Mass based emissions calculations
The emission rate of a gaseous emission qm gas, i [g/h] for each mode i of the steady state test shall be calculated by multiplying the concentration of the gaseous emission with its respective flow, as follows:
| (7-1) | |
|---|---|
where:
The total mass per test of a gaseous emission m gas [g/test] shall be calculated by multiplication of the time aligned instantaneous concentrations and exhaust gas flows and integration over the test cycle by means of equation (7-2):
| (7-2) | |
|---|---|
where:
If the emissions are measured on a dry basis, the measured concentration c d on dry basis shall be converted to the concentration c w on a wet basis by means of equation (7-3):
| (7-3) | |
|---|---|
where:
For complete combustion, the dry-to-wet conversion factor for raw exhaust gas is written as k w,a [-] and shall be calculated by means of equation (7-4):

| (7-7) | |
|---|---|
where:
| (7-8) | |
|---|---|
As the NOx emission depends on ambient air conditions, the NOx concentration shall be corrected for ambient air temperature and humidity with the factors kh,D or kh,G [-] given in equations (7-9) and (7-10). These factors are valid for a humidity range between 0 and 25 g H2O/kg dry air.

where:
Two calculation procedures are described in points 2.1.5.1 and 2.1.5.2. The procedure set out in point 2.1.5.1 is more straightforward, since it uses tabulated u values for the ratio between component and exhaust gas density. The procedure set out in point 2.1.5.2 is more accurate for fuel qualities that deviate from the specifications in Annex VIII, but requires elementary analysis of the fuel composition.
Applying some simplifications (assumption on the λ value and on intake air conditions as shown in Table 7.1) to the equations set out in point 2.1.5.2, the resulting values for u gas are given in Table 7.1.

Where:
The value of the effective weighting factors shall be within 0,005 (absolute value) of the weighting factors listed in Appendix 1 of Annex XVII.
In case of engines, other than those of category RLL, equipped with exhaust after-treatment systems that are regenerated on an infrequent (periodic) basis (see point 6.6.2 of Annex VI), the specific emissions of gaseous and particulate pollutants calculated according to points 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 shall be corrected with either the applicable multiplicative adjustment factor or with the applicable additive adjustment factor. In the case that infrequent regeneration did not take place during the test the upward factor shall be applied (k ru,m or k ru,a).

The CVS system shall be calibrated by using an accurate flowmeter and a restricting device. The flow through the system shall be measured at different restriction settings, and the control parameters of the system shall be measured and related to the flow.
Various types of flowmeters may be used, e.g. calibrated venturi, calibrated laminar flowmeter, calibrated turbine meter.
All the parameters related to the pump shall be simultaneously measured along with the parameters related to a calibration venturi which is connected in series with the pump. The calculated flow rate (in m3/s at pump inlet, absolute pressure and temperature) shall be plotted versus a correlation function which is the value of a specific combination of pump parameters. The linear equation which relates the pump flow and the correlation function shall be determined. If a CVS has a multiple speed drive, the calibration shall be performed for each range used.
Temperature stability shall be maintained during calibration.
Leaks in all the connections and ducting between the calibration venturi and the CVS pump shall be maintained lower than 0,3 % of the lowest flow point (highest restriction and lowest PDP speed point).
The airflow rate (qV CVS) at each restriction setting (minimum 6 settings) shall be calculated in standard m3/s from the flowmeter data using the manufacturer's prescribed method. The airflow rate shall then be converted to pump flow (V 0) in m3/rev at absolute pump inlet temperature and pressure by means of equation (7-69):
| (7-69) | |
|---|---|
where:
To account for the interaction of pressure variations at the pump and the pump slip rate, the correlation function (X 0) [s/rev] between pump speed, pressure differential from pump inlet to pump outlet and absolute pump outlet pressure shall be calculated by means of equation (7-70):
| (7-70) | |
|---|---|

