6.PARAMETERS DEFINING THE ENGINE FAMILYThe engine family may be defined by basic design parameters which must be common to engines within the family. In some cases there may be interaction of parameters. These effects must also be taken into consideration to ensure that only engines with similar exhaust emission characteristics are included within an engine family.In order that engines may be considered to belong to the same engine family, the following list of basic parameters must be common:6.1.Combustion cycle:2 cycle4 cycle6.2.Cooling medium:airwateroil6.3.Individual cylinder displacement, within 85 % and 100 % of the largest displacement within the engine family6.4.Method of air aspiration6.5.Fuel typeDieselPetrol.6.6.Combustion chamber type/design6.7.Valve and porting — configurations, size and number6.8.Fuel systemFor diesel:pump-line injectorin-line pumpdistributor pumpsingle elementunit injector.For petrol:carburettorport fuel injectiondirect injection.6.9.Miscellaneous featuresExhaust gas recirculationWater injection/emulsionAir injectionCharge cooling systemIgnition type (compression, spark).6.10.Exhaust after-treatmentOxidation catalystReduction catalystThree way catalystThermal reactorParticulate trap.7.CHOICE OF THE PARENT ENGINE7.1.The parent engine of the family shall be selected using the primary criteria of the highest fuel delivery per stroke at the declared maximum torque speed. In the event that two or more engines share this primary criteria, the parent engine shall be selected using the secondary criteria of highest fuel delivery per stroke at rated speed. Under certain circumstances, the approval authority may conclude that the worst case emission rate of the family can best be characterized by testing a second engine. Thus, the approval authority may select an additional engine for test based upon features which indicate that it may have the highest emission levels of the engines within that family.7.2.If engines within the family incorporate other variable features which could be considered to affect exhaust emissions, these features must also be identified and taken into account in the selection of the parent engine.8.TYPE APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS FOR STAGES IIIB AND IV8.1.This section shall apply to the type-approval of electronically controlled engines, which uses electronic control to determine both the quantity and timing of injecting fuel (hereafter "engine"). This section shall apply irrespective of the technology applied to such engines to comply with the emission limit values set out in sections 4.1.2.5 and 4.1.2.6 of this Annex.8.2.DefinitionsFor the purpose of this section, the following definitions shall apply:8.2.1."emission control strategy" means a combination of an emission control system with one base emission control strategy and with one set of auxiliary emission control strategies, incorporated into the overall design of an engine or non-road mobile machinery into which the engine is installed.8.2.2."reagent" means any consumable or non-recoverable medium required and used for the effective operation of the exhaust after-treatment system.8.3.General requirements8.3.1.Requirements for base emission control strategy8.3.1.1.The base emission control strategy, activated throughout the speed and torque operating range of the engine, shall be designed as to enable the engine to comply with the provisions of this Directive8.3.1.2.Any base emission control strategy that can distinguish engine operation between a standardised type approval test and other operating conditions and subsequently reduce the level of emission control when not operating under conditions substantially included in the type approval procedure is prohibited.8.3.2.Requirements for auxiliary emission control strategy8.3.2.1.An auxiliary emission control strategy may be used by an engine or a non-road mobile machine, provided that the auxiliary emission control strategy, when activated, modifies the base emission control strategy in response to a specific set of ambient and/or operating conditions but does not permanently reduce the effectiveness of the emission control system:(a)where the auxiliary emission control strategy is activated during the type approval test, sections 8.3.2.2 and 8.3.2.3 shall not apply;(b)where the auxiliary emission control strategy is not activated during the type approval test, it must be demonstrated that the auxiliary emission control strategy is active only for as long as required for the purposes identified in section 8.3.2.3.8.3.2.2.The control conditions applicable for Stage IIIB and Stage IV are the following:(a)Control conditions for Stage III B engines:(i)an altitude not exceeding 1000 metres (or equivalent atmospheric pressure of 90 kPa);(ii)an ambient temperature within the range 275 K to 303 K (2 °C to 30 °C);(iii)the engine coolant temperature above 343 K (70 °C).Where the auxiliary emission control strategy is activated when the engine is operating within the control conditions set out in points (i), (ii) and (iii), the strategy shall only be activated exceptionally.(b)Control conditions for Stage IV engines:(i)the atmospheric pressure greater than or equal to 82,5 kPa;(ii)the ambient temperature within the following range:equal to or above 266 K (– 7 °C),less than or equal to the temperature determined by the following equation at the specified atmospheric pressure: , where: Tc is the calculated ambient air temperature, K and Pb is the atmospheric pressure, kPa;(iii)the engine coolant temperature above 343 K (70 °C).Where the auxiliary emission control strategy is activated when the engine is operating within the control conditions set out in points (i), (ii) and (iii), the strategy shall only be activated when demonstrated to be necessary for the purposes identified in Section 8.3.2.3. and approved by the Type Approval authority.(c)Cold temperature operationBy derogation from the requirements of point (b), an auxiliary emission control strategy may be used on a Stage IV engine equipped with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) when the ambient temperature is below 275 K (2 °C) and if one of the two following criteria is met:(i)intake manifold temperature is less than or equal to the temperature defined by the following equation: , where: IMTc is the calculated intake manifold temperature, K and PIM is the absolute intake manifold pressure in kPa;(ii)engine coolant temperature is less than or equal to the temperature defined by the following equation: , where: ECTc is the calculated engine coolant temperature, K and PIM is the absolute intake manifold pressure, kPa.8.3.2.3.An auxiliary emission control strategy may be activated in particular for the following purposes:(a)by onboard signals, for protecting the engine (including air-handling device protection) and/or non-road mobile machine into which the engine is installed from damage;(b)for operational safety reasons;(c)for prevention of excessive emissions, during cold start or warming-up, during shut-down;(d)if used to trade-off the control of one regulated pollutant under specific ambient or operating conditions, for maintaining control of all other regulated pollutants, within the emission limit values that are appropriate for the engine concerned. The purpose is to compensate for naturally occurring phenomena in a manner that provides acceptable control of all emission constituents.8.3.2.4.The manufacturer shall demonstrate to the technical service at the time of the type-approval test that the operation of any auxiliary emission strategy complies with the provisions of section 8.3.2. The demonstration shall consist of an evaluation of the documentation referred to in section 8.3.3.8.3.2.5.Any operation of an auxiliary emission control strategy not compliant with section 8.3.2 is prohibited.8.3.3.Documentation requirements8.3.3.1.The manufacturer shall provide an information folder accompanying the application for type-approval at the time of submission to the technical service, which ensures access to any element of design and emission control strategy and the means by which the auxiliary strategy directly or indirectly controls the output variables. The information folder shall be made available in two parts:(a)the documentation package, annexed to the application for type-approval, shall include a full overview of the emission control strategy.

