3.7.   The engine speed during a run or reading shall not deviate from the selected speed by more than ± 1 per cent or ± 10 min, whichever is greater.

3.8.   Observed brake load, fuel consumption and inlet air temperature data shall be taken simultaneously and shall be the average of two stabilised consecutive values which do not vary more than 2 per cent for the brake load.

3.9.   The temperature of the coolant at the outlet from the engine shall be kept at the value specified by the manufacturer.

If no temperature is specified by the manufacturer, the temperature shall be 353 K ± 5 K. For air-cooled engines, the temperature at a point indicated by the manufacturer shall be kept within + 0/– 20 K of the maximum value specified by the manufacturer in the reference conditions.

3.10.   For C.I. engines, the fuel temperature shall be measured at the inlet of the fuel injection pump and maintained within 306-316 K (33-43 °C) for positive-ignition engines the fuel temperature shall be measured as near as possible to the inlet of the carburettor or assembly of fuel injectors and maintained within 293-303 K (20-30 °C).

3.11.   The temperature of the lubricating oil measured in the oil pump or at the outlet from the coil cooler, if fitted, shall be maintained within the limits established by the engine manufacturer.

4.6.   Barometric pressure: ± 100 Pa.

4.7.   Depression in inlet system: ± 50 Pa.

4.8.   Back-pressure in exhaust system: ± 200 Pa.

5.   Power correction factors

5.1.   Definition

The power correction factor is the coefficient to determine the engine power under the reference atmospheric conditions specified in 5.2 below.

Po = α P

Where:

Po

is the corrected power (i.e. power under reference atmospheric conditions)

α

is the correction factor (αa or αd)

P

is the measured power (test power)

5.2.   Reference atmospheric conditions

5.2.1.   Temperature (To): 298 K (25 °C)

5.2.2.   Dry pressure (Pso): 99 kPa

The dry pressure is based on a total pressure of 100 kPa and a water vapour pressure of 1 kPa.

5.3.   Test atmospheric conditions

The atmospheric conditions during the test shall be the following:

5.3.1.   Temperature (T)

For positive-ignition engines

:

288 K ≤ T ≤ 308 K

For compression-ignition engines

:

283 K ≤ T ≤ 313 K

5.3.2.   Pressure (ps)

90 kPa < ps < 110 kPa

5.4.   Determination of correction factor αa and αd (1)

5.4.1.   Naturally aspirated or pressure-charged positive-ignition engine

The correction factor αa is obtained by applying the formula:

Formula

Where:

ps

is the total dry atmospheric pressure in kilopascals (kPa); i.e. the total barometric pressure minus water vapour pressure,

T

is the absolute temperature in kelvins (K) of the air drawn in by the engine.

Conditions to be complied with in the laboratory

For a test to be valid, the correction factor must be such that

0,93 < αa < 1,07

If these limits are exceeded, the corrected value obtained shall be given and the test conditions (temperature and pressure) precisely stated in the test report.

5.4.2.   Compression-ignition engines — factor αd

The power correction factor (αd) for compression-ignition engines at constant fuel rate is obtained by applying the formula:

αd = (fa)fm

Where:

fa

is the atmospheric factor

fm

the characteristic parameter for each type of engine and adjustment

5.4.2.1.   Atmospheric factor fa

This factor indicates the effects of environmental conditions (pressure, temperature and humidity) on the air drawn in by the engine. The atmospheric factor formula differs according to the type of engine.

5.4.2.1.1.   Naturally aspirated and mechanically pressure charged engines

Formula

5.4.2.1.2.   Turbocharged engines with or without charge air cooling

Formula

5.4.2.2.   Engine factor fm

fm

is a function of qc (fuel flow corrected) as follows:

fm =

0,036 qc – 1,14

and

qc

=

q/r

Where:

q

is the fuel flow in milligram per cycle per litre of total swept volume (mg/(l.cycle))

r

is the pressure ratio of compressor outlet and compressor inlet in case of multiple turbochargers r represents the total compression ratio (r = 1 for naturally aspirated engines)

This formula is valid for a value interval of qc included between 37,2 mg/(l.cycle) and 65 mg/(l.cycle).

For qc values lower than 37,2 mg/(l.cycle), a constant value of fm equal to 0,2 (fm = 0,2) will be taken.

For qc values higher than 65 mg/(l.cycle), a constant value of fm equal to 1,2 (fm = 1,2) will be taken (see the figure):

5.4.2.3.   Conditions to be complied with in the laboratory

For a test to be valid, the correction factors αa must be such that

0,93 ≤ αa ≤ 1,07

If these limits are exceeded, the corrected value obtained shall be given and the test conditions (temperature and pressure) precisely stated in the test report.


(1)  The complete inlet system shall be fitted as provided for the intended application:

(a)

where there is a risk of an appreciable effect on the engine power;

(b)

in the case of naturally aspirated spark ignition engines.

In other cases, an equivalent system may be used and a check should be made to ascertain that the intake pressure does not differ by more than 100 Pa from the upper limit specified by the manufacturer for a clean air filter.

(2)  The compete exhaust system shall be fitted as provided for the intended application:

(a)

where there is a risk of an appreciable effect on the engine power;

(b)

in the case of naturally aspirated spark ignition engines.

In other cases, an equivalent system may be installed provided the pressure measured does not differ by more than 1 000 Pa from the upper limit specified by the manufacturer.

(3)  If an exhaust brake is incorporated in the engine, the throttle valve shall be fixed in the fully open position.

(4)  The fuel feed pressure may be adjusted, if necessary, to reproduce the pressure existing in the particular engine application (particularly when a ‘fuel return’ system is used).

(5)  The cooling-liquid circulation shall be operated by the engine water pump only. Cooling of the liquid may be produced by an external circuit, such that the pressure loss of this circuit and the pressure at the pump inlet remain substantially the same as those of the engine cooling system.

(6)  The thermostat may be fixed in the fully open position.

(7)  When the cooling fan or blower is fitted for the test, the power absorbed shall be added to the results, except for engines where such auxiliaries are an integral part of the engine (i.e.: cooling fans of air cooled engines directly fitted on the crankshaft). The fan or blower power shall be determined at the speeds used for the test either by calculation from standard characteristics or by practical tests.

(8)  Charge air-cooled engines shall be tested with charge air cooling, whether liquid- or air-cooled, but if the manufacturer prefers, a test bench system may replace the air cooler. In either case, the measurement of power at each speed shall be made with the maximum pressure drop and the minimum temperature drop of the engine air across the charge air cooler on the test bench system as those specified by the manufacturer.

(9)  The power for electrical or other starting systems shall be provided from the test bed.

(1)  The tests may be carried out in air-conditioned test rooms where the atmospheric conditions may be controlled.

In the case of engines fitted with automatic air temperature control, if the device is such that at full load at 25 °C no heated air is added, the test shall be carried out with the device fully closed. If the device is still operating at 25 °C then the test is made with the device operating normally and the exponent of the temperature term in the correction factor shall be taken as zero (no temperature correction).

3.   CHOICE OF THE PARENT ENGINE

3.1.   General

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


ANNEX 6

CHECKS ON CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION

1.   GENERAL

These requirements are consistent with tests to be held to check Conformity of Production (CoP), according to paragraph 6.2 of this Regulation.

2.   TEST PROCEDURES

The methods of testing and measuring instruments shall be those described in Annex 4 to this Regulation.

3.   COLLECTION OF SAMPLES

3.1.   Case of an engine type

One engine has to be chosen. If after the test of paragraph 4. below, the engine is not considered as conforming to the requirements of this Regulation, two more engines have to be tested.

3.2.   Case of a family of engines

In case of an approval granted to a family of engines the CoP shall be run on one member of the family, which is not the parent engine. In case of failure of the CoP test, the two more engines shall be of the same member type.

4.   MEASUREMENT CRITERIA

4.1.   Net power and specific fuel consumption of internal combustion engine

Measurements shall be taken at a sufficient number of engine speeds to define correctly the power, torque and specific fuel consumption curves between the lowest and the highest engine speeds recommended by the manufacturer.

The corrected values measured for the engine sampled shall not differ by more than the values indicated in the table below and ± 10 per cent for the specific fuel consumption.

3.2.2.1.   The basis of each pipeline reference fuel (GR, G20, …) shall be gas drawn from a utility gas distribution network, blended, where necessary to meet the corresponding lambda-shift (Sλ) specification in Table A.7-1, with an admixture of one or more of the following commercially (the use of calibration gas for this purpose shall not be required) available gases:

(a)

Carbon dioxide;

(b)

Ethane;

(c)

Methane;

(d)

Nitrogen;

(e)

Propane.

3.2.2.2.   The value of Sλ of the resulting blend of pipeline gas and admixture gas shall be within the range specified in Table A.7-1 for the specified reference fuel.

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 paragraph 3.2.2.1 of this Annex;

(b)

The value of Sλ for the resulting fuel blend;

(c)

The Methane Number (MN) of the resulting fuel blend.

3.2.2.4.   The requirements of Appendices A.1 and A.2 shall be met in respect to determination of the properties of the pipeline and admixture gases, the determination of Sλ and MN for the resulting gas blend, and the verification that the blend was maintained during the test.


(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 achieve 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)  Additives, such as cetane improver as specified by the engine manufacturer, may be added to the ethanol fuel, as long as no negative side effects are known. If these conditions are satisfied, the maximum allowed amount is 10 per cent m/m.

(5)  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.

(6)  Equivalent EN/ISO methods will be adopted when issued for properties listed above.

(7)  Should it be necessary to clarify whether a fuel meets the requirements of the specifications, the terms of EN 15489 shall be applied.

(8)  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.

(9)  Equivalent EN/ISO methods will be adopted when issued for properties listed above.

(10)  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.

(11)  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.

(12)  Ethanol meeting the specification of EN 15376 is the only oxygenate that shall be intentionally added to the reference fuel.

(13)  The actual sulphur content of the fuel used for the Type 1 test shall be reported.

(14)  There shall be no intentional addition of compounds containing phosphorus, iron, manganese, or lead to this reference fuel.

(15)  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.

(16)  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.

(17)  The actual sulphur content of the fuel used for the emission tests shall be reported.

(18)  Ethanol to meet specification of EN 15376 is the only oxygenate that shall be intentionally added to this reference fuel.

(19)  The unleaded petrol content can be determined as 100 minus the sum of the per cent content of water, alcohols, MTBE and ETBE.

(20)  There shall be no intentional addition of compounds containing phosphorus, iron, manganese, or lead to this reference fuel.

(21)  Balance shall be read as follows: balance = 100 – C3 – <C3 – >C4.

(22)  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.

(23)  At the request of the engine manufacturer, a higher MON could be used to perform the type approval tests.

Formula

As an alternative to the above equation, Sλ 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 (Sλ) 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 (A.7-4):

1 × CH 4 + 2 × O 2 → 1 × CO 2 + 2 × H 2 O

(A.7-4)

In this case the ratio of molecules in stoichiometric composition of reaction partners is exactly 2:

Formula

Where:

nO 2

=

number of molecules of oxygen

nCH 4

=

number of molecules of methane

The oxygen demand for pure methane is therefore:

nO 2 = 2 · nCH 4 with a reference value of [nCH 4] = 1kmol

The value of Sλ 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 (A.7-5):

Formula

(A.7-5)

Where:

nblend

=

number of molecules of the fuel blend

(nO 2) blend

=

the ratio of the molecules in the stoichiometric composition of oxygen and the fuel blend supplied to the engine

Because air contains 21per cent oxygen the stoichiometric air demand Lst of any fuel shall be calculated by means of equation (A.7-6):

Formula

(A.7-6)

Where:

Lst,fuel

=

the stoichiometric air demand for the fuel

nO 2, fuel

=

the stoichiometric oxygen demand for the fuel

Consequently the value of Sλ 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 (A.7-7):

Formula

(A.7-7)

Therefore, any calculation that specifies the stoichiometric air demand may be used to express the Lambda-shift factor.