A linear least-square fit shall be performed to generate the calibration by means of equation (7-71):
| V 0 = D 0 –m · X 0 | (7-71) |
|---|---|
with D 0 [m3/rev] and m [m3/s], intercept and slope respectively, describing the regression line.
For a CVS system with multiple speeds, the calibration curves generated for the different pump flow ranges shall be approximately parallel, and the intercept values (D 0) shall increase as the pump flow range decreases.
The calculated values from the equation shall be within ± 0,5 % of the measured value of V
Values of m will vary from one pump to another. Particulate influx over time will cause the pump slip to decrease, as reflected by lower values for m. Therefore, calibration shall be performed at pump start-up, after major maintenance, and if the total system verification indicates a change of the slip rate.
Calibration of the CFV is based upon the flow equation for a critical venturi. Gas flow is a function of venturi inlet pressure and temperature.
To determine the range of critical flow, K V shall be plotted as a function of venturi inlet pressure. For critical (choked) flow, K V will have a relatively constant value. As pressure decreases (vacuum increases), the venturi becomes unchoked and K V decreases, which indicates that the CFV is operated outside the permissible range.
The airflow rate (qV CVS) at each restriction setting (minimum 8 settings) shall be calculated in standard m3/s from the flowmeter data using the manufacturer's prescribed method. The calibration coefficient K V
shall be calculated from the calibration data for each setting by means of equation (7-72):

|---|---|
Where:
The average K V and the standard deviation shall be calculated. The standard deviation shall not exceed ± 0,3 % of the average K V.
Calibration of the SSV is based upon the flow equation for a subsonic venturi. Gas flow is a function of inlet pressure and temperature, pressure drop between the SSV inlet and throat, as shown in equation (7-40).
The airflow rate (qV SSV) at each restriction setting (minimum 16 settings) shall be calculated in standard m3/s from the flowmeter data using the manufacturer's prescribed method. The discharge coefficient shall be calculated from the calibration data for each setting by means of equation (7-73):
| (7-73) | |
|---|---|
Where:
To determine the range of subsonic flow, C d shall be plotted as a function of Reynolds number Re, at the SSV throat. The Re at the SSV throat shall be calculated by means of equation (7-74):
| (7-74) | |
|---|---|
with
| (7-75) | |
|---|---|
Where:
Because qV SSV is an input to the Re equation, the calculations shall be started with an initial guess for qV SSV or C d of the calibration venturi, and repeated until qV SSV converges. The convergence method shall be accurate to 0,1 % of point or better.
For a minimum of sixteen points in the region of subsonic flow, the calculated values of C d from the resulting calibration curve fit equation shall be within ± 0,5 % of the measured C d for each calibration point.
The calculations in this section shall be performed to determine if gas analyzer drift invalidates the results of a test interval. If drift does not invalidate the results of a test interval, the test interval's gas analyzer responses shall be corrected for drift in accordance with point 2.6.2. The drift-corrected gas analyzer responses shall be used in all subsequent emission calculations. The acceptable threshold for gas analyzer drift over a test interval is specified in point 8.2.2.2 of Annex VI.
The general test procedure shall follow the provisions specified in Appendix 1 with concentrations xi or

The general chemical formula of fuel is CHαOβSγNδ with α atomic hydrogen-to-carbon ratio (H/C), β atomic oxygen-to-carbon ratio (O/C), γ atomic sulphur-to-carbon ratio (S/C) and δ atomic nitrogen-to-carbon ratio (N/C). Based on this formula the carbon mass fraction of fuel w C can be calculated. In case of diesel fuel the simple formula CHαOβ may be used. Default values for fuel composition may be derived from Table 7.3:
| Fuel | Atomic hydrogen, oxygen, sulphur and nitrogen-to-carbon ratios CHαOβSγNδ | Carbon mass concentration, w C [g/g] |
|---|---|---|
| Diesel (non-road gas-oil) | CH1,80O0S0N0 | 0,869 |

As an alternative to the default values in Table 7.3, or where default values are not given for the reference fuel being used, the carbon mass concentration w C may be calculated from measured fuel properties by means of equation (7-82). Values for α and β shall be determined for the fuel and inserted into the equation in all cases, but γ and δ may optionally be set to zero if they are zero in the corresponding line of Table 7.3:
| (7-82) | |
|---|---|
where:
M C = molar mass of carbon.

