Carbon flow rate in the dilution system (location 3)

4.1.   Based on CO2

For the partial flow dilution system, the splitting ratio also needs to be taken into account. The carbon flow rate in an equivalent dilution system qm Cp [kg/s] (with equivalent meaning equivalent to a full flow system where the total flow is diluted) shall be determined from the dilute CO2 concentration, the exhaust gas mass flow rate and the sample flow rate; the new equation (7-153) is identical to equation (7-151), being only supplemented by the dilution factor qm dew/qm p.

If CO2 is measured on a dry basis it shall be converted to a wet basis in accordance with point 2.1.3 or point 3.5.2.

4.2.   Based on CO2, HC and CO

For the partial flow dilution system, the splitting ratio also needs to be taken into account. As an alternative to performing the calculation solely based upon CO2 in point 4.1, the carbon flow rate in an equivalent dilution system qm Cp [kg/s] (with equivalent meaning equivalent to a full flow system where the total flow is diluted) shall be determined from the dilute CO2, HC and CO concentrations, the exhaust gas mass flow rate and the sample flow rate; the new equation (7-154) is identical to equation (7-152), being only supplemented by the dilution factor qm dew/qm p.

Calculation of the molar mass of the exhaust gas

The molar mass of the exhaust gas shall be calculated by means of equation (7-13) (see point 2.1.5.2.of this Annex).

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

M e (diesel) = 28,9 g/mol

M

e (LPG) = 28,6 g/mol

M e (Natural gas/biomethane) = 28,3 g/mol

M e (Petrol) = 29,0 g/mol

Test result

2.1.   Calculation of the specific emissions for transient (NRTC and LSI-NRTC) test cycles and RMC

For each applicable individual RMC, hot-start NRTC and cold-start NRTC the specific emissions in number of particles/kWh shall be calculated by means of equation (7-175):

Where:

  • cNH3,cold is the mean NH3 concentration of the cold-start NRTC [ppm]

Appendix 2

Emission test procedure requirements for dual-fuel engines

1.

General

This point defines the additional requirements and exceptions of this Annex to enable emission testing of dual-fuel engines independent whether these emissions are solely exhaust emissions or also crankcase emissions added to the exhaust emissions according to point 6.10 of Annex VI. In the case that no additional requirement or exception is listed, the requirements of this Regulation shall apply to dual-fuel engines in the same way as they apply to any other approved engine types or engine families under Regulation (EU) 2016/1628.

Emission testing of a dual-fuel engine is complicated by the fact that the fuel used by the engine can vary between pure liquid fuel and a combination of mainly gaseous fuel with only a small amount of liquid fuel as an ignition source. The ratio between the fuels used by a dual-fuel engine can also change dynamically depending of the operating condition of the engine. As a result special precautions and restrictions are necessary to enable emission testing of these engines.

2. Test conditions

Section 6 of Annex VI shall apply.

3.

Test procedures

Section 7 of Annex VI shall apply.

4.

Measurement procedures

Section 8 of Annex VI shall apply except as set out in this Appendix.

A full-flow dilution measurement procedure for dual-fuel engines is illustrated in Figure 6.6 of Annex VI (CVS system).

This measurement procedure ensures that the variation of the fuel composition during the test will mainly influence the hydrocarbon measurement results.  This shall be compensated via one of the methods described in point 7.

Raw gaseous/partial flow measurement illustrated in Figure 6.7 of Annex VI may be used with some precautions regarding exhaust gas mass flow determination and calculation methods.
5.

Measurement equipment

Section 9 of Annex VI shall apply.

6.

Particle number emissions measurement

Appendix 1 of Annex VI shall apply.

7.

Emission calculation

The emission calculation shall be performed according to Annex VII except as set out in this section. The additional requirements set out in point 7.1 shall apply for mass-based calculations and the additional requirements set out in point 7.2 shall apply for molar-based calculations.

The emission calculation requires knowledge of the composition of the fuels being used. When a gaseous fuel is supplied with a certificate confirming the properties of the fuel (e.g. gas from bottles) it is acceptable to use the composition specified by the supplier. Where the composition is not available (e.g. pipeline fuel) the fuel composition shall be analysed at least prior to and after the engine emission test is conducted. More frequent analysis shall be permitted and the results used in the calculation.

Where the gas energy ratio (GER) is used it shall be consistent with the definition in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 and the specific provisions on total hydrocarbon (HC) limits for fully and partially gaseous-fuelled engines in Annex II of that Regulation. The average value of GER over the cycle shall be calculated by one of the following methods:

- (a) For hot-start NRTC and RMC NRSC by dividing the sum of the GER at each measurement point by the number of measurement points;
  • (b) For discrete-mode NRSC by multiplying the average GER for each test mode by the corresponding weighting factor for that mode and calculating the sum for all modes. The weighting factors shall be taken from Appendix 1 of Annex XVII for the applicable cycle.

7.1.   Mass-based emission calculation

Section 2 of Annex VII shall apply except as set out in this section.

7.1.1.   Dry/wet correction

7.1.1.1.   Raw exhaust gas

Equations (7-3) and (7-4) of Annex VII shall be used to calculate the dry/wet correction.

The fuel specific parameters shall be determined in accordance with point 7.1.5.

7.1.1.2.   Diluted exhaust gas

Equation (7-3) with either equation (7-25) or (7-26) of Annex VII shall be used to calculate the wet/dry correction.

The molar hydrogen ratio α of the combination of the two fuels shall be used for the dry/wet correction. This molar hydrogen ratio shall be calculated from the fuel consumption measurement values of both fuels in accordance with point 7.1.5.
7.1.2.   NOx correction for humidity

The NOx humidity correction for compression ignition engines as specified in equation (7-9) of Annex VII shall be used.

7.1.3.   Partial flow dilution (PFS) and raw gaseous measurement

7.1.3.1.   Determination of exhaust gas mass flow

The exhaust gas mass flow shall be determined using a raw exhaust flow meter as described in point 9.4.5.3 of Annex VI.

Alternatively the airflow and air to fuel ratio measurement method according to equations (7-17) to (7-19) of Annex VII may be used only if α, γ, δ and ε values are determined according to point 7.1.5.3. The use of a zirconia-type sensor to determine the air fuel ratio is not allowed.

In the case of testing engines subject to steady-state test cycles only the exhaust gas mass flow may be determined by the air and fuel measurement method in accordance with equation (7-15) of Annex VII.

7.1.3.2.   Determination of the gaseous components

Point 2.1 of Annex VII shall apply except as set out in this section.
The possible variation of fuel composition will influence all the ugas factors and molar component ratios used in the emission calculations. One of the following approaches shall be used to determine ugas factors and molar component ratios at the choice of the manufacturer.
  • (a) The exact equations in point 2.1.5.2 or 2.2.3 of Annex VII shall be applied to calculate instantaneous values of ugas using the instantaneous proportions of liquid and gaseous fuel (determined from instantaneous fuel consumption measurements or calculations) and instantaneous molar component ratios determined in accordance with point 7.1.5; or,
  • (b) When the mass-based calculation in section 2 of Annex VII is used for the specific case of a dual-fuel engine operated on gas and diesel fuel, tabulated values may be used for the molar component ratios and ugas values. These tabulated values shall be applied as follows:
  • (i) For engines operated on the applicable test cycle with an average gas energy ratio greater than or equal to 90 % (GER ≥ 0,9) the required values shall be those for the gaseous fuel taken from Tables 7.1 or 7.2 of Annex VII.
  • (ii) For engines operated on the applicable test cycle with an average gas energy ratio between 10 % and 90 % (0,1 < GER < 0,9) the required values shall be assumed to be represented by those for a mixture of 50 % gaseous fuel and 50 % diesel fuel taken from Tables 8.1 and 8.2.
  • (iii) For engines operated on the applicable test cycle with an average gas energy ratio less than or equal to 10 % (GER ≤ 0,1) the required values shall be those for diesel fuel taken from taken from Tables 7.1 or 7.2 of Annex VII.
  • (iv) For the calculation of HC emissions the ugas value of the gaseous fuel shall be used in all cases irrespective of the average gas energy ratio (GER).
