediate speed shall be between 60 % and 70 % of the rated speed.

(e) For engines to be tested on cycle G1, except for engines of category ATS, the intermediate speed shall be 85 % of the rated speed.

(f) For engines of category ATS tested on cycle G1 the intermediate speed shall be 60 % or 85 % of rated speed based on which is closer to the actual maximum torque speed.

Where the MTS is used in place of rated speed for the 100 % test speed, MTS shall also replace rated speed when determining the intermediate speed.

5.2.5.5. Idle speed

The idle speed is the lowest engine speed with minimum load (greater than or equal to zero load), where an engine governor function controls engine speed. For engines without a governor function that controls idle speed, idle speed means the manufacturer-declared value for lowest engine speed possible with minimum load. Note that warm idle speed is the idle speed of a warmed-up engine.

5.2.5.6. Test speed for constant-speed engines

The governors of constant-speed engines may not always maintain speed exactly constant. Typically speed can decrease (0,1 to 10) % below the speed at zero load, such that the minimum speed occurs near the engine's point of maximum power. The test speed for constant-speed engines may be commanded by using the governor installed on the engine or using a test-bed speed demand where this represents the engine governor.

Where the governor installed on the engine is used the 100 % speed shall be the engine governed speed as defined in Article 2(24).

Where a test-bed speed demand signal is used to simulate the governor, the 100 % speed at zero load shall be the no-load speed specified by the manufacturer for that governor setting and the 100 % speed at full load shall be the rated speed for that governor setting. Interpolation shall be used to determine the speed for the other test modes.

Where the governor has an isochronous operation setting, or the rated speed and no-load speed declared by the manufacturer differ by no more than 3 %, a single value declared by the manufacturer may be used for the 100 % speed at all load points.

5.2.6. Torque and Power

5.2.6.1 Torque

The torque figures given in the test cycles are percentage values that represent, for a given test mode, one of the following:

(a) The ratio of the required torque to the maximum possible torque at the specified test speed (all cycles except D2 & E2);

(b) The ratio of the required torque to the torque corresponding to the rated net power declared by the manufacturer (cycle D2 & E2).

5.2.6.2. Power

The power figures given in the test cycles are percentage values that represent, for a given test mode, one of the following:

(a) For the test cycle E3 the power figures are percentage values of the maximum net power at the 100 % speed as this cycle is based on a theoretical propeller characteristic curve for vessels driven by heavy-duty engines without limitation of length.

(b) For the test cycle F the power figures are percentage values of the maximum net power at the given test speed, except for idle speed where it is a percentage of the maximum net power at the 100 % speed.

Test Conditions

6.1. Laboratory test conditions

The absolute temperature (

) of the engine air at the inlet to the engine expressed in Kelvin, and the dry atmospheric pressure (

), expressed in kPa shall be measured and the parameter

shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions and by means of equation (6-5) or (6-6). If the atmospheric pressure is measured in a duct, negligible pressure losses shall be ensured between the atmosphere and the measurement location, and changes in the duct's static pressure resulting from the flow shall be accounted for. In multi-cylinder engines having distinct groups of intake manifolds, such as in a ‘V’ engine configuration, the average temperature of the distinct groups shall be taken. The parameter

a shall be reported with the test results.

6.1.1. For the test to be considered valid both the following conditions must be met:

(a) f

shall be within the range 0,93 ≤

≤ 1,07 except as permitted by points 6.1.2 and 6.1.4;

(b) The temperature of intake air shall be maintained to 298 ± 5 K (25 ± 5 °C), measured upstream of any engine component, except as permitted by points 6.1.3 and 6.1.4, and as required by points 6.1.5 and 6.1.6.

6.1.2. Where the altitude of the laboratory in which the engine is being tested exceeds 600 m, with the agreement of the manufacturer

may exceed 1,07 on the condition that

shall not be less than 80 kPa.

6.1.3. Where the power of the engine being tested is greater than 560 kW, with the agreement of the manufacturer the maximum value of intake air temperature may exceed 303 K (30 °C) on the condition that it shall not exceed 308 K (35 °C).

6.1.4. Where the altitude of the laboratory in which the engine is being tested exceeds 300 m and the power of the engine being tested is greater than 560 kW, with the agreement of the manufacturer

may exceed 1,07 on the condition that

shall not be less than 80 kPa and the maximum value of intake air temperature may exceed 303 K (30 °C) on the condition that it shall not exceed 308 K (35 °C).

6.1.5. In the case of an engine family of category NRS less than 19 kW exclusively consisting of engine types to be used in snow throwers, the temperature of the intake air shall be maintained between 273 K and 268 K (0 °C and – 5 °C).

6.1.6. For engines of category SMB the temperature of the intake air shall be maintained to 263 ± 5 K (– 10 ± 5 °C), except as permitted by point 6.1.6.1.

6.1.6.1. For engines of category SMB fitted with electronically controlled fuel injection that adjusts the fuel flow to the intake air temperature, at the choice of the manufacturer the temperature of the intake air may alternatively be maintained to 298 ± 5 K (25 ± 5 °C).

6.1.7. It is allowed to use:

(a) an atmospheric pressure meter whose output is used as the atmospheric pressure for an entire test facility that has more than one dynamometer test cell, as long as the equipment for handling intake air maintains ambient pressure, where the engine is tested, within ± 1 kPa of the shared atmospheric pressure;

(b) A humidity measurement device to measure the humidity of intake air for an entire test facility that has more than one dynamometer test cell, as long as the equipment for handling intake air maintains dew point, where the engine is tested, within ± 0,5 K of the shared humidity measurement.

6.2. Engines with charge-air cooling

(a) A charge-air cooling system with a total intake-air capacity that represents production engines' in-use installation shall be used. Any laboratory charge-air cooling system to minimize accumulation of condensate shall be designed. Any accumulated condensate shall be drained and all drains shall be completely closed before emission testing. The drains shall be kept closed during the emission test. Coolant conditions shall be maintained as follows:

(a) a coolant temperature of at least 20 °C shall be maintained at the inlet to the charge-air cooler throughout testing;

(b) at the rated speed and full load, the coolant flow rate shall be set to achieve an air temperature within ± 5 °C of the value designed by the manufacturer after the charge-air cooler's outlet. The air-outlet temperature shall be measured at the location specified by the manufacturer. This coolant flow rate set point shall be used throughout testing;

(c) 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;

When the MTS defined in point 5.2.5.1 is being used in place of rated speed to run the test cycle then this speed may be used in place of rated speed when setting the charge air temperature.

The objective is to produce emission results that are representative of in-use operation. If good engineering judgment indicates that the specifications in this section would result in unrepresentative testing (such as overcooling of the intake air), more sophisticated set points and controls of charge-air pressure drop, coolant temperature, and flow rate may be used to achieve more representative results.

6.3. Engine power

6.3.1. Basis for emission measurement

The basis of specific emissions measurement is uncorrected net power as defined in Article 3(23) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1628.

6.3.2. Auxiliaries to be fitted

During the test, the auxiliaries necessary for the engine operation shall be installed on the test bench according to the requirements of Appendix 2.

Where the necessary auxiliaries cannot be fitted for the test, the power they absorb shall be determined and subtracted from the measured engine power.

6.3.3. Auxiliaries to be removed

Certain auxiliaries whose definition is linked with the operation of the non-road mobile machinery and which may be mounted on the engine shall be removed for the test.

Where auxiliaries cannot be removed, the power they absorb in the unloaded condition may be determined and added to the measured engine power (see note g in Appendix 2). If this value is greater than 3 % of the maximum power at the test speed it may be verified by the technical service. The power absorbed by auxiliaries shall be used to adjust the set values and to calculate the work produced by the engine over the test cycle in accordance with point 7.7.1.3 or point 7.7.2.3.1.

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 2, are not fitted to the engine;

and/or

(b) Auxiliaries/equipment not required according to Appendix 2, 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 applicable test cycles, and approved by the approval authority.

6.3.5. Engine cycle work

The calculation of reference and actual cycle work (see point 7.8.3.4) shall be based upon engine power in accordance with point 6.3.1. In this case,

and

of equation (6-7) are zero, and

equals

If auxiliaries/equipment are installed in accordance with points 6.3.2 and/or 6.3.3, the power absorbed by them shall be used to correct each instantaneous cycle power value

m,i

, by means of equation (6-8):

P i = P m,i – P f,i + P r,i	(6-7)
P AUX = P r,i – P f,i	(6-8)

Where:

m,i

is the measured engine power, kW

f,i

is the power absorbed by auxiliaries/equipment to be fitted for the test but that were not installed, kW

r,i

is the power absorbed by auxiliaries/equipment to be removed for the test but that were installed, kW.

6.4. Engine intake air

6.4.1. Introduction

The intake-air system installed on the engine or one that represents a typical in-use configuration shall be used. This includes the charge-air cooling and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR).

6.4.2. Intake air pressure restriction

An engine air intake system or a test laboratory system shall be used presenting an intake air pressure restriction within ± 300 Pa of the maximum value specified by the manufacturer for a clean air cleaner at the rated speed and full load. Where this is not possible due to the design of the test laboratory air supply system a pressure restriction not exceeding the value specified by the manufacturer for a dirty filter shall be permitted subject to prior approval of the technical service. The static differential pressure of the pressure restriction shall be measured at the location and at the speed and torque set points specified by the manufacturer. If the manufacturer does not specify a location, this pressure shall be measured upstream of any turbocharger or exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) connection to the intake air system.

When the MTS defined in point 5.2.5.1 is being used in place of rated speed to run the test cycle then this speed may be used in place of rated speed when setting the intake air pressure restriction.

6.5. Engine exhaust system

The exhaust system installed with the engine or one that represents a typical in-use configuration shall be used. The exhaust system shall conform to the requirements for exhaust emissions sampling, as set out in point 9.3. An engine exhaust system or a test laboratory system shall be used presenting a static exhaust gas back-pressure within 80 to 100 % of the maximum exhaust gas pressure restriction at the rated speed and full load. The exhaust gas pressure restriction may be set using a valve. If the maximum exhaust gas pressure restriction is 5 kPa or less, the set point shall not be more than 1,0 kPa from the maximum. When the MTS defined in point 5.2.5.1 is being used in place of rated speed to run the test cycle then this speed may be used in place of rated speed when setting the exhaust gas pressure restriction.

6.6. Engine with exhaust after-treatment system

If the engine is equipped with an exhaust after-treatment system that is not mounted directly on the engine, the exhaust pipe shall have the same diameter as found in-use 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 non-road mobile machinery configuration or within the distance specifications of the manufacturer. Where specified by the manufacturer the pipe shall be insulated to achieve an after-treatment inlet temperature within the specification of the manufacturer. Where other installation requirements are specified by the manufacturer these shall also be respected for the test configuration. The exhaust gas back-pressure or pressure restriction shall be set according to point 6.5. For exhaust after-treatment devices with variable exhaust gas pressure restriction, the maximum exhaust gas pressure restriction used in point 6.5 is defined at the after-treatment condition (degreening/ageing and regeneration/loading level) specified by the manufacturer. 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 an exhaust after-treatment system that requires the consumption of a reagent, the reagent used for all tests shall be declared by the manufacturer.

For engines of category NRE, NRG, IWP, IWA, RLR, NRS, NRSh, SMB, and ATS equipped with exhaust after-treatment systems that are regenerated on an infrequent (periodic) basis, as described in point 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. After-treatment systems with a regeneration process that occurs either in a sustained manner or at least once over the applicable transient (NRTC or LSI-NRTC) test cycle or RMC (‘continuous regeneration’) in accordance with point 6.6.1 do not require a special test procedure.

6.6.1. Continuous regeneration

For an exhaust after-treatment system based on a continuous regeneration process the emissions shall be measured on an after-treatment system that has been stabilized so as to result in repeatable emissions behaviour. The regeneration process shall occur at least once during the hot-start NRTC, LSI-NRTC or NRSC test, and the manufacturer shall declare the normal conditions under which regeneration occurs (soot load, temperature, exhaust gas back-pressure, etc.). In order to demonstrate that the regeneration process is continuous, at least three hot-start runs of the NRTC, LSI-NRTC or NRSC shall be conducted. In case of hot-start NRTC, the engine shall be warmed up in accordance with point 7.8.2.1, the engine be soaked according to point 7.4.2.1(b) and the first hot-start NRTC.

The subsequent hot-start NRTC shall be started after soaking according with point 7.4.2.1(b). During the tests, exhaust gas temperatures and pressures shall be recorded (temperature before and after the exhaust after-treatment system, exhaust gas back-pressure, etc.). The exhaust after-treatment system is considered to be satisfactory if the conditions declared by the manufacturer occur during the test within a sufficient time and the emission results do not scatter by more than ± 25 % from the mean value or 0,005 g/kWh, whichever is greater.

6.6.2. Infrequent regeneration

This provision only applies to engines equipped with an exhaust after-treatment system that is regenerated on an infrequent basis, typically occurring in less than 100 hours of normal engine operation. For those engines, either additive or multiplicative factors shall be determined for upward and downward adjustment as referred to in point 6.6.2.4 (‘adjustment factor’).

Testing and development of adjustment factors is only required for one applicable transient (NRTC or LSI-NRTC) test cycle or RMC. The factors that have been developed may be applied to results from the other applicable test cycles including discrete-mode NRSC.

In case that no suitable adjustment factors are available from testing using transient (NRTC or LSI-NRTC) test cycle or RMC then adjustment factors shall be established using an applicable discrete-mode NRSC test. Factors developed using a discrete-mode NRSC test shall only be applied to discrete-mode NRSC.

It shall not be required to conduct testing and develop adjustment factors on both RMC and discrete-mode NRSC.

6.6.2.1. Requirement for establishing adjustment factors using NRTC, LSI-NRTC or RMC

The emissions shall be measured on at least three hot-start runs of the NRTC, LSI-NRTC or RMC, one with and two without a regeneration event on a stabilized exhaust after-treatment system. The regeneration process shall occur at least once during the NRTC, LSI-NRTC or RMC with a regeneration event. If regeneration takes longer than one NRTC, LSI-NRTC or RMC, consecutive NRTC, LSI-NRTC or RMC shall be run and emissions continued to be measured without shutting the engine off until regeneration is completed and the average of the tests shall be calculated. If regeneration is completed during any test, the test shall be continued over its entire length.

An appropriate adjustment factor shall be determined for the entire applicable cycle by means of equations (6-10) to (6-13).

6.6.2.2. Requirement for establishing adjustment factors using discrete-mode NRSC testing

Starting with a stabilized exhaust after-treatment system the emissions shall be measured on at least three runs of each test mode of the applicable discrete-mode NRSC on which the conditions for regeneration can be met, one with and two without a regeneration event. The measurement of PM shall be conducted using the multiple filter method described in point 7.8.1.2(c). If regeneration has started but is not complete at the end of the sampling period for a specific test mode extend the sampling period shall be extended until regeneration is complete. Where there are multiple runs for the same mode an average result shall be calculated. The process shall be repeated for each test mode.

An appropriate adjustment factor shall be determined by means of equations (6-10) to (6-13) for those modes of the applicable cycle for which regeneration occurs.

6.6.2.3. General procedure for developing infrequent regeneration adjustment factors (IRAFs)

The manufacturer shall declare the normal parameter conditions under which the regeneration process occurs (soot load, temperature, exhaust gas back-pressure, etc.). The manufacturer shall also provide the frequency of the regeneration event in terms of number of tests during which the regeneration occurs. The exact procedure to determine this frequency shall be agreed by the type approval or certification authority based upon good engineering judgement.

For a regeneration test, the manufacturer shall provide an exhaust after-treatment system that has been loaded. Regeneration shall not occur during this engine conditioning phase. As an option, the manufacturer may run consecutive tests of the applicable cycle until the exhaust after-treatment system is loaded. Emissions measurement is not required on all tests.

Average emissions between regeneration phases shall be determined from the arithmetic mean of several approximately equidistant tests of the applicable cycle. As a minimum, at least one applicable cycle as close as possible prior to a regeneration test and one applicable cycle immediately after a regeneration test shall be conducted.

During the regeneration test, all the data needed to detect regeneration shall be recorded (CO or NO

emissions, temperature before and after the exhaust after-treatment system, exhaust gas back-pressure, etc.). During the regeneration process, the applicable emission limits may be exceeded. The test procedure is schematically shown in Figure 6.1.

Figure 6.1

number of measurements during regeneration.

[Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]

The average specific emission rate related to the test runs conducted according to points 6.6.2.1 or 6.6.2.2 [g/kWh or #/kWh] shall be weighted by means of equation (6-9) (see Figure 6.1):

[Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]

(6-9)

Where:

is the number of tests in which regeneration does not occur,

is the number of tests in which regeneration occurs (minimum one test),

[Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]

is the average specific emission from a test in which the regeneration does not occur [g/kWh or #/kWh]

[Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]

is the average specific emission from a test in which the regeneration occurs [g/kWh or #/kWh]

At the choice of the manufacturer and based on upon good engineering judgment, the regeneration adjustment factor

, expressing the average emission rate, may be calculated either multiplicative or additive for all gaseous pollutants, and, where there is an applicable limit, for PM and PN, by means of equations (6-10) to (6-13):

Multiplicative

[Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]	(upward adjustment factor)	(6-10)
[Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]	(downward adjustment factor)	(6-11)

Additive

k ru,a = e w – e	(upward adjustment factor)	(6-12)
k rd,a = e w – e r	(downward adjustment factor)	(6-13)

6.6.2.4. Application of adjustment factors

Upward adjustment factors are multiplied with or added to measured emission rates for all tests in which the regeneration does not occur. Downward adjustment factors are multiplied with or added to measured emission rates for all tests in which the regeneration occurs. The occurrence of the regeneration shall be identified in a manner that is readily apparent during all testing. Where no regeneration is identified, the upward adjustment factor shall be applied.

With reference to Annex VII and Appendix 5 of Annex VII on brake specific emission calculations, the regeneration adjustment factor:

(a) When established for an entire weighted cycle, shall be applied to the results of the applicable weighted NRTC, LSI-NRTC and NRSC;

(b) When established specifically for the individual modes of the applicable discrete-mode NRSC, shall be applied to the results of those modes of the applicable discrete-mode NRSC for which regeneration occurs prior to calculating the cycle weighted emission result. In this case the multiple filter method shall be used for PM measurement;

(d) May be extended to other engine families within the same engine after-treatment system family, as defined in Annex IX to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/656, with the prior approval of the approval authority based on technical evidence to be supplied by the manufacturer that the emissions are similar.

The following options shall apply:

(a) A manufacturer may elect to omit adjustment factors for one or more of its engine families (or configurations) because the effect of the regeneration is small, or because it is not practical to identify when regenerations occur. In these cases, no adjustment factor shall be used, and the manufacturer is liable for compliance with the emission limits for all tests, without regard to whether a regeneration occurs;

(b) Upon request by the manufacturer, the approval authority may account for regeneration events differently than is provided in paragraph (a). However, this option only applies to events that occur extremely infrequently, and which cannot be practically addressed using the adjustment factors described in paragraph (a).

6.7. Cooling system

An engine cooling system with sufficient capacity to maintain the engine, with its intake-air, oil, coolant, block and head temperatures, at normal operating temperatures prescribed by the manufacturer shall be used. Laboratory auxiliary coolers and fans may be used.

6.8. Lubricating oil

The lubricating oil shall be specified by the manufacturer and be representative of lubricating oil available in 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 fuels to be used for the test are specified in Annex IX.

The fuel temperature shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. The fuel temperature shall be measured at the inlet to the fuel injection pump or as specified by the manufacturer, and the location of measurement recorded.

6.10. Crankcase emissions

This section shall apply to engines of category NRE, NRG, IWP, IWA, RLR, NRS, NRSh, SMB, & ATS complying with Stage V emission limits set out in Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628.

Crankcase emissions that are discharged directly into the ambient atmosphere shall be 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 point, crankcase emissions that are routed into the exhaust gas upstream of exhaust after-treatment system 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 minimized as far as possible;

(b) The number of bends in the laboratory crankcase tubing shall be minimized, and the radius of any unavoidable bend shall be maximized;

(c) The laboratory crankcase exhaust tubing shall meet the engine manufacturer's specifications for crankcase back-pressure;

(d) The crankcase exhaust tubing shall connect into the raw exhaust gas downstream of any exhaust after-treatment system, downstream of any installed exhaust emissions restriction, and sufficiently upstream of any sample probes to ensure complete mixing with the engine's exhaust system before sampling. The crankcase exhaust tube shall extend into the free stream of exhaust system 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 gas flow.

7. Test procedures

7.1. Introduction

This chapter describes the determination of brake specific emissions of gaseous and particulate pollutants on engines to be tested. The test engine shall be the parent engine configuration for the engine family as specified Annex IX to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/656.

A laboratory emission test consists of measuring emissions and other parameters for the test cycles specified in Annex XVII. The following aspects are treated:

(a) The laboratory configurations for measuring the emissions (point 7.2);

(b) The pre-test and post-test verification procedures (point 7.3);

(d) The general test sequence (point 7.5);

(e) The engine mapping (point 7.6);

(f) The test cycle generation (point 7.7);

(g) The specific test cycle running procedure (point 7.8).

7.2. Principle of emission measurement

To measure the brake-specific emissions, the engine shall be operated over the test cycles defined in point 7.4, as applicable. The measurement of brake-specific emissions requires the determination of the mass of pollutants in the exhaust emissions (i.e. HC, CO, NO

and PM), the number of particulates in the exhaust emissions (i.e. PN), the mass of CO

in the exhaust emissions, and the corresponding engine work.

7.2.1. Mass of constituent

The total mass of each constituent shall be determined over the applicable test cycle by using the following methods:

7.2.1.1. Continuous sampling

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

7.2.1.2. Batch sampling

In batch sampling, a sample of raw or diluted exhaust gas is continuously extracted and stored for later measurement. The extracted sample shall be proportional to the raw or diluted exhaust gas flow rate. Examples of batch sampling are collecting diluted gaseous emissions in a bag and collecting PM on a filter. In principal the method of emission calculation is done as follows: the batch sampled concentrations are multiplied by the total 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 constituent. To calculate the PM concentration, the PM deposited onto a filter from proportionally extracted exhaust gas shall be divided by the amount of filtered exhaust gas.

7.2.1.3. Combined sampling

Any combination of continuous and batch sampling is permitted (e.g. PM with batch sampling and gaseous emissions with continuous sampling).

Figure 6.2 illustrates the two aspects of the test procedures for measuring emissions: the equipment with the sampling lines in raw and diluted exhaust gas and the operations requested to calculate the pollutant emissions in steady-state and transient test cycles.

Figure 6.2

Test procedures for emission measurement

[Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]

7.2.2. Work determination

The work shall be determined over the test cycle by synchronously multiplying speed and brake torque to calculate instantaneous values for engine brake power. Engine brake power shall be integrated over the test cycle to determine total work.

7.3. Verification and calibration

7.3.1. Pre-test procedures

7.3.1.1. Preconditioning

To achieve stable conditions, the sampling system and the engine shall be preconditioned before starting a test sequence as specified in this point.

The intent of engine preconditioning is to achieve the representativeness of emissions and emission controls over the duty cycle and to reduce bias in order to meet stable conditions for the following emission test.

Emissions may be measured during preconditioning cycles, as long as a predefined number of preconditioning cycles are performed and the measurement system has been started according to the requirements of point 7.3.1.4. The amount of preconditioning shall be identified by the engine manufacturer before starting to precondition. Preconditioning shall be performed as follows, noting that the specific cycles for preconditioning are the same ones that apply for emission testing.

7.3.1.1.1. Preconditioning for cold-start run of NRTC

The engine shall be preconditioned by running at least one hot-start NRTC. Immediately after completing each preconditioning cycle, the engine shall be shut down and the engine-off hot-soak period shall be completed. Immediately after completing the last preconditioning cycle, the engine shall be shut down and the engine cool down described in point 7.3.1.2 shall be started.

7.3.1.1.2. Preconditioning for hot-start run of NRTC or for LSI-NRTC

This point describes the pre-conditioning that shall be applied when it is intended to sample emissions from the hot-start NRTC without running the cold-start run of the NRTC (‘cold-start NRTC’), or for the LSI-NRTC. The engine shall be preconditioned by running at least one hot-start NRTC or LSI-NRTC as applicable. Immediately after completing each preconditioning cycle, the engine shall be shut down, and then the next cycle shall be started as soon as practical. It is recommended that the next preconditioning cycle shall be started within 60 seconds after completing the last preconditioning cycle. Where applicable, following the last pre-conditioning cycle the appropriate hot-soak (hot-start NRTC) or cool-down (LSI-NRTC) period shall apply before the engine is started for the emissions test. Where no hot-soak or cool down period applies it is recommended that the emissions test shall be started within 60 seconds after completing the last pre-conditioning cycle.

7.3.1.1.3. Preconditioning for discrete-mode NRSC

For engine categories other than NRS and NRSh the engine shall be warmed-up and run until engine temperatures (cooling water and lube oil) have been stabilized on 50 % speed and 50 % torque for any discrete-mode NRSC test cycle other than type D2, E2, or G, or nominal engine speed and 50 % torque for any discrete-mode NRSC test cycle D2, E2 or G. The 50 % speed shall be calculated in accordance with point 5.2.5.1 in the case of an engine where MTS is used for the generation of test speeds, and calculated in accordance with point 7.7.1.3 in all other cases. 50 % torque is defined as 50 % of the maximum available torque at this speed. The emissions test shall be started without stopping the engine.

For engine categories NRS and NRSh the engine shall be warmed up according to the recommendation of the manufacturer and good engineering judgment. Before emission sampling can start, the engine shall be running on mode 1 of the appropriate test cycle until engine temperatures have been stabilized. The emissions test shall be started without stopping the engine.

7.3.1.1.4. Preconditioning for RMC

The engine manufacturer shall select one of the following pre-conditioning sequences (a) or (b). The engine shall be pre-conditioned according to the chosen sequence.

(a) The engine shall be preconditioned by running at least the second half of the RMC, based on the number of test modes. The engine shall not be shut down between cycles. Immediately after completing each preconditioning cycle, the next cycle (including the emission test) shall be started as soon as practical. Where possible, it is recommended that the next cycle be started within 60 seconds after completing the last preconditioning cycle.

(b) The engine shall be warmed-up and run until engine temperatures (cooling water and lube oil) have been stabilized on 50 % speed and 50 % torque for any RMC test cycle other than type D2, E2, or G, or nominal engine speed and 50 % torque for any RMC test cycle D2, E2 or G. The 50 % speed shall be calculated in accordance with point 5.2.5.1 in the case of an engine where MTS is used for the generation of test speeds, and be calculated in accordance with point 7.7.1.3 in all other cases. 50 % torque is defined as 50 % of the maximum available torque at this speed.

7.3.1.1.5. Engine cool-down (NRTC)

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 cool down, cooling air shall not be applied until the exhaust after-treatment system has cooled below its catalytic activation temperature. Any cooling procedure that results in unrepresentative emissions is not permitted.

7.3.1.2. Verification of HC contamination

If there is any presumption of an essential HC contamination of the exhaust gas measuring system, the contamination with HC may be checked with zero gas and the hang-up may then be corrected. If the amount of contamination of the measuring system and the background HC system has to be checked, it shall be conducted within 8 hours of starting each test-cycle. The values shall be recorded for later correction. Before this check, the leak check has to be performed and the FID analyzer has to be calibrated.

7.3.1.3. 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 point 8.1.8.7;

(b) For batch sampling, clean storage media shall be connected, such as evacuated bags or tare-weighed filters;

(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, chillers, and pumps shall be allowed to stabilize at their operating temperatures;

(h) Exhaust gas dilution system flow shall be switched on at least 10 minutes before a test sequence;

(i) Calibration of gas analyzers and zeroing of continuous analyzers shall be carried out according to the procedure of the next point 7.3.1.4;

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

7.3.1.4. Calibration of gas analyzers

Appropriate gas analyzer ranges shall be selected. Emission analyzers with automatic or manual range switching are allowed. During a test using transient (NRTC or LSI-NRTC) test cycles or RMC and during a sampling period of a gaseous emission at the end of each mode for discrete-mode NRSC testing, the range of the emission analyzers may not be switched. Also the gains of an analyzer's analogue operational amplifier(s) may not be switched during a test cycle.