For HC measurement, x THC[THC-FID] shall be calculated by using the initial THC contamination concentration x THC[THC-FID]init from point 7.3.1.3 of Annex VI by means of equation (7-83):
| (7-83) | |
|---|---|
Where:
x THC[THC-FID]cor = THC concentration corrected for contamination [mol/mol]
x THC[THC-FID]uncorr = THC uncorrected concentration [mol/mol]
x THC[THC-FID]init = initial THC contamination concentration [mol/mol]
In some points of this section, it may be necessary to calculate a flow-weighted mean concentration to determine the applicability of certain provisions. A flow-weighted mean is the mean of a quantity after it is weighted proportional to a corresponding flow rate. For example, if a gas concentration is measured continuously from the raw exhaust gas of an engine, its flow-weighted mean concentration is the sum of the products of each recorded concentration times its respective exhaust gas molar flow rate, divided by the sum of the recorded flow rate values. As another example, the bag concentration from a CVS system is the same as the flow-weighted mean concentration because the CVS system itself flow-weights the bag concentration. A certain flow-weighted mean concentration of an emission at the emission limit value might be already expected based on previous testing with similar engines or testing with similar equipment and instruments.
Chemical balances of fuel, intake air and exhaust gas may be used to calculate flows, the amount of water in their flows, and the wet concentration of constituents in their flows. With one flow rate of either fuel, intake air or exhaust gas, chemical balances may be used to determine the flows of the other two. For example, chemical balances along with either intake air or fuel flow to determine raw exhaust gas flow may be used.
Chemical balances are required to determine the following:
(a) The amount of water in a raw or diluted exhaust gas flow, x H2Oexh, when the amount of water to correct for the amount of water removed by a sampling system is not measured;
(b) The flow-weighted mean fraction of dilution air in diluted exhaust gas, x dil/exh, when dilution air flow is not measured to correct for background emissions. It has to be noted that if chemical balances are used for this purpose, the exhaust gas is assumed to be stoichiometric, even if it is not.
The calculations for a chemical balance involve a system of equations that require iteration. The initial values of up to three quantities shall be guessed: the amount of water in the measured flow, x H2Oexh, fraction of dilution air in diluted exhaust gas (or excess air in the raw exhaust gas), x dil/exh, and the amount of products on a C1 basis per dry mole of dry measured flow, x Ccombdry. Time-weighted mean values of combustion air humidity and dilution air humidity in the chemical balance may be used; as long as combustion air and dilution air humidity remain within tolerances of ± 0,0025 mol/mol of their respective mean values over the test interval. For each emission concentration, x, and amount of water x H2Oexh, their completely dry concentrations, x dry and x H2Oexhdry shall be determined. The fuel atomic hydrogen-to-carbon ratio, α, oxygen-to-carbon ratio, β and carbon mass fraction of fuel, w C shall also be used. For the test fuel, α and β or the default values in Table 7.3 may be used.
Use the following steps to complete a chemical balance:
(a) Measured concentrations such as, x CO2meas, x NOmeas, and x H2Oint, shall be converted to dry concentrations by dividing them by one minus the amount of water present during their respective measurements; for example: x H2OxCO2meas, x H2OxNOmeas, and x H2Oint. If the amount of water present during a ‘wet’ measurement is the same as the unknown amount of water in the exhaust gas flow, x H2Oexh, it has to be iteratively solved for that value in the system of equations. If only total NOx are measured and not NO and NO2 separately, good engineering judgement shall be used to estimate a split in the total NOx concentration between NO and NO2 for the chemical balances. The molar concentration of NOx, x NOx, may be assumed to be 75 % NO and 25 % NO2. For NO2 storage after-treatment systems, x NOx may be assumed to be 25 % NO and 75 % NO2. For calculating the mass of NOx emissions, the molar mass of NO2 for the effective molar mass of all NOx species, regardless of the actual NO2 fraction of NOx, shall be used;
(b) Equations (7-82) to (7-99) in paragraph (d) of this point have to be entered into a computer program to iteratively solve for x H2Oexh, x Ccombdry and x dil/exh. Good engineering judgment shall be used to guess initial values for x H2Oexh, x Ccombdry, and x dil/exh. Guessing an initial amount of water that is about twice the amount of water in the intake or dilution air is recommended. Guessing an initial value of x Ccombdry as the sum of the measured CO2, CO, and THC values is recommended. Guessing an initial x dil between 0,75 and 0,95, such as 0,8 is also recommended. Values in the system of equations shall be iterated until the most recently updated guesses are all within ± 1 % of their respective most recently calculated values;
(c) The following symbols and subscripts are used in the equation system of paragraph (d) of this point where x unit is mol/mol: Symbol Description x dil/exh Amount of dilution gas or excess air per mole of exhaust gas x H2Oexh Amount of H2O in exhaust per mole of exhaust gas x Ccombdry Amount of carbon from fuel in the exhaust per mole of dry exhaust gas x H2Oexhdry Amount of water in exhaust per dry mole of dry exhaust gas x prod/intdry Amount of dry stoichiometric products per dry mole of intake air x dil/exhdry Amount of dilution gas and/or excess air per mole of dry exhaust gas x int/exhdry Amount of intake air required to produce actual combustion products per mole of dry (raw or diluted) exhaust gas x raw/exhdry Amount of undiluted exhaust, without excess air, per mole of dry (raw or diluted) exhaust gas x O2intdry Amount of intake air O2 per mole of dry intake air; x O2intdry = 0,209445 mol/mol may be assumed x CO2intdry Amount of intake air CO2 per mole of dry intake air. x CO2intdry = 375 μmol/mol may be used, but measuring the actual concentration in the intake air is recommended x H2Ointdry Amount of the intake air H2O per mole of dry intake air x CO2int Amount of intake air CO2 per mole of intake air x CO2dil Amount of dilution gas CO2 per mole of dilution gas x CO2dildry Amount of dilution gas CO2 per mole of dry dilution gas.

