Appendix 1

Dual-fuel engine dual-fuel indicator, warning system, operability restriction — Demonstration requirements

1. Dual-fuel indicators

The ability of the engine to command the activation of the dual-fuel mode indicator when operating in dual-fuel mode shall be demonstrated at EU type-approval.

In the case of a Type 1B, Type 2B, or Type 3B dual-fuel engine the ability of the engine to command the activation of the liquid-fuel mode indicator when operating in liquid-fuel mode shall be demonstrated at EU type-approval.

The ability of the engine to command the activation of the service mode indicator when operating in service mode shall be demonstrated at EU type-approval.

1.3.1. When so-equipped it is sufficient to perform the demonstration related to the service mode indicator by activating a service mode activation switch and to present the approval authority with evidence showing that the activation occurs when the service mode is commanded by the engine system itself (for example, through algorithms, simulations, result of in-house tests, etc. …).

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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).

For the determination of particulate emissions with the partial dilution measurement method the calculation shall be performed according to the equations in point 2.3 of Annex VII.

The requirements of point 8.2.1.2 of Annex VI shall apply for controlling the dilution ratio. In particular, if the combined transformation time of the exhaust gas flow measurement and the partial flow system exceeds 0,3 s, look-ahead control based on a pre-recorded test run shall be used. In this case, the combined rise time shall be ≤ 1 s and the combined delay time ≤ 10 s. Except in the case that the exhaust gas mass flow is measured directly the determination of exhaust gas mass flow shall use values of α, γ, δ and ε determined in accordance with point 7.1.5.3.

The quality check according to point 8.2.1.2 of Annex VI shall be performed for each measurement.

The flow meter referred to in points 9.4.5.3 and 9.4.5.4 of Annex VI shall not be sensitive to the changes in exhaust gas composition and density. The small errors of e.g. pitot tube or orifice-type of measurement (equivalent with the square root of the exhaust gas density) may be neglected.

Point 2.2 of Annex VII shall apply except as set out in this section.

The possible variation of the fuel composition will mainly influence the tabulated hydrocarbon ugas value. The exact equations shall be applied for the calculation of the hydrocarbon emissions using the molar component ratios determined from the fuel consumption measurements of both fuels according to point 7.1.5.

To determine the stoichiometric factor, the molar hydrogen ratio α of the fuel shall be calculated as the average molar hydrogen ratio of the fuel mix during the test according to point 7.1.5.3.

Equation (7-102) of Annex VII (correction for compression ignition engines) shall be used.

Equation (7-112) of Annex VII (molar flow rate calculation based on intake air) shall be used. Equation (7-113) of Annex VII (molar flow rate calculation based on fuel mass flow rate) may alternatively be used only when conducting an NRSC test.

The exact approach shall be used to determine the molar component ratios using the instantaneous proportions of liquid and gaseous fuel determined from instantaneous fuel consumption measurements or calculations.  The instantaneous molar component ratios shall be input in the equations (7-88), (7-90), and (7-91) of Annex VII for the continuous chemical balance.

The determination of the ratios shall be either performed according to point 7.2.3.1 or point 7.1.5.3.

Gaseous fuels, either blended or sourced from a land line, may contain significant amounts of inert constituents such as CO2 and N2. The manufacturer shall either include these constituents in the atomic ratio calculations described in point 7.2.3.1 or point 7.1.5.3 as applicable, or, alternatively, the manufacturer shall exclude the inert constituents from the atomic ratios and allocate them appropriately to the chemical balance intake air parameters x O2int, x CO2int, and x H2Oint in point 3.4.3 of Annex VII.

Instantaneous molar component ratios of the number of hydrogen, oxygen, sulphur, and nitrogen atoms to carbons atoms in the mixed fuel for the dual-fuel engines may be calculated by means of equations (8-12) to (8-15):

(8-12)
(8-13)

Where:

Annex VII shall apply except when the engine is tested on transient (NRTC and LSI-NRTC) test cycles or RMC using raw gas sampling.

Calculation of CO2 emissions from measurement of CO2 in the exhaust gas in accordance with Annex VII shall not apply. Instead the following provisions shall apply:

The measured test-averaged fuel consumption shall be determined from the sum of the instantaneous values over the cycle and shall be used as the base for calculating the test averaged CO2 emissions.

The mass of each fuel consumed shall be used to determine, in accordance with section 7.1.5, the molar hydrogen ratio and the mass fractions of the fuel mix in the test.

Appendix 1

Supplementary requirements for conducting emission testing using gaseous reference fuels comprising pipeline gas with admixture of other gases

1. Method of gas analysis and gas flow measurement

1.1. For the purpose of this Appendix, where required the composition of the gas shall be determined by analysis of the gas using gas chromatography according to EN ISO 6974, or by an alternative technique that achieves at least a similar level of accuracy and repeatability.

1.2. For the purpose of this Appendix, where required the measurement of gas flow shall be performed using a mass-based flowmeter.

2.

Analysis and flowrate of incoming utility gas supply

2.1. The composition of the utility gas supply shall be analysed prior to the admixture blending system.

2.2. The flowrate of the utility gas entering the admixture blending system shall be measured.

3. Analysis and flowrate of admixture

3.1. When an applicable certificate of analysis is available for an admixture (for example issued by the gas supplier) this may be used as the source of that admixture composition. In this case the on-site analysis of that admixture composition shall be permitted but shall not be required.

3.2. Where an applicable certificate of analysis is not available for an admixture the composition of that admixture shall be analysed.

3.3. The flowrate of each admixture entering the admixture blending system shall be measured.

4.

Analysis of blended gas

4.1. The analysis of the composition of the gas supplied to the engine after leaving the admixture blending system shall be permitted in addition to, or as an alternative to the analysis required by points 2.1 and 3.1, but shall not be required.

5. Calculation of Sλ and MN of the blended gas

The same set of data shall be used to calculate Sλ according to the procedure set out in Appendix 2.

6.

Control and verification of gas blend during the test

6.1 The control and verification of the gas blend during the test shall be performed using either an open loop or closed loop control system.

Appendix 2

Calculation of λ-Shift factor (Sλ)

1.

Calculation

The λ-shift factor (Sλ) (8) shall be calculated by means of equation (9-1):

(9-1)

Where:

(9-2)
(9- 3)

Where:

2.

Examples for the calculation of the λ-shift factor Sλ:

Example 1: G25: CH4 = 86 %, N2 = 14 % (by volume)

Example 2: GR: CH4 = 87 %, C2H6 = 13 % (by vol)

Example 3: USA: CH4 = 89 %, C2H6 = 4,5 %, C3H8 = 2,3 %, C6H14 = 0,2 %, O2 = 0,6 %, N2 = 4 %

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 (9-4):

1 · CH 4 + 2 · O 2 → 1 · CO 2 + 2 · H 2 O (9-4)

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

Where:

The oxygen demand for pure methane is therefore:

The value of Sλ may be determined from the ratio of the ratio of the stoichiometric composition of oxygen and methane to the ratio of the stoichiometric composition of oxygen and the fuel blend supplied to the engine, as set out in equation (9-5):

(9-5)

Where:

Because air contains 21 % oxygen the stoichiometric air demand Lst of any fuel shall be calculated by means of equation (9-6):

(9-6)

Where:

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 (9-7):

(9-7)

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