All continuous analyzers shall be zeroed and spanned using internationally-traceable gases that meet the specifications of point 9.5.1. FID analyzers shall be spanned on a carbon number basis of one (C

7.3.1.5. PM filter preconditioning and tare weighing

The procedures for PM filter preconditioning and tare weighing shall be followed according to point 8.2.3.

7.3.2. Post-test procedures

The following steps shall be taken after emission sampling is complete:

7.3.2.1. 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 point 8.2.1. For the single filter method and the discrete steady-state test cycle, effective PM weighting factor shall be calculated. Any sample that does not fulfil the requirements of point 8.2.1 shall be voided.

7.3.2.2. Post-test PM conditioning and weighing

Used PM sample filters 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 loaded filters have to be returned to the PM-filter conditioning chamber or room. Then the PM sample filters shall be conditioned and weighted accordingly to point 8.2.4 (PM filter post-conditioning and total weighing procedures).

7.3.2.3. Analysis of gaseous batch sampling

As soon as practical, the following shall be performed:

(a) All batch gas analyzers shall be zeroed and spanned no later than 30 minutes after the test cycle is complete or during the soak period if practical to check if gaseous analyzers are still stable;

(b) Any conventional gaseous batch samples shall be analyzed no later than 30 minutes after the hot-start NRTC is complete or during the soak period;

7.3.2.4. Drift verification

After quantifying exhaust gas, drift shall be verified as follows:

(a) For batch and continuous gas analyzers, the mean analyzer value shall be recorded after stabilizing a zero gas to the analyzer. Stabilization may include time to purge the analyzer of any sample gas, plus any additional time to account for analyzer response;

(b) The mean analyzer value shall be recorded after stabilizing the span gas to the analyzer. Stabilization may include time to purge the analyzer of any sample gas, plus any additional time to account for analyzer response;

7.4. Test cycles

The EU type-approval test shall be conducted using the appropriate NRSC and, where applicable, NRTC or LSI-NRTC, specified in Article 23 and Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628. The technical specifications and characteristics of the NRSC, NRTC and LSI-NRTC are laid down in Annex XVII and the method for determination of the load and speed settings for these test cycles set out in section 5.2.

7.4.1. Steady-state test cycles

Non-road steady-state test cycles (NRSC) are specified in Appendices 1 and 2 of Annex XVII as a list of discrete-modes NRSC (operating points), where each operating point has one value of speed and one value of torque. A NRSC shall be measured with a warmed up and running engine according to manufacturer's specification. At the choice of the manufacturer, a NRSC may be run as a discrete-mode NRSC or a RMC, as explained in points 7.4.1.1 and 7.4.1.2. It shall not be required to conduct an emission test according to both points 7.4.1.1 and 7.4.1.2.

7.4.1.1. Discrete-mode NRSC

The discrete-mode NRSC are hot running cycles where emissions shall be started to be measured after the engine is started, warmed up and running as specified in point 7.8.1.2. Each cycle consists of a number of speed and load modes (with the respective weighing factor for each mode) which cover the typical operating range of the specified engine category.

7.4.1.2. Ramped modal NRSC

The RMC are hot running cycles where emissions shall be started to be measured after the engine is started, warmed up and running as specified in point 7.8.2.1. The engine shall be continuously controlled by the test bed control unit during the RMC. The gaseous and particulate emissions shall be measured and sampled continuously during the RMC in the same way as in a transient (NRTC or LSI-NRTC) test cycles.

An RMC is intended to provide a method for performing a steady-state test in a pseudo-transient manner. Each RMC consists of a series of steady state modes with a linear transition between them. The relative total time at each mode and its preceding transition match the weighting of the discrete-mode NRSC. The change in engine speed and load from one mode to the next one has to be linearly controlled in a time of 20 ± 1 seconds. The mode change time is part of the new mode (including the first mode). In some cases modes are not run in the same order as the discrete-mode NRSC or are split to prevent extreme changes in temperature.

7.4.2. Transient (NRTC and LSI-NRTC) test cycles

The non-road transient cycle for engines of category NRE (NRTC) and the non-road transient cycle for large spark ignition engines of category NRS (LSI-NRTC) are each specified in Appendix 3 of Annex XVII as a second-by-second sequence of normalized speed and torque values. In order to perform the test in an engine test cell, the normalized values shall be converted to their equivalent reference values for the individual engine to be tested, based on specific speed and torque values identified in the engine-mapping curve. The conversion is referred to as denormalization, and the resulting test cycle is the reference NRTC or LSI-NRTC test cycle of the engine to be tested (see point 7.7.2).

7.4.2.1. Test sequence for NRTC

A graphical display of the normalized NRTC dynamometer schedule is shown in Figure 6.3.

Figure 6.3

NRTC normalized dynamometer schedule

[Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]

The NRTC shall be run twice after completion of pre-conditioning (see point 7.3.1.1.1) in accordance with the following procedure:

(a) the cold start after the engine and exhaust after-treatment systems have cooled down to room temperature after natural engine cool down, or the cold start after forced cool down and the engine, coolant and oil temperatures, exhaust after-treatment systems and all engine control devices are stabilized between 293 K and 303 K (20 °C and 30 °C). The measurement of the cold start emissions shall be started with the start of the cold engine;

(b) the hot soak period shall commence immediately upon completion of the cold start phase. The engine shall be shut-down and conditioned for the hot-start run by soaking it for 20 minutes ± 1 minute;

(c) the hot-start run shall be started immediately after the soak period with the cranking of the engine. The gaseous analyzers shall be switched on at least 10 seconds before the end of the soak period to avoid switching signal peaks. The measurement of emissions shall be started in parallel with the start of the hot-start NRTC, including the cranking of the engine.

Brake specific emissions expressed in (g/kWh) shall be determined by using the procedures set out in this section for both the cold-start and hot-start NRTC. Composite weighted emissions shall be computed by weighting the cold-start run results by 10 % and the hot-start run results by 90 % as detailed in Annex VII.

7.4.2.2. Test sequence for LSI-NRTC

The LSI-NRTC shall be run once as a hot-start run after completion of pre-conditioning (see point 7.3.1.1.2) in accordance with the following procedure:

(a) the engine shall be started and operated for the first 180 seconds of the duty cycle, then operated at idle without load for 30 seconds. Emissions shall not be measured during this warm-up sequence.

(b) At the end of the 30-second idling period, emissions measurement shall be started and the engine be operated over the entire duty cycle from the beginning (time 0 sec).

Brake specific emissions expressed in (g/kWh) shall be determined by using the procedures of Annex VII.

If the engine was already operating before the test, use good engineering judgment to let the engine cool down enough so measured emissions will accurately represent those from an engine starting at room temperature. For example, if an engine starting at room temperature warms up enough in three minutes to start closed-loop operation and achieve full catalyst activity, then minimal engine cooling is necessary before starting the next test.

With the prior agreement of the technical service, the engine warm-up procedure may include up to 15 minutes of operation over the duty cycle.

7.5. General test sequence

To measure engine emissions the following steps have to be performed:

(a) The engine test speeds and test loads have to be defined for the engine to be tested by measuring the max torque (for constant-speed engines) or max torque curve (for variable-speed engines) as function of the engine speed;

(b) Normalized test cycles have to be denormalized with the torque (for constant-speed engines) or speeds and torques (for variable-speed engines) found in the previous point 7.5(a);

(c) The engine, equipment, and measurement instruments shall be prepared for the following emission test or test series (cold-start run and hot-start run) in advance;

(d) Pre-test procedures shall be performed to verify proper operation of certain equipment and analyzers. All analysers have to be calibrated. All pre-test data shall be recorded;

(e) The engine shall be started (NRTC) or kept running (steady-state cycles and LSI-NRTC) at the beginning of the test cycle and the sampling systems shall be started at the same time;

(f) Emissions and other required parameters shall be measured or recorded during sampling time (for NRTC, LSI-NRTC and RMC throughout the whole test cycle);

(g) Post-test procedures shall be performed to verify proper operation of certain equipment and analyzers;

(h) PM filter(s) shall be pre-conditioned, weighed (empty weight), loaded, re-conditioned, again weighed (loaded weight) and then samples shall be evaluated according to pre- (para. 7.3.1.5) and post-test (para. 7.3.2.2) procedures;

(i) Emission test results shall be evaluated.

Figure 6.4 gives an overview about the procedures needed to conduct NRMM test cycles with measuring exhaust engine emissions.

Figure 6.4

Test sequence

7.5.1. Engine starting, and restarting

7.5.1.1. Engine start

The engine shall be started:

(a) As recommended in the end-users' instructions using a production starter motor or air-start system and either an adequately charged battery, a suitable power supply or a suitable compressed air source; or

(b) By using the dynamometer to crank the engine until it starts. Typically operate the engine within ± 25 % of its typical in-use cranking speed or start the engine by linearly increasing the dynamometer speed from zero to 100 min

– 1

below low idle speed but only until the engine starts.

Cranking shall be stopped within 1 s of starting the engine. If the engine does not start after 15 s of cranking, cranking shall be stopped and the reason for the failure to start determined, unless the end-users' instructions or the service-repair manual describes a longer cranking time as normal.

7.5.1.2. Engine stalling

(a) If the engine stalls anywhere during the cold-start NRTC, the test shall be voided;

(b) If the engine stalls anywhere during the hot-start NRTC, the test shall be voided. The engine shall be soaked according to point 7.4.2.1(b), and the hot-start run repeated. In this case, the cold-start run does not need to be repeated;

(d) If the engine stalls anywhere during the NRSC (discrete or ramped), the test shall be voided and be repeated beginning with the engine warm-up procedure. In the case of PM measurement utilizing the multi-filter method (one sampling filter for each operating mode), the test shall be continued by stabilizing the engine at the previous mode for engine temperature conditioning and then initiating measurement with the mode where the engine stalled.

7.5.1.3 Engine operation

The ‘operator’ may be a person (i.e., manual), or a governor (i.e., automatic) that mechanically or electronically signals an input that demands engine output. Input may be from an accelerator pedal or signal, a throttle-control lever or signal, a fuel lever or signal, a speed lever or signal, or a governor set point or signal.

7.6. Engine mapping

Before starting the engine mapping, the engine shall be warmed up and towards the end of the warm up it shall be operated for at least 10 minutes at maximum power or according to the recommendation of the manufacturer and good engineering judgement in order to stabilize the engine coolant and lube oil temperatures. When the engine is stabilized, the engine mapping shall be performed.

Where the manufacturer intends to use the torque signal broadcast by the electronic control unit, of engines so equipped, during the conduct of in-service monitoring tests according to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/655 on monitoring of emissions of in-service engines, the verification set out in Appendix 3 shall additionally be performed during the engine mapping.

Except constant-speed engines, engine mapping shall be performed with fully open fuel lever or governor using discrete speeds in ascending order. The minimum and maximum mapping speeds are defined as follows:

Minimum mapping speed

warm idle speed

Maximum mapping speed

× 1,02 or speed where max torque drops off to zero, whichever is smaller.

Where:

is the high speed, as defined in Article 2(12).

If the highest speed is unsafe or unrepresentative (e.g., for ungoverned engines), good engineering judgement shall be used to map up to the maximum safe speed or the maximum representative speed.

7.6.1. Engine mapping for variable-speed NRSC

In the case of engine mapping for a variable-speed NRSC (only for engines which have not to run the NRTC or LSI-NRTC cycle), good engineering judgment shall be used to select a sufficient number of evenly spaced set-points. At each set-point, speed shall be stabilized and torque allowed to stabilize at least for 15 seconds. The mean speed and torque shall be recorded at each set-point. It is recommended that the mean speed and torque are calculated using the recorded data from the last 4 to 6 seconds. Linear interpolation shall be used to determine the NRSC test speeds and torques if needed. When engines are additionally required to run an NRTC or LSI-NRTC, the NRTC engine mapping curve shall be used to determine steady-state test speeds and torques.

At the choice of the manufacturer the engine mapping may alternatively be conducted according to the procedure in point 7.6.2.

7.6.2. Engine mapping for NRTC and LSI-NRTC

The engine mapping shall be performed according to the following procedure:

(a) The engine shall be unloaded and operated at idle speed;

(i) For engines with a low-speed governor, the operator demand shall be set to the minimum, the dynamometer or another loading device shall be used to target a torque of zero on the engine's primary output shaft and the engine shall be allowed to govern the speed. This warm idle speed shall be measured;

(ii) For engines without a low-speed governor, the dynamometer shall be set to target a torque of zero on the engine's primary output shaft, and the operator demand shall be set to control the speed to the manufacturer-declared lowest engine speed possible with minimum load (also known as manufacturer-declared warm idle speed);

(iii) The manufacturer declared idle torque may be used for all variable-speed engines (with or without a low-speed governor), if a nonzero idle torque is representative of in-use operation;

(b) Operator demand shall be set to maximum and engine speed shall be controlled to between warm idle and 95 % of its warm idle speed. For engines with reference duty cycles, which lowest speed is greater than warm idle speed, the mapping may be started at between the lowest reference speed and 95 % of the lowest reference speed;

– 1

/s or the engine shall be mapped by using a continuous sweep of speed at a constant rate such that it takes 4 to 6 min to sweep from minimum to maximum mapping speed. The mapping speed range shall be started between warm idle and 95 % of warm idle and ended at the highest speed above maximum power at which less than 70 % of maximum power occurs. If this highest speed is unsafe or unrepresentative (e.g., for ungoverned engines), good engineering judgment shall be used to map up to the maximum safe speed or the maximum representative speed. Engine speed and torque points shall be recorded at a sample rate of at least 1 Hz;

(d) 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 section for reasons of safety or representativeness shall be approved by the 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;

(e) An engine need not be mapped before each and every test cycle. An engine shall be remapped if:

(i) an unreasonable amount of time has transpired since the last map, as determined by good engineering judgment; or

(ii) physical changes or recalibrations have been made to the engine which potentially affect engine performance; or

(iii) the atmospheric pressure near the engine's air inlet is not within ± 5 kPa of the value recorded at the time of the last engine map.

7.6.3. Engine mapping for constant-speed NRSC

The engine may be operated with a production constant-speed governor or a constant-speed governor maybe simulated by controlling engine speed with an operator demand control system. Either isochronous or speed-droop governor operation shall be used, as appropriate.

7.6.3.1. Rated power check for engines to be tested on cycles D2 or E2

The following check shall be conducted:

(a) With the governor or simulated governor controlling speed using operator demand the engine shall be operated at the rated speed and the rated power for as long as required to achieve stable operation;

(b) The torque shall be increased until the engine is unable to maintain the governed speed. The power at this point shall be recorded. Before this check is performed the method to safely determine when this point has been reached shall be agreed between the manufacturer and the technical service conducting the check, depending upon the characteristics of the governor. The power recorded at point (b) shall not exceed the rated power as defined in Article 3(25) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 by more than 12,5 %. If this value is exceeded the manufacturer shall revise the declared rated power.

If the specific engine being tested is unable to perform this check due to risk of damage to the engine or dynamometer the manufacturer shall present to the approval authority robust evidence that maximum power does not exceed the rated power by more than 12,5 %.

7.6.3.2. Mapping procedure for constant-speed NRSC

(a) With the governor or simulated governor controlling speed using operator demand, the engine shall be operated at no-load governed speed (at high speed, not low idle) for at least 15 seconds, unless the specific engine is unable to perform this task;

(b) The dynamometer shall be used to increase torque at a constant rate. The map shall be conducted such that it takes no less than 2 min to sweep from no-load governed speed to the torque corresponding to rated power for engines to be tested on cycle D2 or E2 or to maximum torque in the case of other constant-speed test cycles. During the engine mapping actual speed and torque shall be recorded with at least 1 Hz;

(c) In case of a constant-speed engine with a governor that can be reset to alternative speeds, the engine shall be tested at each applicable constant-speed.

For constant-speed engines good engineering judgment shall be used in agreement with the approval authority to apply other methods to record torque and power at the defined operating speed(s).

For engines tested on cycles other than D2 or E2, when both measured and declared values are available for the maximum torque, the declared value may be used instead of the measured value if it is between 95 and 100 % of the measured value.

7.7. Test cycle generation

7.7.1. Generation of NRSC

This point shall be used to generate the engine speeds and loads over which the engine shall be operated during steady-state tests with discrete-mode NRSC or RMC.

7.7.1.1. Generation of NRSC test speeds for engines tested with both NRSC and either NRTC or LSI-NRTC.

For engines that are tested with either NRTC or LSI-NRTC in addition to a NRSC, the MTS specified in point 5.2.5.1 shall be used as the 100 % speed for both transient and steady state tests.

The MTS shall be used in place of rated speed when determining intermediate speed in accordance with point 5.2.5.4.

The idle speed shall be determined in accordance with point 5.2.5.5.

7.7.1.2. Generation of NRSC test speeds for engines only tested with NRSC

For engines that are not tested with a transient (NRTC or LSI-NRTC) test cycle, the rated speed specified in point 5.2.5.3 shall be used as the 100 % speed.

The rated speed shall be used to determine the intermediate speed in accordance with point 5.2.5.4. If the NRSC specifies additional speeds as a percentage they shall be calculated as a percentage of the rated speed.

The idle speed shall be determined in accordance with point 5.2.5.5.

With prior approval of the technical service, MTS may be used instead of rated speed for the generation of test speeds in this point.

7.7.1.3. Generation of NRSC load for each test mode

The per cent load for each test mode of the chosen test cycle shall be taken from the appropriate NRSC Table of Appendix 1 or 2 of Annex XVII. Depending upon the test cycle, the per cent load in these Tables is expressed as either power or torque in accordance with point 5.2.6 and in the footnotes for each Table.

The 100 % value at a given test speed shall be the measured or declared value taken from the mapping curve generated in accordance with point 7.6.1, point 7.6.2 or point 7.6.3 respectively, expressed as power (kW).

The engine setting for each test mode shall be calculated by means of equation (6-14):

A warm minimum torque that is representative of in-use operation may be declared and used for any load point that would otherwise fall below this value if the engine type will not normally operate below this minimum torque, for example because it will be connected to a non-road mobile machinery that does not operate below a certain minimum torque.

In the case of cycles E2 and D2 the manufacturer shall declare the rated power and these shall be used as 100 % power when generating the test cycle.

7.7.2. Generation of NRTC & LSI-NRTC speed and load for each test point (denormalization)

This point shall be used to generate the corresponding engine speeds and loads over which the engine shall be operated during NRTC or LSI-NRTC tests. Appendix 3 of Annex XVII defines applicable test cycles in a normalized format. A normalized test cycle consists of a sequence of paired values for speed and torque %.

Normalized values of speed and torque shall be transformed using the following conventions:

(a) The normalized speed shall be transformed into a sequence of reference speeds,

ref

, in accordance with point 7.7.2.2;

(b) The normalized torque is expressed as a percentage of the mapped torque from the curve generated according to point 7.6.2 at the corresponding reference speed. These normalized values shall be transformed into a sequence of reference torques,

, according to point 7.7.2.3;

(c) The reference speed and reference torque values expressed in coherent units are multiplied to calculate the reference power values.

(a) Declared minimum torque

A minimum torque that is representative of in-use operation may be declared. For example, if the engine is typically connected to a non-road mobile machinery that does not operate below a certain minimum torque, this torque may be declared and used for any load point that would otherwise fall below this value.

(b) Adjustment of engine torque due to auxiliaries fitted for the emissions test

Where auxiliaries are fitted in accordance with Appendix 2 there shall be no adjustment to the maximum torque for the respective test speed taken from the engine mapping performed according to point 7.6.2.

Where, according to points 6.3.2 or 6.3.3 necessary auxiliaries that should have been fitted for the test are not installed, or auxiliaries that should have been removed for the test are installed, the value of

7.8. Specific test cycle running procedure

7.8.1. Emission test sequence for discrete-mode NRSC

7.8.1.1. Engine warming-up for steady state discrete-mode NRSC

7.8.1.2. Performing discrete-mode NRSC

(a) The test shall be performed in ascending order of mode numbers as set out for the test cycle (see Appendix 1 of Annex XVII);

(b) Each mode has a mode length of at least 10 minutes, except when testing spark ignition engines using cycles G1, G2 or G3 where each mode has a length of at least 3 minutes. In each mode the engine shall be stabilized for at least 5 minutes and emissions shall be sampled for 1-3 minutes for gaseous emissions and, where there is an applicable limit, PN at the end of each mode, except when testing spark ignition engines using cycles G1, G2 or G3 where emissions shall be sampled for at least the last 2 minutes of the respective test mode. Extended time of sampling is permitted to improve the accuracy of PM sampling;

The mode length shall be recorded and reported.

(c) The PM sampling may be done either with the single filter method or with the multiple filter method. Since the results of the methods may differ slightly, the method used shall be declared with the results;

For the single filter method the modal weighting factors specified in the test cycle procedure and the actual exhaust gas flow shall be taken into account during sampling by adjusting sample flow rate and/or sampling time, accordingly. It is required that the effective weighing factor of the PM sampling is within ± 0,005 of the weighing factor of the given mode;

Sampling shall be conducted as late as possible within each mode. For the single filter method, the completion of PM sampling shall be coincident within ± 5 s with the completion of the gaseous emission measurement. The sampling time per mode shall be at least 20 s for the single filter method and at least 60 s for the multi-filter method. For systems without bypass capability, the sampling time per mode shall be at least 60 s for single and multiple filter methods;

(d) The engine speed and load, intake air temperature, fuel flow and where applicable air or exhaust gas flow shall be measured for each mode at the same time interval which is used for the measurement of the gaseous concentrations;

Any additional data required for calculation shall be recorded.

(e) If the engine stalls or the emission sampling is interrupted at any time after emission sampling begins for a discrete-mode NRSC and the single filter method, the test shall be voided and be repeated beginning with the engine warm-up procedure. In the case of PM measurement utilizing the multi-filter method (one sampling filter for each operating mode), the test shall be continued by stabilizing the engine at the previous mode for engine temperature conditioning and then initiating measurement with the mode where the engine stalled;

(f) Post-test procedures according to point 7.3.2 shall be performed.

7.8.1.3. Validation criteria

During each mode of the given steady-state test cycle after the initial transition period, the measured speed shall not deviate from the reference speed for more than ± 1 % of rated speed or ± 3 min

– 1

, whichever is greater except for idle which shall be within the tolerances declared by the manufacturer. The measured torque shall not deviate from the reference torque for more than ± 2 % of the maximum torque at the test speed.

7.8.2. Emission test sequence for RMC

7.8.2.1. Engine warming-up

Pre-test procedure according to point 7.3.1 shall be performed, including analyzer calibration. The engine shall be warmed-up using the pre-conditioning sequence in point 7.3.1.1.4. Immediately after this engine conditioning procedure, if the engine speed and torque are not already set for the first mode of the test they shall be changed in a linear ramp of 20 ± 1 s to the first mode of the test. In between 5 to 10 s after the end of the ramp, the test cycle measurement shall start.

7.8.2.2. Performing an RMC

The test shall be performed in the order of mode numbers as set out for the test cycle (see Appendix 2 of Annex XVII) Where there is no RMC available for the specified NRSC the discrete-mode NRSC procedure set out in point 7.8.1 shall be followed.

The engine shall be operated for the prescribed time in each mode. The transition from one mode to the next shall be done linearly in 20 s ± 1 s following the tolerances prescribed in point 7.8.2.4.

For RMC, reference speed and torque values shall be generated at a minimum frequency of 1 Hz and this sequence of points shall be used to run the cycle. During the transition between modes, the denormalized reference speed and torque values shall be linearly ramped between modes to generate reference points. The normalized reference torque values shall not be linearly ramped between modes and then denormalized. If the speed and torque ramp runs through a point above the engine's torque curve, it shall be continued to command the reference torques and it shall be allowed for the operator demand to go to maximum.

Over the whole RMC (during each mode and including the ramps between the modes), the concentration of each gaseous pollutant shall be measured and where there is an applicable limit the PM and PN be sampled. The gaseous pollutants may be measured raw or diluted and be recorded continuously; if diluted, they can also be sampled into a sampling bag. The particulate sample shall be diluted with conditioned and clean air. One sample over the complete test procedure shall be taken, and, in the case of PM collected on a single PM sampling filter.

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

7.8.2.3. Emission test sequence

(a) Execution of the RMC, sampling exhaust gas, recording data, and integrating measured values shall be started simultaneously;

(b) Speed and torque shall be controlled to the first mode in the test cycle;

(c) If the engine stalls anywhere during the RMC execution, the test shall be voided. The engine shall be pre-conditioned and the test repeated;

(d) At the end of the RMC, sampling shall be continued, except for PM sampling, operating all systems to allow system response time to elapse. Then all sampling and recording shall be stopped, including the recording of background samples. Finally, any integrating devices shall be stopped and the end of the test cycle shall be indicated in the recorded data;

(e) Post-test procedures according to point 7.3.2 shall be performed.

7.8.2.4. Validation criteria

RMC tests shall be validated using the regression analysis as described in points 7.8.3.3 and 7.8.3.5. The allowed RMC tolerances are given in the following Table 6.1. Note that the RMC tolerances are different from the NRTC tolerances of Table 6.2. When conducting testing of engines of net power greater than 560 kW the regression line tolerances of Table 6.2 and the point deletion of Table 6.3 may be used.

Table 6.1

RMC Regression line tolerances

	Speed	Torque	Power
Standard error of estimate (SEE) of y on x	maximum 1 % of rated speed	maximum 2 % of maximum engine torque	maximum 2 % of maximum engine power
Slope of the regression line, a 1	0,99 to 1,01	0,98 - 1,02	0,98 - 1,02
Coefficient of determination, r 2	minimum 0,990	minimum 0,950	minimum 0,950
y intercept of the regression line, a 0	± 1 % of rated speed	± 20 Nm or 2 % of maximum torque whichever is greater	± 4 kW or 2 % of maximum power whichever is greater

In case of running the RMC test not on a transient test bed, where the second by second speed and torque values are not available, the following validation criteria shall be used.

At each mode the requirements for the speed and torque tolerances are given in point 7.8.1.3. For the 20 s linear speed and linear torque transitions between the RMC steady-state test modes (point 7.4.1.2) the following tolerances for speed and load shall be applied for the ramp:

(a) the speed shall be held linear within ± 2 % of rated speed,

(b) the torque shall be held linear within ± 5 % of the maximum torque at rated speed.

7.8.3. Transient (NRTC and LSI-NRTC) test cycles

Reference speeds and torques commands shall be sequentially executed to perform the NRTC and LSI-NRTC. Speed and torque commands shall be issued at a frequency of at least 5 Hz. Because the reference test cycle is specified at 1 Hz, the in between speed and torque commands shall be linearly interpolated from the reference torque values generated from cycle generation.

Small denormalized speed values near warm idle speed may cause low-speed idle governors to activate and the engine torque to exceed the reference torque even though the operator demand is at a minimum. In such cases, it is recommended to control the dynamometer so it gives priority to follow the reference torque instead of the reference speed and let the engine govern the speed.

Under cold-start conditions engines may use an enhanced-idle device to quickly warm up the engine and the exhaust after-treatment system. Under these conditions, very low normalized speeds will generate reference speeds below this higher enhanced idle speed. In this case it is recommended controlling the dynamometer so it gives priority to follow the reference torque and let the engine govern the speed when the operator demand is at minimum.

During an emission test, reference speeds and torques and the feedback speeds and torques shall be recorded with a minimum frequency of 1 Hz, but preferably of 5 Hz or even 10 Hz. This larger recording frequency is important as it helps to minimize the biasing effect of the time lag between the reference and the measured feedback speed and torque values.

The reference and feedback speeds and torques maybe recorded at lower frequencies (as low as 1 Hz), if the average values over the time interval between recorded values are recorded. The average values shall be calculated based on feedback values updated at a frequency of at least 5 Hz. These recorded values shall be used to calculate cycle-validation statistics and total work.

7.8.3.1. Performing an NRTC test

Pre-test procedures according to point 7.3.1 shall be performed, including pre-conditioning, cool-down and analyzer calibration.

Testing shall be started as follows:

The test sequence shall commence immediately after the engine has started from cooled down condition specified in point 7.3.1.2 in case of the cold-start NRTC or from hot soak condition in case of the hot-start NRTC. The sequence in point 7.4.2.1 shall be followed.