At the end of the chemical balance, the molar flow rate is calculated as specified in points 3.5.3 and 3.6.3.
All the NOx concentrations, including dilution air background concentrations, shall be corrected for intake-air humidity using equation (7-102) or (7-103):
(a) For compression-ignition engines x NOxcor = x NOxuncor · (9,953 · x H2O + 0,832) (7-102)
(b) For spark-ignition engines x NOxcor = x NOxuncor · (18,840 · x H2O + 0,68094) (7-103) Where: x NOxuncor = uncorrected NOx molar concentration in the exhaust gas [μmol/mol] x H2O = amount of water in the intake air [mol/mol]
To calculate the total mass per test of gaseous emission m gas [g/test], its molar concentration shall be multiplied by its respective molar flow and by exhaust gas molar mass; then integration over test cycle shall be performed [equation (7-104)]:

Where:
General equation may be modified according to which measurement system is used, batch or continuous sampling, and if a varying rather than a constant flow rate is sampled.
(a) For continuous sampling, in the general case of varying flow rate, the mass of the gaseous emission m gas [g/test] shall be calculated by means of equation (7-106): (7-106) Where: M gas = generic emission molar mass [g/mol] ṅ exh i = instantaneous exhaust gas molar flow rate on a wet basis [mol/s] x gas i = instantaneous gaseous emission molar fraction on a wet basis [mol/mol] ƒ = data sampling rate [Hz] N = number of measurements [-]

