The respective reference fuel for the engine systems under test shall be selected from the fuel types listed in Table 1 and shall be the same as the reference fuel used for the EC type-approval in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 582/2011. The fuel properties of the reference fuels listed in Table 1 shall be those specified in Annex IX to Commission Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 and for hydrogen in Annex 5 of UN Regulation No 49.
To ensure that the same fuel is used for all testruns performed for the purpose of certification of one specific engine CO2-family no refill of the tank or switch to another tank supplying the engine system shall occur. Exceptionally a refill or switch may be allowed if it can be ensured that the replacement fuel has exactly the same properties as the fuel used before (same production batch).

The NCV for the fuel used shall be determined by two separate measurements in accordance with the respective standards for each fuel type defined in Table 1. The two separate measurements shall be performed by two different labs independent from the manufacturer applying for certification. The lab performing the measurements shall comply with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025. The approval authority shall ensure that the fuel sample used for determination of the NCV is taken from the batch of fuel used for all testruns.

If the two separate values for the NCV are deviating by more than 440 Joule per gram fuel, the values determined shall be void and the measurement campaign shall be repeated.

The mean value of the two separate NCV that are not deviating by more than 440 Joule per gram fuel shall be documented in MJ/kg rounded to 2 places to the right of the decimal point in accordance with ASTM E 29-06.

For gas and hydrogen fuels the standards for determining the NCV according to Table 1 contain the calculation of the calorific value based on the fuel composition. The gas or hydrogen fuel composition for determining the NCV shall be taken from the analysis of the reference fuel batch used for the certification tests. For the determination of the gas or hydrogen fuel composition used for determining the NCV only one single analysis by a lab independent from the manufacturer applying for certification shall be performed. For gas or hydrogen fuels the NCV shall be determined based on this single analysis instead of a mean value of two separate measurements.

For gas and hydrogen fuels, switches between fuel supply tanks of different production batches are allowed exceptionally. In that case, the NCV of each used fuel batch shall be calculated and the highest of those values shall be documented.

The commercially available oil shall not be modified by any means and no additives shall be added.

All testruns performed for the purpose of certification of the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption related properties of one specific engine CO2-family shall be performed with the same type of lubricating oil.

3.4   Fuel flow measurement system
All fuel flows consumed by the whole engine system shall be captured by the fuel flow measurement system.

Conversion of the normalized setpoint definition to the actual target values of engine speed and torque setpoints for the individual engine under test shall be based on the engine full load curve of the CO2-parent engine of the engine CO2-family defined in accordance with Appendix 3 to this Annex and recorded in accordance with paragraph 4.3.1.

4.3.5.2.1   Definition of target engine speed setpoints

The 10 target engine speed setpoints are defined by 4 base target engine speed setpoints and 6 additional target engine speed setpoints.

The engine speeds nidle, nlo, npref, n95h and nhi shall be determined from the engine full load curve of the CO2-parent engine of the engine CO2-family defined in accordance with Appendix 3 to this Annex and recorded in accordance with paragraph 4.3.1 by applying the definitions of characteristic engine speeds in accordance with paragraph 7.4.6. of Annex 4 to  UN Regulation No. 49.

n57 = 0,565 × (0,45 × nlo + 0,45 × npref + 0,1 × nhi – nidle) × 2,0327 + nidle

The 4 base target engine speed setpoints are defined as follows:

  • (1) Base engine speed 1: nidle
  • (2) Base engine speed 2: nA = n57 – 0,05 × (n95h – nidle)
  • (3) Base engine speed 3: nB = n57 + 0,08 × (n95h – nidle)
  • (4) Base engine speed 4: n95h

The potential distances between the speed setpoints shall be determined by the following equations:

  • (1) dnidleA_44 = (nA – nidle) / 4
  • (2) dnB95h_44 = (n95h – nB) / 4
  • (3) dnidleA_35 = (nA – nidle) / 3
  • (4) dnB95h_35 = (n95h – nB) / 5
  • (5) dnidleA_53 = (nA – nidle) / 5
  • (6) dnB95h_53 = (n95h – nB) / 3

The absolute values of potential deviations between the two sections shall be determined by the following equations:

  • (1) dn44 = ABS(dnidleA_44 – dnB95h_44)
  • (2) dn35 = ABS(dnidleA_35 – dnB95h_35)
  • (3) dn53 = ABS(dnidleA_53 – dnB95h_53)

The 6 additional target engine speed setpoints shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions:

  • (1) If dn44 is smaller than or equal to (dn35 + 5) and also smaller than or equal to (dn53 + 5), the 6 additional target engine speeds shall be determined by dividing each of the two ranges, one from nidle to nA and the other from nB to n95h, into 4 equidistant sections.
  • (2) If (dn35 + 5) is smaller than dn44 and also dn35 is smaller than dn53, the 6 additional target engine speeds shall be determined by dividing the range from nidle to nA into 3 equidistant sections and the range from nB to n95h, into 5 equidistant sections.
  • (3) If (dn53 + 5) is smaller than dn44 and also dn53 is smaller than dn35, the 6 additional target engine speeds shall be determined by dividing the range from nidle to nA into 5 equidistant sections and the range from nB to n95h, into 3 equidistant sections.

The 2 base target torque setpoints are defined by zero engine torque and the maximum engine full load of the CO2-parent engine determined in accordance with paragraph 4.3.1. (overall maximum torque Tmax_overall). The 9 additional target torque setpoints are determined by dividing the range from zero torque to overall maximum torque, Tmax_overall, into 10 equidistant sections.

All target torque setpoints at a particular target engine speed setpoint that exceed the limit value defined by the full load torque value (determined from the engine full load curve recorded in accordance with point 4.3.1) at this particular target engine speed setpoint minus 5 % of Tmax_overall, shall be replaced by one single target torque setpoint at full load torque at this particular target engine speed setpoint. Each of these replacement setpoints shall be measured only once during the FCMC test sequence defined in accordance with paragraph 4.3.5.5.

The specific fuel consumption over the WHSC shall be calculated from the actual measured values for the WHSC recorded in accordance with point 4.3.4 as follows:

SFCWHSC = (Σ FCWHSC) / (WWHSC + Σ E_WHRWHSC)

where:

SFCWHSC = Specific fuel consumption over WHSC [g/kWh]
--- --- ---
Σ FCWHSC = Total fuel consumption over the WHSC [g] determined in accordance with point 5.2 of this Annex
--- --- ---
WWHSC = Total engine work over the WHSC [kWh] dddetermined in accordance with point 5.1 of this Annex

For engines with more than one WHR system installed E_WHRWHSC shall be calculated for each different WHR system separately. For engines without a WHR system installed E_WHRWHSC shall be set to zero.

E_WHRWHSC = Total integrated E_WHR_net over the WHSC [kWh]

determined in accordance with point 5.3

Σ E_WHRWHSC = Sum of individual E_WHRWHSC of all different WHR systems installed [kWh].

5.3.3.1   Corrected specific fuel consumption figures over WHSC

The calculated specific fuel consumption over the WHSC, SFCWHSC, determined in accordance with paragraph 5.3.3 shall be adjusted to a corrected value, SFCWHSC,corr, in order to account for the difference between the NCV of the fuel used during testing and the standard NCV for the respective engine fuel technology in accordance with the following equation:

where:

SFCWHSC,corr = Corrected specific fuel consumption over WHSC [g/kWh]
--- --- ---
SFCWHSC = Specific fuel consumption over WHSC [g/kWh]
--- --- ---
NCVmeas = NCV of the fuel used during testing determined in accordance with paragraph 3.2 [MJ/kg]
--- --- ---
NCVstd = Standard NCV in accordance with Table 4 [MJ/kg]

Table 4

Standard net calorific values of fuel types
Fuel type / engine type Reference fuel type Standard NCV [MJ/kg]
Diesel / CI B7 42,7
Ethanol / CI ED95 25,7
Petrol / PI E10 41,5
Ethanol / PI E85 29,1
LPG / PI LPG Fuel B 46,0
Natural gas / PI or Natural Gas / CI G25 or GR 45,1
Hydrogen / PI or Hydrogen / CI Hydrogen 120,0

5.3.3.2   Special provisions for B7 reference fuel

In the case that reference fuel of the type B7 (Diesel /CI) in accordance with paragraph 3.2 was used during testing, the standardization correction in accordance with paragraph 5.3.3.1 shall not be performed and the corrected value, SFCWHSC,corr, shall be set to the uncorrected value SFCWHSC.

5.3.3.3   Special requirements for dual-fuel engines

For dual-fuel engines the corrected specific fuel consumption figures over the WHSC in accordance with point 5.3.3.1 shall be calculated for each of the two fuels separately from the respective specific fuel consumption figures over the WHSC determined for each of the two fuels separately in accordance with point 5.3.3.

Point 5.3.3.2 shall apply for Diesel fuel B7.

5.4   Correction factor for engines equipped with exhaust after-treatment systems that are regenerated on a periodic basis

For engines equipped with exhaust after-treatment systems that are regenerated on a periodic basis defined in accordance with paragraph 6.6.1 of Annex 4 to  UN Regulation No. 49, fuel consumption shall be adjusted to account for regeneration events by a correction factor.

This correction factor, CFRegPer, shall be determined in accordance with paragraph 6.6.2 of Annex 4 to  UN Regulation No. 49.

For engines equipped with exhaust after-treatment systems with continuous regeneration, defined in accordance with paragraph 6.6 of Annex 4 to  UN Regulation No. 49, no correction factor shall be determined and the value of the factor CFRegPer shall be set to 1.

The engine full load curve recorded in accordance with paragraph 4.3.1 shall be used for the denormalization of the WHTC reference cycle and all calculations of reference values performed in accordance with paragraphs 7.4.6, 7.4.7 and 7.4.8 of Annex 4 to  UN Regulation No. 49.

In addition to the provisions defined in Annex 4 to  UN Regulation No. 49 the actual fuel mass flow consumed by the engine in accordance with paragraph 3.4 shall be recorded for each WHTC hot start test performed in accordance with paragraph 6.6.2 of Annex 4 to  UN Regulation No. 49.

The specific fuel consumption for each WHTC hot start test performed shall be calculated by the following equation:

SFCmeas, m = (Σ FCmeas, m) / (Wact, m)

where:

SFCmeas, m = Specific fuel consumption [g/kWh]
--- --- ---
Σ FCmeas,m = Total fuel consumption over the WHTC [g] determined in accordance with paragraph 5.2 of this Annex
--- --- ---
Wact, m = Total engine work over the WHTC [kWh] determined in accordance with paragraph 5.1 of this Annex
--- --- ---
m = Index defining each individual WHTC hot start test