Data logging, sampling of exhaust gas and integrating measured values shall be initiated simultaneously at the start of the engine. The test cycle shall be initiated when the engine starts and shall be executed according to the schedule of Appendix 3 of Annex XVII.

At the end of the cycle, sampling shall be continued, operating all systems to allow system response time to elapse. Then all sampling and recording shall be stopped, including the recording of background samples. Finally, any integrating devices shall be stopped and the end of the test cycle shall be indicated in the recorded data.

Post-test procedures according to point 7.3.2 shall be performed.

7.8.3.2. Performing an LSI-NRTC test

Pre-test procedures according to point 7.3.1 shall be performed, including pre-conditioning and analyzer calibration.

Testing shall be started as follows:

The test shall commence according to the sequence given in point 7.4.2.2.

Data logging, sampling of exhaust gas and integrating measured values shall be initiated simultaneously with the start of the LSI-NRTC at the end of the 30-second idle period specified in point 7.4.2.2(b). The test cycle shall be executed according to the schedule of Appendix 3 of Annex XVII.

Post-test procedures according to point 7.3.2 shall be performed.

7.8.3.3. Cycle validation criteria for transient (NRTC and LSI-NRTC) test cycles

In order to check the validity of a test, the cycle-validation criteria in this point shall be applied to the reference and feedback values of speed, torque, power and overall work.

7.8.3.4. Calculation of cycle work

Before calculating the cycle work, any speed and torque values recorded during engine starting shall be omitted. Points with negative torque values have to be accounted for as zero work. The actual cycle work

act

(kWh) shall be calculated based on engine feedback speed and torque values. The reference cycle work

ref

(kWh) shall be calculated based on engine reference speed and torque values. The actual cycle work

act

is used for comparison to the reference cycle work

ref

and for calculating the brake specific emissions (see point 7.2).

act

shall be between 85 % and 105 % of

ref

7.8.3.5. Validation statistics (see Appendix 2 of Annex VII)

Linear regression between the reference and the feedback values shall be calculated for speed, torque and power.

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

The method of least squares shall be used, with the best-fit equation having the form set out in equation (6-19):

y= a 1 x + a 0

(6-19)

where:

is the feedback value of speed (min

– 1

), torque (Nm), or power (kW)

is the slope of the regression line

is the reference value of speed (min

– 1

), torque (Nm), or power (kW)

is the

intercept of the regression line.

The standard error of estimate (

SEE

) of

and the coefficient of determination (

) shall be calculated for each regression line in accordance with Appendix 3 of Annex VII.

It is recommended that this analysis be performed at 1 Hz. For a test to be considered valid, the criteria of Table 6.2 shall be met.

Table 6.2

Regression line tolerances

	Speed	Torque	Power
Standard error of estimate (SEE) of y on x	≤ 5,0 percent of maximum test speed	≤ 10,0 % of maximum mapped torque	≤ 10,0 % of maximum mapped power
Slope of the regression line, a 1	0,95 to 1,03	0,83 - 1,03	0,89 - 1,03
Coefficient of determination, r 2	minimum 0,970	minimum 0,850	minimum 0,910
y intercept of the regression line, a 0	≤ 10 % of idle	± 20 Nm or ± 2 % of maximum torque whichever is greater	± 4 kW or ± 2 % of maximum power whichever is greater

For regression purposes only, point deletions are permitted where noted in Table 6.3 before doing the regression calculation. However, those points shall not be deleted for the calculation of cycle work and emissions. An idle point is defined as a point having a normalized reference torque of 0 % and a normalized reference speed of 0 %. Point deletion may be applied to the whole or to any part of the cycle; points to which the point deletion is applied have to be specified.

Table 6.3

Permitted point deletions from regression analysis

Event	Conditions (n = engine speed, T = torque)	Permitted point deletions
Minimum operator demand (idle point)	n ref = n idle and T ref = 0 % and T act > (T ref – 0,02 T maxmappedtorque) and T act < (T ref + 0,02 T maxmappedtorque)	speed and power
Minimum operator demand	n act ≤ 1,02 n ref and T act > T ref or n act > n ref and T act ≤ T ref' or n act > 1,02 n ref and T ref < T act ≤ (T ref + 0,02 T maxmappedtorque)	power and either torque or speed
Maximum operator demand	n act < n ref and T act ≥ T ref or n act ≥ 0,98 n ref and T act < T ref or n act < 0,98 n ref and T ref > T act ≥ (T ref – 0,02 T maxmappedtorque)	power and either torque or speed

8.1.3. Verifications for accuracy, repeatability, and noise

The performance values for individual instruments specified in Table 6.8 are the basis for the determination of the accuracy, repeatability, and noise of an instrument.

It is not required to verify instrument accuracy, repeatability, or noise. However, it may be useful to consider these verifications to define a specification for a new instrument, to verify the performance of a new instrument upon delivery, or to troubleshoot an existing instrument.

8.1.4. Linearity verification

8.1.4.1. Scope and frequency

A linearity verification shall be performed on each measurement system listed in Table 6.5 at least as frequently as indicated in the Table, consistent with measurement system manufacturer recommendations and good engineering judgment. The intent of a linearity verification is to determine that a measurement system responds proportionally over the measurement range of interest. A linearity verification shall consist of introducing a series of at least 10 reference values to a measurement system, unless otherwise specified. The measurement system quantifies each reference value. The measured values shall be collectively compared to the reference values by using a least squares linear regression and the linearity criteria specified in Table 6.5.

8.1.4.2. Performance requirements

If a measurement system does not meet the applicable linearity criteria in Table 6.5, the deficiency shall be corrected by re-calibrating, servicing, or replacing components as needed. The linearity verification shall be repeated after correcting the deficiency to ensure that the measurement system meets the linearity criteria.

8.1.4.3. Procedure

The following linearity verification protocol shall be used:

(a) A measurement system shall be operated at its specified temperatures, pressures, and flows;

(b) The instrument shall be zeroed as it would before an emission test by introducing a zero signal. For gas analyzers, a zero gas shall be used that meets the specifications of point 9.5.1 and it shall be introduced directly at the analyzer port;

(c) The instrument shall be spanned as it would before an emission test by introducing a span signal. For gas analyzers, a span gas shall be used that meets the specifications of point 9.5.1 and it shall be introduced directly at the analyzer port;

(d) After spanning the instrument, zero shall be checked with the same signal which has been used in paragraph (b) of this point. Based on the zero reading, good engineering judgment shall be used to determine whether or not to re-zero and or re-span the instrument before proceeding to the next step;

(e) For all measured quantities manufacturer recommendations and good engineering judgment shall be used to select the reference values,

ref

, that cover the full range of values that are expected during emission testing, thus avoiding the need of extrapolation beyond these values. A zero reference signal shall be selected as one of the reference values of the linearity verification. For stand-alone pressure and temperature linearity verifications, at least three reference values shall be selected. For all other linearity verifications, at least ten reference values shall be selected;

(f) Instrument manufacturer recommendations and good engineering judgment shall be used to select the order in which the series of reference values will be introduced;

(g) Reference quantities shall be generated and introduced as described in point 8.1.4.4. For gas analyzers, gas concentrations known to be within the specifications of point 9.5.1 shall be used and they shall be introduced directly at the analyzer port;

(h) Time for the instrument to stabilize while it measures the reference value shall be allowed;

(i) At a recording frequency of at least the minimum frequency, as specified in Table 6.7, the reference value shall be measured for 30 s and the arithmetic mean of the recorded values,

[Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]

recorded;

(j) Steps in paragraphs (g) to (i) of this point shall be repeated until all reference quantities are measured;

(k) The arithmetic means

[Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]

, and reference values,

ref

, shall be used to calculate least-squares linear regression parameters and statistical values to compare to the minimum performance criteria specified in Table 6.5. The calculations described in Appendix 3 of Annex VII shall be used.

8.1.4.4. Reference signals

This point describes recommended methods for generating reference values for the linearity-verification protocol in point 8.1.4.3. Reference values shall be used that simulate actual values, or an actual value shall be introduced and measured with a reference-measurement system. In the latter case, the reference value is the value reported by the reference-measurement system. Reference values and reference-measurement systems shall be internationally traceable.

For temperature measurement systems with sensors like thermocouples, RTDs, and thermistors, the linearity verification may be performed by removing the sensor from the system and using a simulator in its place. A simulator that is independently calibrated and cold junction compensated, as necessary shall be used. The internationally traceable simulator uncertainty scaled to temperature shall be less than 0,5 % of maximum operating temperature

max

. If this option is used, it is necessary to use sensors that the supplier states are accurate to better than 0,5 % of

max

compared to their standard calibration curve.

8.1.4.5. Measurement systems that require linearity verification

Table 6.5 indicates measurement systems that require linearity verifications. For this Table the following provisions shall apply:

(a) a linearity verification shall be performed more frequently if the instrument manufacturer recommends it or based on good engineering judgment;

(b) ‘min’ refers to the minimum reference value used during the linearity verification;

Note that this value may be zero or a negative value depending on the signal;

(c) ‘max’ generally refers to the maximum reference value used during the linearity verification. For example for gas dividers,

max

is the undivided, undiluted, span gas concentration. The following are special cases where ‘max’ refers to a different value:

(i) For PM balance linearity verification,

max

refers to the typical mass of a PM filter;

(ii) For torque linearity verification,

max

refers to the manufacturer's specified engine torque peak value of the highest torque engine to be tested;

(d) the specified ranges are inclusive. For example, a specified range of 0,98-1,02 for the slope

means 0,98 ≤

≤ 1,02;

(e) these linearity verifications are not required for systems that pass the flow-rate verification for diluted exhaust gas as described in point 8.1.8.5 for the propane check or for systems that agree within ± 2 % based on a chemical balance of carbon or oxygen of the intake air, fuel, and exhaust gas;

(f) a

criteria for these quantities shall be met only if the absolute value of the quantity is required, as opposed to a signal that is only linearly proportional to the actual value;

(g) stand-alone temperatures include engine temperatures and ambient conditions used to set or verify engine conditions; temperatures used to set or verify critical conditions in the test system; and temperatures used in emissions calculations:

(i) these temperature linearity checks are required. Air intake; after-treatment bed(s) (for engines tested with exhaust after-treatment systems on cycles with cold start criteria); dilution air for PM sampling (CVS, double dilution, and partial flow systems); PM sample; and chiller sample (for gaseous sampling systems that use chillers to dry samples);

(ii) these temperature linearity checks are only required if specified by the engine manufacturer. Fuel inlet; test cell charge air cooler air outlet (for engines tested with a test cell heat exchanger simulating a non-road mobile machinery charge air cooler); test cell charge air cooler coolant inlet (for engines tested with a test cell heat exchanger simulating a non-road mobile machinery charge air cooler); and oil in the sump/pan; coolant before the thermostat (for liquid cooled engines);

(h) stand-alone pressures include engine pressures and ambient conditions used to set or verify engine conditions; pressures used to set or verify critical conditions in the test system; and pressures used in emissions calculations:

(i) required pressure linearity checks are: intake air pressure restriction; exhaust gas back-pressure; barometer; CVS inlet gage pressure (if measurement using CVS); chiller sample (for gaseous sampling systems that use chillers to dry samples);

(ii) pressure linearity checks that are required only if specified by the engine manufacturer: test cell charge air cooler and interconnecting pipe pressure drop (for turbo-charged engines tested with a test cell heat exchanger simulating a non-road mobile machinery charge air cooler) fuel inlet; and fuel outlet.

8.1.5. Continuous gas analyser system-response and updating-recording verification

This section describes a general verification procedure for continuous gas analyzer system response and update recording. See point 8.1.6 for verification procedures for compensation type analysers.

8.1.5.1. Scope and frequency

This verification shall be performed after installing or replacing a gas analyzer that is used for continuous sampling. Also this verification shall be performed if the system is reconfigured in a way that would change system response. This verification is needed for continuous gas analysers used for transient (NRTC and LSI-NRTC) test cycles or RMC but is not needed for batch gas analyzer systems or for continuous gas analyzer systems used only for testing with a discrete-mode NRSC.

8.1.5.2. Measurement principles

This test verifies that the updating and recording frequencies match the overall system response to a rapid change in the value of concentrations at the sample probe. Gas analyzer systems shall be optimized such that their overall response to a rapid change in concentration is updated and recorded at an appropriate frequency to prevent loss of information. This test also verifies that continuous gas analyzer systems meet a minimum response time.

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 analyzers 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 devices for gas switching shall have a specification to perform the switching in less than 0,1 s. The gases used for the test shall cause a concentration change of at least 60 % full scale (FS).

The concentration trace of each single gas component shall be recorded.

8.1.5.3. System requirements

(a) The system response time shall be ≤ 10 s with a rise time of ≤ 5 s for all measured components (CO, NO

and HC) and all ranges used.

All data (concentration, fuel and air flows) have to be shifted by their measured response times before performing the emission calculations given in Annex VII.

(b) To demonstrate acceptable updating and recording with respect to the system's overall response, the system shall meet one of the following criteria:

(i) The product of the mean rise time and the frequency at which the system records an updated concentration shall be at least 5. In any case the mean rise time shall be no more than 10 s;

(ii) The frequency at which the system records the concentration shall be at least 2 Hz (see also Table 6.7).

8.1.5.4. Procedure

The following procedure shall be used to verify the response of each continuous gas analyzer system:

(a) The analyzer system manufacturer's start-up and operating instructions for the instrument setup shall be followed. The measurement system shall be adjusted as needed to optimize performance. This verification shall be run with the analyzer operating in the same manner as used for emission testing. If the analyzer shares its sampling system with other analyzers, and if gas flow to the other analyzers will affect the system response time, then the other analyzers shall be started up and operated while running this verification test. This verification test may be run on multiple analyzers sharing the same sampling system at the same time. If analogue or real-time digital filters are used during emission testing, those filters shall be operated in the same manner during this verification;

(b) For equipment used to validate system response time, minimal gas transfer line lengths between all connections are recommended to be used, a zero-air source shall be connected to one inlet of a fast-acting 3-way valve (2 inlets, 1 outlet) in order to control the flow of zero and blended span gases to the sample system's probe inlet or a tee near the outlet of the probe. Normally the gas flow rate is higher than the probe sample flow rate and the excess is overflowed out the inlet of the probe. If the gas flow rate is lower than the probe flow rate, the gas concentrations shall be adjusted to account for the dilution from ambient air drawn into the probe. Binary or multi-gas span gases may be used. A gas blending or mixing device may be used to blend span gases. A gas blending or mixing device is recommended when blending span gases diluted in N2 with span gases diluted in air;

Using a gas divider, an NO–CO–CO

–C

–CH

(balance N

) span gas shall be equally blended with a span gas of NO

, balance purified synthetic air. Standard binary span gases may be also be used, where applicable, in place of blended NO-CO-CO

-C

-CH

, balance N

span gas; in this case separate response tests shall be run for each analyzer. The gas divider outlet shall be connected to the other inlet of the 3-way valve. The valve outlet shall be connected to an overflow at the gas analyzer system's probe or to an overflow fitting between the probe and transfer line to all the analyzers being verified. A setup that avoids pressure pulsations due to stopping the flow through the gas blending device shall be used. Any of these gas constituents if they are not relevant to the analyzers for this verification shall be omitted. Alternatively the use of gas bottles with single gases and a separate measurement of response times is allowed;

(i) The valve shall be switched to start the flow of zero gas;

(ii) Stabilization shall be allowed for, accounting for transport delays and the slowest analyzer's full response;

(iii) Data recording shall be started at the frequency used during emission testing. Each recorded value shall be a unique updated concentration measured by the analyzer; interpolation or filtering may not be used to alter recorded values;

(iv) The valve shall be switched to allow the blended span gases to flow to the analyzers. This time shall be recorded as

;

(v) Transport delays and the slowest analyzer's full response shall be allowed for;

(vi) The flow shall be switched to allow zero gas to flow to the analyzer. This time shall be recorded as

;

(vii) Transport delays and the slowest analyzer's full response shall be allowed for;

(viii)

The steps in paragraphs (c)(iv) to (vii) of this point shall be repeated to record seven full cycles, ending with zero gas flowing to the analyzers;

(ix) Recording shall be stopped.

8.1.5.5. Performance evaluation

The data from point 8.1.5.4(c) shall be used to calculate the mean rise time for each of the analyzers.

(a) If it is chosen to demonstrate compliance with point 8.1.5.3(b)(i) the following procedure has to be applied: The rise times (in s) shall be multiplied by their respective recording frequencies in Hertz (1/s). The value for each result shall be at least 5. If the value is less than 5, the recording frequency shall be increased or the flows adjusted or the design of the sampling system shall be changed to increase the rise time as needed. Also digital filters may be configured to increase rise time;

(b) If it is chosen to demonstrate compliance with point 8.1.5.3(b)(ii), the demonstration of compliance with the requirements of point 8.1.5.3(b)(ii) is sufficient.

8.1.6. Response time verification for compensation type analysers

8.1.6.1. Scope and frequency

This verification shall be performed to determine a continuous gas analyzer's response, where one analyzer's response is compensated by another's to quantify a gaseous emission. For this check water vapour shall be considered to be a gaseous constituent. This verification is required for continuous gas analyzers used for transient (NRTC and LSI-NRTC) test cycles or RMC. This verification is not needed for batch gas analyzers or for continuous gas analyzers that are used only for testing with a discrete-mode NRSC. This verification does not apply to correction for water removed from the sample done in post-processing. This verification shall be performed after initial installation (i.e. test cell commissioning). After major maintenance, point 8.1.5 may be used to verify uniform response provided that any replaced components have gone through a humidified uniform response verification at some point.

8.1.6.2. Measurement principles

This procedure verifies the time-alignment and uniform response of continuously combined gas measurements. For this procedure, it is necessary to ensure that all compensation algorithms and humidity corrections are turned on.

8.1.6.3. System requirements

The general response time and rise time requirement set out in point 8.1.5.3(a) is also valid for compensation type analysers. Additionally, if the recording frequency is different than the update frequency of the continuously combined/compensated signal, the lower of these two frequencies shall be used for the verification required by point 8.1.5.3(b)(i).

8.1.6.4. Procedure

All procedures set out in point 8.1.5.4(a) to (c) shall be used. Additionally also the response and rise time of water vapour has to be measured, if a compensation algorithm based on measured water vapour is used. In this case at least one of the used calibration gases (but not NO

) has to be humidified as follows:

If the system does not use a sample dryer to remove water from the sample gas, the span gas shall be humidified by flowing the gas mixture through a sealed vessel that humidifies the gas to the highest sample dew point that is estimated during emission sampling by bubbling it through distilled water. If the system uses a sample dryer during testing that has passed the sample dryer verification check, the humidified gas mixture may be introduced downstream of the sample dryer by bubbling it through distilled water in a sealed vessel at 298 ± 10 K (25 ± 10 °C), or a temperature greater than the dew point. In all cases, downstream of the vessel, the humidified gas shall be maintained at a temperature of at least 5 K (5 °C) above its local dew point in the line. Note that it is possible to omit any of these gas constituents if they are not relevant to the analyzers for this verification. If any of the gas constituents are not susceptible to water compensation, the response check for these analyzers may be performed without humidification.

8.1.7. Measurement of engine parameters and ambient conditions

The engine manufacturer shall apply internal quality procedures traceable to recognised national or international standards. Otherwise the following procedures apply.

8.1.7.1. Torque calibration

8.1.7.1.1. Scope and frequency

All torque-measurement systems including dynamometer torque measurement transducers and systems shall be calibrated upon initial installation and after major maintenance using, among others, reference force or lever-arm length coupled with dead weight. Good engineering judgment shall be used to repeat the calibration. The torque transducer manufacturer's instructions shall be followed for linearizing the torque sensor's output. Other calibration methods are permitted.

8.1.7.1.2. Dead-weight calibration

This technique applies a known force by hanging known weights at a known distance along a lever arm. It shall be made sure that the weights' lever arm is perpendicular to gravity (i.e., horizontal) and perpendicular to the dynamometer's rotational axis. At least six calibration-weight combinations shall be applied for each applicable torque-measuring range, spacing the weight quantities about equally over the range. The dynamometer shall be oscillated or rotated during calibration to reduce frictional static hysteresis. Each weight's force shall be determined by multiplying its internationally-traceable mass by the local acceleration of Earth's gravity.

8.1.7.1.3. Strain gage or proving ring calibration

This technique applies force either by hanging weights on a lever arm (these weights and their lever arm length are not used as part of the reference torque determination) or by operating the dynamometer at different torques. At least six force combinations shall be applied for each applicable torque-measuring range, spacing the force quantities about equally over the range. The dynamometer shall be oscillated or rotated during calibration to reduce frictional static hysteresis. In this case, the reference torque is determined by multiplying the force output from the reference meter (such as a strain gage or proving ring) by its effective lever-arm length, which is measured from the point where the force measurement is made to the dynamometer's rotational axis. It shall be made sure that this length is measured perpendicular to the reference meter's measurement axis and perpendicular to the dynamometer's rotational axis.

8.1.7.2. Pressure, temperature, and dew point calibration

Instruments shall be calibrated for measuring pressure, temperature, and dew point upon initial installation. The instrument manufacturer's instructions shall be followed and good engineering judgment shall be used to repeat the calibration.

For temperature measurement systems with thermocouple, RTD, or thermistor sensors, the calibration of the system shall be performed as described in point 8.1.4.4 for linearity verification.

8.1.8. Flow-related measurements

8.1.8.1. Fuel flow calibration

8.1.8.3. Exhaust gas flow calibration

Exhaust flow meters shall be calibrated upon initial installation. The instrument manufacturer's instructions shall be followed and good engineering judgment shall be used to repeat the calibration.

8.1.8.4. Diluted exhaust gas flow (CVS) calibration

8.1.8.4.1. Overview

(a) This section describes how to calibrate flow meters for diluted exhaust gas constant-volume sampling (CVS) systems;

(b) This calibration shall be performed while the flow meter is installed in its permanent position. This calibration shall be performed after any part of the flow configuration upstream or downstream of the flow meter has been changed that may affect the flow-meter calibration. This calibration shall be performed upon initial CVS installation and whenever corrective action does not resolve a failure to meet the diluted exhaust gas flow verification (

i.e.

, propane check) in point 8.1.8.5;

(c) A CVS flow meter shall be calibrated using a reference flow meter such as a subsonic venturi flow meter, a long-radius flow nozzle, a smooth approach orifice, a laminar flow element, a set of critical flow venturis, or an ultrasonic flow meter. A reference flow meter shall be used that reports quantities that are internationally-traceable within ± 1 % uncertainty. This reference flow meter's response to flow shall be used as the reference value for CVS flow-meter calibration;

(d) An upstream screen or other pressure restriction that could affect the flow ahead of the reference flow meter may not be used, unless the flow meter has been calibrated with such a pressure restriction;

(e) The calibration sequence described under this point 8.1.8.4 refers to the molar based approach. For the corresponding sequence used in the mass based approach, see point 2.5 of Annex VII.

(f) By the choice of the manufacturer, CFV or SSV may alternatively be removed from its permanent position for calibration as long as the following requirements are met when installed in the CVS:

(1) Upon installation of the CFV or SSV into the CVS, good engineering judgment shall be applied to verify that any leaks have not been introduced between the CVS inlet and the venturi.

(2) After ex-situ venturi calibration, all venturi flow combinations must be verified for CFVs or at minimum of 10 flow points for an SSV using the propane check as described in point 8.1.8.5. The result of the propane check for each venturi flow point may not exceed the tolerance in point 8.1.8.5.6.

(3) In order to verify the ex-situ calibration for a CVS with more than a single CFV, the following verification shall be conducted:

(i) A constant flow device shall be used to deliver a constant flow of propane to the dilution tunnel.

(ii) The hydrocarbon concentrations shall be measured at a minimum of 10 separate flow rates for an SSV flow meter, or at all possible flow combinations for a CFV flow meter, while keeping the flow of propane constant.

(iii) The concentration of hydrocarbon background in the dilution air shall be measured at the beginning and end of this test. The average background concentration from each measurement at each flow point must be subtracted before performing the regression analysis in paragraph (iv).

(iv) A power regression has to be performed using all the paired values of flow rate and corrected concentration to obtain a relationship in the form of y = a × x

, using the concentration as the independent variable and the flow rate as the dependent variable. For each data point, the calculation of the difference between the measured flow rate and the value represented by the curve fit is required. The difference at each point must be less than ± 1 % of the appropriate regression value. The value of b must be between – 1,005 and – 0,995. If the results do not meet these limits, corrective actions consistent with point 8.1.8.5.1(a) must be taken.

8.1.8.4.2. PDP calibration

A positive-displacement pump (PDP) shall be calibrated to determine a flow-versus-PDP speed equation that accounts for flow leakage across sealing surfaces in the PDP as a function of PDP inlet pressure. Unique equation coefficients shall be determined for each speed at which the PDP is operated. A PDP flow meter shall be calibrated as follows:

(a) The system shall be connected as shown in Figure 6.5;

(b) Leaks between the calibration flow meter and the PDP shall be less than 0,3 % of the total flow at the lowest calibrated flow point; for example, at the highest pressure restriction and lowest PDP-speed point;

(c) While the PDP operates, a constant temperature at the PDP inlet shall be maintained within ± 2 % of the mean absolute inlet temperature,

(m) The PDP may not be used below the lowest inlet pressure tested during calibration.

8.1.8.4.3. CFV calibration

A critical-flow venturi (CFV) shall be calibrated to verify its discharge coefficient,

, at the lowest expected static differential pressure between the CFV inlet and outlet. A CFV flow meter shall be calibrated as follows:

(a) The system shall be connected as shown in Figure 6.5;

(b) The blower shall be started downstream of the CFV;

(c) While the CFV operates, a constant temperature at the CFV inlet shall be maintained within ± 2 % of the mean absolute inlet temperature,

;

(d) Leaks between the calibration flow meter and the CFV shall be less than 0,3 % of the total flow at the highest pressure restriction;

(e) The variable restrictor shall be set to its wide-open position. In lieu of a variable restrictor the pressure downstream of the CFV may be varied by varying blower speed or by introducing a controlled leak. Note that some blowers have limitations on non-loaded conditions;

(f) The CFV shall be operated for at least 3 minutes to stabilize the system. The CFV shall continue operating and the mean values of at least 30 s of sampled data of each of the following quantities shall be recorded:

(i) The mean flow rate of the reference flow meter,

CFV

expected during testing is tested. It is not required to remove calibration components or CVS components to calibrate at the lowest possible pressure restrictions;

(i) Cd and the highest allowable pressure ratio

shall be determined as described in Annex VII;

(j) Cd shall be used to determine CFV flow during an emission test. The CFV shall not be used above the highest allowed

, as determined in Annex VII;

(k) The calibration shall be verified by performing a CVS verification (

i.e.

, propane check) as described in point 8.1.z8.5;

(l) If the CVS is configured to operate more than one CFV at a time in parallel, the CVS shall be calibrated by one of the following:

(ii) Each CFV shall be calibrated according to this point and Annex VII. See Annex VII for instructions on calculating flow rates for this option.

8.1.8.4.4. SSV calibration

A subsonic venturi (SSV) shall be calibrated to determine its calibration coefficient,

, for the expected range of inlet pressures. An SSV flow meter shall be calibrated as follows:

(a) The system shall be connected as shown in Figure 6.5;

(b) The blower shall be started downstream of the SSV;

(c) Leaks between the calibration flow meter and the SSV shall be less than 0,3 % of the total flow at the highest pressure restriction;

;

(e) The variable restrictor or variable-speed blower shall be set to a flow rate greater than the greatest flow rate expected during testing. Flow rates may not be extrapolated beyond calibrated values, so it is recommended that it is made certain that a Reynolds number,

, at the SSV throat at the greatest calibrated flow rate is greater than the maximum

expected during testing;

(f) The SSV shall be operated for at least 3 min to stabilize the system. The SSV shall continue operating and the mean of at least 30 s of sampled data of each of the following quantities shall be recorded:

8.1.8.5. CVS and batch sampler verification (propane check)

8.1.8.5.1. Introduction

(a) A propane check serves as a CVS verification to determine if there is a discrepancy in measured values of diluted exhaust gas flow. A propane check also serves as a batch-sampler verification to determine if there is a discrepancy in a batch sampling system that extracts a sample from a CVS, as described in paragraph (f) of this point. Using good engineering judgment and safe practices, this check may be performed using a gas other than propane, such as CO

or CO. A failed propane check might indicate one or more problems that may require corrective action, as follows:

(i) Incorrect analyzer calibration. The FID analyzer shall be re-calibrated, repaired, or replaced;

(ii) Leak checks shall be performed on CVS tunnel, connections, fasteners, and HC sampling system according to point 8.1.8.7;

(iii) The verification for poor mixing shall be performed in accordance with point 9.2.2;

(iv) The hydrocarbon contamination verification in the sample system shall be performed as described in point 7.3.1.2;

(v) Change in CVS calibration. An in-situ calibration of the CVS flow meter shall be performed as described in point 8.1.8.4;

(vi) Other problems with the CVS or sampling verification hardware or software. The CVS system, CVS verification hardware, and software shall be inspected for discrepancies;

(b) A propane check uses either a reference mass or a reference flow rate of C

as a tracer gas in a CVS. If a reference flow rate is used, any non-ideal gas behaviour of C

in the reference flow meter shall be accounted for. See section 2 of Annex VII (mass based approach) or section 3 of Annex VII (molar based approach), which describe how to calibrate and use certain flow meters. No ideal gas assumption may be used in point 8.1.8.5 and Annex VII. The propane check compares the calculated mass of injected C

using HC measurements and CVS flow rate measurements with the reference value.

8.1.8.5.2. Method of introducing a known amount of propane into the CVS system

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 analyzed, and the mass calculated in accordance with Annex VII. Either of the following two techniques shall be used:

(a) Metering by means of a gravimetric technique shall be done as follows: A 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 emissions 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 analyzed with the usual equipment (sampling bag or integrating method), and the mass of the gas calculated;

(b) Metering with a critical flow orifice shall be done as follows: 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 emissions test for about 5 to 10 minutes. A gas sample shall be analyzed with the usual equipment (sampling bag or integrating method), and the mass of the gas calculated.

8.1.8.5.3. Preparation of the propane check

The propane check shall be prepared as follows:

(a) If a reference mass of C

is used instead of a reference flow rate, a cylinder charged with C

shall be obtained. The reference cylinder's mass of C

shall be determined within ± 0,5 % of the amount of C

that is expected to be used;

(b) Appropriate flow rates shall be selected for the CVS and C

;

injection port shall be selected in the CVS. The port location shall be selected to be as close as practical to the location where engine exhaust system is introduced into the CVS. The C

cylinder shall be connected to the injection system;

(d) The CVS shall be operated and stabilized;

(e) Any heat exchangers in the sampling system shall be pre-heated or pre-cooled;

(f) Heated and cooled components such as sample lines, filters, chillers, and pumps shall be allowed to stabilize at operating temperature;

(g) If applicable, a vacuum side leak verification of the HC sampling system shall be performed as described in point 8.1.8.7.

8.1.8.5.4. Preparation of the HC sampling system for the propane check

Vacuum side leak check verification of the HC sampling system may be performed according to paragraph (g) of this point. If this procedure is used, the HC contamination procedure in point 7.3.1.2 may be used. If the vacuum side leak check is not performed according to paragraph (g), then the HC sampling system shall be zeroed, spanned, and verified for contamination, as follows:

(a) The lowest HC analyzer range that can measure the C

concentration expected for the CVS and C

flow rates shall be selected;

(b) The HC analyzer shall be zeroed using zero air introduced at the analyzer port;

span gas introduced at the analyzer port;

(d) Zero air shall be overflowed at the HC probe or into a fitting between the HC probe and the transfer line;

(e) The stable HC concentration of the HC sampling system shall be measured as overflow zero air flows. For batch HC measurement, the batch container (such as a bag) shall be filled and the HC overflow concentration measured;

(f) If the overflow HC concentration exceeds 2 μmol/mol, the procedure may not be advanced until contamination is eliminated. The source of the contamination shall be determined and corrective action taken, such as cleaning the system or replacing contaminated portions;

(g) When the overflow HC concentration does not exceed 2 μmol/mol, this value shall be recorded as

HCinit

and it shall be used to correct for HC contamination as described in section 2 of Annex VII (mass based approach) or section 3 of Annex VII (molar based approach).

8.1.8.5.5. Propane check performance

(a) The propane check shall be performed as follows:

(i) For batch HC sampling, clean storage media, such as evacuated bags shall be connected;

(ii) HC measurement instruments shall be operated according to the instrument manufacturer's instructions;

(iii) If correction for dilution air background concentrations of HC is foreseen, background HC in the dilution air shall be measured and recorded;

(iv) Any integrating devices shall be zeroed;

(v) Sampling shall begin and any flow integrators shall be started;

(vi) C

shall be released at the rate selected. If a reference flow rate of C

is used, the integration of this flow rate shall be started;

(vii) C

shall be continued to be released until at least enough C

has been released to ensure accurate quantification of the reference C

and the measured C

;

(viii)

The C

cylinder shall be shut off and sampling shall continue until it has been accounted for time delays due to sample transport and analyzer response;

(ix) Sampling shall be stopped and any integrators shall be stopped;

(b) In case the metering with a critical flow orifice is used, the following procedure may be used for the propane check as the alternative method of point 8.1.8.5.5(a);

(i) For batch HC sampling, clean storage media, such as evacuated bags shall be connected;

(ii) HC measurement instruments shall be operated according to the instrument manufacturer's instructions;

(iii) If correction for dilution air background concentrations of HC is foreseen, background HC in the dilution air shall be measured and recorded;

(iv) Any integrating devices shall be zeroed;

(v) The contents of the C

reference cylinder shall be released at the rate selected;

(vi) Sampling shall begin, and any flow integrators started after confirming that HC concentration is to be stable;

(vii) The cylinder's contents shall be continued to be released until at least enough C

has been released to ensure accurate quantification of the reference C

and the measured C

(viii)

Any integrators shall be stopped;

(ix) The C

reference cylinder shall be shut off.

8.1.8.5.6. Evaluation of the propane check

Post-test procedure shall be performed as follows:

(a) If batch sampling has been used, batch samples shall be analyzed as soon as practical;

(b) After analyzing HC, contamination and background shall be corrected for;

mass based on the CVS and HC data shall be calculated as described in Annex VII, using the molar mass of C

C3H8

, instead of the effective molar mass of HC,

;

(d) If a reference mass (gravimetric technique) is used, the cylinder's propane mass shall be determined within ± 0,5 % and the C

reference mass shall be determined by subtracting the empty cylinder propane mass from the full cylinder propane mass. If a critical flow orifice (metering with a critical flow orifice) is used, the propane mass shall be determined as flow rate multiplied by the test time;

(e) The reference C

mass shall be subtracted from the calculated mass. If this difference is within ± 3,0 % of the reference mass, the CVS passes this verification.

8.1.8.5.7. PM secondary dilution system verification

When the propane check is to be repeated to verify the PM secondary dilution system, the following procedure from (a) to (d) shall be used for this verification:

(a) The HC sampling system shall be configured to extract a sample near the location of the batch sampler's storage media (such as a PM filter). If the absolute pressure at this location is too low to extract an HC sample, HC may be sampled from the batch sampler pump's exhaust. Caution shall be used when sampling from pump's exhaust because an otherwise acceptable pump leak downstream of a batch sampler flow meter will cause a false failure of the propane check;

(b) The propane check shall be repeated as described in this point, but HC shall be sampled from the batch sampler;

mass shall be calculated, taking into account any secondary dilution from the batch sampler;

(d) The reference C

mass shall be subtracted from the calculated mass. If this difference is within ± 5 % of the reference mass, the batch sampler passes this verification. If not, corrective action shall be taken.

8.1.8.5.8. Sample dryer verification

If a humidity sensor for continuous monitoring of dew point at the sample dryer outlet is used this check does not apply, as long as it is ensured that the dryer outlet humidity is below the minimum values used for quench, interference, and compensation checks.

(a) If a sample dryer is used as allowed in point 9.3.2.3.1 to remove water from the sample gas, the performance shall be verified upon installation, after major maintenance, for thermal chillers. For osmotic membrane dryers, the performance shall be verified upon installation, after major maintenance, and within 35 days of testing;

(b) Water can inhibit an analyzer's ability to properly measure the exhaust component of interest and thus is sometimes removed before the sample gas reaches the analyzer. For example water can negatively interfere with a CLD's NO

response through collisional quenching and can positively interfere with an NDIR analyzer by causing a response similar to CO;

dew

, and absolute pressure,

total

, downstream of the osmotic-membrane dryer or thermal chiller;

(d) The following sample dryer verification procedure method shall be used to determine sample dryer performance, or good engineering judgment shall be used to develop a different protocol:

(i) polytetrafluoroethylene (‘PTFE’) or stainless steel tubing shall be used to make necessary connections;

(ii) N

or purified air shall be humidified by bubbling it through distilled water in a sealed vessel that humidifies the gas to the highest sample dew point that is estimated during emission sampling;

(iii) The humidified gas shall be introduced upstream of the sample dryer;

(iv) The humidified gas temperature downstream of the vessel shall be maintained at least 5 °C above its dew point;

(v) The humidified gas dew point,

dew

, and pressure,

total

, shall be measured as close as possible to the inlet of the sample dryer to verify that the dew point is the highest that was estimated during emission sampling;

(vi) The humidified gas dew point,

dew

, and pressure,

total

, shall be measured as close as possible to the outlet of the sample dryer;

(vii) The sample dryer meets the verification if the result of point (d)(vi) of this section is less than the dew point corresponding to the sample dryer specifications as determined in point 9.3.2.3.1 plus 2 °C or if the mol fraction from (d)(vi) is less than the corresponding sample dryer specifications plus 0,002 mol/mol or 0,2 volume %. Note for this verification, sample dew point is expressed in absolute temperature, Kelvin.

8.1.8.6. Periodic calibration of the partial flow PM and associated raw exhaust gas measurement systems

8.1.8.6.1. Specifications for differential flow measurement

For partial flow dilution systems to extract a proportional raw exhaust gas sample, the accuracy of the sample flow

is of special concern, if not measured directly, but determined by differential flow measurement as set out in equation (6-20):

qm p = qm dew – qm dw

(6-20)

Where:

is the sample mass flow rate of exhaust gas into partial flow dilution system

is the dilution air mass flow rate (on wet basis)

dew

is the diluted exhaust gas mass flow rate on wet basis

In this case, the maximum error of the difference shall be such that the accuracy of

is within ± 5 % 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

can be obtained by either of the following methods:

(a) The absolute accuracies of

dew

and

are ± 0,2 % which guarantees an accuracy of

of ≤ 5 % at a dilution ratio of 15. However, greater errors will occur at higher dilution ratios;

(b) Calibration of

relative to

dew

is carried out such that the same accuracies for

as in (a) are obtained. For details see point 8.1.8.6.2;

is determined indirectly from the accuracy of the dilution ratio as determined by a tracer gas, e.g. CO

. Accuracies equivalent to method (a) for

are required;

(d) The absolute accuracy of

dew

and

is within ± 2 % of full scale, the maximum error of the difference between

dew

and

is within 0,2 % and the linearity error is within ± 0,2 % of the highest

dew

observed during the test.

8.1.8.6.2. Calibration of differential flow measurement

The partial flow dilution system to extract a proportional raw exhaust gas sample shall be periodically calibrated with an accurate flow meter traceable to international and/or national standards. The flow meter or the flow measurement instrumentation shall be calibrated in one of the following procedures, such that the probe flow

into the tunnel shall fulfil the accuracy requirements of point 8.1.8.6.1.

(a) The flow meter for

shall be connected in series to the flow meter for

dew

, the difference between the two flow meters shall be calibrated for at least 5 set points with flow values equally spaced between the lowest

value used during the test and the value of

dew

used during the test. The dilution tunnel may be bypassed;

(b) A calibrated flow device shall be connected in series to the flowmeter for

dew

and the accuracy shall be checked for the value used for the test. The calibrated flow device shall be connected in series to the flow meter for

, and the accuracy shall be checked for at least 5 settings corresponding to dilution ratio between 3 and 15, relative to

dew

used during the test;

(c) The transfer line TL (see Figure 6.7) shall be disconnected from the exhaust system and a calibrated flow measuring device with a suitable range to measure

shall be connected to the transfer line.

dew

shall be set to the value used during the test, and

shall be sequentially set to at least 5 values corresponding to dilution ratios between 3 and 15. Alternatively, a special calibration flow path may be provided, in which the tunnel is bypassed, but the total and dilution air flow is passed through the corresponding meters as in the actual test;

(d) A tracer gas, shall be fed into the exhaust system transfer line TL. This tracer gas may be a component of the exhaust gas, like CO

or NO

. After dilution in the tunnel the tracer gas component shall be measured. This shall be carried out for 5 dilution ratios between 3 and 15. The accuracy of the sample flow shall be determined from the dilution ratio

by means of equation (6-21):

qm p = qm dew / r d

(6-21)

The accuracies of the gas analyzers shall be taken into account to guarantee the accuracy of

8.1.8.6.3. Special requirements for differential flow measurement

A carbon flow check using actual exhaust gas 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 % or more of CO

. The partial flow sampling system shall be operated with a dilution factor of about 15 to 1.

If a carbon flow check is conducted, Appendix 2 of Annex VII shall be applied. The carbon flow rates shall be calculated according to equations of Appendix 2 of Annex VII. All carbon flow rates shall agree to within 5 %.

8.1.8.6.3.1. 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 flow meters shall be checked by the same method as used for calibration (see point 8.1.8.6.2) for at least two points, including flow values of

that correspond to dilution ratios between 5 and 15 for the

dew

value used during the test.

If it can be demonstrated by records of the calibration procedure under point 8.1.8.6.2 that the flow meter calibration is stable over a longer period of time, the pre-test check may be omitted.

8.1.8.6.3.2. Determination of the transformation time

The system settings for the transformation time evaluation shall be the same as during measurement of the test run. The transformation time, as defined in point 2.4 of Appendix 5 to this Annex and in figure 6-11, 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 pressure restriction sufficiently low as to not affect the dynamic performance of the partial flow dilution system according to good engineering judgment. A step change shall be introduced to the exhaust gas flow (or air flow if exhaust gas flow is calculated) input of the partial flow dilution system, from a low flow to at least 90 % of full scale. The trigger for the step change shall be the same one used to start the look-ahead control in actual testing. The exhaust gas 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 % point of the flowmeter response. In a similar manner, the transformation times of the q

signal (i.e. sample flow of exhaust gas into partial flow dilution system) and of the q

mew,i

signal (i.e. the exhaust gas mass flow rate on wet basis supplied by the exhaust flow meter) shall be determined. These signals are used in the regression checks performed after each test (see point 8.2.1.2).

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. Where look-ahead control is required, the look-ahead value of the partial flow dilution system shall be applied in accordance with point 8.2.1.2.

8.1.8.7. Vacuum-side leak verification

8.1.8.7.1. Scope and frequency

Upon initial sampling system installation, after major maintenance such as pre-filter changes, and within 8 hours prior to each duty-cycle sequence, it shall be verified that there are no significant vacuum-side leaks using one of the leak tests described in this section. This verification does not apply to any full-flow portion of a CVS dilution system.

8.1.8.7.2. Measurement principles

A leak may be detected either by measuring a small amount of flow when there shall be zero flow, by detecting the dilution of a known concentration of span gas when it flows through the vacuum side of a sampling system or by measuring the pressure increase of an evacuated system.

8.1.8.7.3. Low-flow leak test

A sampling system shall be tested for low-flow leaks as follows:

(a) The probe end of the system shall be sealed by taking one of the following steps:

(i) The end of the sample probe shall be capped or plugged;

(ii) The transfer line shall be disconnected at the probe and the transfer line capped or plugged;

(iii) A leak-tight valve in-line between a probe and transfer line shall be closed;

(b) All vacuum pumps shall be operated. After stabilizing, it shall be verified that the flow through the vacuum-side of the sampling system is less than 0,5 % of the system's normal in-use flow rate. Typical analyzer and bypass flows may be estimated as an approximation of the system's normal in-use flow rate.

8.1.8.7.4. Dilution-of-span-gas leak test

Any gas analyzer may be used for this test. If a FID is used for this test, any HC contamination in the sampling system shall be corrected in accordance with sections 2 or 3 of Annex VII on HC determination. Misleading results shall be avoided by using only analyzers that have a repeatability of 0,5 % or better at the span gas concentration used for this test. The vacuum side leak check shall be performed as follows:

(a) A gas analyzer shall be prepared as it would be for emission testing;

(b) Span gas shall be supplied to the analyzer port and it shall be verified that the span gas concentration is measured within its expected measurement accuracy and repeatability;

(i) The end of the sample probe;

(ii) The transfer line shall be disconnected at the probe connection, and the span gas overflown at the open end of the transfer line;

(iii) A three-way valve installed in-line between a probe and its transfer line;

(d) It shall be verified that the measured overflow span gas concentration is within ± 0,5 % of the span gas concentration. A measured value lower than expected indicates a leak, but a value higher than expected may indicate a problem with the span gas or the analyzer itself. A measured value higher than expected does not indicate a leak.

8.1.8.7.5. Vacuum-decay leak test

To perform this test a vacuum shall be applied to the vacuum-side volume of the sampling system and the leak rate of the system shall be observed as a decay in the applied vacuum. To perform this test the vacuum-side volume of the sampling system shall be known to within ± 10 % of its true volume. For this test measurement instruments that meet the specifications of points 8.1 and 9.4 shall also be used.

A vacuum-decay leak test shall be performed as follows:

(a) The probe end of the system shall be sealed as close to the probe opening as possible by taking one of the following steps:

(i) The end of the sample probe shall be capped or plugged;

(ii) The transfer line at the probe shall be disconnected and the transfer line capped or plugged;

(iii) A leak-tight valve in-line between a probe and transfer line shall be closed;

(b) All vacuum pumps shall be operated. A vacuum shall be drawn that is representative of normal operating conditions. In the case of sample bags, it is recommend that the normal sample bag pump-down procedure be repeated twice to minimize any trapped volumes;

(c) The sample pumps shall be turned off and the system sealed. The absolute pressure of the trapped gas and optionally the system absolute temperature shall be measured and recorded. Sufficient time shall be allowed for any transients to settle and long enough for a leak at 0,5 % to have caused a pressure change of at least 10 times the resolution of the pressure transducer. The pressure and optionally temperature shall be recorded once again;

(d) The leak flow rate based on an assumed value of zero for pumped-down bag volumes and based on known values for the sample system volume, the initial and final pressures, optional temperatures, and elapsed time shall be calculated. It shall be verified that the vacuum-decay leak flow rate is less than 0,5 % of the system's normal in-use flow rate by means of equation (6-22):

8.1.9.2.2. Measurement principles

O and CO

can positively interfere with an NDIR analyzer by causing a response similar to CO. If the NDIR analyzer uses compensation algorithms that utilize measurements of other gases to meet this interference verification, simultaneously these other measurements shall be conducted to test the compensation algorithms during the analyzer interference verification.

8.1.10. Hydrocarbon measurements

8.1.10.1. FID optimization and verification

8.1.10.1.1. Scope and frequency

For all FID analyzers, the FID shall be calibrated upon initial installation. The calibration shall be repeated as needed using good engineering judgment. The following steps shall be performed for a FID that measures HC:

8.1.10.1.3. HC FID response optimization

This procedure is only for FID analyzers that measure HC.

(a) Instrument manufacturer requirements and good engineering judgment shall be used for initial instrument start-up and basic operating adjustment using FID fuel and zero air. Heated FIDs shall be within their required operating temperature ranges. FID response shall be optimized to meet the requirement of the hydrocarbon response factors and the oxygen interference check according to points 8.1.10.1.1(a) and 8.1.10.2 at the most common analyzer range expected during emission testing. Higher analyzer range may be used according to the instrument manufacturer's recommendation and good engineering judgment in order to optimize FID accurately, if the common analyzer range is lower than the minimum range for the optimization specified by the instrument manufacturer;

With the fuel and airflow rates set at the manufacturer's recommendations, a span gas shall be introduced to the analyzer;

(d) The optimum flow rates and/or pressures for FID fuel and burner air shall be determined, and they shall be sampled and recorded for future reference.

8.1.10.1.4. HC FID CH

response factor determination

Since FID analyzers generally have a different response to CH

versus C

, each HC FID analyzer's CH

response factor,

CH4[THC-FID]

shall be determined, after FID optimization. The most recent

CH4[THC-FID]

measured in accordance with this section shall be used in the calculations for HC determination described in section 2 of Annex VII (mass based approach) or section 3 of Annex VII (molar based approach) to compensate for CH

response.

CH4[THC-FID]

shall be determined as follows:

(a) A C

span gas concentration shall be selected to span the analyzer before emission testing. Only span gases that meet the specifications of point 9.5.1 shall be selected and the C

concentration of the gas shall be recorded;

(b) A CH

span gas that meets the specifications of point 9.5.1 shall be selected and the CH

concentration of the gas shall be recorded,

(d) It shall be confirmed that the FID analyzer has been calibrated using C

. Calibration shall be performed on a carbon number basis of one (C

);

(e) The FID shall be zeroed with a zero gas used for emission testing;

(f) The FID shall be spanned with the selected C

span gas;

(g) The CH

span gas selected in accordance with paragraph (b) shall be introduced at the sample port of the FID analyzer;

(h) The analyzer response shall be stabilized. Stabilization time may include time to purge the analyzer and to account for its response;

(i) While the analyzer measures the CH

concentration, 30 s of sampled data shall be recorded and the arithmetic mean of these values shall be calculated;

(j) The mean measured concentration shall be divided by the recorded span concentration of the CH

calibration gas. The result is the FID analyzer's response factor for CH

CH4[THC-FID]

8.1.10.1.5. HC FID methane (CH

) response verification

If the value of

CH4[THC-FID]

obtained in accordance with point 8.1.10.1.4 is within ± 5,0 % of its most recent previously determined value, the HC FID passes the methane response verification.

(a) It shall be first verified that the pressures and / or flow rates of FID fuel, burner air, and sample are each within ± 0,5 % of their most recent previously recorded values, as described in point 8.1.10.1.3. If these flow rates have to be adjusted, a new

CH4[THC-FID]

shall be determined as described in point 8.1.10.1.4. It should be verified that the value of

CH4[THC-FID]

determined is within the tolerance specified in this point 8.1.10.1.5;

CH4[THC-FID]

is not within the tolerance specified in this point 8.1.10.1.5, the FID response shall be re-optimized as described in point 8.1.10.1.3;

CH4[THC-FID]

shall be determined as described in point 8.1.10.1.4. This new value of

8.1.10.2.2. Measurement principles

Changes in O

concentration in raw exhaust gas can affect FID response by changing FID flame temperature. FID fuel, burner air, and sample flow shall be optimized to meet this verification. FID performance shall be verified with the compensation algorithms for FID O

interference that is active during an emission test.

8.1.10.2.3. System requirements

Any FID analyzer used during testing shall meet the FID O

interference verification according to the procedure in this section.

8.1.10.2.4. Procedure

FID O

interference shall be determined as follows, noting that one or more gas dividers may be used to create reference gas concentrations that are required to perform this verification:

(a) Three span reference gases that meet the specifications set out in point 9.5.1 and contain C

concentration shall be selected to span the analyzers before emissions testing. CH

span reference gases shall be selected for FIDs calibrated on CH

with a non-methane cutter. The three balance gas concentrations shall be selected such that the concentrations of O

and N

represent the minimum and maximum and intermediate O

concentrations expected during testing. The requirement for using the average O

(d) The analyzer shall be set at zero;

(e) The analyzer shall be spanned using a span gas that is used during emissions testing;

(f) The zero response shall be checked by using the zero gas used during emission testing. It shall be proceeded to the next step if the mean zero response of 30 s of sampled data is within ± 0,5 % of the span reference value used in paragraph (e) of this point, otherwise the procedure shall be restarted at paragraph (d) of this point;

(g) The analyzer response shall be checked using the span gas that has the minimum concentration of O

expected during testing. The mean response of 30 s of stabilized sample data shall be recorded as

O2minHC

;

(h) The zero response of the FID analyzer shall be checked using the zero gas used during emission testing. The next step shall be performed if the mean zero response of 30 s of stabilized sample data is within ± 0,5 % of the span reference value used in paragraph (e) of this point, otherwise the procedure shall be restarted at paragraph (d) of this point;

(i) The analyzer response shall be checked using the span gas that has the average concentration of O

expected during testing. The mean response of 30 s of stabilized sample data shall be recorded as

O2avgHC

;

(j) The zero response of the FID analyzer shall be checked using the zero gas used during emission testing. The next step shall be performed if the mean zero response of 30 s of stabilized sample data is within ± 0,5 % of the span reference value used in paragraph (e) of this point, otherwise the procedure shall be restarted at paragraph (d) of this point;

(k) The analyzer response shall be checked using the span gas that has the maximum concentration of O

expected during testing. The mean response of 30 s of stabilized sample data shall be recorded as

O2maxHC

;

(l) The zero response of the FID analyzer shall be checked using the zero gas used during emission testing. The next step shall be performed if the mean zero response of 30 s of stabilized sample data is within ± 0,5 % of the span reference value used in paragraph (e) of this point, otherwise the procedure shall be restarted at paragraph (d) of this point;

(m) The % difference between

O2maxHC

and its reference gas concentration shall be calculated. The percent difference between

O2avgHC

and its reference gas concentration shall be calculated. The % difference between

O2minHC

and its reference gas concentration shall be calculated. The maximum % difference of the three shall be determined. This is the O

interference;

(n) If the O

interference is within ± 3 %, the FID passes the O

interference verification; otherwise one or more of the following need to be performed to address the deficiency:

(i) The verification shall be repeated to determine if a mistake was made during the procedure;

(ii) The zero and span gases for emission testing shall be selected that contain higher or lower O

concentrations and the verification shall be repeated;

(iii) The FID burner air, fuel, and sample flow rates shall be adjusted. Note that if these flow rates are adjusted on a THC FID to meet the O

interference verification, the

CH4

shall be reset for the next

CH4

verification. The O

interference verification shall be repeated after adjustment and

CH4

shall be determined;

(iv) The FID shall be repaired or replaced and the O

interference verification shall be repeated.

8.1.11. NO

measurements

8.1.11.1. CLD CO

and H

O quench verification

8.1.11.1.1. Scope and frequency

If a CLD analyzer is used to measure NO

, the amount of H

O and CO

quench shall be verified after installing the CLD analyzer and after major maintenance.

8.1.11.1.2. Measurement principles

O and CO

can negatively interfere with a CLD's NO

response by collisional quenching, which inhibits the chemiluminescent reaction that a CLD utilizes to detect NO

. This procedure and the calculations in point 8.1.11.2.3 determine quench and scale the quench results to the maximum mole fraction of H

O and the maximum CO

concentration expected during emission testing. If the CLD analyzer uses quench compensation algorithms that utilize H

O and/or CO

measurement instruments, quench shall be evaluated with these instruments active and with the compensation algorithms applied.

8.1.11.1.3. System requirements

For dilute measurement a CLD analyzer shall not exceed a combined H

O and CO

quench of ± 2 %. For raw measurement a CLD analyzer shall not exceed a combined H

O and CO

quench of ± 2,5 %. Combined quench is the sum of the CO

quench determined as described in point 8.1.11.1.4 and the H

O quench as determined in point 8.1.11.1.5. If these requirements are not met, corrective action shall be taken by repairing or replacing the analyzer. Before running emission tests, it shall be verified that the corrective action have successfully restored the analyzer to proper functioning.

8.1.11.1.4. CO

quench verification procedure

The following method or the method prescribed by the instrument manufacturer may be used to determine CO

quench by using a gas divider that blends binary span gases with zero gas as the diluent and meets the specifications in point 9.4.5.6, or good engineering judgment shall be used to develop a different protocol:

(a) PTFE or stainless steel tubing shall be used to make necessary connections;

(b) The gas divider shall be configured such that nearly equal amounts of the span and diluent gases are blended with each other;

, the CLD analyzer shall be operated in the NO-only operating mode;

(d) A CO

span gas that meets the specifications of point 9.5.1 and a concentration that is approximately twice the maximum CO

concentration expected during emission testing shall be used;

(e) An NO span gas that meets the specifications of point 9.5.1 and a concentration that is approximately twice the maximum NO concentration expected during emission testing shall be used. Higher concentration may be used according to the instrument manufacturer's recommendation and good engineering judgement in order to obtain accurate verification, if the expected NO concentration is lower than the minimum range for the verification specified by the instrument manufacturer;

(f) The CLD analyzer shall be zeroed and spanned. The CLD analyzer shall be spanned with the NO span gas from paragraph (e) of this point through the gas divider. The NO span gas shall be connected to the span port of the gas divider; a zero gas shall be connected to the diluent port of the gas divider; the same nominal blend ratio shall be used as selected in paragraph (b) of this point; and the gas divider's output concentration of NO shall be used to span the CLD analyzer. Gas property corrections shall be applied as necessary to ensure accurate gas division;

(g) The CO

span gas shall be connected to the span port of the gas divider;

(h) The NO span gas shall be connected to the diluents port of the gas divider;

(i) While flowing NO and CO

through the gas divider, the output of the gas divider shall be stabilized. The CO

concentration from the gas divider output shall be determined, applying gas property correction as necessary to ensure accurate gas division. This concentration,

CO2act

, shall be recorded and it shall be used in the quench verification calculations in point 8.1.11.2.3. As an alternative to using a gas divider, another simple gas blending device may be used. In this case an analyzer shall be used to determine CO

concentration. If a NDIR is used together with a simple gas blending device, it shall meet the requirements of this section and it shall be spanned with the CO

span gas from paragraph (d) of this point. The linearity of the NDIR analyzer has to be checked before over the whole range up to twice of the expected maximum CO

concentration expected during testing;

(j) The NO concentration shall be measured downstream of the gas divider with the CLD analyzer. Time shall be allowed for the analyzer response to stabilize. Stabilization time may include time to purge the transfer line and to account for analyzer response. While the analyzer measures the sample's concentration, the analyzer's output shall be recorded for 30 seconds. The arithmetic mean concentration shall be calculated from these data,

NOmeas

shall be recorded and it shall be used in the quench verification calculations in point 8.1.11.2.3;

(k) The actual NO concentration shall be calculated at the gas divider's outlet,

NOact

, based on the span gas concentrations and

CO2act

by means of equation (6-24). The calculated value shall be used in the quench verification calculations by means of equation (6-23);

(l) The values recorded according to this points 8.1.11.1.4 and 8.1.11.1.5 shall be used to calculate quench as described in point 8.1.11.2.3.

8.1.11.1.5. H

O quench verification procedure

The following method or the method prescribed by the instrument manufacturer may be used to determine H

O quench, or good engineering judgment shall be used to develop a different protocol:

(a) PTFE or stainless steel tubing shall be used to make necessary connections;

(b) If the CLD analyzer has an operating mode in which it detects NO-only, as opposed to total NO

, the CLD analyzer shall be operated in the NO-only operating mode;

(c) A NO span gas shall be used that meets the specifications of point 9.5.1 and a concentration that is near the maximum concentration expected during emission testing. Higher concentration may be used according to the instrument manufacturer's recommendation and good engineering judgement in order to obtain accurate verification, if the expected NO concentration is lower than the minimum range for the verification specified by the instrument manufacturer;

(d) The CLD analyzer shall be zeroed and spanned. The CLD analyzer shall be spanned with the NO span gas from paragraph (c) of this point, the span gas concentration shall be recorded as

NOdry

, and it shall be used in the quench verification calculations in point 8.1.11.2.3;

(e) The NO span gas shall be humidified by bubbling it through distilled water in a sealed vessel. If the humidified NO span gas sample does not pass through a sample dryer for this verification test, the vessel temperature shall be controlled to generate an H

O level approximately equal to the maximum mole fraction of H

O expected during emission testing. If the humidified NO span gas sample does not pass through a sample dryer, the quench verification calculations in point 8.1.11.2.3 scale the measured H

O quench to the highest mole fraction of H

O expected during emission testing. If the humidified NO span gas sample passes through a dryer for this verification test, the vessel temperature shall be controlled to generate an H

O level at least as high as the level required in point 9.3.2.3.1. For this case, the quench verification calculations set out in point 8.1.11.2.3 do not scale the measured H

O quench;

(f) The humidified NO test gas shall be introduced into the sample system. It may be introduced upstream or downstream of a sample dryer that is used during emission testing. Depending on the point of introduction, the respective calculation method of paragraph (e) of this point shall be selected. Note that the sample dryer shall meet the sample dryer verification check in point 8.1.8.5.8;

(g) The mole fraction of H

O in the humidified NO span gas shall be measured. In case a sample dryer is used, the mole fraction of H

O in the humidified NO span gas shall be measured downstream of the sample dryer,

H2Omeas

. It is recommended to measure

H2Omeas

as close as possible to the CLD analyzer inlet.

H2Omeas

may be calculated from measurements of dew point,

dew

, and absolute pressure,

total

;

(h) Good engineering judgment shall be used to prevent condensation in the transfer lines, fittings, or valves from the point where

H2Omeas

is measured to the analyzer. It is recommended that the system is designed so the wall temperatures in the transfer lines, fittings, and valves from the point where

H2Omeas

is measured to the analyzer are at least 5 K above the local sample gas dew point;

(i) The humidified NO span gas concentration shall be measured with the CLD analyzer. Time shall be allowed for the analyzer response to stabilize. Stabilization time may include time to purge the transfer line and to account for analyzer response. While the analyzer measures the sample's concentration, the analyzer's output shall be recorded for 30 seconds. The arithmetic mean shall be calculated of these data,

NOwet

shall be recorded and used in the quench verification calculations in point 8.1.11.2.3.

8.1.11.2. CLD quench verification calculations

CLD quench-check calculations shall be performed as described in this point.

8.1.11.2.1. Amount of water expected during testing

The maximum expected mole fraction of water during emission testing,

H2Oexp

shall be estimated. This estimate shall be made where the humidified NO span gas was introduced in point 8.1.11.1.5(f). When estimating the maximum expected mole fraction of water, the maximum expected water content in combustion air, fuel combustion products, and dilution air (if applicable) shall be considered. If the humidified NO span gas is introduced into the sample system upstream of a sample dryer during the verification test, it is not needed to estimate the maximum expected mole fraction of water and

H2Oexp

shall be set equal to

H2Omeas

8.1.11.2.2. Amount of CO

The maximum expected CO

concentration during emission testing,

CO2exp

shall be estimated. This estimate shall be made at the sample system location where the blended NO and CO

span gases are introduced according to point 8.1.11.1.4(j). When estimating the maximum expected CO

concentration, the maximum expected CO

content in fuel combustion products and dilution air shall be considered.

8.1.11.3. NDUV analyzer HC and H

O interference verification

8.1.11.3.1. Scope and frequency

If NO

is measured using an NDUV analyzer, the amount of H

O and hydrocarbon interference shall be verified after initial analyzer installation and after major maintenance.

8.1.11.3.2. Measurement principles

Hydrocarbons and H

O can positively interfere with a NDUV analyzer by causing a response similar to NO

. If the NDUV analyzer uses compensation algorithms that utilize measurements of other gases to meet this interference verification, simultaneously such measurements shall be conducted to test the algorithms during the analyzer interference verification.

8.1.11.3.3. System requirements

A NO

NDUV analyzer shall have combined H

O and HC interference within ± 2 % of the mean concentration of NO

8.1.11.3.4. Procedure

The interference verification shall be performed as follows:

(a) The NO

NDUV analyzer shall be started, operated, zeroed, and spanned according to the instrument manufacturer's instructions;

(b) It is recommended to extract engine exhaust gas to perform this verification. A CLD shall be used that meets the specifications of point 9.4 to quantify NO

in the exhaust gas. The CLD response shall be used as the reference value. Also HC shall be measured in the exhaust gas with a FID analyzer that meets the specifications of point 9.4. The FID response shall be used as the reference hydrocarbon value;

(c) Upstream of any sample dryer, if one is used during testing, the engine exhaust gas shall be introduced into the NDUV analyzer;

(d) Time shall be allowed for the analyzer response to stabilize. Stabilization time may include time to purge the transfer line and to account for analyzer response;

(e) While all analyzers measure the sample's concentration, 30 s of sampled data shall be recorded, and the arithmetic means for the three analyzers calculated;

(f) The CLD mean shall be subtracted from the NDUV mean;

(g) This difference shall be multiplied by the ratio of the expected mean HC concentration to the HC concentration measured during the verification. The analyzer meets the interference verification of this point if this result is within ± 2 % of the NO

8.1.11.4 Sample dryer NO

penetration

8.1.11.4.1. Scope and frequency

If a sample dryer is used to dry a sample upstream of a NO

measurement instrument, but no NO

-to-NO converter is used upstream of the sample dryer, this verification shall be performed for sample dryer NO

penetration. This verification shall be performed after initial installation and after major maintenance.

8.1.11.4.2. Measurement principles

A sample dryer removes water, which can otherwise interfere with a NO

measurement. However, liquid water remaining in an improperly designed cooling bath can remove NO

from the sample. If a sample dryer is used without an NO

-to-NO converter upstream, it could therefore remove NO

from the sample prior NO

measurement.

8.1.11.4.3. System requirements

The sample dryer shall allow for measuring at least 95 % of the total NO

at the maximum expected concentration of NO

8.1.11.4.4. Procedure

The following procedure shall be used to verify sample dryer performance:

(a) Instrument setup. The analyzer and sample dryer manufacturers' start-up and operating instructions shall be followed. The analyzer and sample dryer shall be adjusted as needed to optimize performance;

(b) Equipment setup and data collection.

(i) The total NO

gas analyzer(s) shall be zeroed and spanned as it would be before emission testing;

(ii) NO

calibration gas (balance gas of dry air) that has an NO

concentration that is near the maximum expected during testing shall be selected. Higher concentration may be used in accordance with the instrument manufacturer's recommendation and good engineering judgement in order to obtain accurate verification, if the expected NO

concentration is lower than the minimum range for the verification specified by the instrument manufacturer;

(iii) This calibration gas shall be overflowed at the gas sampling system's probe or overflow fitting. Time shall be allowed for stabilization of the total NO

response, accounting only for transport delays and instrument response;

(iv) The mean of 30 s of recorded total NO

data shall be calculated and this value recorded as

NOxref

;

(v) The flowing the NO

calibration gas shall be stopped;

(vi) Next the sampling system shall be saturated by overflowing a dew point generator's output, set at a dew point of 323 K (50 °C), to the gas sampling system's probe or overflow fitting. The dew point generator's output shall be sampled through the sampling system and sample dryer for at least 10 minutes until the sample dryer is expected to be removing a constant rate of water;

(vii) It shall be immediately switched back to overflowing the NO

calibration gas used to establish

NOxref

. It shall be allowed for stabilization of the total NO

response, accounting only for transport delays and instrument response. The mean of 30 s of recorded total NO

data shall be calculated and this value recorded as

NOxmeas

;

(viii)

NOxmeas

shall be corrected to

NOxdry

based upon the residual water vapour that passed through the sample dryer at the sample dryer's outlet temperature and pressure;

8.1.11.5. NO

-to-NO converter conversion verification

8.1.11.5.1. Scope and frequency

If an analyzer is used that measures only NO to determine NO

, an NO

-to-NO converter shall be used upstream of the analyzer. This verification shall be performed after installing the converter, after major maintenance and within 35 days before an emission test. This verification shall be repeated at this frequency to verify that the catalytic activity of the NO

-to-NO converter has not deteriorated.

8.1.11.5.2. Measurement principles

An NO

-to-NO converter allows an analyzer that measures only NO to determine total NO

by converting the NO

in exhaust gas to NO.

8.1.11.5.3. System requirements

An NO

-to-NO converter shall allow for measuring at least 95 % of the total NO

at the maximum expected concentration of NO

8.1.11.5.4 Procedure

The following procedure shall be used to verify the performance of a NO

-to-NO converter:

(a) For the instrument setup the analyzer and NO

-to-NO converter manufacturers' start-up and operating instructions shall be followed. The analyzer and converter shall be adjusted as needed to optimize performance;

(b) An ozonator's inlet shall be connected to a zero-air or oxygen source and its outlet shall be connected to one port of a 3-way tee fitting. An NO span gas shall be connected to another port and the NO

-to-NO converter inlet shall be connected to the last port;

(i) The ozonator air shall be set off and the ozonator power shall be turned off and the NO

-to-NO converter shall be set to the bypass mode (i.e., NO mode). Stabilization shall be allowed for, accounting only for transport delays and instrument response;

(ii) The NO and zero-gas flows shall be adjusted so the NO concentration at the analyzer is near the peak total NO

concentration expected during testing. The NO

content of the gas mixture shall be less than 5 % of the NO concentration. The concentration of NO shall be recorded by calculating the mean of 30 s of sampled data from the analyzer and this value shall be recorded as

NOref

. Higher concentration may be used according to the instrument manufacturer's recommendation and good engineering judgement in order to obtain accurate verification, if the expected NO concentration is lower than the minimum range for the verification specified by the instrument manufacturer;

(iii) The ozonator O

supply shall be turned on and the O

flow rate adjusted so that the NO indicated by the analyzer is about 10 percent less than

NOref

. The concentration of NO shall be recorded by calculating the mean of 30 s of sampled data from the analyzer and this value recorded as

NO+O2mix

;

(iv) The ozonator shall be switched on and the ozone generation rate adjusted so that the NO measured by the analyzer is approximately 20 percent of

NOref

, while maintaining at least 10 % unreacted NO. The concentration of NO shall be recorded by calculating the mean of 30 s of sampled data from the analyzer and this value shall be recorded as

NOmeas

;

(v) The NO

analyzer shall be switched to NO

mode and total NO

measured. The concentration of NO

shall be recorded by calculating the mean of 30 s of sampled data from the analyzer and this value shall be recorded as

NOxmeas

;

(vi) The ozonator shall be switched off but gas flow through the system shall be maintained. The NO

analyzer will indicate the NO

in the NO + O

mixture. The concentration of NO

shall be recorded by calculating the mean of 30 s of sampled data from the analyzer and this value shall be recorded as

NOx+O2mix

;

(vii) O

supply shall be turned off. The NO

analyzer will indicate the NO

in the original NO-in-N

mixture. The concentration of NO

shall be recorded by calculating the mean of 30 s of sampled data from the analyzer and this value shall be recorded as

NOxref

. This value shall be no more than 5 % above the

NOref

value;

(d) Performance evaluation. The efficiency of the NO

converter shall be calculated by substituting the concentrations obtained into equation (6-26):

(6-26)

(e) If the result is less than 95 %, the NO

-to-NO converter shall be repaired or replaced.

8.1.12. PM measurements

8.1.12.1. PM balance verifications and weighing process verification

8.1.12.1.1. Scope and frequency

This section describes three verifications.

(a) Independent verification of PM balance performance within 370 days prior to weighing any filter;

(b) Zero and span of the balance within 12 h prior to weighing any filter;

(c) Verification that the mass determination of reference filters before and after a filter weighing session be less than a specified tolerance.

8.1.12.1.2. Independent verification

The balance manufacturer (or a representative approved by the balance manufacturer) shall verify the balance performance within 370 days of testing in accordance with internal audit procedures.

8.1.12.1.3. Zeroing and spanning

Balance performance shall be verified by zeroing and spanning it with at least one calibration weight, and any weights that are used shall meet the specifications in point 9.5.2 to perform this verification. A manual or automated procedure shall be used:

(a) A manual procedure requires that the balance shall be used in which the balance shall be zeroed and spanned with at least one calibration weight. If normally mean values are obtained by repeating the weighing process to improve the accuracy and precision of PM measurements, the same process shall be used to verify balance performance;

(b) An automated procedure is carried out with internal calibration weights that are used automatically to verify balance performance. These internal calibration weights shall meet the specifications in point 9.5.2 to perform this verification.

8.1.12.1.4. Reference sample weighing

All mass readings during a weighing session shall be verified by weighing reference PM sample media (e.g. filters) before and after a weighing session. A weighing session may be as short as desired, but no longer than 80 hours, and may include both pre- and post-test mass readings. Successive mass determinations of each reference PM sample media shall return the same value within ± 10 μg or ± 10 % of the expected total PM mass, whichever is higher. Should successive PM sample filter weighing events fail this criterion, all individual test filter mass readings mass readings occurring between the successive reference filter mass determinations shall be invalidated. These filters may be re-weighed in another weighing session. Should a post-test filter be invalidated then the test interval is void. This verification shall be performed as follows:

(a) At least two samples of unused PM sample media shall be kept in the PM-stabilization environment. These shall be used as references. Unused filters of the same material and size shall be selected for use as references;

(b) References shall be stabilized in the PM stabilization environment. References shall be considered stabilized if they have been in the PM-stabilization environment for a minimum of 30 min, and the PM-stabilization environment has been within the specifications of point 9.3.4.4 for at least the preceding 60 min;

(d) The balance shall be zeroed and spanned. A test mass shall be placed on the balance (e.g. calibration weight) and then removed ensuring that the balance returns to an acceptable zero reading within the normal stabilization time;

(e) Each of the reference media (e.g. filters) shall be weighed and their masses recorded. If normally mean values are obtained by repeating the weighing process to improve the accuracy and precision of reference media (e.g. filters) masses, the same process shall be used to measure mean values of sample media (e.g. filters) masses;

(f) The balance environment dew point, ambient temperature, and atmospheric pressure shall be recorded;

(g) The recorded ambient conditions shall be used to correct results for buoyancy as described in point 8.1.13.2. The buoyancy-corrected mass of each of the references shall be recorded;

(h) Each of the reference media's (e.g. filter's) buoyancy-corrected reference mass shall be subtracted from its previously measured and recorded buoyancy-corrected mass;

(i) If any of the reference filters' observed mass changes by more than that allowed under this section, all PM mass determinations made since the last successful reference media (e.g. filter) mass validation shall be invalidated. Reference PM filters may be discarded if only one of the filters mass has changed by more than the allowable amount and a special cause for that filter's mass change can be positively identified which would not have affected other in-process filters. Thus the validation can be considered a success. In this case, the contaminated reference media shall not be included when determining compliance with paragraph (j) of this point, but the affected reference filter shall be discarded and replaced;

(j) If any of the reference masses change by more than that allowed under this point 8.1.13.1.4, all PM results that were determined between the two times that the reference masses were determined shall be invalidated. If reference PM sample media is discarded in accordance with paragraph (i) of this point, at least one reference mass difference that meets the criteria set out in point 8.1.13.1.4 shall be available. Otherwise, all PM results that were determined between the two times that the reference media (e.g. filters) masses were determined shall be invalidated.

8.1.12.2. PM sample filter buoyancy correction

8.1.12.2.1. General

PM sample filter shall be corrected for their buoyancy in air. The buoyancy correction depends on the sample media density, the density of air, and the density of the calibration weight used to calibrate the balance. The buoyancy correction does not account for the buoyancy of the PM itself, because the mass of PM typically accounts for only (0,01 to 0,10) % of the total weight. A correction to this small fraction of mass would be at the most 0,010 %. The buoyancy-corrected values are the tare masses of the PM samples. These buoyancy-corrected values of the pre-test filter weighing are subsequently subtracted from the buoyancy-corrected values of the post-test weighing of the corresponding filter to determine the mass of PM emitted during the test.

8.1.12.2.2. PM sample filter density

Different PM sample filter have different densities. The known density of the sample media shall be used, or one of the densities for some common sampling media shall be used, as follows:

(a) For PTFE-coated borosilicate glass, a sample media density of 2 300 kg/m

shall be used;

(b) For PTFE membrane (film) media with an integral support ring of polymethylpentene that accounts for 95 % of the media mass, a sample media density of 920 kg/m

shall be used;

shall be used.

8.1.12.2.3. Air density

Because a PM balance environment shall be tightly controlled to an ambient temperature of 295 ± 1 K (22 ± 1 °C) and a dew point of 282,5 ± 1 K (9,5 ± 1 °C), air density is primarily function of atmospheric pressure. Therefore a buoyancy correction is specified that is only a function of atmospheric pressure.

8.1.12.2.4. Calibration weight density

The stated density of the material of the metal calibration weight shall be used.

8.1.12.2.5. Correction calculation

The PM sample filter shall be corrected for buoyancy by means of equation (6-27):

8.2. Instrument validation for test

8.2.1. Validation of proportional flow control for batch sampling and minimum dilution ratio for PM batch sampling

8.2.1.1. Proportionality criteria for CVS

8.2.1.1.1. Proportional flows

For any pair of flow meters, the recorded sample and total flow rates or their 1 Hz means shall be used with the statistical calculations in Appendix 3 of Annex VII. The standard error of the estimate,

SEE,

of the sample flow rate versus the total flow rate shall be determined. For each test interval, it shall be demonstrated that

SEE

was less than or equal to 3,5 % of the mean sample flow rate.

8.2.1.1.2. Constant flows

For any pair of flow meters, the recorded sample and total flow rates or their 1 Hz means shall be used to demonstrate that each flow rate was constant within ± 2,5 % of its respective mean or target flow rate. The following options may be used instead of recording the respective flow rate of each type of meter:

(a) Critical-flow venturi option. For critical-flow venturis, the recorded venturi-inlet conditions or their 1 Hz means shall be used. It shall be demonstrated that the flow density at the venturi inlet was constant within ± 2,5 % of the mean or target density over each test interval. For a CVS critical-flow venturi, this may be demonstrated by showing that the absolute temperature at the venturi inlet was constant within ± 4 % of the mean or target absolute temperature over each test interval;

(b) Positive-displacement pump option. The recorded pump-inlet conditions or their 1 Hz means shall be used. It shall be demonstrated that the flow density at the pump inlet was constant within ± 2,5 % of the mean or target density over each test interval. For a CVS pump, this may be demonstrated by showing that the absolute temperature at the pump inlet was constant within ± 2 % of the mean or target absolute temperature over each test interval.

8.2.1.1.3. Demonstration of proportional sampling

For any proportional batch sample such as a bag or PM filter, it shall be demonstrated that proportional sampling was maintained using one of the following, noting that up to 5 % of the total number of data points may be omitted as outliers.

Using good engineering judgment, it shall be demonstrated with an engineering analysis that the proportional-flow control system inherently ensures proportional sampling under all circumstances expected during testing. For example, CFVs may be used for both sample flow and total flow if it is demonstrated that they always have the same inlet pressures and temperatures and that they always operate under critical-flow conditions.

Measured or calculated flows and/or tracer gas concentrations (e.g. CO

) shall be used to determine the minimum dilution ratio for PM batch sampling over the test interval.

8.2.1.2. Partial flow dilution system validation

For the control of a partial flow dilution system to extract a proportional raw exhaust gas sample, a fast system response is required; this is identified by the promptness of the partial flow dilution system. The transformation time for the system shall be determined in accordance with the procedure set out in point 8.1.8.6.3.2. The actual control of the partial flow dilution system shall be based on the current measured conditions. If the combined transformation time of the exhaust gas flow measurement 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,

p,i

(sample flow of exhaust gas into partial flow dilution system), proportional to the exhaust gas mass flow. To determine the proportionality, a regression analysis of

p,i

versus

ew,i

(exhaust gas mass flow rate on wet basis) shall be conducted on a minimum 5 Hz data acquisition rate, and the following criteria shall be met:

(a) The correlation coefficient

of the linear regression between

p,i

and

ew,i

shall not be less than 0,95;

(b) The standard error of estimate of

p,i

ew,i

shall not exceed 5 % of

maximum;

intercept of the regression line shall not exceed ± 2 % of

maximum.

Look-ahead control is required if the combined transformation times of the particulate system,

50,P

and of the exhaust gas mass flow signal,

50,F

are > 0,3 s. In this case, a pre-test shall be run and the exhaust gas 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

ew,pre

of the pre-test, which controls

, is shifted by a ‘look-ahead’ time of

50,P

50,F

For establishing the correlation between

p,i

and

ew,i

the data taken during the actual test shall be used, with

ew,i

time aligned by

50,F

relative to

p,i

(no contribution from

50,P

to the time alignment). The time shift between

and

is the difference between their transformation times that were determined in point 8.1.8.6.3.2.

8.2.2. Gas analyzer range validation, drift validation and drift correction

8.2.2.1. Range validation

If an analyzer operated above 100 % of its range at any time during the test, the following steps shall be performed:

8.2.2.1.1. Batch sampling

For batch sampling, the sample shall be re-analyzed using the lowest analyzer range that results in a maximum instrument response below 100 %. The result shall be reported from the lowest range from which the analyzer operates below 100 % of its range for the entire test.

8.2.2.1.2. Continuous sampling

For continuous sampling, the entire test shall be repeated using the next higher analyzer range. If the analyzer again operates above 100 % of its range, the test shall be repeated using the next higher range. The test shall be continued to be repeated until the analyzer always operates at less than 100 % of its range for the entire test.

8.2.2.2. Drift validation and drift correction

If the drift is within ±1 %, the data can be either accepted without any correction or accepted after correction. If the drift is greater than ± 1 %, two sets of brake specific emission results shall be calculated for each pollutant with a brake-specific limit value and for CO

, or the test shall be voided. One set shall be calculated using data before drift correction and another set of data calculated after correcting all the data for drift in accordance with point 2.6 of Annex VII and Appendix 1 of Annex VII. The comparison shall be made as a percentage of the uncorrected results. The difference between the uncorrected and the corrected brake-specific emission values shall be within ± 4 % of either the uncorrected brake-specific emission values or the emission limit value, whichever is greater. If not, the entire test is void.

8.2.3. PM sampling media (e.g. filters) preconditioning and tare weighing

Before an emission test, the following steps shall be taken to prepare PM sample filter media and equipment for PM measurements:

8.2.3.1. Periodic verifications

It shall be made sure that the balance and PM-stabilization environments meet the periodic verifications in point 8.1.12. The reference filter shall be weighed just before weighing test filters to establish an appropriate reference point (see section details of the procedure in point 8.1.12.1). The verification of the stability of the reference filters shall occur after the post-test stabilisation period, immediately before the post-test weighing.

8.2.3.2. Visual Inspection

The unused sample filter media shall be visually inspected for defects, defective filters shall be discarded.

8.2.3.3. Grounding

Electrically grounded tweezers or a grounding strap shall be used to handle PM filters as described in point 9.3.4.

8.2.3.4. Unused sample media

Unused sample media shall be placed in one or more containers that are open to the PM-stabilization environment. If filters are used, they may be placed in the bottom half of a filter cassette.

8.2.3.5. Stabilization

Sample media shall be stabilized in the PM-stabilization environment. An unused sample medium can be considered stabilized as long as it has been in the PM-stabilization environment for a minimum of 30 min, during which the PM-stabilization environment has been within the specifications of point 9.3.4. However, if a mass of 400 μg or more is expected, then the sample media shall be stabilised for at least 60 min.

8.2.3.6. Weighing

The sample media shall be weighed automatically or manually, as follows:

(a) For automatic weighing, the automation system manufacturer's instructions shall be followed to prepare samples for weighing; this may include placing the samples in a special container;

(b) For manual weighing, good engineering judgment shall be used;

(d) Once a filter is weighed it shall be returned to the Petri dish and covered.

8.2.3.7. Buoyancy correction

The measured weight shall be corrected for buoyancy as described in point 8.1.13.2.

8.2.3.8. Repetition

The filter mass measurements may be repeated to determine the average mass of the filter using good engineering judgement and to exclude outliers from the calculation of the average.

8.2.3.9. Tare-weighing

Unused filters that have been tare-weighed shall be loaded into clean filter cassettes and the loaded cassettes shall be placed in a covered or sealed container before they are taken to the test cell for sampling.

8.2.3.10. Substitution weighing

Substitution weighing is an option and, if used, involves measurement of a reference weight before and after each weighing of a PM sampling medium (e.g. filter). While substitution weighing requires more measurements, it corrects for a balance's zero-drift and it relies on balance linearity only over a small range. This is most appropriate when quantifying total PM masses that are less than 0,1 % of the sample medium's mass. However, it may not be appropriate when total PM masses exceed 1 % of the sample medium's mass. If substitution weighing is used, it shall be used for both pre-test and post-test weighing. The same substitution weight shall be used for both pre-test and post-test weighing. The mass of the substitution weight shall be corrected for buoyancy if the density of the substitution weight is less than 2,0 g/cm

. The following steps are an example of substitution weighing:

(a) Electrically grounded tweezers or a grounding strap shall be used, as described in point 9.3.4.6;

(b) A static neutralizer shall be used as described in point 9.3.4.6 to minimize static electric charge on any object before it is placed on the balance pan;

(c) A substitution weight shall be selected that meets the specifications for calibration weights in point 9.5.2. The substitution weight shall also have the same density as the weight that is used to span the microbalance, and shall be similar in mass to an unused sample medium (e.g. filter). If filters are used, the weight's mass should be about (80 to 100) mg for typical 47 mm diameter filters;

(d) The stable balance reading shall be recorded and then the calibration weight shall be removed;

(e) An unused sampling medium (e.g. a new filter) shall be weighed, the stable balance reading recorded and the balance environment's dew point, ambient temperature, and atmospheric pressure recorded;

(f) The calibration weight shall be reweighed and the stable balance reading recorded;

(g) The arithmetic mean of the two calibration-weight readings that were recorded immediately before and after weighing the unused sample shall be calculated. That mean value shall be subtracted from the unused sample reading, then the true mass of the calibration weight as stated on the calibration-weight certificate shall be added. This result shall be recorded. This is the unused sample's tare weight without correcting for buoyancy;

(h) These substitution-weighing steps shall be repeated for the remainder of the unused sample media;

(i) The instructions given in points 8.2.3.7 to 8.2.3.9 shall be followed once weighing is completed.

8.2.4. Post-test PM sample conditioning and weighing

8.2.4.1. Periodic verification

It shall be assured that the weighing and PM-stabilization environments have met the periodic verifications in point 8.1.13.1. After testing is complete, the filters shall be returned to the weighing and PM-stabilisation environment. The weighing and PM-stabilisation environment shall meet the ambient conditions requirements in point 9.3.4.4, otherwise the test filters shall be left covered until proper conditions have been met.

8.2.4.2. Removal from sealed containers

In the PM-stabilization environment, the PM samples shall be removed from the sealed containers. Filters may be removed from their cassettes before or after stabilization. When a filter is removed from a cassette, the top half of the cassette shall be separated from the bottom half using a cassette separator designed for this purpose.

8.2.4.3. Electrical grounding

To handle PM samples, electrically grounded tweezers or a grounding strap shall be used, as described in point 9.3.4.5.

8.2.4.4. Visual inspection

The collected PM samples and the associated filter media shall be inspected visually. If the conditions of either the filter or the collected PM sample appear to have been compromised, or if the particulate matter contacts any surface other than the filter, the sample may not be used to determine particulate emissions. In the case of contact with another surface; the affected surface shall be cleaned before proceeding.

8.2.4.5. Stabilisation of PM samples

To stabilise PM samples, they shall be placed in one or more containers that are open to the PM-stabilization environment, which is described in point 9.3.4.3.A PM sample is stabilized as long as it has been in the PM-stabilization environment for one of the following durations, during which the stabilization environment has been within the specifications of point 9.3.4.3:

(a) If it is expected that a filter's total surface concentration of PM will be greater than 0,353 μg/mm

, assuming a 400 μg loading on a 38 mm diameter filter stain area, the filter shall be exposed to the stabilization environment for at least 60 minutes before weighing;

(b) If it is expected that a filter's total surface concentration of PM will be less than 0,353 μg/mm

, the filter shall be exposed to the stabilization environment for at least 30 minutes before weighing;

(c) If a filter's total surface concentration of PM to be expected during the test is unknown, the filter shall be exposed to the stabilization environment for at least 60 minutes before weighing.

8.2.4.6. Determination of post-test filter mass

The procedures in point 8.2.3 shall be repeated (points 8.2.3.6 through 8.2.3.9) to determine the post-test filter mass.

8.2.4.7. Total mass

Each buoyancy-corrected filter tare mass shall be subtracted from its respective buoyancy-corrected post-test filter mass. The result is the total mass,

total

, which shall be used in emission calculations in Annex VII.

9.

Measurement equipment

9.1. Engine dynamometer specification

9.1.1. Shaft work

An engine dynamometer shall be used that has adequate characteristics to perform the applicable duty cycle including the ability to meet appropriate cycle validation criteria. The following dynamometers may be used:

(a) Eddy-current or water-brake dynamometers;

(b) Alternating-current or direct-current motoring dynamometers;

9.1.2. Transient (NRTC and LSI-NRTC) test cycles

Load cell or in-line torque meter may be used for torque measurements.

When using a load cell, the torque signal shall be transferred to the engine axis and the inertia of the dynamometer shall be considered. The actual engine torque is the torque read on the load cell plus the moment of inertia of the brake multiplied by the angular acceleration. The control system has to perform such a calculation in real time.

9.1.3. Engine accessories

The work of engine accessories required to fuel, lubricate, or heat the engine, circulate liquid coolant to the engine, or to operate exhaust after-treatment systems shall be accounted for and they shall be installed in accordance with point 6.3.

9.1.4. Engine fixture and power transmission shaft system (category NRSh)

Where necessary for the proper testing of an engine of category NRSh, the engine fixture for the test bench and power transmission shaft system for connection to the dynamometer rotating system specified by the manufacturer shall be used.

9.2. Dilution procedure (if applicable)

9.2.1. Diluent conditions and background concentrations

Gaseous constituents may be measured raw or dilute whereas PM measurement generally requires dilution. Dilution may be accomplished by a full flow or partial flow dilution system. When dilution is applied then the exhaust gas may be diluted with ambient air, synthetic air, or nitrogen. For gaseous emissions measurement the diluent shall be at least 288 K (15 °C). For PM sampling the temperature of the diluent is specified in points 9.2.2 for CVS and 9.2.3 for PFD with varying dilution ratio. The flow capacity of the dilution system shall be large enough to completely eliminate water condensation in the dilution and sampling systems. De-humidifying the dilution air before entering the dilution system is permitted, if the air humidity is high. The dilution tunnel walls may be heated or insulated as well as the bulk stream tubing downstream of the tunnel to prevent the precipitation of water-containing constituents from a gas phase to a liquid phase (‘aqueous condensation’).

Before a diluent is mixed with exhaust gas, it may be preconditioned by increasing or decreasing its temperature or humidity. Constituents may be removed from the diluent to reduce their background concentrations. The following provisions apply to removing constituents or accounting for background concentrations:

(a) Constituent concentrations in the diluent may be measured and compensated for background effects on test results. See Annex VII for calculations that compensate for background concentrations;

(b) The following changes to the requirements of sections 7.2, 9.3 and 9.4 are permitted for measuring background gaseous or particulate pollutants:

(i) It shall not be required to use proportional sampling;

(ii) Unheated sampling systems may be used;

(iii) Continuous sampling may be used irrespective of the use of batch sampling for diluted emissions;

(iv) Batch sampling may be used irrespective of the use of continuous sampling for diluted emissions.

(i) For removing background PM, the diluent shall be filtered with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters that have an initial minimum collection efficiency specification of 99,97 % (see Article 2(19) for procedures related to HEPA-filtration efficiencies);

(ii) For correcting for background PM without HEPA filtration, the background PM shall not contribute more than 50 % of the net PM collected on the sample filter;

(iii) Background correction of net PM with HEPA filtration is permitted without pressure restriction.

9.2.2. Full flow system

Full-flow dilution; constant-volume sampling (CVS). The full flow of raw exhaust gas is diluted in a dilution tunnel. Constant flow may be maintained by maintaining the temperature and pressure at the flow meter within the limits. For non-constant flow the flow shall be measured directly to allow for proportional sampling. The system shall be designed as follows (see Figure 6.6):

(a) A tunnel with inside surfaces of stainless steel shall be used. The entire dilution tunnel shall be electrically grounded. Alternatively non-conductive materials may be used for engine categories neither subject to PM nor PN limits;

(b) The exhaust gas back-pressure shall not be artificially lowered by the dilution air inlet system. The static pressure at the location where raw exhaust gas is introduced into the tunnel shall be maintained within ± 1,2 kPa of atmospheric pressure;

(c) To support mixing the raw exhaust gas shall be introduced into the tunnel by directing it downstream along the centreline of the tunnel. A fraction of dilution air maybe introduced radially from the tunnel's inner surface to minimize exhaust gas interaction with the tunnel walls;

(d) Diluent. For PM sampling the temperature of the diluents (ambient air, synthetic air, or nitrogen as quoted in point 9.2.1) shall be maintained between 293 and 325 K (20 to 52 °C) in close proximity to the entrance into the dilution tunnel;

(e) The Reynolds number,

, shall be at least 4 000 for the diluted exhaust gas flow, where

is based on the inside diameter of the dilution tunnel.

is defined in Annex VII. Verification of adequate mixing shall be performed while traversing a sampling probe across the tunnel's diameter, vertically and horizontally. If the analyzer response indicates any deviation exceeding ± 2 % of the mean measured concentration, the CVS shall be operated at a higher flow rate or a mixing plate or orifice shall be installed to improve mixing;

(f) Flow measurement preconditioning. The diluted exhaust gas may be conditioned before measuring its flow rate, as long as this conditioning takes place downstream of heated HC or PM sample probes, as follows:

(i) Flow straighteners, pulsation dampeners, or both of these may be used;

(ii) A filter may be used;

(iii) A heat exchanger may be used to control the temperature upstream of any flow meter but steps shall be taken to prevent aqueous condensation;

(g) Aqueous condensation. Aqueous condensation is a function of humidity, pressure, temperature, and concentrations of other constituents such as sulphuric acid. These parameters vary as a function of engine intake-air humidity, dilution-air humidity, engine air-to-fuel ratio, and fuel composition — including the amount of hydrogen and sulphur in the fuel.

To ensure that a flow is measured that corresponds to a measured concentration, either aqueous condensation shall be prevented between the sample probe location and the flow meter inlet in the dilution tunnel or aqueous condensation shall be allowed to occur and humidity at the flow meter inlet measured. The dilution tunnel walls or bulk stream tubing downstream of the tunnel may be heated or insulated to prevent aqueous condensation. Aqueous condensation shall be prevented throughout the dilution tunnel. Certain exhaust gas components can be diluted or eliminated by the presence of moisture;

For PM sampling, the already proportional flow coming from CVS goes through secondary dilution (one or more) to achieve the requested overall dilution ratio as shown in Figure 9.2 and set out in point 9.2.3.2;

(h) The minimum overall 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 gas flow rate during the test cycle or test interval;

(i) The overall residence time in the system shall be between 0,5 and 5 seconds, as measured from the point of diluent introduction to the filter holder(s);

(j) The residence time in the secondary dilution system, if present, shall be at least 0,5 seconds, as measured from the point of secondary diluent introduction to the filter holder(s).

To determine the mass of the particulates, a particulate sampling system, a particulate sampling filter, a gravimetric balance, and a temperature and humidity controlled weighing chamber, are required.

9.2.3. Partial flow dilution (PFD) system

9.2.3.1. Description of partial flow system

A schematic of a PFD system is shown in Figure 6.7. It is a general schematic showing principles of sample extraction, dilution and PM sampling. It is not meant to indicate that all the components described in the Figure are necessary for other possible sampling systems that satisfy the intent of sample collection. Other configurations which do not match these schematics are allowed under the condition that they serve the same purpose of sample collection, dilution, and PM sampling. These need to satisfy other criteria such as in points 8.1.8.6 (periodic calibration) and 8.2.1.2 (validation) for varying dilution PFD, and point 8.1.4.5 as well as Table 8.2 (linearity verification) and point 8.1.8.5.7 (verification) for constant dilution PFD.

As shown in Figure 6.7, the raw exhaust gas or the primary diluted flow is transferred from the exhaust pipe EP or from CVS respectively to the dilution tunnel DT through the sampling probe SP and the transfer line TL. The total flow through the tunnel is adjusted with a flow controller and the sampling pump P of the particulate sampling system (PSS). For proportional raw exhaust gas sampling, the dilution air flow is controlled by the flow controller FC1, which may use

(exhaust gas mass flow rate on wet basis) or

(intake air mass flow rate on wet basis) and

(fuel mass flow rate) as command signals, for the desired exhaust gas split. The sample flow into the dilution tunnel DT is the difference of the total flow and the dilution air flow. The dilution air flow rate is measured with the flow measurement device FM1, the total flow rate with the flow measurement device of the particulate sampling system. The dilution ratio is calculated from these two flow rates. For sampling with a constant dilution ratio of raw or diluted exhaust gas versus exhaust gas flow (e.g.: secondary dilution for PM sampling), the dilution air flow rate is usually constant and controlled by the flow controller FC1 or dilution air pump.

The dilution air (ambient air, synthetic air, or nitrogen) shall be filtered with a high-efficiency PM air (HEPA) filter.

9.2.3.2. Dilution

The temperature of the diluents (ambient air, synthetic air, or nitrogen as quoted in point 9.2.1) shall be maintained between 293 and 325 K (20 to 52 °C) in close proximity to the entrance into the dilution tunnel.

De-humidifying the dilution air before entering the dilution system is permitted. The partial flow dilution system has to be designed to extract a proportional raw exhaust gas sample from the engine exhaust gas stream, thus responding to excursions in the exhaust gas stream flow rate, and introduce dilution air to this sample to achieve a temperature at the test filter as prescribed by point 9.3.3.4.3. For this it is essential that the dilution ratio be determined such that the accuracy requirements of point 8.1.8.6.1 are fulfilled.

To ensure that a flow is measured that corresponds to a measured concentration, either aqueous condensation shall be prevented between the sample probe location and the flow meter inlet in the dilution tunnel or aqueous condensation shall be allowed to occur and humidity at the flow meter inlet measured. The PFD system may be heated or insulated to prevent aqueous condensation. Aqueous condensation shall be prevented throughout the dilution tunnel.

The minimum dilution ratio shall be within the range of 5:1 to 7:1 based on the maximum engine exhaust gas flow rate during the test cycle or test interval.

The residence time in the system shall be between 0,5 and 5 s, as measured from the point of diluent introduction to the filter holder(s).

9.2.3.3. Applicability

PFD may be used to extract a proportional raw exhaust gas sample for any batch or continuous PM and gaseous emission sampling over any transient (NRTC and LSI-NRTC) duty cycle, any discrete-mode NRSC or any RMC duty cycle.

The system may be used also for a previously diluted exhaust gas where, via a constant dilution-ratio, an already proportional flow is diluted (see Figure 9.2). This is the way of performing secondary dilution from a CVS tunnel to achieve the necessary overall dilution ratio for PM sampling.

9.2.3.4. Calibration

The calibration of the PFD to extract a proportional raw exhaust gas sample is considered in point 8.1.8.6.

9.3. Sampling procedures

9.3.1. General sampling requirements

9.3.1.1. Probe design and construction

A probe is the first fitting in a sampling system. It protrudes into a raw or diluted exhaust gas stream to extract a sample, such that it's inside and outside surfaces are in contact with the exhaust gas. A sample is transported out of a probe into a transfer line.

Sample probes shall be made with inside surfaces of stainless steel or, for raw exhaust gas sampling, with any non-reactive material capable of withstanding raw exhaust gas temperatures. Sample probes shall be located where constituents are mixed to their mean sample concentration and where interference with other probes is minimised. It is recommended that all probes remain free from influences of boundary layers, wakes, and eddies — especially near the outlet of a raw-exhaust meter tailpipe where unintended dilution might occur. Purging or back-flushing of a probe shall not influence another probe during testing. A single probe to extract a sample of more than one constituent may be used as long as the probe meets all the specifications for each constituent.

9.3.1.1.1. Mixing chamber (category NRSh)

Where permitted by the manufacturer, a mixing chamber may be used when testing engines of category NRSh. The mixing chamber is an optional component of a raw gas sampling system and is located in the exhaust system between the silencer and the sample probe. The shape and dimensions of the mixing chamber and tubing before and after shall be such that it provides a well-mixed, homogenous sample at the sample probe location and so that strong pulsations or resonances of the chamber influencing the emissions results are avoided.

9.3.1.2. Transfer lines

Transfer lines that transport an extracted sample from a probe to an analyzer, storage medium, or dilution system shall be minimized in length by locating analyzers, storage media, and dilution systems as close to the probes as practical. The number of bends in transfer lines shall be minimized and that the radius of any unavoidable bend shall be maximized.

9.3.1.3. Sampling methods

For continuous and batch sampling, introduced in point 7.2, the following conditions apply:

(a) When extracting from a constant flow rate, the sample shall also be carried out at a constant flow rate;

(b) When extracting from a varying flow rate, the sample flow rate shall be varied in proportion to the varying flow rate;

9.3.2. Gas sampling

9.3.2.1. Sampling probes

Either single-port or multi-port probes are used for sampling gaseous emissions. The probes may be oriented in any direction relative to the raw or diluted exhaust gas flow. For some probes, the sample temperatures shall be controlled, as follows:

(a) For probes that extract NO

from diluted exhaust gas, the probe's wall temperature shall be controlled to prevent aqueous condensation;

(b) For probes that extract hydrocarbons from the diluted exhaust gas, a probe wall temperature is recommended to be controlled approximately 191 °C to minimise contamination.

9.3.2.1.1. Mixing chamber (Category NRSh)

When used in accordance with point 9.3.1.1.1, the internal volume of the mixing chamber shall not be less than ten times the cylinder displacement of the engine under test. The mixing chamber shall be coupled as closely as possible to the engine silencer and shall have a minimum inner surface temperature of 452 K (179 °C). The manufacturer may specify the design of the mixing chamber.

9.3.2.2. Transfer lines

Transfer lines with inside surfaces of stainless steel, PTFE, Viton

, or any other material that has better properties for emission sampling shall be used. A non-reactive material capable of withstanding exhaust gas temperatures shall be used. In-line filters may be used if the filter and its housing meet the same temperature requirements as the transfer lines, as follows:

(a) For NO

transfer lines upstream of either an NO

-to-NO converter that meets the specifications set out in point 8.1.11.5 or a chiller that meets the specifications set out in point 8.1.11.4 a sample temperature that prevents aqueous condensation shall be maintained;

(b) For THC transfer lines a wall temperature tolerance throughout the entire line of (191 ± 11) °C shall be maintained. If sampled from raw exhaust gas, an unheated, insulated transfer line may be connected directly to a probe. The length and insulation of the transfer line shall be designed to cool the highest expected raw exhaust gas temperature to no lower than 191 °C, as measured at the transfer line outlet. For dilute sampling a transition zone between the probe and transfer line of up to 0,92 m in length is allowed to transition the wall temperature to (191 ± 11) °C.

9.3.2.3. Sample-conditioning components

9.3.2.3.1. Sample dryers

9.3.2.3.1.1. Requirements

Sample dryers may be used for removing moisture from the sample in order to decrease the effect of water on gaseous emissions measurement. Sample dryers shall meet the requirements set out in point 9.3.2.3.1.1 and in point 9.3.2.3.1.2. The moisture content 0,8 volume % is used in equation (7-13).

For the highest expected water vapour concentration

, the water removal technique shall maintain humidity at ≤ 5 g water/kg dry air (or about 0,8 volume % H

O), which is 100 % relative humidity at 277,1 K (3,9 °C) and 101,3 kPa. This humidity specification is equivalent to about 25 % relative humidity at 298 K (25 °C) and 101,3 kPa. This may be demonstrated by

(a) measuring the temperature at the outlet of the sample dryer;

(b) measuring humidity at a point just upstream of the CLD;

performing the verification procedure in point 8.1.8.5.8.

9.3.2.3.1.2. Type of sample dryers allowed and procedure to estimate moisture content after the dryer

Either type of sample dryer described in this point may be used.

(a) If an osmotic-membrane dryer upstream of any gaseous analyzer or storage medium is used, it shall meet the temperature specifications set out in point 9.3.2.2. The dew point,

dew

, and absolute pressure,

total

, downstream of an osmotic-membrane dryer shall be monitored. The amount of water shall be calculated as specified in Annex VII by using continuously recorded values of

dew

and

total

or their peak values observed during a test or their alarm set points. Lacking a direct measurement, the nominal

total

is given by the dryer's lowest absolute pressure expected during testing.

(b) A thermal chiller upstream of a THC measurement system for compression-ignition engines may not be used. If a thermal chiller upstream of an NO

-to-NO converter or in a sampling system without an NO

-to-NO converter is used, the chiller shall meet the NO

loss-performance check specified in point 8.1.11.4. The dew point,

dew

, and absolute pressure,

total

, downstream of a thermal chiller shall be monitored. The amount of water shall be calculated as specified in Annex VII by using continuously recorded values of

dew

and

total

or their peak values observed during a test or their alarm set points. Lacking a direct measurement, the nominal

total

is given by the thermal chiller's lowest absolute pressure expected during testing. If it is valid to assume the degree of saturation in the thermal chiller,

dew

based on the known chiller efficiency and continuous monitoring of chiller temperature,

chiller

may be calculated. If values of

chiller

are not continuously recorded, its peak value observed during a test, or its alarm set point, may be used as a constant value to determine a constant amount of water in accordance with Annex VII. If it is valid to assume that

chiller

is equal to

dew

chiller

may be used in lieu of

dew

in accordance with Annex VII. If it is valid to assume a constant temperature offset between

chiller

and

dew

, due to a known and fixed amount of sample reheat between the chiller outlet and the temperature measurement location, this assumed temperature offset value may be factored in into emission calculations. The validity of any assumptions allowed by this point shall be shown by engineering analysis or by data.

9.3.2.3.2. Sample pumps

Sample pumps upstream of an analyzer or storage medium for any gas shall be used. Sample pumps with inside surfaces of stainless steel, PTFE, or any other material having better properties for emission sampling shall be used. For some sample pumps, temperatures shall be controlled, as follows:

(a) If a NO

sample pump upstream of either an NO

-to-NO converter that meets the requirements set out in point 8.1.11.5 or a chiller that meets the requirements set out in point 8.1.11.4 is used, it shall be heated to prevent aqueous condensation;

(b) If a THC sample pump upstream of a THC analyzer or storage medium is used, its inner surfaces shall be heated to a tolerance of 464 ± 11 K (191 ± 11) °C.

9.3.2.3.3. Ammonia scrubbers

Ammonia scrubbers may be used for any or all gaseous sampling systems to prevent NH

interference, poisoning of NO

-to-NO converter, and deposits in the sampling system or analysers. Installation of the ammonia scrubber shall follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

9.3.2.4. Sample storage media

In the case of bag sampling, gas volumes shall be stored in sufficiently clean containers that minimally off-gas or allow permeation of gases. Good engineering judgment shall be used to determine acceptable thresholds of storage media cleanliness and permeation. To clean a container, it may be repeatedly purged and evacuated and may be heated. A flexible container (such as a bag) within a temperature-controlled environment, or a temperature controlled rigid container that is initially evacuated or has a volume that can be displaced, such as a piston and cylinder arrangement, shall be used. Containers meeting the specifications in the following Table 6.6 shall be used.

Table 6.6

Gaseous Batch Sampling Container Materials

CO, CO2, O2, CH4, C2H6, C3H8, NO, NO2 (2)	polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) (3) for example TedlarTM, polyvinylidene fluoride (3) for example KynarTM, polytetrafluoroethylene (4) for example TeflonTM, or stainless steel (4)
HC	polytetrafluoroethylene (5) or stainless steel (5)

9.3.3. PM sampling

9.3.3.1. Sampling probes

PM probes with a single opening at the end shall be used. PM probes shall be oriented to face directly upstream.

The PM probe may be shielded with a hat that conforms with the requirements in Figure 6.8. In this case the pre-classifier described in point 9.3.3.3 shall not be used.

Figure 6.8

Scheme of a sampling probe with a hat-shaped pre-classifier

[Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]

9.3.3.2. Transfer lines

Insulated or heated transfer lines or a heated enclosure are recommended to minimize temperature differences between transfer lines and exhaust gas constituents. Transfer lines that are inert with respect to PM and are electrically conductive on the inside surfaces shall be used. It is recommended using PM transfer lines made of stainless steel; any material other than stainless steel will be required to meet the same sampling performance as stainless steel. The inside surface of PM transfer lines shall be electrically grounded.

9.3.3.3. Pre-classifier

The use of a PM pre-classifier to remove large-diameter particles is permitted that is installed in the dilution system directly before the filter holder. Only one pre-classifier is permitted. If a hat shaped probe is used (see Figure 6.8), the use of a pre-classifier is prohibited.

The PM pre-classifier may be either an inertial impactor or a cyclonic separator. It shall be constructed of stainless steel. The pre-classifier shall be rated to remove at least 50 % of PM at an aerodynamic diameter of 10 μm and no more than 1 % of PM at an aerodynamic diameter of 1 μm over the range of flow rates for which it is used. The pre-classifier outlet shall be configured with a means of bypassing any PM sample filter so that the pre-classifier flow can be stabilized before starting a test. PM sample filter shall be located within 75 cm downstream of the pre-classifier's exit.

9.3.3.4. Sample filter

The diluted exhaust gas shall be sampled by a filter that meets the requirements set out in points 9.3.3.4.1 to 9.3.3.4.4 during the test sequence.

9.3.3.4.1. Filter specification

The diluent may optionally be charcoal scrubbed before being passed to the HEPA filter to reduce and stabilize the hydrocarbon concentrations in the diluent. It is recommended that an additional coarse particle filter is situated before the HEPA filter and after the charcoal scrubber, if used.

1.2. Compensating for particle number sample flow — full flow dilution systems

To compensate for the mass flow extracted from the dilution system for particle number sampling the extracted mass flow (filtered) shall be returned to the dilution system. Alternatively, the total mass flow in the dilution system may be mathematically corrected for the particle number sample flow extracted. Where the total mass flow extracted from the dilution system for the sum of particle number sampling and particulate mass sampling is less than 0,5 % of the total diluted exhaust gas flow in the dilution tunnel (med) this correction, or flow return, may be neglected.

1.3. Compensating for particle number sample flow — partial flow dilution systems

1.3.1. For partial flow dilution systems the mass flow extracted from the dilution system for particle number sampling shall be accounted for in controlling the proportionality of sampling. This shall be achieved either by feeding the particle number sample flow back into the dilution system upstream of the flow measuring device or by mathematical correction as outlined in point 1.3.2. In the case of total sampling type partial flow dilution systems, the mass flow extracted for particle number sampling shall also be corrected for in the particulate mass calculation as outlined in point 1.3.3.

1.3.2. The instantaneous exhaust gas flow rate into the dilution system (qmp), used for controlling the proportionality of sampling, shall be corrected according to one of the following methods:

(a) In the case where the extracted particle number sample flow is discarded, equation (6-20) in point 8.1.8.6.1 of this Annex shall be replaced by equation (6-29):

qmp = qmdew – qmdw + qex

(6-29)

Where:

mdew

is the diluted exhaust gas mass flow rate, kg/s,

mdw

is the dilution air mass flow rate, kg/s,

is the particle number sample mass flow rate, kg/s.

The

signal sent to the partial flow system controller shall be accurate to within ± 0,1 % of

mdew

at all times and should be sent with frequency of at least 1 Hz.

(b) In the case where the extracted particle number sample flow is fully or partially discarded, but an equivalent flow is fed back to the dilution system upstream of the flow measurement device, equation (6-20) in point 8.1.8.6.1 of this Annex shall be replaced by equation (6-30):

qmp = qmdew – qmdw + qex – qsw

(6-30)

Where:

mdew

is the diluted exhaust gas mass flow rate, kg/s,

mdw

is the dilution air mass flow rate, kg/s,

is the particle number sample mass flow rate, kg/s,

is the mass flow rate fed back into dilution tunnel to compensate for particle number sample extraction, kg/s.

The difference between

and

sent to the partial flow system controller shall be accurate to within ± 0,1 % of

mdew

at all times. The signal (or signals) should be sent with frequency of at least 1 Hz.

1.3.3. Correction of PM measurement

When a particle number sample flow is extracted from a total sampling partial flow dilution system, the mass of particulates (

) calculated in point 2.3.1.1 of Annex VII shall be corrected as follows to account for the flow extracted. This correction is required even where filtered extracted flow is fed back into the partial flow dilution systems, as set out in equation (6-31):

[Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]

(6-31)

Where:

is the mass of particulates determined in accordance with point 2.3.1.1 of Annex VII, g/test,

sed

is the total mass of diluted exhaust gas passing through the dilution tunnel, kg,

is the total mass of diluted exhaust gas extracted from the dilution tunnel for particle number sampling, kg.

1.3.4. Proportionality of partial flow dilution sampling

For particle number measurement, exhaust gas mass flow rate, determined according to any of the methods described in points 8.4.1.3 to 8.4.1.7 of this Annex, is used for controlling the partial flow dilution system to take a sample proportional to the exhaust gas mass flow rate. The quality of proportionality shall be checked by applying a regression analysis between sample and exhaust gas flow in accordance with point 8.2.1.2 of this Annex.

1.3.5. Particle number calculation

Determination and calculation of PN are laid down in Appendix 5 of Annex VII.

However, a sample probe acting as an appropriate size-classification device, such as shown in Figure 6.8, is an acceptable alternative to the use of a particle size pre-classifier. In the case of partial flow dilution systems it is acceptable to use the same pre-classifier for particulate mass and particle number sampling, extracting the particle number sample from the dilution system downstream of the pre-classifier. Alternatively separate pre-classifiers may be used, extracting the particle number sample from the dilution system upstream of the particulate mass pre-classifier.

2.1.4.1. Sampling system description

The particle sampling system shall consist of a sampling probe tip or particle sampling point in the dilution system, a particle transfer tube (PTT), a particle pre-classifier (PCF) and a volatile particle remover (VPR) upstream of the particle number concentration measurement (PNC) unit.

) and particle evaporation (Evaporation tube, ET). The sampling probe or sampling point for the test gas flow shall be so arranged within the dilution tract that a representative sample gas flow is taken from a homogeneous diluent/exhaust gas mixture. The sum of the residence time of the system plus the response time of the PNC shall be no greater than 20 s.

2.1.4.2. Particle transfer system

The sampling probe tip or particle sampling point and Particle Transfer Tube (PTT) together comprise the Particle Transfer System (PTS). The PTS conducts the sample from the dilution tunnel to the entrance to the first particle number diluter. The PTS shall meet the following conditions:

In the case of partial flow dilution systems of the total sampling type (as described in point 9.2.3 of this Annex) the particle sampling point shall be located in the particulate transfer tube, upstream of the particulate filter holder, flow measurement device and any sample/bypass bifurcation point.

In the case of partial flow dilution systems, it is acceptable to use the same pre-classifier for particulate mass and particle number sampling, extracting the particle number sample from the dilution system downstream of the pre-classifier. Alternatively separate pre-classifiers may be used, extracting the particle number sample from the dilution system upstream of the particulate mass pre-classifier.

2.1.4.4. Volatile particle remover (VPR)

The VPR shall comprise one particle number diluter (PND

), an evaporation tube and a second diluter (PND

The VPR shall provide an indication of whether or not PND

and the evaporation tube are at their correct operating temperatures.

)

The first particle number dilution device shall be specifically designed to dilute particle number concentration and operate at a (wall) temperature of 423 K to 673 K (150 °C to 400 °C). The wall temperature set point should be held at a constant nominal operating temperature, within this range, to a tolerance of ± 10 °C and not exceed the wall temperature of the ET (point 2.1.4.4.2).

2.1.4.5. Particle number counter (PNC)

The PNC shall meet the requirements of point 2.1.3.4.

2.2. Calibration/Validation of the particle sampling system

(

)

2.2.1. Calibration of the particle number counter

2.2.1.1 The Technical Service shall ensure the existence of a calibration certificate for the PNC demonstrating compliance with a traceable standard within a 12-month period prior to the emissions test.

2.2.1.2. The PNC shall also be recalibrated and a new calibration certificate issued following any major maintenance.

2.2.1.3. Calibration shall be traceable to a standard calibration method:

(a) By comparison of the response of the PNC under calibration with that of a calibrated aerosol electrometer when simultaneously sampling electrostatically classified calibration particles; or

(b) By comparison of the response of the PNC under calibration with that of a second PNC which has been directly calibrated by the above method.

In the electrometer case, calibration shall be undertaken using at least six standard concentrations spaced as uniformly as possible across the PNC's measurement range. These points will include a nominal zero concentration point produced by attaching HEPA filters of at least class H13 of EN 1822:2008, or equivalent performance, to the inlet of each instrument. With no calibration factor applied to the PNC under calibration, measured concentrations shall be within ± 10 % of the standard concentration for each concentration used, with the exception of the zero point, otherwise the PNC under calibration shall be rejected. The gradient from a linear regression of the two data sets shall be calculated and recorded. A calibration factor equal to the reciprocal of the gradient shall be applied to the PNC under calibration. Linearity of response is calculated as the square of the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient (R

) of the two data sets and shall be equal to or greater than 0,97. In calculating both the gradient and R

the linear regression shall be forced through the origin (zero concentration on both instruments).

In the reference PNC case, calibration shall be undertaken using at least six standard concentrations across the PNC's measurement range. At least 3 points shall be at concentrations below 1 000 cm

– 3

, the remaining concentrations shall be linearly spaced between 1 000 cm

– 3

and the maximum of the PNC's range in single particle count mode. These points will include a nominal zero concentration point produced by attaching HEPA filters of at least class H13 of EN 1822:2008, or equivalent performance, to the inlet of each instrument. With no calibration factor applied to the PNC under calibration, measured concentrations shall be within ± 10 % of the standard concentration for each concentration, with the exception of the zero point, otherwise the PNC under calibration shall be rejected. The gradient from a linear regression of the two data sets shall be calculated and recorded. A calibration factor equal to the reciprocal of the gradient shall be applied to the PNC under calibration. Linearity of response is calculated as the square of the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient (R

) of the two data sets and shall be equal to or greater than 0,97. In calculating both the gradient and R

the linear regression shall be forced through the origin (zero concentration on both instruments).

2.2.1.4. Calibration shall also include a check, against the requirements in point 2.1.3.4.8, on the PNC's detection efficiency with particles of 23 nm electrical mobility diameter. A check of the counting efficiency with 41 nm particles is not required.

2.2.2. Calibration/Validation of the volatile particle remover

2.2.2.1. Calibration of the VPR's particle concentration reduction factors across its full range of dilution settings, at the instrument's fixed nominal operating temperatures, shall be required when the unit is new and following any major maintenance. The periodic validation requirement for the VPR's particle concentration reduction factor is limited to a check at a single setting, typical of that used for measurement on diesel particulate filter equipped non-road mobile machinery. The Technical Service shall ensure the existence of a calibration or validation certificate for the volatile particle remover within a 6-month period prior to the emissions test. If the volatile particle remover incorporates temperature monitoring alarms a 12 month validation interval shall be permissible.

The VPR shall be characterised for particle concentration reduction factor with solid particles of 30 nm, 50 nm and 100 nm electrical mobility diameter. Particle concentration reduction factors (

(

)) for particles of 30 nm and 50 nm electrical mobility diameters shall be no more than 30 % and 20 % higher respectively, and no more than 5 % lower than that for particles of 100 nm electrical mobility diameter. For the purposes of validation, the mean particle concentration reduction factor shall be within ± 10 % of the mean particle concentration reduction factor ([Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]) determined during the primary calibration of the VPR.

2.2.2.2. The test aerosol for these measurements shall be solid particles of 30, 50 and 100 nm electrical mobility diameter and a minimum concentration of 5 000 particles cm

– 3

at the VPR inlet. Particle concentrations shall be measured upstream and downstream of the components.

The particle concentration reduction factor at each particle size (

(

)) shall be calculated by means of equation (6-32):

[Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]

(6-32)

Where:

(

)

is the upstream particle number concentration for particles of diameter

out

(

)

is the downstream particle number concentration for particles of diameter

is the particle electrical mobility diameter (30, 50 or 100 nm)

(

) and

out

(

) shall be corrected to the same conditions.

The mean particle concentration reduction ([Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]) at a given dilution setting shall be calculated by means of equation (6-33):

[Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]

(6-33)

It is recommended that the VPR is calibrated and validated as a complete unit.

2.2.2.3. The Technical Service shall ensure the existence of a validation certificate for the VPR demonstrating effective volatile particle removal efficiency within a 6 month period prior to the emissions test. If the volatile particle remover incorporates temperature monitoring alarms a 12 month validation interval shall be permissible. The VPR shall demonstrate greater than 99,0 % removal of tetracontane (CH

(CH

)

) particles of at least 30 nm electrical mobility diameter with an inlet concentration of ≥ 10 000 cm

– 3

when operated at its minimum dilution setting and manufacturers recommended operating temperature.

2.2.3. Particle number system check procedures

2.2.3.1. Prior to each test, the particle counter shall report a measured concentration of less than 0,5 particles cm

– 3

when a HEPA filter of at least class H13 of EN 1822:2008, or equivalent performance, is attached to the inlet of the entire particle sampling system (VPR and PNC).

2.2.3.2. On a monthly basis, the flow into the particle counter shall report a measured value within 5 % of the particle counter nominal flow rate when checked with a calibrated flow meter.

2.2.3.3. Each day, following the application of a HEPA filter of at least class H13 of EN 1822:2008, or equivalent performance, to the inlet of the particle counter, the particle counter shall report a concentration of ≤ 0,2 cm

– 3

. Upon removal of this filter, the particle counter shall show an increase in measured concentration to at least 100 particles cm

– 3

when challenged with ambient air and a return to ≤ 0,2 cm

– 3

on replacement of the HEPA filter.

2.2.3.4. Prior to the start of each test it shall be confirmed that the measurement system indicates that the evaporation tube, where featured in the system, has reached its correct operating temperature.

2.2.3.5. Prior to the start of each test it shall be confirmed that the measurement system indicates that the diluter PND

has reached its correct operating temperature.

Introduction

The purpose of this Appendix is to set out the requirements for verification in the case that the manufacturer intends to use the torque signal broadcast by the electronic control unit (ECU), of engines so equipped, during the conduct of in-service monitoring tests according to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/655.

The basis for the net torque shall be uncorrected net torque delivered by the engine inclusive of the equipment and auxiliaries to be included for an emissions test according to Appendix 2.

ECU torque signal

With the engine installed on the test bench for conducting the mapping procedure, means shall be provided to read the torque signal broadcast by the ECU according to the requirements of Appendix 6 of Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/655.

3.

Verification procedure

When conducting the mapping procedure according to section 7.6.2 of this Annex readings of the torque measured by the dynamometer and torque broadcast by the ECU shall be taken simultaneously at a minimum of three points on the torque curve. At least one of the readings shall be taken at a point on the curve where the torque is no less than 98 % of the maximum value.

The torque broadcast by the ECU shall be accepted without correction if, at each point where measurements were taken, the factor calculated from dividing the torque value from the dynamometer by the torque value from the ECU is not less than 0,93 (i.e. a difference of 7 %). In this case it shall be recorded in the type approval certificate that the torque broadcast by the ECU has been verified without correction. Where the factor at one or more test points is less than 0,93 the average correction factor shall be determined from all the points where readings were taken and recorded in the type approval certificate. Where a factor is recorded in the type approval certificate it shall be applied to the torque broadcast by the ECU when conducting in-service monitoring tests according to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/655.

Appendix 4

Procedure for the measurement of ammonia

1. This appendix describes the procedure for measurement of ammonia (NH

). For non-linear analysers, the use of linearising circuits shall be permitted.

2. Three measurement principles are specified for NH

measurement and either principle may be used provided it meets the criteria specified in points 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3, respectively. Gas dryers shall not be permitted for NH

measurement.

2.1. Fourier Transform Infrared (hereinafter ‘FTIR’) analyser

2.1.1. Measurement principle

The FTIR employs the broad waveband infrared spectroscopy principle. It allows simultaneous measurement of exhaust gas components whose standardized spectra are available in the instrument. The absorption spectrum (intensity/wavelength) is calculated from the measured interferogram (intensity/time) by means of the Fourier transform method.

2.1.2. Installation and sampling

The FTIR shall be installed in accordance with the instrument manufacturer's instructions. The NH

wavelength shall be selected for evaluation. The sample path (sampling line, pre-filter(s) and valves) shall be made of stainless steel or PTFE and shall be heated to set points between 383 K (110 °C) and 464 K (191 °C) in order to minimize NH

losses and sampling artefacts. In addition, the sampling line shall be as short as practically possible.

2.1.3. Cross interference

The spectral resolution of the NH

wavelength shall be within 0,5 cm

– 1

in order to minimize cross interference from other gases present in the exhaust gas.

2.2. Non Dispersive Ultra Violet Resonance Absorption analyser (hereinafter ‘NDUV’)

2.2.1. Measurement Principle

The NDUV is based on a purely physical principle, no auxiliary gases or equipment is necessary. The main element of the photometer is an electrode-less discharge lamp. It produces a sharply structured radiation in the ultraviolet range, enabling the measurement of several components such as NH

The photometric system has a dual beam in time design set up to produce a measuring and a reference beam by filter correlation technique.

In order to achieve a high stability of the measuring signal the dual beam in time design is combined with a dual beam in space design. The detector signals processing fosters an almost negligible amount of zero point drift rate.

In the calibration mode of the analyser a sealed-off quartz cell is tilted into the beam path to obtain an exact calibration value, since any reflection and absorption losses of the cell windows are compensated. Since the gas filling of the cell is very stable, this calibration method leads to a very high long term stability of the photometer.

2.2.2. Installation

The analyser shall be installed within an analyser cabinet using extractive sampling in accordance with the instrument manufacturer's instructions. The analyzer location shall be capable of supporting the weight specified by the manufacturer.

The sample path (sampling line, pre-filter(s) and valves) shall be made of stainless steel or PTFE and shall be heated to set points between 383 K (110 °C) and 464 K (191 °C).

In addition, the sampling line shall be as short as possible. Influence from exhaust gas temperature and pressure, installation environment and vibrations on the measurement shall be minimized.

The gas analyzer shall be protected from cold, heat, temperature variations, and strong air currents, accumulation of dust, corrosive atmosphere and vibrations. Adequate air circulation shall be provided to avoid heat build-up. The complete surface shall be used to dissipate the heat losses.

2.2.3. Cross Sensitivity

An appropriate spectral range shall be chosen in order to minimize cross interferences of accompanying gases. Typical components causing cross sensitivities on the NH

measurement are SO

, NO

and NO.

Additionally, further methods can be applied to reduce the cross sensitivities.

(a) Usage of interference filters;

(b) Cross sensitivity compensation by measuring cross sensitivity components and using the measurement signal for compensation.

2.3. Laser Infrared analyser

2.3.1. Measurement principle

An infrared laser such as a tunable diode laser (TDL) or a quantum cascade laser (QCL) can emit coherent light in the near-infrared region or in mid-infrared region respectively where nitrogen compounds including NH

have strong absorption. This laser optics can give a pulsed-mode high resolution narrow band near-infrared or mid-infrared spectrum. Therefore, laser infrared analyzers can reduce interference caused by the spectral overlap of co-existing components in engine exhaust gas.

2.3.2. Installation

The analyser shall be installed either directly in the exhaust pipe (in-situ) or within an analyser cabinet using extractive sampling in accordance with the instrument manufacturer's instructions. If installed in an analyser cabinet, the sample path (sampling line, pre-filter(s) and valves) shall be made of stainless steel or PTFE and shall be heated to set points between 383 K (110 °C) and 464 K (191 °C) in order to minimize NH

losses and sampling artefacts. In addition, the sampling line shall be as short as practically possible.

Influence from exhaust gas temperature and pressure, installation environment and vibrations on the measurement shall be minimized, or compensation techniques be used.

If applicable, sheath air used in conjunction with in-situ measurement for protection of the instrument, shall not affect the concentration of any exhaust gas component measured downstream of the device, or sampling of other exhaust gas components shall be made upstream of the device.

2.3.3. Interference verification for NH

laser infrared analyzers (cross interference)

2.3.3.1. Scope and frequency

If NH

is measured using laser infrared analyser, the amount of interference shall be verified after initial analyser installation and after major maintenance.

2.3.3.2. Measurement principles for interference verification

Interference gasses can positively interfere with certain laser infrared analyzer by causing a response similar to NH

. If the analyzer uses compensation algorithms that utilize measurements of other gases to meet this interference verification, these other measurements shall be simultaneously conducted to test the compensation algorithms during the analyzer interference verification.

Good engineering judgment shall be used to determine interference gases for laser infrared analyzer. Note that interference species, with the exception of H

O, are dependent on the NH

infrared absorption band chosen by the instrument manufacturer. For each analyzer the NH

infrared absorption band shall be determined. For each NH

infrared absorption band, good engineering judgment shall be used to determine interference gases to use in the verification.

3. Emissions test procedure

3.1. Checking the analysers

Prior to the emissions test, the analyser range shall be selected. Emission analysers with automatic or manual range switching shall be permitted. During the test cycle, the range of the analysers shall not be switched.

Zero and span response shall be determined, if the provisions set out in point 3.4.2 do not apply for the instrument. For the span response, a NH

gas that meets the specifications set out in point 4.2.7, shall be used. The use of reference cells that contain NH

span gas is permitted.

3.2. Collection of emission relevant data

At the start of the test sequence, the NH

data collection shall be started, simultaneously. The NH

concentration shall be measured continuously and stored with at least 1 Hz on a computer system.

3.3. Operations after test

At the completion of the test, sampling shall continue until system response times have elapsed. Determination of analyser's drift in accordance with point 3.4.1 shall only be required if the information required in point 3.4.2 is not available.

3.4. Analyser drift

3.4.1. 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 analyser shall be determined. The difference between the pre-test and post-test results shall be less than 2 %t of full scale.

3.4.2. Determination of analyser drift is not required in the following situations:

(a) If the zero and span drift specified by the instrument manufacturer in points 4.2.3 and 4.2.4 meets the requirements of point 3.4.1;

(b) The time interval for zero and span drift specified by the instrument manufacturer in points 4.2.3 and 4.2.4 exceeds the duration of the test.

4. Analyser specification and verification

4.1. Linearity requirements

The analyser shall comply with the linearity requirements specified in Table 6.5 of this Annex. The linearity verification in accordance with point 8.1.4 of this Annex shall be performed at least at the minimum frequency set out in Table 6.4 of this Annex. With the prior approval of the approval authority, less than 10 reference points are permitted, if an equivalent accuracy can be demonstrated.

For the linearity verification, a NH

gas that meets the specifications set out in point 4.2.7 shall be used. The use of reference cells that contain NH

span gas shall be permitted.

Instruments, whose signals are used for compensation algorithms, shall meet the linearity requirements specified in Table 6.5 of this Annex. Linearity verification shall be done as required by internal audit procedures, by the instrument manufacturer or in accordance with ISO 9000 requirements.

4.2. Analyser specifications

The analyser shall have a measuring range and response time appropriate for the accuracy required to measure the concentration of NH

under transient and steady state conditions.

4.2.1. Minimum detection limit

The analyser shall have a minimum detection limit of < 2 ppm under all conditions of testing.

4.2.2. Accuracy

The accuracy, defined as the deviation of the analyser reading from the reference value, shall not exceed ± 3 % of the reading or ± 2 ppm, whichever is larger.

4.2.3. Zero drift

The drift of the zero response and the related time interval shall be specified by the instrument manufacturer.

4.2.4. Span drift

The drift of the span response and the related time interval shall be specified by the instrument manufacturer.

4.2.5. System response time

The system response time shall be ≤ 20 s.

4.2.6. Rise time

The rise time of the analyser shall be ≤ 5 s.

4.2.7. NH

calibration gas

A gas mixture with the following chemical composition shall be available.

and purified nitrogen.

The true concentration of the calibration gas shall be within ± 3 % of the nominal value. The concentration of NH

shall be given on a volume basis (volume per cent or volume ppm).

The expiration date of the calibration gases stated by the manufacturer shall be recorded.

4.2.8. Interference verification procedure

The interference verification shall be performed as follows:

(a) The NH

analyzer shall be started, operated, zeroed, and spanned as it would be before an emission test;

(b) A humidified interference test gas shall be created by bubbling a multi component span gas through distilled H

O in a sealed vessel. If the sample is not passed through a sample dryer, the vessel temperature shall be controlled to generate an H

O level at least as high as the maximum expected during emission testing. Interference span gas concentrations shall be used at least as high as the maximum expected during testing;

(d) The water mole fraction,

H2O

, of the humidified interference test gas shall be measured, as close as possible to the inlet of the analyzer. For example, dew point,

dew

, and absolute pressure,

total

, shall be measured to calculate

H2O

;

(e) Good engineering judgment shall be used to prevent condensation in the transfer lines, fittings, or valves from the point where

H2O

is measured to the analyzer;

(f) Time shall be allowed for the analyser response to stabilize;

(g) While the analyser measures the sample's concentration, its output shall be recorded for 30 s. The arithmetic mean of this data shall be calculated;

(h) The analyzer meets the interference verification if the result of paragraph (g) of this point meets the tolerance in this section.

(i) Interference procedures for individual interference gases may also run separately. If the interference gas levels used are higher than the maximum levels expected during testing, each observed interference value may 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 concentrations of H

O (down to 0,025 mol/mol H

O content) that are lower than the maximum levels expected during testing may be run, but the observed H

O interference shall be scaled up by multiplying the observed interference by the ratio of the maximum expected H

O concentration value to the actual value used during this procedure. The sum of the scaled interference values must meet the tolerance for combined interference as specified in paragraph (j) of this point.

(j) Analyzer shall have combined interference within ± 2 % of the flow-weighted mean concentration of NH

expected at the emission limit.

5. Alternative systems

Other systems or analysers may be approved by the approval authority, if it is found that they yield equivalent results in accordance with point 5.1.1 of this Annex. In this case, ‘Results’ in that point shall refer to mean NH

concentration calculated for the applicable cycle.

2.1.5. Component specific factor u

Two calculation procedures are described in points 2.1.5.1 and 2.1.5.2.

The procedure set out in point 2.1.5.2 is more accurate for fuel qualities that deviate from the specifications in Annex VIII, but requires elementary analysis of the fuel composition.

2.1.5.1. Tabulated values

Applying some simplifications (assumption on the

value and on intake air conditions as shown in Table 7.1) to the equations set out in point 2.1.5.2, the resulting values for

2.5. Diluted Exhaust Flow (CVS) Calibration and Related Calculations

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.

2.5.1. 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 m

/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 % of the lowest flow point (highest restriction and lowest PDP speed point).

The airflow rate (

CVS

) at each restriction setting (minimum 6 settings) shall be calculated in standard m

/s from the flowmeter data using the manufacturer's prescribed method. The airflow rate shall then be converted to pump flow (

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 (

) shall increase as the pump flow range decreases.

The calculated values from the equation shall be within ± 0,5 % of the measured value of

. Values of

will vary from one pump to another. Particulate influx over time will cause the pump slip to decrease, as reflected by lower values for

. 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.

2.5.2. 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,

shall be plotted as a function of venturi inlet pressure. For critical (choked) flow,

will have a relatively constant value. As pressure decreases (vacuum increases), the venturi becomes unchoked and

decreases, which indicates that the CFV is operated outside the permissible range.

The airflow rate (

CVS

) at each restriction setting (minimum 8 settings) shall be calculated in standard m

/s from the flowmeter data using the manufacturer's prescribed method. The calibration coefficient

2.5.3. 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 (7-40).

The airflow rate (

SSV

) at each restriction setting (minimum 16 settings) shall be calculated in standard m

2.6. Drift Correction

2.6.1. General procedure

The calculations in this section shall be performed to determine if gas analyzer drift invalidates the results of a test interval. If drift does not invalidate the results of a test interval, the test interval's gas analyzer responses shall be corrected for drift in accordance with point 2.6.2. The drift-corrected gas analyzer responses shall be used in all subsequent emission calculations. The acceptable threshold for gas analyzer drift over a test interval is specified in point 8.2.2.2 of Annex VI.

The general chemical formula of fuel is CH

with

atomic hydrogen-to-carbon ratio (H/C),

atomic oxygen-to-carbon ratio (O/C),

atomic sulphur-to-carbon ratio (S/C) and

atomic nitrogen-to-carbon ratio (N/C). Based on this formula the carbon mass fraction of fuel

can be calculated. In case of diesel fuel the simple formula CH

may be used. Default values for fuel composition may be derived from Table 7.3:

, atomic oxygen-to-carbon ratio,

3.3.5. Flow-weighted mean concentration

In some points of this section, it may be necessary to calculate a flow-weighted mean concentration to determine the applicability of certain provisions. A flow-weighted mean is the mean of a quantity after it is weighted proportional to a corresponding flow rate. For example, if a gas concentration is measured continuously from the raw exhaust gas of an engine, its flow-weighted mean concentration is the sum of the products of each recorded concentration times its respective exhaust gas molar flow rate, divided by the sum of the recorded flow rate values. As another example, the bag concentration from a CVS system is the same as the flow-weighted mean concentration because the CVS system itself flow-weights the bag concentration. A certain flow-weighted mean concentration of an emission at its standard might be already expected based on previous testing with similar engines or testing with similar equipment and instruments.

3.4. Chemical balances of fuel, intake air, and exhaust gas

3.4.1. General

Chemical balances of fuel, intake air and exhaust gas may be used to calculate flows, the amount of water in their flows, and the wet concentration of constituents in their flows. With one flow rate of either fuel, intake air or exhaust gas, chemical balances may be used to determine the flows of the other two. For example, chemical balances along with either intake air or fuel flow to determine raw exhaust gas flow may be used.

3.4.2. Procedures that require chemical balances

Chemical balances are required to determine the following:

(a) The amount of water in a raw or diluted exhaust gas flow,

H2Oexh

, when the amount of water to correct for the amount of water removed by a sampling system is not measured;

(b) The flow-weighted mean fraction of dilution air in diluted exhaust gas,

dil/exh,

when dilution air flow is not measured to correct for background emissions. It has to be noted that if chemical balances are used for this purpose, the exhaust gas is assumed to be stoichiometric, even if it is not.

3.4.3. Chemical balance procedure

The calculations for a chemical balance involve a system of equations that require iteration. The initial values of up to three quantities shall be guessed: the amount of water in the measured flow,

H2Oexh

, fraction of dilution air in diluted exhaust gas (or excess air in the raw exhaust gas),

dil/exh

, and the amount of products on a C1 basis per dry mole of dry measured flow,

Ccombdry

. Time-weighted mean values of combustion air humidity and dilution air humidity in the chemical balance may be used; as long as combustion air and dilution air humidity remain within tolerances of ± 0,0025 mol/mol of their respective mean values over the test interval. For each emission concentration,

, and amount of water

H2Oexh

, their completely dry concentrations,

dry

and

H2Oexhdry

shall be determined. The fuel atomic hydrogen-to-carbon ratio,

, oxygen-to-carbon ratio,

and carbon mass fraction of fuel,

shall also be used. For the test fuel,

and

or the default values in Table 7.3 may be used.