Where:
The flow rate of the raw exhaust gas can be directly measured or can be calculated based on the chemical balance of point 3.4.3. Calculation of raw exhaust gas molar flow rate is performed from measured intake air molar flow rate or fuel mass flow rate. The raw exhaust gas molar flow rate can be calculated from the sampled emissions, ṅexh, based on the measured intake air molar flow rate, ṅint, or the measured fuel mass flow rate, ṁfuel, and the values calculated using the chemical balance in point 3.4.3. It shall be solved for the chemical balance in point 3.4.3 at the same frequency that ṅint or ṁfuel is updated and recorded.
(a) Crankcase flow rate. The raw exhaust gas flow can be calculated based on ṅint or ṁfuel only if at least one of the following is true about crankcase emission flow rate: (i) The test engine has a production emission-control system with a closed crankcase that routes crankcase flow back to the intake air, downstream of intake air flow meter; (ii) During emission testing open crankcase flow shall be routed to the exhaust gas according to point 6.10 of Annex VI; (iii) Open crankcase emissions and flow are measured and added brake-specific emission calculations; (iv) Using emission data or an engineering analysis, it can be demonstrated that neglecting the flow rate of open crankcase emissions does not adversely affect compliance with the applicable standards;
(b) Molar flow rate calculation based on intake air. Based on ṅint, exhaust gas molar flow rate ṅexh [mol/s] shall be calculated by means of equation (7-112): (7-112) Where: ṅ exh = raw exhaust gas molar flow rate from which emissions are measured [mol/s] ṅ ind = intake air molar flow rate including humidity in intake air [mol/s] x int/exhdry = amount of intake air required to produce actual combustion products per mole of dry (raw or diluted) exhaust gas [mol/mol] x raw/exhdry = amount of undiluted exhaust gas, without excess air, per mole of dry (raw or diluted) exhaust gas [mol/mol] x H2Oexhdry = amount of water in exhaust gas per mole of dry exhaust gas [mol/mol]
(c) Molar flow rate calculation based on fuel mass flow rate Based on ṁfuel, ṅexh [mol/s] shall be calculated as follows: When conducting laboratory testing this calculation may only be used for discrete-mode NRSC and RMC [equation (7-113)]: (7-113) Where: ṅ exh = raw exhaust gas molar flow rate from which emissions are measured ṁ fuel = fuel flow rate including humidity in intake air [g/s] w C = carbon mass fraction for the given fuel [g/g] x H2Oexhdry = amount of H2O per dry mole of measured flow [mol/mol] M C = molecular mass of carbon 12,0107 g/mol x Ccombdry = amount of carbon from fuel in the exhaust gas per mole of dry exhaust gas [mol/mol]
(d) Exhaust gas molar flow rate calculation based on measured intake air molar flow rate, diluted exhaust gas molar flow rate, and dilute chemical balance Exhaust gas molar flow rate ṅ exh [mol/s] may be calculated based on the measured intake air molar flow rate, ṅ int, the measured diluted exhaust gas molar flow rate, ṅ dexh, and the values calculated using the chemical balance in point 3.4.3. Note that the chemical balance must be based on diluted exhaust gas concentrations. For continuous-flow calculations, solve for the chemical balance in point 3.4.3 at the same frequency that ṅ int and ṅ dexh are updated and recorded. This calculated ṅ dexh may be used for the PM dilution ratio verification, the calculation of dilution air molar flow rate in the background correction in point 3.6.1 and the calculation of mass of emissions in point 3.5.1 for species that are measured in the raw exhaust gas. Based on diluted exhaust gas and intake air molar flow rate, exhaust gas molar flow rate, ṅ exh [mol/s] shall be calculated as follows: (7-114) where ṅ exh = raw exhaust gas molar flow rate from which emissions are measured [mol/s]; x int/exhdry = amount of intake air required to produce actual combustion products per mole of dry (raw or diluted) exhaust gas [mol/mol]; x raw/exhdry = amount of undiluted exhaust gas, without excess air, per mole of dry (raw or diluted) exhaust gas [mol/mol]; x H2Oexh = amount of water in exhaust gas per mole of exhaust gas [mol/mol]; ṅ dexh = diluted exhaust gas molar flow rate from which emissions are measured [mol/s]; ṅ int = intake air molar flow rate including humidity in intake air [mol/s].

(d) In case of diluted exhaust gas calculated values for mass of the pollutants shall be corrected by subtracting the mass of background emissions, due to dilution air: (i) Firstly, the molar flow rate of dilution air nairdil [mol/s] shall be determined over the test interval. This may be a measured quantity or a quantity calculated from the diluted exhaust gas flow and the flow-weighted mean fraction of dilution air in diluted exhaust gas,
; (ii) The total flow of dilution air n airdil [mol] shall be multiplied by the mean concentration of background emission. This may be a time-weighted mean or a flow-weighted mean (e.g., a proportionally sampled background). The product of n airdil and the mean concentration of a background emission is the total amount of a background emission; (iii) If the result is a molar quantity, it shall be converted to a mass of the background emission m bkgnd [g] by multiplying it by emission molar mass, M gas [g/mol]; (iv) Total background mass shall be subtracted from total mass to correct for background emissions; (v) The total flow of dilution air may be determined by a direct flow measurement. In this case, the total mass of background shall be calculated, using the dilution air flow, n airdil. The background mass shall be subtracted from the total mass. The result shall be used in brake-specific emission calculations; (vi) The total flow of dilution air may be determined from the total flow of diluted exhaust gas and a chemical balance of the fuel, intake air, and exhaust gas as described in point 3.4. In this case, the total mass of background shall be calculated, using the total flow of diluted exhaust gas, n dexh. Then this result shall be multiplied by the flow-weighted mean fraction of dilution air in diluted exhaust gas,
. Considering the two cases (v) and (vi), equations (7-115) and (7-116) shall be used: or (7-115) m gascor = m gas – m bkgnd (7-116) where: m gas = total mass of the gaseous emission [g] m bkgnd = total background masses [g] m gascor = mass of gas corrected for background emissions [g] M gas = molecular mass of generic gaseous emission [g/mol] x gasdil = gaseous emission concentration in dilution air [mol/mol] n airdil = dilution air molar flow [mol] = flow-weighted mean fraction of dilution air in diluted exhaust gas [mol/mol] = gas fraction of background [mol/mol] n dexh = total flow of diluted exhaust gas [mol]
The same relations for raw gases (point 3.5.2) shall be used for dry-to-wet conversion on diluted samples. For dilution air a humidity measurement shall be performed with the aim to calculate its water vapour fraction x H2Odildry [mol/mol] by means of equation (7-96):