ANNEX IIINFORMATION DOCUMENT No. …relating to type-approval and referring to measures against the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from internal combustion engines to be installed in non-road mobile machinery(Directive 97/68/EC as last amended by Directive ../…/EC)ANNEX IIITEST PROCEDURE FOR C.I. ENGINES1.INTRODUCTION1.1.This Annex describes the method of determining emissions of gaseous and particulate pollutants from the engine to be tested.The following test cycles shall apply:the NRSC (non-road steady cycle) appropriate for the equipment specification which shall be used for the measurement of the emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen and particulates for stages I, II, IIIA, IIIB and IV of engines described in points (i) and (ii) of section 1.A of Annex I, andthe NRTC (non-road transient cycle) which shall be used for the measurement of the emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen and particulates for stages IIIB and IV of engines described in point (i) of section 1.A of Annex I,for engines intended to be used in inland waterway vessels the ISO test procedure as specified by ISO 8178-4:2002 and IMOIMO: International Maritime Organisation. MARPOLMARPOL: International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships. 73/78, Annex VI (NOx Code) shall be used,for engines intended for propulsion of railcars an NRSC shall be used for the measurement of gaseous and particulate pollutants for stage IIIA and for stage IIIB,for engines intended for propulsion of locomotives an NRSC shall be used for the measurement of gaseous and particulate pollutants for stage IIIA and for stage IIIB.1.2.Selection of test procedureThe test shall be carried out with the engine mounted on a test bench and connected to a dynamometer.1.2.1.Test procedure for stages I, II, IIIA, IIIB and IVThe test shall be carried out in accordance with the procedure in this Annex or, at the choice of the manufacturer, the test procedure as specified in Annex 4B to UNECE Regulation No 96.03 series of amendments shall be applied.In addition, the following requirements apply:(i)durability requirements as set out in Appendix 5 to this Annex;(ii)engine control area provisions as set out in Section 8.6 of Annex I (stage IV engines only);(iii)CO2 reporting requirements as set out in Appendix 6 to this Annex for engines tested according to the procedure in this Annex. In case of engines tested according to the procedure in Annex 4B to UNECE Regulation No 96.03 series of amendments, Appendix 7 to this Annex shall apply;(iv)the reference fuel in Annex V to this Directive shall be used for engines tested according to the requirements in this Annex. The reference fuel in Annex V to this Directive shall be used in case of engines tested according to the requirements in Annex 4B to UNECE Regulation No 96.03 series of amendments.1.2.1.1.In case that the manufacturer chooses in accordance with Annex I, Section 8.6.2 to use the test procedure specified in Annex 4B to UNECE Regulation No 96.03 series of amendments for testing engines of stages I, II, IIIA or IIIB, the test cycles specified in Section 3.7.1 shall be used.1.3.Measurement principle:The engine exhaust emissions to be measured include the gaseous components (carbon monoxide, total hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen), and the particulates. Additionally, carbon dioxide is often used as a tracer gas for determining the dilution ratio of partial and full flow dilution systems. Good engineering practice recommends the general measurement of carbon dioxide as an excellent tool for the detection of measurement problems during the test run.1.3.1.NRSC test:During a prescribed sequence of operating conditions, with the engines warmed up, the amounts of the above exhaust emissions shall be examined continuously by taking a sample from the raw exhaust gas. The test cycle consists of a number of speed and torque (load) modes, which cover the typical operating range of diesel engines. During each mode, the concentration of each gaseous pollutant, exhaust flow and power output shall be determined, and the measured values weighted. The particulate sample shall be diluted with conditioned ambient air. One sample over the complete test procedure shall be taken and collected on suitable filters.Alternatively, a sample shall be taken on separate filters, one for each mode, and cycle-weighted results computed.The grams of each pollutant emitted per kilowatt-hour shall be calculated as described in Appendix 3 to this Annex.1.3.2.NRTC testThe prescribed transient test cycle, based closely on the operating conditions of diesel engines installed in non-road machinery, is run twice:the first time (cold start) after the engine has soaked to room temperature and the engine coolant and oil temperatures, after treatment systems and all auxiliary engine control devices are stabilised between 20 and 30 °C,the second time (hot start) after a twenty-minute hot soak that commences immediately after the completion of the cold start cycle.During this test sequence the above pollutants shall be examined. The test sequence consists of a cold start cycle following natural or forced cool-down of the engine, a hot soak period and a hot start cycle, resulting in a composite emissions calculation. Using the engine torque and speed feedback signals of the engine dynamometer, the power shall be integrated with respect to the time of the cycle, resulting in the work produced by the engine over the cycle. The concentrations of the gaseous components shall be determined over the cycle, either in the raw exhaust gas by integration of the analyser signal in accordance with Appendix 3 to this Annex, or in the diluted exhaust gas of a CVS full-flow dilution system by integration or by bag sampling in accordance with Appendix 3 to this Annex. For particulates, a proportional sample shall be collected from the diluted exhaust gas on a specified filter by either partial flow dilution or full-flow dilution. Depending on the method used, the diluted or undiluted exhaust gas flow rate shall be determined over the cycle to calculate the mass emission values of the pollutants. The mass emission values shall be related to the engine work to give the grams of each pollutant emitted per kilowatt-hour.Emissions (g/kWh) shall be measured during both the cold and hot start cycles. Composite weighted emissions shall be computed by weighting the cold start results 10 % and the hot start results 90 %. Weighted composite results shall meet the limits.2.TEST CONDITIONS2.1.General requirementsAll volumes and volumetric flow rates shall be related to 273 K (0 oC) and 101,3 kPa.2.2.Engine test conditions2.2.1.The absolute temperature Ta of the engine intake air expressed in Kelvin, and the dry atmospheric pressure ps, expressed in kPa, shall be measured, and the parameter fa shall be determined according to the following provisions:Naturally aspirated and mechanically supercharged engines:Turbocharged engine with or without cooling of the intake air:2.2.2.Test validityFor a test to be recognized as valid, the parameter fa shall be such that:2.2.3.Engines with charge air coolingThe charge air temperature shall be recorded and, at the declared rated speed and full load, shall be within ± 5 K of the maximum charge air temperature specified by the manufacturer.

At the end of the stabilization period, each filter (pair) shall be weighed and the tare weight shall be recorded. The filter (pair) shall then be stored in a closed petri dish or filter holder until needed for testing. If the filter (pair) is not used within eight hours of its removal from the weighing chamber, it must be reweighed before use.3.3.Installation of the measuring equipmentThe instrumentation and sample probes shall be installed as required. When using a full flow dilution system for exhaust gas dilution, the tailpipe shall be connected to the system.3.4.Starting the dilution system and engineThe dilution system and the engine shall be started and warmed up until all temperatures and pressures have stabilized at full load and rated speed (section 3.6.2).3.5.Adjustment of the dilution ratioThe particulate sampling system shall be started and running on bypass for the single filter method (optional for the multiple filter method). The particulate background level of the dilution air may be determined by passing dilution air through the particulate filters. If filtered dilution air is used, one measurement may be done at any time prior to, during, or after the test. If the dilution air is not filtered, the measurement must be done on one sample taken for the duration of the test.The dilution air shall be set to obtain a filter face temperature between 315 K (42 °C) and 325 K (52 °C) at each mode. The total dilution ratio shall not be less than four.NOTE: For steady-state procedure, the filter temperature may be kept at or below the maximum temperature of 325 K (52 °C) instead of respecting the temperature range of 42 °C to 52 °C.For the single and multiple filter methods, the sample mass flow rate through the filter shall be maintained at a constant proportion of the dilute exhaust mass flow rate for full flow systems for all modes.

4.TEST RUN (NRTC TEST)4.1.IntroductionThe non-road transient cycle (NRTC) is listed in Annex III, Appendix 4 as a second-by-second sequence of normalised speed and torque values applicable to all diesel engines covered by this Directive. In order to perform the test on an engine test cell, the normalised values shall be converted to the actual values for the individual engine under test, based on the engine mapping curve. This conversion is referred to as denormalisation, and the test cycle developed is referred to as the reference cycle of the engine to be tested. With these reference speed and torque values, the cycle shall be run on the test cell, and the feedback speed and torque values recorded. In order to validate the test run, a regression analysis between reference and feedback speed and torque values shall be conducted upon completion of the test.4.1.1.The use of defeat devices or irrational control or irrational emission control strategies shall be prohibited4.2.Engine mapping procedureWhen generating the NRTC on the test cell, the engine shall be mapped before running the test cycle to determine the speed vs torque curve.4.2.1.Determination of the mapping speed rangeThe minimum and maximum mapping speeds are defined as follows:Minimum mapping speedidle speedMaximum mapping speednhi x 1,02 or speed where full load torque drops off to zero, whichever is lower (where nhi is the high speed, defined as the highest engine speed where 70 % of the rated power is delivered).4.2.2.Engine mapping curveThe engine shall be warmed up at maximum power in order to stabilise the engine parameters according to the recommendation of the manufacturer and good engineering practice. When the engine is stabilised, the engine mapping shall be performed according to the following procedures.4.2.2.1.Transient map(a)The engine shall be unloaded and operated at idle speed.(b)The engine shall be operated at full load setting of the injection pump at minimum mapping speed.(c)The engine speed shall be increased at an average rate of 8 ± 1 min-1/s from minimum to maximum mapping speed. Engine speed and torque points shall be recorded at a sample rate of at least one point per second.4.2.2.2.Step map(a)The engine shall be unloaded and operated at idle speed.(b)The engine shall be operated at full load setting of the injection pump at minimum mapping speed.(c)While maintaining full load, the minimum mapping speed shall be maintained for at least 15 s, and the average torque during the last 5 s shall be recorded. The maximum torque curve from minimum to maximum mapping speed shall be determined in no greater than 100 ± 20/min speed increments. Each test point shall be held for at least 15 s, and the average torque during the last 5 s shall be recorded.4.2.3.Mapping curve generationAll data points recorded under section 4.2.2 shall be connected using linear interpolation between points. The resulting torque curve is the mapping curve and shall be used to convert the normalised torque values of the engine dynamometer schedule of Annex IV into actual torque values for the test cycle, as described in section 4.3.3.4.2.4.Alternate mappingIf 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 must 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 parties involved along with the justification for their use. In no case, however, shall the torque curve be run by descending engine speeds for governed or turbocharged engines.4.2.5.Replicate testsAn engine need not be mapped before each and every test cycle. An engine must be remapped prior to a test cycle if:an unreasonable amount of time has transpired since the last map, as determined by engineering judgement, or,physical changes or recalibrations have been made to the engine, which may potentially affect engine performance.4.3.Generation of the reference test cycle4.3.1.Reference speedThe reference speed (nref) corresponds to the 100 % normalised speed values specified in the engine dynamometer schedule of Appendix 4 of Annex III. The actual engine cycle resulting from denormalisation to the reference speed depends largely on selection of the proper reference speed. The reference speed shall be determined by the following formula:nref = low speed + 0,95 x (high speed – low speed)(the high speed is the highest engine speed where 70 % of the rated power is delivered, while the low speed is the lowest engine speed where 50 % of the rated power is delivered).If the measured reference speed is within +/– 3 % of the reference speed as declared by the manufacturer, the declared reference speed may be used for the emissions test. If the tolerance is exceeded, the measured reference speed shall be used for the emissions testThis is consistent with the ISO 8178-11:2006 standard..4.3.2.Denormalisation of engine speedThe speed shall be denormalised using the following equation:4.3.3.Denormalisation of engine torqueThe torque values in the engine dynamometer schedule of Annex III, Appendix 4 are normalised to the maximum torque at the respective speed. The torque values of the reference cycle shall be denormalised, using the mapping curve determined according to Section 4.2.2, as follows:for the respective actual speed as determined in Section 4.3.2.4.3.4.Example of denormalisation procedureAs an example, the following test point shall be denormalised:% speed = 43 %% torque = 82 %Given the following values:reference speed = 2200/minidle speed = 600/minresults inWith the maximum torque of 700 Nm observed from the mapping curve at 1288/min4.4.Dynamometer4.4.1.When using a load cell, the torque signal shall be transferred to the engine axis and the inertia of the dyno 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 this calculation in real time.4.4.2.If the engine is tested with an eddy-current dynamometer, it is recommended that the number of points, where the difference is smaller than – 5 % of the peak torque, does not exceed 30 (where Tsp is the demanded torque, is the derivative of the engine speed, is the rotational inertia of the eddy-current dynamometer).4.5.Emissions test runThe following flow chart outlines the test sequence:One or more practice cycles may be run as necessary to check engine, test cell and emissions systems before the measurement cycle.4.5.1.Preparation of the sampling filtersAt least one hour before the test, each filter shall be placed in a petri dish, which is protected against dust contamination and allows air exchange, and placed in a weighing chamber for stabilisation. At the end of the stabilisation period, each filter shall be weighed and the weight shall be recorded. The filter shall then be stored in a closed petri dish or sealed filter holder until needed for testing. The filter shall be used within eight hours of its removal from the weighing chamber. The tare weight shall be recorded.4.5.2.Installation of the measuring equipmentThe instrumentation and sample probes shall be installed as required. The tailpipe shall be connected to the full-flow dilution system, if used.4.5.3.Starting the dilution systemThe dilution system shall be started. The total diluted exhaust gas flow of a full-flow dilution system or the diluted exhaust gas flow through a partial flow dilution system shall be set to eliminate water condensation in the system, and to obtain a filter face temperature between 315 K (42 °C) and 325 K (52 °C).4.5.4.Starting the particulate sampling systemThe particulate sampling system shall be started and run on by-pass. The particulate background level of the dilution air may be determined by sampling the dilution air prior to entrance of the exhaust into the dilution tunnel. It is preferred that background particulate sample be collected during the transient cycle if another PM sampling system is available. Otherwise, the PM sampling system used to collect transient cycle PM can be used. If filtered dilution air is used, one measurement may be done prior to or after the test. If the dilution air is not filtered, measurements should be carried out prior to the beginning and after the end of the cycle and the values averaged.4.5.5.Checking the analysersThe emission analysers shall be set at zero and spanned. If sample bags are used, they shall be evacuated.4.5.6.Cool-down requirementsA natural or forced cool-down procedure may be applied. For forced cool-down, good engineering judgement 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 after-treatment system has cooled below its catalytic activation temperature. Any cooling procedure that results in unrepresentative emissions is not permitted.The cold start cycle exhaust emission test may begin after a cool-down only when the engine oil, coolant and after-treatment temperatures are stabilised between 20 °C and 30 °C for a minimum of 15 minutes.4.5.7.Cycle run4.5.7.1.Cold start cycleThe test sequence shall commence with the cold start cycle at the completion of the cool-down when all the requirements specified in section 4.5.6 are met.The engine shall be started according to the starting procedure recommended by the manufacturer in the owner's manual, using either a production starter motor or the dynamometer.As soon as it is determined that the engine is started, start a "free idle" timer. Allow the engine to idle freely with no-load for 23 ± 1 s. Begin the transient engine cycle such that the first non-idle record of the cycle occurs at 23 ± 1 s. The free idle time is included in the 23 ± 1 s.The test shall be performed according to the reference cycle as set out in Annex III, Appendix 4. Engine speed and torque command set points shall be issued at 5 Hz (10 Hz recommended) or greater. The set points shall be calculated by linear interpolation between the 1 Hz set points of the reference cycle. Feedback engine speed and torque shall be recorded at least once every second during the test cycle, and the signals may be electronically filtered.4.5.7.2.Analyser responseAt the start of the engine the measuring equipment shall be started, simultaneously:start collecting or analysing dilution air, if a full flow dilution system is used,start collecting or analysing raw or diluted exhaust gas, depending on the method used,start measuring the amount of diluted exhaust gas and the required temperatures and pressures,start recording the exhaust gas mass flow rate, if raw exhaust gas analysis is used,start recording the feedback data of speed and torque of the dynamometer.If raw exhaust measurement is used, the emission concentrations (HC, CO and NOx) and the exhaust gas mass flow rate shall be measured continuously and stored with at least 2 Hz on a computer system. All other data may be recorded with a sample rate of at least 1 Hz. For analogue analysers the response shall be recorded, and the calibration data may be applied online or offline during the data evaluation.If a full flow dilution system is used, HC and NOx shall be measured continuously in the dilution tunnel with a frequency of at least 2 Hz. The average concentrations shall be determined by integrating the analyser signals over the test cycle. The system response time shall be no greater than 20 s, and shall be coordinated with CVS flow fluctuations and sampling time/test cycle offsets, if necessary. CO and CO2 shall be determined by integration or by analysing the concentrations in the sample bag collected over the cycle. The concentrations of the gaseous pollutants in the dilution air shall be determined by integration or by collection in the background bag. All other parameters that need to be measured shall be recorded with a minimum of one measurement per second (1 Hz).4.5.7.3.Particulate samplingAt the start of the engine the particulate sampling system shall be switched from by-pass to collecting particulates.If a partial flow dilution system is used, the sample pump(s) shall be adjusted so that the flow rate through the particulate sample probe or transfer tube is maintained proportional to the exhaust mass flow rate.If a full flow dilution system is used, the sample pump(s) shall be adjusted so that the flow rate through the particulate sample probe or transfer tube is maintained at a value within ± 5 % of the set flow rate. If flow compensation (i.e. proportional control of sample flow) is used, it must be demonstrated that the ratio of main tunnel flow to particulate sample flow does not change by more than ± 5 % of its set value (except for the first 10 seconds of sampling).NOTE: For double dilution operation, sample flow is the net difference between the flow rate through the sample filters and the secondary dilution airflow rate.The average temperature and pressure at the gas meter(s) or flow instrumentation inlet shall be recorded. If the set flow rate cannot be maintained over the complete cycle (within ± 5 %) because of high particulate loading on the filter, the test shall be voided. The test shall be rerun using a lower flow rate and/or a larger diameter filter.4.5.7.4.Engine stalling during the cold start test cycleIf the engine stalls anywhere during the cold start test cycle, the engine shall be preconditioned, then the cool-down procedure repeated; finally the engine shall be restarted, and the test repeated. If a malfunction occurs in any of the required test equipment during the test cycle, the test shall be voided.4.5.7.5.Operations after cold start cycleAt the completion of the cold start cycle of the test, the measurement of the exhaust gas mass flow rate, the diluted exhaust gas volume, the gas flow into the collecting bags and the particulate sample pump shall be stopped. For an integrating analyser system, sampling shall continue until system response times have elapsed.The concentrations of the collecting bags, if used, shall be analysed as soon as possible and in any case not later than 20 minutes after the end of the test cycle.After the emission test, a zero gas and the same span gas shall be used for re-checking the analysers. The test will be considered acceptable if the difference between the pre-test and post-test results is less than 2 % of the span gas value.The particulate filters shall be returned to the weighing chamber no later than one hour after completion of the test. They shall be conditioned in a petri dish, which is protected against dust contamination and allows air exchange, for at least one hour, and then weighed. The gross weight of the filters shall be recorded.4.5.7.6.Hot soakImmediately after the engine is turned off, the engine cooling fan(s) shall be turned off if used, as well as the CVS blower (or disconnect the exhaust system from the CVS), if used.Allow the engine to soak for 20 ± 1 minutes. Prepare the engine and dynamometer for the hot start test. Connect evacuated sample collection bags to the dilute exhaust and dilution air sample collection systems. Start the CVS (if used or not already on) or connect the exhaust system to the CVS (if disconnected). Start the sample pumps (except the particulate sample pump(s), the engine cooling fan(s) and the data collection system.The heat exchanger of the constant volume sampler (if used) and the heated components of any continuous sampling system(s) (if applicable) shall be preheated to their designated operating temperatures before the test begins.Adjust the sample flow rates to the desired flow rate and set the CVS gas flow measuring devices to zero. Carefully install a clean particulate filter in each of the filter holders and install assembled filter holders in the sample flow line.4.5.7.7.Hot start cycleAs soon as it is determined that the engine is started, start a "free idle" timer. Allow the engine to idle freely with no-load for 23 ± 1 s. Begin the transient engine cycle such that the first non-idle record of the cycle occurs at 23 ± 1 s. The free idle time is included in the 23 ± 1 s.The test shall be performed according to the reference cycle as set out in Appendix 4 to Annex III. Engine speed and torque command set points shall be issued at 5 Hz (10 Hz recommended) or greater. The set points shall be calculated by linear interpolation between the 1 Hz set points of the reference cycle. Feedback engine speed and torque shall be recorded at least once every second during the test cycle, and the signals may be electronically filtered.The procedure described in previous sections 4.5.7.2 and 4.5.7.3 shall then be repeated.4.5.7.8.Engine stalling during the hot start cycleIf the engine stalls anywhere during the hot start cycle, the engine may be shut off and re-soaked for 20 minutes. The hot start cycle may then be rerun. Only one hot re-soak and hot start cycle restart is permitted.4.5.7.9.Operations after hot start cycleAt the completion of the hot start cycle, the measurement of the exhaust gas mass flow rate, the diluted exhaust gas volume, the gas flow into the collecting bags and the particulate sample pump shall be stopped. For an integrating analyser system, sampling shall continue until system response times have elapsed.The concentrations of the collecting bags, if used, shall be analysed as soon as possible and in any case not later than 20 minutes after the end of the test cycle.After the emission test, a zero gas and the same span gas shall be used for re-checking the analysers. The test will be considered acceptable if the difference between the pre-test and post-test results is less than 2 % of the span gas value.The particulate filters shall be returned to the weighing chamber no later than one hour after completion of the test. They shall be conditioned in a petri dish, which is protected against dust contamination and allows air exchange, for at least one hour, and then weighed. The gross weight of the filters shall be recorded.4.6.Verification of the test run4.6.1.Data shiftTo minimise the biasing effect of the time lag between the feedback and reference 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 must be shifted by the same amount in the same direction.4.6.2.Calculation of the cycle workThe actual cycle work Wact (kWh) shall be calculated using each pair of engine feedback speed and torque values recorded. The actual cycle work Wact is used for comparison to the reference cycle work Wref and for calculating the brake specific emissions. The same methodology shall be used for integrating both reference and actual engine power. If values are to be determined between adjacent reference or adjacent measured values, linear interpolation shall be used.In integrating the reference and actual cycle work, all negative torque values shall be set equal to zero and included. If integration is performed at a frequency of less than 5 Hertz, and if, during a given time segment, the torque value changes from positive to negative or negative to positive, the negative portion shall be computed and set equal to zero. The positive portion shall be included in the integrated value.Wact shall be between – 15 % and + 5 % of Wref.4.6.3.Validation statistics of the test cycleLinear regressions of the feedback values on the reference values shall be performed for speed, torque and power. This shall be done after any feedback data shift has occurred, if this option is selected. The method of least squares shall be used, with the best fit equation having the form:y = mx + bwhere:yfeedback (actual) value of speed (min-1), torque (N·m), or power (kW)mslope of the regression linexreference value of speed (min-1), torque (N·m), or power (kW)by intercept of the regression lineThe standard error of estimate (SE) of y on x and the coefficient of determination (r2) shall be calculated for each regression line.It is recommended that this analysis be performed at 1 Hertz. For a test to be considered valid, the criteria of Table 1 must be met.Table 1 —Regression line tolerances

For regression purposes only, point deletions are permitted where noted in Table 2 before doing the regression calculation. However, those points must not be deleted for the calculation of cycle work and emissions.

This provision shall apply to units which have to be detached in order to measure the power, such as with a blower where the blower (cooling) fan has to be disassembled to get access to the crankshaft.2.5.Lubricating oilLubricating oil that meets the engine manufacturer's specifications for a particular engine and intended usage shall be used. Manufacturers must use engine lubricants representative of commercially available engine lubricants.The specifications of the lubricating oil used for the test shall be recorded at section 1.2 of Annex VII, Appendix 2, for SI engines and presented with the results of the test.2.6.Adjustable carburettorsEngines with limited adjustable carburettors shall be tested at both extremes of the adjustment.2.7.Test fuelThe fuel shall be the reference fuel specified in Annex V.The octane number and the density of the reference fuel used for test shall be recorded at section 1.1.1 of Annex VII, Appendix 2, for SI engines.For two-stroke engines, the fuel/oil mixture ratio must be the ratio which shall be recommended by the manufacturer. The percentage of oil in the fuel/lubricant mixture feeding the two-stroke engines and the resulting density of the fuel shall be recorded at section 1.1.4 of Annex VII, Appendix 2, for SI engines.2.8.Determination of dynamometer settingsEmissions measurements shall be based on uncorrected brake power. Auxiliaries necessary only for the operation of the machine and which may be mounted on the engine shall be removed for the test. Where auxiliaries have not been removed, the power absorbed by them shall be determined in order to calculate the dynamometer settings except for engines where such auxiliaries form an integral part of the engine (e.g. cooling fans for air cooled engines).The settings of inlet restriction and exhaust pipe backpressure shall be adjusted, for engines where it shall be possible to perform such an adjustment, to the manufacturer's upper limits, in accordance with sections 2.2 and 2.3. The maximum torque values at the specified test speeds shall be determined by experimentation in order to calculate the torque values for the specified test modes. For engines which are not designed to operate over a speed range on a full load torque curve, the maximum torque at the test speeds shall be declared by the manufacturer. The engine setting for each test mode shall be calculated using the formula:where:S is the dynamometer setting [kW],PM is the maximum observed or declared power at the test speed under the test conditions (see Appendix 2 of Annex VII) [kW],PAE is the declared total power absorbed by any auxiliary fitted for the test [kW] and not required by Appendix 3 of Annex VII,L is the percent torque specified for the test mode.If the ratiothe value of PAE may be verified by the technical authority granting type-approval.3.TEST RUN3.1.Installation of the measuring equipmentThe instrumentation and sampling probes shall be installed as required. When using a full flow dilution system for exhaust gas dilution, the tailpipe shall be connected to the system.3.2.Starting the dilution system and engineThe dilution system and the engine shall be started and warmed up until all temperatures and pressures have stabilised at full load and rated speed (section 3.5.2).3.3.Adjustment of the dilution ratioThe total dilution ratio shall not be less than four.For CO2 or NOx concentration controlled systems, the CO2 or NOx content of the dilution air must be measured at the beginning and at the end of each test. The pre- and post-test background CO2 or NOx concentration measurements of the dilution air must be within 100 ppm or 5 ppm of each other, respectively.When using a dilute exhaust gas analysis system, the relevant background concentrations shall be determined by sampling dilution air into a sampling bag over the complete test sequence.Continuous (non-bag) background concentration may be taken at the minimum of three points, at the beginning, at the end, and a point near the middle of the cycle and averaged. At the manufacturer's request background measurements may be omitted.3.4.Checking the analysersThe emission analysers shall be set at zero and spanned.3.5.Test cycle3.5.1.Specification (c) of machinery according to section 1A(iii) of Annex I.The following test cycles shall be followed in dynamometer operation on the test engine according to the given type of machinery:cycle DIdentical with D2 cycle of the ISO 8168-4: 1996(E) standard.engines with constant speed and intermittent load such as generating sets;cycle G1non-hand-held intermediate speed applications;cycle G2non-hand-held rated speed applications;cycle G3hand-held applications.3.5.1.1.Test modes and weighting factorsThe load figures are percentage values of the torque corresponding to the prime power rating defined as the maximum power available during a variable power sequence, which may be run for an unlimited number of hours per year, between stated maintenance intervals and under the stated ambient conditions, the maintenance being carried out as prescribed by the manufacturer. For a better illustration of the prime power definition, see figure 2 of ISO 8528-1: 1993(E) standard.For stage I, 0,90 and 0,10 may be used instead of 0,85 and 0,15 respectively.

3.5.1.2.Choosing an appropriate test cycleIf the primary end use of an engine model is known then the test cycle may be chosen based on the examples given in section 3.5.1.3. If the primary end use of an engine is uncertain then the appropriate test cycle should be chosen based upon the engine specification.3.5.1.3.Examples (the list is not exhaustive)Typical examples are for:cycle D:generating sets with intermittent load including generating sets on board ships and trains (not for propulsion), refrigerating units, welding sets;gas compressors;cycle G1:front or rear engines riding lawn mowers;golf carts;lawn sweepers;pedestrian-controlled rotary or cylinder lawn mowers;snow-removal equipment;waste disposers;cycle G2:portable generators, pumps, welders and air compressors;may also include lawn and garden equipment, which operate at engine rated speed;cycle G3:blowers;chain saws;hedge trimmers;portable saw mills;rotary tillers;sprayers;string trimmers;vacuum equipment.
3.5.2.Conditioning of the engineWarming up of the engine and the system shall be at maximum speed and torque in order to stabilise the engine parameters according to the recommendations of the manufacturer.Note: The conditioning period should also prevent the influence of deposits from a former test in the exhaust system. There is also a required period of stabilisation between test points which has been included to minimise point to point influences.3.5.3.Test sequenceTest cycles G1, G2 or G3 shall be performed in ascending order of mode number of the cycle in question. Each mode sampling time shall be at least 180 s. The exhaust emission concentration values shall be measured and recorded for the last 120 s of the respective sampling time. For each measuring point, the mode length shall be of sufficient duration to achieve thermal stability of the engine prior to the start of sampling. The mode length shall be recorded and reported.(a)For engines tested with the dynamometer speed control test configuration: During each mode of the test cycle after the initial transition period, the specified speed shall be held to within ± 1 % of rated speed or ± 3 min-1 whichever is greater except for low idle which shall be within the tolerances declared by the manufacturer. The specified torque shall be held so that the average over the period during which the measurements are being taken is within ± 2 % of the maximum torque at the test speed.(b)For engines tested with the dynamometer load control test configuration: During each mode of the test cycle after the initial transition period, the specified speed shall be within ± 2 % of rated speed or ± 3 min-1 whichever is greater, but shall in any case be held within ± 5 %, except for low idle which shall be within the tolerances declared by the manufacturer.During each mode of the test cycle where the prescribed torque is 50 % or greater of the maximum torque at the test speed the specified average torque over the data acquisition period shall be held within ± 5 % of the prescribed torque. During modes of the test cycle where the prescribed torque is less than 50 % of the maximum torque at the test speed the specified average torque over the data acquisition period shall be held within ± 10 % of the prescribed torque or ± 0,5 Nm whichever is greater.3.5.4.Analyser responseThe output of the analysers shall be recorded on a strip chart recorder or measured with an equivalent data acquisition system with the exhaust gas flowing through the analysers at least during the last 180 s of each mode. If bag sampling is applied for the diluted CO and CO2 measurement (see Appendix 1, section 1.4.4), a sample shall be bagged during the last 180 s of each mode, and the bag sample analysed and recorded.3.5.5.Engine conditionsThe engine speed and load, intake air temperature and fuel flow shall be measured for each mode once the engine has been stabilised. Any additional data required for calculation shall be recorded (see Appendix 3, sections 1.1 and 1.2).
3.6.Rechecking the analysersAfter the emission test a zero gas and the same span gas shall be used for re-checking. The test shall be considered acceptable if the difference between the two measuring results is less than 2 %.
ANNEX VTECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF REFERENCE FUEL PRESCRIBED FOR APPROVAL TESTS AND TO VERIFY CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTIONNON-ROAD MOBILE MACHINERY REFERENCE FUEL FOR CI ENGINES TYPE APPROVED TO MEET STAGE I and II LIMIT VALUES AND FOR ENGINES TO BE USED IN INLAND WATERWAY VESSELSNote: Key properties for engine performance/exhaust emissions are highlighted.
Note 1:If it is required to calculate thermal efficiency of an engine or vehicle, the calorific value of the fuel can be calculated from:where:d is the density at 288 K (15 oC)x is the proportion by mass of water (%/100)y is the proportion by mass of ash (%/100)s is the proportion by mass of sulphur (%/100).Note 2:The values quoted in the specification are "true values". In establishment of their limit values the terms of ASTM D 3244 "Defining a basis for petroleum produce quality disputes" have been applied and in fixing a minimum value, a minimum difference of 2R above zero has been taken into account; in fixing a maximum and minimum value, the minimum difference is 4R (R = reproducibility).Notwithstanding this measure, which is necessary for statistical reasons, the manufacturer of fuel should nevertheless aim at a zero value where the stipulated maximum value is 2R and the mean value in the case of quotations of maximum and minimum limits.

1.1.Determination of the gaseous emissionsSection 1.1.1 and Figures 2 and 3 contain detailed descriptions of the recommended sampling and analysing systems. Since various configurations can produce equivalent results, exact conformance with these figures is not required. Additional components such as instruments, valves, solenoids, pumps and switches may be used to provide additional information and coordinate the functions of the component systems. Other components which are not needed to maintain the accuracy on some systems, may be excluded if their exclusion is based upon good engineering judgement.1.1.1.Gaseous exhaust components CO, CO2, HC, NOxAn analytical system for the determination of the gaseous emissions in the raw or diluted exhaust gas is described based on the use of:HFID analyser for the measurement of hydrocarbons,NDIR analysers for the measurement of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide,HCLD or equivalent analyser for the measurement of nitrogen oxide.For the raw exhaust gas (Figure 2), the sample for all components may be taken with one sampling probe or with two sampling probes located in close proximity and internally split to the different analysers. Care must be taken that no condensation of exhaust components (including water and sulphuric acid) occurs at any point of the analytical system.For the diluted exhaust gas (Figure 3), the sample for the hydrocarbons shall be taken with another sampling probe than the sample for the other components. Care must be taken that no condensation of exhaust components (including water and sulphuric acid) occurs at any point of the analytical system.Figure 2Flow diagram of exhaust gas analysis system for CO, NOx and HCFigure 3Flow diagram of dilute exhaust gas analysis system for CO, CO2, NOx and HCDescriptions — Figures 2 and 3General statement:All components in the sampling gas path must be maintained at the temperature specified for the respective systems.SP1 raw exhaust gas sampling probe (Figure 2 only)A stainless steel straight closed and multihole probe is recommended. The inside diameter shall not be greater than the inside diameter of the sampling line. The wall thickness of the probe shall not be greater than 1 mm. There shall be a minimum of three holes in three different radial planes sized to sample approximately the same flow. The probe must extend across at least 80 % of the diameter of the exhaust pipe.SP2 dilute exhaust gas HC sampling probe (Figure 3 only)The probe shall:be defined as the first 254 mm to 762 mm of the hydrocarbon sampling line (HSL3),have a 5 mm minimum inside diameter,be installed in the dilution tunnel DT (section 1.2.1.2) at a point where the dilution air and exhaust gas are well mixed (i.e. approximately 10 tunnel diameters downstream of the point where the exhaust enters the dilution tunnel),be sufficiently distant (radially) from other probes and the tunnel wall so as to be free from the influence of any wakes or eddies,be heated so as to increase the gas stream temperature to 463 K (190 °C) ± 10 K at the exit of the probe.SP3 dilute exhaust gas CO, CO2, NOx sampling probe (Figure 3 only)The probe shall:be in the same plane as SP2,be sufficiently distant (radially) from other probes and the tunnel wall so as to be free from the influence of any wakes or eddies,be heated and insulated over its entire length to a minimum temperature of 328 K (55 °C) to prevent water condensation.HSL1 heated sampling lineThe sampling line provides gas sampling from a single probe to the split point(s) and the HC analyser.The sampling line shall:have a 5 mm minimum and a 13,5 mm maximum inside diameter,be made of stainless steel or PTFE,maintain a wall temperature of 463 (190 °C) ± 10 K as measured at every separately controlled heated section, if the temperature of the exhaust gas at the sampling probe is equal or below 463 K (190 °C),maintain a wall temperature greater than 453 K (180 °C) if the temperature of the exhaust gas at the sampling probe is above 463 K (190 °C),maintain a gas temperature of 463 K (190 °C) ± 10 K immediately before the heated filter (F2) and the HFID.HSL2 heated NOx sampling lineThe sampling line shall:maintain a wall temperature of 328 to 473 K (55 to 200 °C) up to the converter when using a cooling bath, and up to the analyser when a cooling bath is not used,be made of stainless steel or PTFE.Since the sampling line need only be heated to prevent condensation of water and sulphuric acid, the sampling line temperature will depend on the sulphur content of the fuel.SL sampling line for CO (CO2)The line shall be made of PTFE or stainless steel.

Since various configurations can produce equivalent results, exact conformance with these figures is not required. Additional components such as instruments, valve, solenoids, pumps and switches may be used to provide additional information and coordinate the functions of the component systems. Other components which are not needed to maintain the accuracy on some systems, may be excluded if their exclusion is based on good engineering judgement.1.2.1.Dilution system1.2.1.1.Partial flow dilution system (Figures 4 to 12)Figures 4 to 12 show many types of partial flow dilution systems, which normally can be used for the steady-state test (NRSC). But, because of very severe constraints of the transient tests, only those partial flow dilution systems (Figures 4 to 12) able to fulfill all the requirements quoted in the section "Partial flow dilution system specifications" of Annex III, Appendix 1, Section 2.4, are accepted for the transient test (NRTC).A dilution system is described based on the dilution of a part of the exhaust stream. Splitting of the exhaust stream and the following dilution process may be done by different dilution system types. For subsequent collection of the particulates, the entire dilute exhaust gas or only a portion of the dilute exhaust gas may be passed to the particulate sampling system (section 1.2.2, Figure 14). The first method is referred to as total sampling type, the second method as fractional sampling type.The calculation of the dilution ratio depends on the type of system used.The following types are recommended:isokinetic systems (Figures 4 and 5)With these systems, the flow into the transfer tube is matched to the bulk exhaust flow in terms of gas velocity and/or pressure, thus requiring an undisturbed and uniform exhaust flow at the sampling probe. This is usually achieved by using a resonator and a straight approach tube upstream of the sampling point. The split ratio is then calculated from easily measurable values like tube diameters. It should be noted that isokinesis is only used for matching the flow conditions and not for matching the size distribution. The latter is typically not necessary, as the particles are sufficiently small as to follow the fluid streamlines,flow controlled systems with concentration measurement (Figures 6 to 10)With these systems, a sample is taken from the bulk exhaust stream by adjusting the dilution air flow and the total dilution exhaust flow. The dilution ratio is determined from the concentrations of tracer gases, such as CO2 or NOx, naturally occurring in the engine exhaust. The concentrations in the dilution exhaust gas and in the dilution air are measured, whereas the concentration in the raw exhaust gas can be either measured directly or determined from fuel flow and the carbon balance equation, if the fuel composition is known. The systems may be controlled by the calculated dilution ratio (Figures 6 and 7) or by the flow into the transfer tube (Figures 8, 9 and 10),flow controlled systems with flow measurement (Figures 11 and 12)With these systems, a sample is taken from the bulk exhaust stream by setting the dilution air flow and the total dilution exhaust flow. The dilution ratio is determined from the difference of the two flow rates. Accurate calibration of the flow meters relative to one another is required, since the relative magnitude of the two flow rates can lead to significant errors at higher dilution ratios. Flow control is very straightforward by keeping the dilute exhaust flow rate constant and varying the dilution air flow rate, if needed.In order to realise the advantages of the partial flow dilution systems, attention must be paid to avoiding the potential problems of loss of particulates in the transfer tube, ensuring that a representative sample is taken from the engine exhaust, and determination of the split ratio.The systems described pay attention to these critical areas.Figure 4Partial flow dilution system with isokinetic probe and fractional sampling (SB control)Figure 5Partial flow dilution system with isokinetic probe and fractional sampling (PB control)Figure 6Partial flow dilution system with CO2 or NOx concentration measurement and fractional samplingFigure 7Partial flow dilution system with CO2 concentration measurement, carbon balance and total samplingFigure 8Partial flow dilution system with single venturi, concentration measurement and fractional samplingFigure 9Partial flow dilution system twin venturi or twin orifice, concentration measurement and fractional samplingFigure 10Partial flow dilution system with multiple tube splitting, concentration measurement and fractional samplingFigure 11Partial flow dilution system with flow control and total samplingFigure 12Partial flow dilution system with flow control and fractional samplingDescription - Figures 4 to 12EP exhaust pipeThe exhaust pipe may be insulated. To reduce the thermal inertia of the exhaust pipe a thickness to diameter ratio of 0,015 or less is recommended. The use of flexible sections shall be limited to a length to diameter ratio of 12 or less. Bends will be minimised to reduce inertial deposition. If the system includes a test bed silencer, the silencer may also be insulated.For an isokinetic system, the exhaust pipe must be free of elbows, bends and sudden diameter changes for at least six pipe diameters upstream and three pipe diameters downstream of the tip of the probe. The gas velocity at the sampling zone must be higher than 10 m/s except at idle mode. Pressure oscillations of the exhaust gas must not exceed ± 500 Pa on the average. Any steps to reduce pressure oscillations beyond using a chassis-type exhaust system (including silencer and after-treatment device) must not alter engine performance nor cause the deposition of particulates.For systems without isokinetic probes, it is recommended to have a straight pipe of six pipe diameters upstream and three pipe diameters downstream of the tip of the probe.SP sampling probe (Figures 6 to 12)The minimum inside diameter shall be 4 mm. The minimum diameter ratio between exhaust pipe and probe shall be four. The probe shall be an open tube facing upstream on the exhaust pipe centre-line, or a multiple hole probe as described under SP1 in section 1.1.1.ISP isokinetic sampling probe (Figures 4 and 5)The isokinetic sampling probe must be installed facing upstream on the exhaust pipe centre-line where the flow conditions in section EP are met, and designed to provide a proportional sample of the raw exhaust gas. The minimum inside diameter shall be 12 mm.A control system is necessary for isokinetic exhaust splitting by maintaining a differential pressure of zero between EP and ISP. Under these conditions exhaust gas velocities in EP and ISP are identical and the mass flow through ISP is a constant fraction of the exhaust gas flow. The ISP has to be connected to a differential pressure transducer. The control to provide a differential pressure of zero between EP and ISP is done with blower speed or flow controller.FD1, FD2 flow divider (Figure 9)A set of venturis or orifices is installed in the exhaust pipe EP and in the transfer tube TT, respectively, to provide a proportional sample of the raw exhaust gas. A control system consisting of two pressure control valves PCV1 and PCV2 is necessary for proportional splitting by controlling the pressures in EP and DT.FD3 flow divider (Figure 10)A set of tubes (multiple tube unit) is installed in the exhaust pipe EP to provide a proportional sample of the raw exhaust gas. One of the tubes feeds exhaust gas to the dilution tunnel DT, whereas the other tubes exit exhaust gas to a damping chamber DC. The tubes must have the same dimensions (same diameter, length, bend radius), so that the exhaust split depends on the total number of tubes. A control system is necessary for proportional splitting by maintaining a differential pressure of zero between the exit of the multiple tube unit into DC and the exit of TT. Under these conditions, exhaust gas velocities in EP and FD3 are proportional, and the flow TT is a constant fraction of the exhaust gas flow. The two points have to be connected to a differential pressure transducer DPT. The control to provide a differential pressure of zero is done with the flow controller FC1.EGA exhaust gas analyser (Figures 6 to 10)CO2 or NOx analysers may be used (with carbon balance method CO2 only). The analysers shall be calibrated like the analysers for the measurement of the gaseous emissions. One or several analysers may be used to determine the concentration differences.The accuracy of the measuring systems has to be such that the accuracy of GEDFW, i is within ± 4 %.TT transfer tube (Figures 4 to 12)The particulate sample transfer tube shall be:as short as possible, but not more than 5 m in length,equal to or greater than the probe diameter, but not more than 25 mm in diameter,exiting on the centre-line of the dilution tunnel and pointing downstream.If the tube is 1 metre or less in length, it is to be insulated with material with a maximum thermal conductivity of 0,05 W/(m · K) with a radial insulation thickness corresponding to the diameter of the probe. If the tube is longer than 1 metre, it must be insulated and heated to a minimum wall temperature of 523 K (250 °C).Alternatively, the transfer tube wall temperatures required may be determined through standard heat transfer calculations.DPT differential pressure transducer (Figures 4, 5 and 10)The differential pressure transducer shall have a range of ± 500 Pa or less.FC1 flow controller (Figures 4, 5 and 10)For the isokinetic systems (Figures 4 and 5) a flow controller is necessary to maintain a differential pressure of zero between EP and ISP. The adjustment can be done by:(a)controlling the speed or flow of the suction blower (SB) and keeping the speed of the pressure blower (PB) constant during each mode (Figure 4); or(b)adjusting the suction blower (SB) to a constant mass flow of the diluted exhaust and controlling the flow of the pressure blower PB, and therefore the exhaust sample flow in a region at the end of the transfer tube (TT) (Figure 5).In the case of a pressure controlled system the remaining error in the control loop must not exceed ± 3 Pa. The pressure oscillations in the dilution tunnel must not exceed ± 250 Pa on average.For a multi-tube system (Figure 10) a flow controller is necessary for proportional exhaust splitting to maintain a differential pressure of zero between the outlet of the multi-tube unit and the exit of TT. The adjustment can be done by controlling the injection air flow rate into DT at the exit of TT.PCV1, PCV2 pressure control valve (Figure 9)Two pressure control valves are necessary for the twin venturi/twin orifice system for proportional flow splitting by controlling the backpressure of EP and the pressure in DT. The valves shall be located downstream of SP in EP and between PB and DT.DC damping chamber (Figure 10)A damping chamber shall be installed at the exit of the multiple tube unit to minimise the pressure oscillations in the exhaust pipe EP.VN venturi (Figure 8)A venturi is installed in the dilution tunnel DT to create a negative pressure in the region of the exit of the transfer tube TT. The gas flow rate through TT is determined by the momentum exchange at the venturi zone, and is basically proportional to the flow rate of the pressure blower PB leading to a constant dilution ratio. Since the momentum exchange is affected by the temperature at the exit of TT and the pressure difference between EP and DT, the actual dilution ratio is slightly lower at low load than at high load.FC2 flow controller (Figures 6, 7, 11 and 12; optional)A flow controller may be used to control the flow of the pressure blower PB and/or the suction blower SB. It may be connected to the exhaust flow or fuel flow signal and/or to the CO2 or NOx differential signal.When using a pressurised air supply (Figure 11) FC2 directly controls the air flow.FM1 flow measurement device (Figures 6, 7, 11 and 12)Gas meter or other flow instrumentation to measure the dilution air flow. FM1 is optional if PB is calibrated to measure the flow.FM2 flow measurement device (Figure 12)Gas meter or other flow instrumentation to measure the diluted exhaust gas flow. FM2 is optional if the suction blower SB is calibrated to measure the flow.PB pressure blower (Figures 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12)To control the dilution air flow rate, PB may be connected to the flow controllers FC1 or FC2. PB is not required when using a butterfly valve. PB may be used to measure the dilution air flow, if calibrated.SB suction blower (Figures 4, 5, 6, 9, 10 and 12)For fractional sampling systems only. SB may be used to measure the dilute exhaust gas flow, if calibrated.DAF dilution air filter (Figures 4 to 12)It is recommended that the dilution air be filtered and charcoal scrubbed to eliminate background hydrocarbons. The dilution air shall have a temperature of 298 K (25 °C) ± 5 K.At the manufacturer's request the dilution air shall be sampled according to good engineering practice to determine the background particulate levels, which can then be subtracted from the values measured in the diluted exhaust.PSP particulate sampling probe (Figures 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 12)The probe is the leading section of PTT andshall be installed facing upstream at a point where the dilution air and exhaust gas are well mixed, i.e. on the dilution tunnel DT centre-line of the dilution systems approximately 10 tunnel diameters downstream of the point where the exhaust enters the dilution tunnel,shall be 12 mm in minimum inside diameter,may be heated to no greater than 325 K (52 °C) wall temperature by direct heating or by dilution air pre-heating, provided the air temperature does not exceed 325 K (52 °C) prior to the introduction of the exhaust in the dilution tunnel,may be insulated.DT dilution tunnel (Figures 4 to 12)The dilution tunnel:shall be of a sufficient length to cause complete mixing of the exhaust and dilution air under turbulent flow conditions,shall be constructed of stainless steel with:a thickness to diameter ratio of 0,025 or less for dilution tunnels of greater than 75 mm inside diameter,a nominal wall thickness of not less than 1,5 mm for dilution tunnels of equal to or less than 75 mm inside diameter,shall be at least 75 mm in diameter for the fractional sampling type,is recommended to be at least 25 mm in diameter for the total sampling type,may be heated to no greater than 325 K (52 °C) wall temperature by direct heating or by dilution air pre-heating, provided the air temperature does not exceed 325 K (52 °C) prior to the introduction of the exhaust in the dilution tunnel,may be insulated.The engine exhaust shall be thoroughly mixed with the dilution air. For fractional sampling systems, the mixing quality shall be checked after introduction into service by means of a CO2 profile of the tunnel with the engine running (at least four equally spaced measuring points). If necessary, a mixing orifice may be used.Note: If the ambient temperature in the vicinity of the dilution tunnel (DT) is below 293 K (20 °C), precautions should be taken to avoid particle losses onto the cool walls of the dilution tunnel. Therefore, heating and/or insulating the tunnel within the limits given above is recommended.At high engine loads, the tunnel may be cooled by a non-aggressive means such as a circulating fan, as long as the temperature of the cooling medium is not below 293 K (20 °C).HE heat exchanger (Figures 9 and 10)The heat exchanger shall be of sufficient capacity to maintain the temperature at the inlet to the suction blower SB within ± 11 K of the average operating temperature observed during the test.1.2.1.2.Full flow dilution system (Figure 13)A dilution system is described based upon the dilution of the total exhaust using the constant volume sampling (CVS) concept. The total volume of the mixture of exhaust and dilution air must be measured. Either a PDP or a CFV or a SSV system may be used.For subsequent collection of the particulates, a sample of the dilute exhaust gas is passed to the particulate sampling system (section 1.2.2, Figures 14 and 15). If this is done directly, it is referred to as single dilution. If the sample is diluted once more in the secondary dilution tunnel, it is referred to as double dilution. This is useful, if the filter face temperature requirement cannot be met with single dilution. Although partly a dilution system, the double dilution system is described as a modification of a particulate sampling system in section 1.2.2, (Figure 15), since it shares most of the parts with a typical particulate sampling system.The gaseous emissions may also be determined in the dilution tunnel of a full flow dilution system. Therefore, the sampling probes for the gaseous components are shown in Figure 13 but do not appear in the description list. The respective requirements are described in section 1.1.1.Descriptions (Figure 13)EP exhaust pipeThe exhaust pipe length from the exit of the engine exhaust manifold, turbocharger outlet or after-treatment device to the dilution tunnel is required to be not more than 10 m. If the system exceeds 4 m in length, then all tubing in excess of 4 m shall be insulated, except for an in-line smoke-meter, if used. The radial thickness of the insulation must be at least 25 mm. The thermal conductivity of the insulating material must have a value no greater than 0,1 W/(m · K) measured at 673 K (400 °C). To reduce the thermal inertia of the exhaust pipe a thickness to diameter ratio of 0,015 or less is recommended. The use of flexible sections shall be limited to a length to diameter ratio of 12 or less.Figure 13Full flow dilution systemThe total amount of raw exhaust gas is mixed in the dilution tunnel DT with the dilution air. The diluted exhaust gas flow rate is measured either with a positive displacement pump PDP or with a critical flow venturi CFV or with a sub-sonic venturi SSV. A heat exchanger HE or electronic flow compensation EFC may be used for proportional particulate sampling and for flow determination. Since particulate mass determination is based on the total diluted exhaust gas flow, the dilution ratio is not required to be calculated.PDP positive displacement pumpThe PDP meters total diluted exhaust flow from the number of the pump revolutions and the pump displacement. The exhaust system back pressure must not be artificially lowered by the PDP or dilution air inlet system. Static exhaust back pressure measured with the CVS system operating shall remain within ± 1,5 kPa of the static pressure measured without connection to the CVS at identical engine speed and load.The gas mixture temperature immediately ahead of the PDP shall be within ± 6 K of the average operating temperature observed during the test, when no flow compensation is used.Flow compensation can only be used if the temperature at the inlet of the PDP does not exceed 50 °C (323 K).CFV critical flow venturiCFV measures total diluted exhaust flow by maintaining the flow at choked conditions (critical flow). Static exhaust backpressure measured with the CFV system operating shall remain within ± 1,5 kPa of the static pressure measured without connection to the CFV at identical engine speed and load. The gas mixture temperature immediately ahead of the CFV shall be within ± 11 K of the average operating temperature observed during the test, when no flow compensation is used.SSV subsonic venturiSSV measures total diluted exhaust flow as a function of inlet pressure, inlet temperature, pressure drop between the SSV inlet and throat. Static exhaust backpressure measured with the SSV system operating shall remain within ± 1,5 kPa of the static pressure measured without connection to the SSV at identical engine speed and load. The gas mixture temperature immediately ahead of the SSV shall be within ± 11 K of the average operating temperature observed during the test, when no flow compensation is used.HE heat exchanger (optional if EFC is used)The heat exchanger shall be of sufficient capacity to maintain the temperature within the limits required above.EFC electronic flow compensation (optional if HE is used)If the temperature at the inlet to either the PDP or CFV or SSV is not kept within the limits stated above, a flow compensation system is required for continuous measurement of the flow rate and control of the proportional sampling in the particulate system. To that purpose, the continuously measured flow rate signals are used to correct the sample flow rate through the particulate filters of the particulate sampling system (Figures 14 and 15), accordingly.DT dilution tunnelThe dilution tunnel:shall be small enough in diameter to cause turbulent flow (Reynolds number greater than 4000) of sufficient length to cause complete mixing of the exhaust and dilution air. A mixing orifice may be used,shall be at least 75 mm in diameter,may be insulated.The engine exhaust shall be directed downstream at the point where it is introduced into the dilution tunnel, and thoroughly mixed.When using single dilution, a sample from the dilution tunnel is transferred to the particulate sampling system (section 1.2.2, Figure 14). The flow capacity of the PDP or CFV or SSV must be sufficient to maintain the diluted exhaust at a temperature of less than or equal to 325 K (52 °C) immediately before the primary particulate filter.When using double dilution, a sample from the dilution tunnel is transferred to the secondary dilution tunnel where it is further diluted, and then passed through the sampling filters (section 1.2.2, Figure 15). The flow capacity of the PDP or CFV or SSV must be sufficient to maintain the diluted exhaust stream in the DT at a temperature of less than or equal to 464 K (191 °C) at the sampling zone. The secondary dilution system must provide sufficient secondary dilution air to maintain the doubly-diluted exhaust stream at a temperature of less than or equal to 325 K (52 °C) immediately before the primary particulate filter.DAF dilution air filterIt is recommended that the dilution air be filtered and charcoal scrubbed to eliminate background hydrocarbons. The dilution air shall have a temperature of 298 K (25 °C) ± 5 K. At the manufacturer's request the dilution air shall be sampled according to good engineering practice to determine the background particulate levels, which can then be subtracted from the values measured in the diluted exhaust.PSP particulate sampling probeThe probe is the leading section of PTT andshall be installed facing upstream at a point where the dilution air and exhaust gas are well mixed, i.e. on the dilution tunnel DT centre-line of the dilution systems approximately 10 tunnel diameters downstream of the point where the exhaust enters the dilution tunnel,shall be 12 mm in minimum inside diameter,may be heated to no greater than 325 K (52 °C) wall temperature by direct heating or by dilution air pre-heating, provided the air temperature does not exceed 325 K (52 °C) prior to the introduction of the exhaust in the dilution tunnel,may be insulated.1.2.2.Particulate sampling system (Figures 14 and 15)The particulate sampling system is required for collecting the particulates on the particulate filter. In the case of total sampling partial flow dilution, which consists of passing the entire dilute exhaust sample through the filters, dilution (section 1.2.1.1, Figures 7 and 11) and sampling system usually form an integral unit. In the case of fractional sampling partial flow dilution or full flow dilution, which consists of passing through the filters only a portion of the diluted exhaust, the dilution (section 1.2.1.1, Figures 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 12 and section 1.2.1.2, Figure 13) and sampling systems usually form different units.In this Directive, the double dilution system DDS (Figure 15) of a full flow dilution system is considered as a specific modification of a typical particulate sampling system as shown in Figure 14. The double dilution system includes all important parts of the particulate sampling system, like filter holders and sampling pump, and additionally some dilution features, like a dilution air supply and a secondary dilution tunnel.In order to avoid any impact on the control loops, it is recommended that the sample pump be running throughout the complete test procedure. For the single filter method, a bypass system shall be used for passing the sample through the sampling filters at the desired times. Interference of the switching procedure on the control loops must be minimised.Descriptions - Figures 14 and 15PSP particulate sampling probe (Figures 14 and 15)The particulate sampling probe shown in the figures is the leading section of the particulate transfer tube PTT. The probe:shall be installed facing upstream at a point where the dilution air and exhaust gas are well mixed, i.e. on the dilution tunnel DT centre-line of the dilution systems (section 1.2.1), approximately 10 tunnel diameters downstream of the point where the exhaust enters the dilution tunnel),shall be 12 mm in minimum inside diameter,may be heated to no greater than 325 K (52 °C) wall temperature by direct heating or by dilution air pre-heating, provided the air temperature does not exceed 325 K (52 °C) prior to the introduction of the exhaust in the dilution tunnel,may be insulated.Figure 14Particulate sampling systemFigure 15Dilution system (full flow system only)A sample of the diluted exhaust gas is transferred from the dilution tunnel DT of a full flow dilution system through the particulate sampling probe PSP and the particulate transfer tube PTT to the secondary dilution tunnel SDT, where it is diluted once more. The sample is then passed through the filter holder(s) FH that contain the particulate sampling filters. The dilution air flow rate is usually constant whereas the sample flow rate is controlled by the flow controller FC3. If electronic flow compensation EFC (Figure 13) is used, the total diluted exhaust gas flow is used as command signal for FC3.PTT particulate transfer tube (Figures 14 and 15)The particulate transfer tube must not exceed 1020 mm in length, and must be minimised in length whenever possible.The dimensions are valid for:the partial flow dilution fractional sampling type and the full flow single dilution system from the probe tip to the filter holder,the partial flow dilution total sampling type from the end of the dilution tunnel to the filter holder,the full flow double dilution system from the probe tip to the secondary dilution tunnel.The transfer tube:may be heated to no greater than 325 K (52 °C) wall temperature by direct heating or by dilution air pre-heating, provided the air temperature does not exceed 325 K (52 °C) prior to the introduction of the exhaust in the dilution tunnel,may be insulated.SDT secondary dilution tunnel (Figure 15)The secondary dilution tunnel should have a minimum diameter of 75 mm and should be sufficient length so as to provide a residence time of at least 0,25 seconds for the doubly-diluted sample. The primary filter holder, FH, shall be located within 300 mm of the exit of the SDT.The secondary dilution tunnel:may be heated to no greater than 325 K (52 °C) wall temperature by direct heating or by dilution air pre-heating, provided the air temperature does not exceed 325 K (52 °C) prior to the introduction of the exhaust in the dilution tunnel,may be insulated.FH filter holder(s) (Figures 14 and 15)For primary and back-up filters one filter housing or separate filter housings may be used. The requirements of Annex III, Appendix 1, section 1.5.1.3 have to be met.The filter holder(s):may be heated to no greater than 325 K (52 °C) wall temperature by direct heating or by dilution air pre-heating, provided the air temperature does not exceed 325 K (52 °C),may be insulated.P sampling pump (Figures 14 and 15)The particulate sampling pump shall be located sufficiently distant from the tunnel so that the inlet gas temperature is maintained constant (± 3 K), if flow correction by FC3 is not used.DP dilution air pump (Figure 15) (full flow double dilution only)The dilution air pump shall be located so that the secondary dilution air is supplied at a temperature of 298 K (25 °C) ± 5 K.FC3 flow controller (Figures 14 and 15)A flow controller shall be used to compensate the particulate sample flow rate for temperature and backpressure variations in the sample path, if no other means are available. The flow controller is required if electronic flow compensation EFC (Figure 13) is used.FM3 flow measurement device (Figures 14 and 15) (particulate sample flow)The gas meter or flow instrumentation shall be located sufficiently distant from the sample pump so that the inlet gas temperature remains constant (± 3 K), if flow correction by FC3 is not used.FM4 flow measurement device (Figure 15) (dilution air, full flow double dilution only)The gas meter or flow instrumentation shall be located so that the inlet gas temperature remains at 298 K (25 °C) ± 5 K.BV ball valve (optional)The ball valve shall have a diameter not less than the inside diameter of the sampling tube and a switching time of less than 0,5 seconds.Note: If the ambient temperature in the vicinity of PSP, PTT, SDT, and FH is below 239 K (20 °C), precautions should be taken to avoid particle losses onto the cool wall of these parts. Therefore, heating and/or insulating these parts within the limits given in the respective descriptions is recommended. It is also recommended that the filter face temperature during sampling be not below 293 K (20 °C).At high engine loads, the above parts may be cooled by a non-aggressive means such as a circulating fan, as long as the temperature of the cooling medium is not below 293 K (20 °C).