Use the following steps to complete a chemical balance:

(a) Measured concentrations such as,

CO2meas

NOmeas

, and

H2Oint

, shall be converted to dry concentrations by dividing them by one minus the amount of water present during their respective measurements; for example:

H2OxCO2meas

H2OxNOmeas

, and

H2Oint

. If the amount of water present during a ‘wet’ measurement is the same as the unknown amount of water in the exhaust gas flow,

H2Oexh

, it has to be iteratively solved for that value in the system of equations. If only total NO

are measured and not NO and NO

separately, good engineering judgement shall be used to estimate a split in the total NO

concentration between NO and NO

for the chemical balances. The molar concentration of NO

NOx

, may be assumed to be 75 % NO and 25 % NO

. For NO

storage after-treatment systems,

NOx

may be assumed to be 25 % NO and 75 % NO

. For calculating the mass of NO

emissions, the molar mass of NO

for the effective molar mass of all NO

species, regardless of the actual NO

fraction of NO

, shall be used;

(b) Equations (7-82) to (7-99) in paragraph (d) of this point have to be entered into a computer program to iteratively solve for

H2Oexh

Ccombdry

and

dil/exh

. Good engineering judgment shall be used to guess initial values for

H2Oexh

Ccombdry

, and

dil/exh

. Guessing an initial amount of water that is about twice the amount of water in the intake or dilution air is recommended. Guessing an initial value of

Ccombdry

as the sum of the measured CO

, CO, and THC values is recommended. Guessing an initial

dil

between 0,75 and 0,95, such as 0,8 is also recommended. Values in the system of equations shall be iterated until the most recently updated guesses are all within ± 1 % of their respective most recently calculated values;

3.9.3. Venturi governing equations and permissible assumptions

This section describes the governing equations and permissible assumptions for calibrating a venturi and calculating flow using a venturi. Because a subsonic venturi (SSV) and a critical-flow venturi (CFV) both operate similarly, their governing equations are nearly the same, except for the equation describing their pressure ratio,

(i.e.,

SSV

versus

CFV

). These governing equations assume one-dimensional isentropic inviscid compressible flow of an ideal gas. In point 3.9.3(d), other assumptions that may be made are described. If the assumption of an ideal gas for the measured flow is not allowed, the governing equations include a first-order correction for the behaviour of a real gas; namely, the compressibility factor,

. If good engineering judgment dictates using a value other than

= 1, an appropriate equation of state to determine values of

as a function of measured pressures and temperatures may be used, or specific calibration equations may be developed based on good engineering judgment. It shall be noted that the equation for the flow coefficient,

, is based on the ideal gas assumption that the isentropic exponent,

, is equal to the ratio of specific heats,

. If good engineering judgment dictates using a real gas isentropic exponent, an appropriate equation of state to determine values of

as a function of measured pressures and temperatures may be used, or specific calibration equations may be developed. Molar flow rate,

(d) Any of the following simplifying assumptions of the governing equations may be made, or good engineering judgment may be used to develop more appropriate values for testing:

(i) For emission testing over the full ranges of raw exhaust gas, diluted exhaust gas and dilution air, the gas mixture may be assumed to behave as an ideal gas:

(ii) For the full range of raw exhaust gas a constant ratio of specific heats of

= 1,385 may be assumed;

(iii) For the full range of diluted exhaust gas and air (e.g., calibration air or dilution air), a constant ratio of specific heats of

= 1,399 may be assumed;

(iv) For the full range of diluted exhaust gas and air, the molar mass of the mixture,

(v) For the full range of diluted exhaust gas and air, a constant molar mass of the mixture,

This assumption may be made if sufficient control of the amount of water in calibration air and in dilution air is ensured, or if sufficient water is removed from both calibration air and dilution air. Table 7.6 provides for examples of permissible ranges of dilution air dew point versus calibration air dew point:

(i) The Reynolds number,

, for each reference molar flow rate, shall be calculated using the throat diameter of the venturi,

[equation (7-145)]. Because the dynamic viscosity,

, is needed to compute

, a specific viscosity model may be used to determine

(vi) If omitting points does not resolve outliers, corrective action shall be taken. For example, another mathematical expression for the

equation shall be selected, leaks are to be checked, or the calibration process has to be repeated. If the process shall be repeated, tighter tolerances shall be applied to measurements and more time for flows to stabilize shall be allowed;

(vii) Once the equation meets the regression criteria, the equation may be used only to determine flow rates that are within the range of the reference flow rates used to meet the

3.9.5. CFV calibration

(a) Some CFV flow meters consist of a single venturi and some consist of multiple venturis, where different combinations of venturis are used to meter different flow rates. For CFV flow meters that consist of multiple venturis, either calibration of each venturi independently to determine a separate discharge coefficient,

, for each venturi, or calibration of each combination of venturis as one venture may be performed. In the case where a combination of venturis is calibrated, the sum of the active venturi throat areas is used as

, the square root of the sum of the squares of the active venturi throat diameters as

, and the ratio of the venturi throat to inlet diameters as the ratio of the venturi throat to inlet diameters as the ratio of the square root of the sum of the active venture throat diameters (

) to the diameter of the common entrance to all of the venturis (

). To determine the

for a single venturi or a single combination of venturis, the following steps shall be performed:

(i) With the data collected at each calibration set point an individual

for each point shall be calculated using equation (7-140);

(ii) The mean and standard deviation of all the

values shall be calculated in accordance with equations (7-155) and (7-156);

(iii) If the standard deviation of all the

values is less than or equal to 0,3 % of the mean

, then the mean

shall be used in equation (7-120), and the CFV shall be used only down to the lowest

measured during calibration;

r= 1 – (Δp/pin )

(7-148)

(iv) If the standard deviation of all the

values exceeds 0,3 % of the mean

, the

values corresponding to the data point collected at the lowest

measured during calibration shall be omitted;

(v) If the number of remaining data points is less than seven, corrective action shall be taken by checking calibration data or repeating the calibration process. If the calibration process is repeated, checking for leaks, applying tighter tolerances to measurements and allowing more time for flows to stabilize, is recommended;

(vi) If the number of remaining

values is seven or greater, the mean and standard deviation of the remaining

values shall be recalculated;

(vii) If the standard deviation of the remaining

values is less than or equal to 0,3 % of the mean of the remaining

, that mean

shall be used in equation (7-120) and the CFV values only down to the lowest

associated with the remaining

shall be used;

(viii)

If the standard deviation of the remaining

still exceeds 0,3 % of the mean of the remaining

values, the steps set out in paragraph (e) (4) to (8) of this point shall be repeated.

Appendix 1

Drift Correction

1.

Scope and frequency

The calculations in this Appendix shall be performed to determine if gas analyzer drift invalidates the results of a test interval. If drift does not invalidate the results of a test interval, the test interval's gas analyzer responses shall be corrected for drift according to this Appendix. The drift-corrected gas analyzer responses shall be used in all subsequent emission calculations. The acceptable threshold for gas analyzer drift over a test interval is specified in point 8.2.2.2 of Annex VI.

2.

Correction principles

The calculations in this Appendix utilize a gas analyzer's responses to reference zero and span concentrations of analytical gases, as determined sometime before and after a test interval. The calculations correct the gas analyzer's responses that were recorded during a test interval. The correction is based on an analyzer's mean responses to reference zero and span gases, and it is based on the reference concentrations of the zero and span gases themselves. Validation and correction for drift shall be performed as follows:

3.

Drift validation

After applying all the other corrections–except drift correction–to all the gas analyzer signals, brake-specific emissions shall be calculated in accordance with point 3.8. Then all gas analyzer signals shall be corrected for drift according to this Appendix. Brake-specific emissions shall be recalculated using all of the drift-corrected gas analyzer signals. The brake-specific emission results shall be validated and reported before and after drift correction according to point 8.2.2.2 of Annex VI.

4.

Drift correction

All gas analyzer signals shall be corrected as follows:

(a) Each recorded concentration,

, shall be corrected for continuous sampling or for batch sampling,

(c) For any pre-test interval concentrations, concentrations determined most recently before the test interval shall be used. For some test intervals, the most recent pre-zero or pre-span might have occurred before one or more previous test intervals;

(d) For any post-test interval concentrations, concentrations determined most recently after the test interval shall be used. For some test intervals, the most recent post-zero or post-span might have occurred after one or more subsequent test intervals;

(e) If any pre-test interval analyzer response to the span gas concentration,

prespan

, is not recorded,

prespan

shall be set equal to the reference concentration of the span gas:

prespan

refspan

;

(f) If any pre-test interval analyzer response to the zero gas concentration,

prezero

, is not recorded,

prezero

shall be set equal to the reference concentration of the zero gas:

prezero

refzero

;

(g) Usually the reference concentration of the zero gas,

refzero

, is zero:

refzero

= 0 μmol/mol. However, in some cases it might be known that

refzero

has a non-zero concentration. For example, if a CO

analyzer is zeroed using ambient air, the default ambient air concentration of CO

, which is 375 μmol/mol, may be used. In this case,

refzero

= 375 μmol/mol. When an analyzer is zeroed using a non-zero

refzero

, the analyzer shall be set to output the actual xrefzero concentration. For example, if

refzero

= 375 μmol/mol, the analyzer shall be set to output a value of 375 μmol/mol when the zero gas is flowing to the analyzer.

Appendix 2

Carbon Flow Check

1.

Introduction

All but a tiny part of the carbon in the exhaust gas comes from the fuel, and all but a minimal part of this is manifest in the exhaust gas as CO

. This is the basis for a system verification check based on CO

measurements. In the case of SI engines without control of excess air ratio λ or SI engines operating outside the range 0,97 ≤ λ ≤ 1,03, the procedure shall additionally include measurement of HC and CO.

The flow of carbon into the exhaust gas 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 CO

(or CO

, HC and CO) 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 7.1 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 in the following points.

4.2. Service mode

4.2.1. Conditions for dual-fuel engines to operate in service mode

When an engine is operating in service mode it is subject to an operability restriction and is temporarily exempted from complying with the requirements related to exhaust emissions and NO

control described in this Regulation.

4.2.2. Operability restriction in service mode

4.2.2.1. Requirement for engine categories other than IWP, IWA, RLL and RLR

The operability restriction applicable to non-road mobile machinery fitted with a dual-fuel engine of engine categories other than IWP, IWA, RLL and RLR operated in service mode is the one activated by the ‘severe inducement system’ specified in point 5.4 of Appendix 1 of Annex IV.

In order to account for safety concerns and to allow for self-healing diagnostics, use of an inducement override function for releasing full engine power is permitted according to point 5.5 of Appendix 1 of Annex IV.

The operability restriction shall not otherwise be deactivated by either the activation or deactivation of the warning and inducement systems specified in Annex IV.

The activation and the deactivation of the service mode shall not activate or deactivate the warning and inducement systems specified in Annex IV.

4.2.2.2. Requirement for engine categories IWP, IWA, RLL and RLR

For engines of category IWP, IWA, RLL and RLR, in order to account for safety concerns operation in service mode shall be permitted without limitation on engine torque or speed. In this case whenever an operability restriction would have been active according to point 4.2.2.3 the on-board computer log shall record in non-volatile computer memory all incidents of engine operation where the service mode is active in a manner to ensure that the information cannot be intentionally deleted.

It shall be possible for national inspection authorities to read these records with a scan tool.

4.2.2.3. Activation of the operability restriction

The operability restriction shall be automatically activated when the service mode is activated.

(b) Dual-fuel engines of Types 1B, 2B and 3B shall operate in liquid mode.

4.2.3.1. Unavailability of gaseous fuel — empty gaseous fuel tank

In the case of an empty gaseous fuel tank, the service mode or, as appropriate according to point 4.2.3, the liquid fuel mode shall be activated as soon as the engine system has detected that the tank is empty.

When the gas availability in the tank again reaches the level that justified the activation of the empty tank warning system specified in point 4.3.2, the service mode may be deactivated, or, when appropriate, the dual-fuel mode may be reactivated.

4.2.3.2. Unavailability of gaseous fuel — malfunctioning gas supply

In the case of a malfunctioning gas supply system that causes the unavailability of gaseous fuel, the service mode or, as appropriate according to point 4.2.3, the liquid fuel mode shall be activated when gaseous fuel supply is not available.

As soon as the gaseous fuel supply becomes available the service mode may be deactivated, or, when appropriate, the dual-fuel mode may be reactivated.

4.3. Dual-fuel indicators

4.3.1. Dual-fuel operating mode indicator

The non-road mobile machinery shall provide to the operator a visual indication of the mode under which the engine operates (dual-fuel mode, liquid mode, or service mode).

The characteristics and the location of this indicator shall be left to the discretion of the OEM and may be part of an already existing visual indication system.

This indicator may be completed by a message display. The system used for displaying the messages referred to in this point may be the same as the ones used for NO

control diagnostics, or other maintenance purposes.

The visual element of the dual-fuel operating mode indicator shall not be the same as the one used for the purpose of NO

control diagnostics, or for other engine maintenance purposes.

Safety alerts always have display priority over the operating mode indication.

4.3.1.1. The dual-fuel mode indicator shall be set to service mode as soon as the service mode is activated (i.e. before it becomes actually active) and the indication shall remain as long as the service mode is active.

4.3.1.2. The dual-fuel mode indicator shall be set for at least one minute on dual-fuel mode or liquid-fuel mode as soon as the engine operating mode is changed from liquid fuel to dual-fuel mode or vice-versa. This indication is also required for at least one minute at key-on, or at the request of the manufacturer at engine cranking. The indication shall also be given upon the operator's request.

4.3.2. Empty gaseous fuel tank warning system (dual-fuel warning system)

Non-road mobile machinery fitted with a dual-fuel engine shall be equipped with a dual-fuel warning system that alerts the operator that the gaseous fuel tank will soon become empty.

The dual-fuel warning system shall remain active until the tank is refuelled to a level above which the warning system is activated.

The dual-fuel warning system may be temporarily interrupted by other warning signals providing important safety-related messages.

It shall not be possible to turn off the dual-fuel warning system by means of a scan-tool as long as the cause of the warning activation has not been rectified.

4.3.2.1. Characteristics of the dual-fuel warning system

The dual-fuel warning system shall consist of a visual alert system (icon, pictogram, etc.) left to the choice of the manufacturer.

It may include, at the choice of the manufacturer, an audible component. In that case, the cancelling of that component by the operator is permitted.

The visual element of the dual-fuel warning system shall not be the same as the one used for the purpose of NO

control diagnostics, or for other engine maintenance purposes.

In addition the dual-fuel warning system may display short messages, including messages indicating clearly the remaining distance or time before the activation of the operability restriction.

The system used for displaying the warning or messages referred to in this point may be the same as the one used for displaying the warning or messages related the NO

control diagnostics, or warning or messages for other maintenance purposes.

Appendix 1

Dual-fuel engine dual-fuel indicator, warning system, operability restriction — Demonstration requirements

Appendix 2

Emission test procedure requirements for dual-fuel engines

1.

General

This point defines the additional requirements and exceptions of this Annex to enable emission testing of dual-fuel engines independent whether these emissions are solely exhaust emissions or also crankcase emissions added to the exhaust emissions according to point 6.10 of Annex VI. In the case that no additional requirement or exception is listed, the requirements of this Regulation shall apply to dual-fuel engines in the same way as they apply to any other approved engine types or engine families under Regulation (EU) 2016/1628.

Emission testing of a dual-fuel engine is complicated by the fact that the fuel used by the engine can vary between pure liquid fuel and a combination of mainly gaseous fuel with only a small amount of liquid fuel as an ignition source. The ratio between the fuels used by a dual-fuel engine can also change dynamically depending of the operating condition of the engine. As a result special precautions and restrictions are necessary to enable emission testing of these engines.

2.

Test conditions

Section 6 of Annex VI shall apply.

3.

Test procedures

Section 7 of Annex VI shall apply.

4.

Measurement procedures

Section 8 of Annex VI shall apply except as set out in this Appendix.

A full-flow dilution measurement procedure for dual-fuel engines is illustrated in Figure 6.6 of Annex VI (CVS system).

This measurement procedure ensures that the variation of the fuel composition during the test will mainly influence the hydrocarbon measurement results. This shall be compensated via one of the methods described in point 5.1.

Raw gaseous/partial flow measurement illustrated in Figure 6.7 of Annex VI may be used with some precautions regarding exhaust gas mass flow determination and calculation methods.

5.

Measurement equipment

Section 9 of Annex VI shall apply.

6.

Particle number emissions measurement

Appendix 1 of Annex VI shall apply.

7.

Emission calculation

The emission calculation shall be performed according to Annex VII except as set out in this section. The additional requirements set out in point 7.1 shall apply for mass-based calculations and the additional requirements set out in point 7.2 shall apply for molar-based calculations.

The emission calculation requires knowledge of the composition of the fuels being used. When a gaseous fuel is supplied with a certificate confirming the properties of the fuel (e.g. gas from bottles) it is acceptable to use the composition specified by the supplier. Where the composition is not available (e.g. pipeline fuel) the fuel composition shall be analysed at least prior to and after the engine emission test is conducted. More frequent analysis shall be permitted and the results used in the calculation.

Where the gas energy ratio (GER) is used it shall be consistent with the definition in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 and the specific provisions on total hydrocarbon (HC) limits for fully and partially gaseous-fuelled engines in Annex II of that Regulation. The average value of GER over the cycle shall be calculated by one of the following methods:

(a) For hot-start NRTC and RMC NRSC by dividing the sum of the GER at each measurement point by the number of measurement points;

(b) For discrete-mode NRSC by multiplying the average GER for each test mode by the corresponding weighting factor for that mode and calculating the sum for all modes. The weighting factors shall be taken from Appendix 1 of Annex XVII for the applicable cycle.

7.1. Mass-based emission calculation

Section 2 of Annex VII shall apply except as set out in this section.

7.1.1. Dry/wet correction

7.1.1.1. Raw exhaust gas

Equations (7-3) and (7-4) of Annex VII shall be used to calculate the dry/wet correction.

The fuel specific parameters shall be determined in accordance with point 7.1.5.

7.1.1.2. Diluted exhaust gas

Equation (7-3) with either equation (7-25) or (7-26) of Annex VII shall be used to calculate the wet/dry correction.

The molar hydrogen ratio α of the combination of the two fuels shall be used for the dry/wet correction. This molar hydrogen ratio shall be calculated from the fuel consumption measurement values of both fuels in accordance with point 7.1.5.

7.1.2. NO

correction for humidity

The NO

humidity correction for compression ignition engines as specified in equation (7-9) of Annex VII shall be used.

7.1.3. Partial flow dilution (PFS) and raw gaseous measurement

7.1.3.1. Determination of exhaust gas mass flow

The exhaust gas mass flow shall be determined using a raw exhaust flow meter as described in point 9.4.5.3 of Annex VI.

Alternatively the airflow and air to fuel ratio measurement method according to equations (7-17) to (7-19) of Annex VII may be used only if

α, γ, δ

and

values are determined according to point 7.1.5.3. The use of a zirconia-type sensor to determine the air fuel ratio is not allowed.

In the case of testing engines subject to steady-state test cycles only the exhaust gas mass flow may be determined by the air and fuel measurement method in accordance with equation (7-15) of Annex VII.

7.1.3.2. Determination of the gaseous components

Point 2.1 of Annex VII shall apply except as set out in this section.

The possible variation of fuel composition will influence all the

gas

factors and molar component ratios used in the emission calculations. One of the following approaches shall be used to determine

gas

factors and molar component ratios at the choice of the manufacturer.

(a) The exact equations in point 2.1.5.2 or 2.2.3 of Annex VII shall be applied to calculate instantaneous values of

gas

using the instantaneous proportions of liquid and gaseous fuel (determined from instantaneous fuel consumption measurements or calculations) and instantaneous molar component ratios determined in accordance with point 7.1.5; or,

(b) When the mass-based calculation in section 2 of Annex VII is used for the specific case of a dual-fuel engine operated on gas and diesel fuel, tabulated values may be used for the molar component ratios and

gas

values. These tabulated values shall be applied as follows:

(i) For engines operated on the applicable test cycle with an average gas energy ratio greater than or equal to 90 % (GER ≥ 0,9) the required values shall be those for the gaseous fuel taken from Tables 7.1 or 7.2 of Annex VII.

(ii) For engines operated on the applicable test cycle with an average gas energy ratio between 10 % and 90 % (0,1 < GER < 0,9) the required values shall be assumed to be represented by those for a mixture of 50 % gaseous fuel and 50 % diesel fuel taken from Tables 8.1 and 8.2.

(iii) For engines operated on the applicable test cycle with an average gas energy ratio less than or equal to 10 % (GER ≤ 0,1) the required values shall be those for diesel fuel taken from taken from Tables 7.1 or 7.2 of Annex VII.

(iv) For the calculation of HC emissions the

gas

value of the gaseous fuel shall be used in all cases irrespective of the average gas energy ratio (GER).

7.1.3.2.1. Mass per test of a gaseous emission

In the case that the exact equations are applied to calculate instantaneous values of

gas

in accordance with paragraph 7.1.3.2.1(a) then, when calculating the mass per test of a gaseous emission for transient (NRTC and LSI-NRTC) test cycles and RMC,

7.1.3.3. Particulate determination

For the determination of particulate emissions with the partial dilution measurement method the calculation shall be performed according to the equations in point 2.3 of Annex VII.

The requirements of point 8.2.1.2 of Annex VI shall apply for controlling the dilution ratio. In particular, if the combined transformation time of the exhaust gas flow measurement and the partial flow system exceeds 0 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. Except in the case that the exhaust gas mass flow is measured directly the determination of exhaust gas mass flow shall use values of

α, γ, δ

and

determined according to point 7.1.5.3.

The quality check according to point 8.2.1.2 of Annex VI shall be performed for each measurement.

7.1.3.4. Additional requirements regarding the exhaust gas mass flow meter

The flow meter referred to in points 9.4.1.6.3 and 9.4.1.6.3.3 of Annex VI shall not be sensitive to the changes in exhaust gas composition and density. The small errors of e.g. pitot tube or orifice-type of measurement (equivalent with the square root of the exhaust gas density) may be neglected.

7.1.4. Full flow dilution measurement (CVS)

Point 2.2 of Annex VII shall apply except as set out in this section.

3.2.2. Specification for reference fuel supplied from a pipeline with admixture of other gases with gas properties determined by on-site measurement

As an alternative to the reference fuels in this point the equivalent reference fuels in point 3.2.1 may be used.

3.2.2.1. The basis of each pipeline reference fuel (G

, G

, …) shall be gas drawn from a utility gas distribution network, blended, where necessary to meet the corresponding lambda-shift (S

) specification in Table 9.1, with an admixture of one or more of the following commercially

(

)

available gases:

(a) Carbon dioxide;

(b) Ethane;

(d) Nitrogen;

(e) Propane.

3.2.2.2. The value of S

of the resulting blend of pipeline gas and admixture gas shall be within the range specified in Table 9.1 for the specified reference fuel.

Table 9.1

Required range of S

for each reference fuel

Reference fuel	Minimum Sλ	Maximum Sλ
GR (27)	0,87	0,95
G20	0,97	1,03
G23	1,05	1,10
G25	1,12	1,20

3.2.2.3. The engine test report for each test run shall include the following:

(a) The admixture gas(es) chosen from the list in point 3.2.2.1;

(b) The value of S

for the resulting fuel blend;

3.2.2.4. The requirements of Appendices 1 and 2 shall be met in respect to determination of the properties of the pipeline and admixture gases, the determination of S

and MN for the resulting gas blend, and the verification that the blend was maintained during the test.

3.2.2.5. In the case that one or more of the gas streams (pipeline gas or admixture gas(es)) contain CO

in greater than a

de minimus

proportion, the calculation of specific CO

emissions in Annex VII shall be corrected according to Appendix 3.

(1) The values quoted in the specifications 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 technical 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 questions as to whether a fuel meets the requirements of the specifications, the terms of ISO 4259 should be applied.

(2) The range for the cetane number is not in accordance with the requirements of a minimum range of 4R. However, in the case of a dispute between fuel supplier and fuel user, the terms of ISO 4259 may be used to resolve such disputes provided replicate measurements, of sufficient number to archive the necessary precision, are made in preference to single determinations.

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

(4) The values quoted in the specifications 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 technical reasons, the manufacturer of fuels shall 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 whether a fuel meets the requirements of the specifications, the terms of ISO 4259 shall be applied.

(5) Equivalent EN/ISO methods will be adopted when issued for properties listed above.

(6) Should it be necessary to clarify whether a fuel meets the requirements of the specifications, the terms of EN 15489 shall be applied.

(7) The values quoted in the specifications 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 technical reasons, the manufacturer of fuels shall 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 whether a fuel meets the requirements of the specifications, the terms of ISO 4259 shall be applied.

(8) Equivalent EN/ISO methods will be adopted when issued for properties listed above.

(9) A correction factor of 0,2 for MON and RON shall be subtracted for the calculation of the final result in accordance with EN 228:2008.

(10) The fuel may contain oxidation inhibitors and metal deactivators normally used to stabilise refinery gasoline streams, but detergent/dispersive additives and solvent oils shall not be added.

(11) Ethanol meeting the specification of EN 15376 is the only oxygenate that shall be intentionally added to the reference fuel.

(12) The actual sulphur content of the fuel used for the Type 1 test shall be reported.

(13) There shall be no intentional addition of compounds containing phosphorus, iron, manganese, or lead to this reference fuel.

(14) The ethanol content and corresponding oxygen content may be zero for engines of category SMB at the choice of the manufacturer. In this case all testing of the engine family, or engine type where no family exists, shall be conducted using petrol with zero ethanol content.

(15) The values quoted in the specifications 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 technical reasons, the manufacturer of fuels shall 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 whether a fuel meets the requirements of the specifications, the terms of ISO 4259 shall be applied.

(16) The actual sulphur content of the fuel used for the emission tests shall be reported.

(17) Ethanol to meet specification of EN 15376 is the only oxygenate that shall be intentionally added to this reference fuel.

(18) The unleaded petrol content can be determined as 100 minus the sum of the % content of water, alcohols, MTBE and ETBE.

(19) There shall be no intentional addition of compounds containing phosphorus, iron, manganese, or lead to this reference fuel.

(20) Balance shall be read as follows: balance = 100 – C

– < C

– > C

(21) This method may not accurately determine the presence of corrosive materials if the sample contains corrosion inhibitors or other chemicals which diminish the corrosivity of the sample to the copper strip. Therefore, the addition of such compounds for the sole purpose of biasing the test method is prohibited.

(22) At the request of the engine manufacturer, a higher MON could be used to perform the type approval tests.

(23) Inerts (different from N

) + C

(24) Value to be determined at 293,2 K (20 °C) and 101,3 kPa.

(25) Value to be determined at 273,2 K (0 °C) and 101,3 kPa.

(26) The use of calibration gas for this purpose shall not be required.

(27) The engine shall not be required to be tested on a gas blend with a Methane Number (MN) less than 70. In the case that the required range of S

for G

would result in an MN less than 70 the value of S

for G

may be adjusted as necessary until a value of MN no less than 70 is attained.

Appendix 1

Supplementary requirements for conducting emission testing using gaseous reference fuels comprising pipeline gas with admixture of other gases

1.

Method of gas analysis and gas flow measurement

3.2. Where an applicable certificate of analysis is not available for an admixture the composition of that admixture shall be analysed.

3.3. The flowrate of each admixture entering the admixture blending system shall be measured.

4.

Analysis of blended gas

4.1. The analysis of the composition of the gas supplied to the engine after leaving the admixture blending system shall be permitted in addition to, or as an alternative to the analysis required by points 2.1 and 3.1, but shall not be required.

5.

Calculation of S

and MN of the blended gas

5.1. The results of the gas analysis according to point 2.1, point 3.1 or 3.2 and, where applicable, point 4.1, combined with the mass flowrate of gas measured according to points 2.2 and 3.3, shall be used to calculate the MN according to EN16726:2015.

As an alternative to the above equation, S

may be calculated from the ratio of the stoichiometric air demand of pure methane to the stoichiometric air demand of the fuel blend supplied to the engine, as specified below.

Lambda-shift factor (S

) expresses the oxygen demand of any fuel blend in relation to oxygen demand of pure methane. Oxygen demand means the amount of oxygen to oxidise methane in a stoichiometric composition of reaction partners to products of complete combustion (i.e. carbon-dioxide and water).

For the combustion of pure methane the reaction is as set out in equation (9-4):

1 · CH 4 + 2 · O 2 → 1 · CO 2 + 2 · H 2 O

(9-4)

In this case the ratio of molecules in stoichiometric composition of reaction partners is exactly 2:

[Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]

Where:

number of molecules of oxygen

number of molecules of methane

The oxygen demand for pure methane is therefore:

2 ·

with a reference value of [

CH4

]= 1 kmol

The value of S

may be determined from the ratio of the stoichiometric composition of oxygen and methane to the ratio of the stoichiometric composition of oxygen and the fuel blend supplied to the engine, as set out in equation (9-5):

[Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]

(9-5)

Where:

blend

blend

the ratio of the molecules in the stoichiometric composition of oxygen and the fuel blend supplied to the engine

Because air contains 21 % oxygen the stoichiometric air demand

of any fuel shall be calculated by means of equation (9-6):

[Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]

(9-6)

Where:

st,fuel

the stoichiometric air demand for the fuel

fuel

the stoichiometric oxygen demand for the fuel

Consequently the value of S

may also be determined from the ratio of the stoichiometric composition of air and methane to the ratio of the stoichiometric composition of air and the fuel blend supplied to the engine, i.e. the ratio of the stoichiometric air demand of methane to that of the fuel blend supplied to the engine, as set out in equation (9-7):

[Bild bitte in Originalquelle ansehen]

(9-7)

Therefore, any calculation that specifies the stoichiometric air demand may be used to express the Lambda-shift factor.