(b) Measurement The exhaust gas molar flow rate may be measured by means of three systems: (i) PDP molar flow rate. Based upon the speed at which the Positive Displacement Pump (PDP) operates for a test interval, the corresponding slope a 1, and intercept, a 0 [-], as calculated with the calibration procedure set out in point 3.9.2, shall be used to calculate molar flow rate ṅ [mol/s] by means of equation (7-117): (7-117) with: (7-118) where: a 1 = calibration coefficient [m3/s] a 0 = calibration coefficient [m3/rev] p in, p out = inlet/outlet pressure [Pa] R = molar gas constant [J/(mol · K)] T in = inlet temperature [K] V rev = PDP pumped volume [m3/rev] f n.,PDP = PDP speed [rev/s] (ii) SSV molar flow rate. Based on the C d versus R e # equation determined in accordance with point 3.9.4, the Sub-Sonic Venturi (SSV) molar flow rate during an emission test ṅ [mol/s] shall be calculated by means of equation (7-119): (7-119) Where: p in = inlet pressure [Pa] A t = Venturi throat cross-sectional area [m2] R = molar gas constant [J/(mol · K)] T in = inlet temperature [K] Z = compressibility factor M mix = molar mass of diluted exhaust gas [kg/mol] C d = discharge coefficient of the SSV [-] C f = flow coefficient of the SSV [-] (iii) CFV molar flow rate. To calculate the molar flow rate through one venturi or one combination of venturis, its respective mean C d and other constants, determined in accordance with point 3.9.5, shall be used. The calculation of its molar flow rate ṅ [mol/s] during an emission test shall be calculated by means of equation (7-120): (7-120) Where: p in = inlet pressure [Pa] A t = Venturi throat cross-sectional area [m2] R = molar gas constant [J/(mol · K)] T in = inlet temperature [K] Z = compressibility factor M mix = molar mass of diluted exhaust gas [kg/mol] C d = discharge coefficient of the CFV [-] C f = flow coefficient of the CFV [-]
(a) Sampling from a varying flow rate: If a batch sample from a changing exhaust gas flow rate is collected, a sample proportional to the changing exhaust gas flow rate shall be extracted. The flow rate shall be integrated over a test interval to determine the total flow. The mean PM concentration
(which is already in units of mass per mole of sample) shall be multiplied by the total flow to obtain the total mass of PM m PM [g] by means of equation (7-121): (7-121) Where: ṅi = instantaneous exhaust gas molar flow rate [mol/s] = mean PM concentration [g/mol] Δti = sampling interval [s]
(b) Sampling from a constant flow rate If a batch sample from a constant exhaust gas flow rate is collected, the mean molar flow rate from which the sample is extracted shall be determined.

The dilution ratio DR can be expressed as a function of x dil/exh [equation (7-124)]: (7-124)
The same approach as that of point 3.6.1 shall be applied to correct the mass of PM for the background. Multiplying
by the total flow of dilution air, the total background mass of PM (m PMbkgnd [g]) is obtained. Subtraction of total background mass from total mass gives background corrected mass of particulates m PMcor [g] [equation (7-125)]:
