INTRODUCTION      1.1. This Annex describes the method of determining emissions of gaseous pollutants from the engines to be tested.           1.2. The test shall be carried out with the engine mounted on a test bench and connected to a dynamometer.         2. MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE  The gaseous emissions from the exhaust of the engine include hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen. During a prescribed sequence of warmed-up-engine operating conditions the amounts of the above gases in the exhaust shall be examined continuously. The prescribed sequence of operations consists of a number of speed and power modes which span the typical operating range of diesel engines. During each mode the concentration of each pollutant, exhaust flow and power output shall be determined and the measured values weighted and used to calculate the grams of each pollutant emitted per kilowatt hour, as described in this Annex.       3. EQUIPMENT      3.1. Dynamometer and engine equipment  The following equipment shall be used for emission tests of engines on engine dynamometers:        3.1.1. an engine dynamometer with adequate characteristics to perform the test cycle described in section 4.1;               3.1.2. measuring instruments for speed, torque, fuel consumption, air consumption, temperature of coolant and lubricant, exhaust gas pressure and inlet manifold depression, exhaust gas temperature, air inlet temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity and fuel temperature. The accuracy of these instruments shall satisfy the EEC method of measuring the power of the internal combustion engines of road vehicles;               3.1.3. an engine cooling system with sufficient capacity to maintain the engine at normal operating temperatures for the duration of the prescribed engine tests;               3.1.4. a non-insulated and uncooled exhaust system extending at least 0,5 metres past the point where the exhaust probe is located, and presenting an exhaust backpressure within ± 650 Pa (± 5 mm Hg) of the upper limit at the maximum rated power, as established by the engine manufacturer's sale and service literature for vehicle application;               3.1.5. an engine air inlet system presenting an air inlet restriction within ± 300 Pa (30 mm H2O) of the upper limit for the engine operating condition which results in maximum air flow, as established by the engine manufacturer for an air cleaner, for the engine being tested.             3.2. Analytical and sampling equipment  The system shall comprise one HFID analyser for the measurement of the unburned hydrocarbons (HC), and NDIR analyser for measurement of carbon monoxide (CO) and a CLA, HCLA or equivalent analyser for measurement of oxides of nitrogen (NOx). Due to the heavy hydrocarbons present in the diesel exhaust, the HFID system shall be heated and maintained at a temperature of 453 to 473 K (180 to 200 °C).  The accuracy of the analysers shall be ± 2,5 % of full-scale deflection or better. The scale of measurement of the analysers shall be selected appropriately in relation to the values measured.           3.3. Gases        3.3.1. The system must be free of gas leaks. The design and materials used must be such that the system does not influence the pollutant concentration in the exhaust gas. The following gases may be used: >PIC FILE= "T0046222">               3.4. Support gases        3.4.1. The following gases must be available if necessary for operation:       3.4.2.  >PIC FILE= "T0046223">        3.4.3.  >PIC FILE= "T0046224">        3.4.4.  >PIC FILE= "T0046225">        3.4.5.  >PIC FILE= "T0046226">              3.5. Calibration gases        3.5.1. The true concentration of a calibration gas must be within ± 2 % of the stated figure.               3.5.2. The gases used for calibration may also be obtained by means of a gas divider, diluting with purified N2 or with purified synthetic air. The accuracy of the mixing device must be such that the concentrations of the diluted calibration gases may be determined to within ± 2 %.  Annex V describes the analytical systems in current use. Other systems or analysers which have proved to give equivalent results may be used.           4. TEST PROCEDURE      4.1. Test cycle  The following 13-mode cycle shall be followed in dynamometer operation on the test engine: >PIC FILE= "T0046227">            4.2. Measurement of exhaust gas flow  For calculation of the emission it is necessary to know the exhaust gas flow (see section 4.8.1.1). For determination of exhaust flow either of the following methods may be used:        (a) Direct measurement of the exhaust flow by flow nozzle or equivalent metering system;               (b) Measurement of the air flow and the fuel flow by suitable metering systems and calculation of the exhaust flow by the following equations: >PIC FILE= "T0046228">     The accuracy of exhaust flow determination shall be ± 2,5 % or better. The concentration of carbon monoxide and nitric oxide are measured in the dry exhaust. For this reason the CO and NOx emissions shall be calculated using the dry exhaust gas volume V'EXH. However in the case of an analytical system with heated sampling line, the NOx emissions shall be calculated using the wet exhaust gas volume V"EXH. If the exhaust mass flow rate (GEXH) is used in the calculation the CO and NOx concentrations shall be related to the wet exhaust. Calculation of the HC emission shall include GEXH and V"EXH according to the measuring method used.            4.3. Operating procedure for analysers and sampling system  The operating procedure for analysers shall follow the start-up and operating instructions of the instrument manufacturer. The following minimum requirements shall be included.        4.3.1. Calibration procedure  The calibration procedure shall be carried out within one month preceding the emission test. The instrument assembly shall be calibrated and calibration curves checked against standard gases. The same gas flow rates shall be used as when sampling exhaust.          4.3.1.1. A minimum of two hours shall be allowed for warming up the analysers.                   4.3.1.2. A system leakage test shall be performed. The probe shall be disconnected from the exhaust system and the end plugged. The analyser pump shall be switched on. After an initial stabilization period all flow meters and pressure gauges should read zero. If not, the sampling line(s) shall be checked and the fault corrected.                   4.3.1.3. The NDIR analyser shall be tuned, where appropriate, and the flame combustion of the HFID analyser optimized.                   4.3.1.4. Using purified dry air (or nitrogen), the CO and NOx analysers shall be set at zero ; dry air shall be purified for the HC analyser. Using appropriate calibrating gases, the analysers shall be reset.                   4.3.1.5. The zero setting shall be rechecked and the procedure described in section 4.3.1.4 above repeated, if necessary.                 4.3.2. Establishment of the calibration curve          4.3.2.1. The analyser calibration curve is established by at least five calibration points spaced as uniformly as possible. The nominal concentration of the calibration gas of the highest concentration must be not less than 80 % of the full scale.                   4.3.2.2. The calibration curve is calculated by the least square method.  If the resulting polynominal degree is greater than 3, the number of calibration points must be at least equal to this polynominal degree plus 2.                   4.3.2.3. The calibration curve must not differ by more than 2 %, from the nominal value of each calibration gas.                   4.3.2.4. Trace of the calibration curve  From the trace of the calibration curve and the calibration points, it is possible to verify that the calibration has been carried out correctly. The different characteristic parameters of the analyser must be indicated, particularly:            - the scale,                       - the sensitivity,                       - the zero point,                       - the date of carrying out the calibration.                     4.3.2.5. If it can be shown to the satisfaction of the technical service that alternative technology (e.g. computer, electronically controlled range switch, etc.) can give equivalent accuracy, then these alternatives may be used.                 4.3.3. Efficiency test of the NOx converter          4.3.3.1. The efficiency of the converter used for the conversion of NOx into NO is tested as follows.                   4.3.3.2. Using the test set up as shown at the end of this Annex and the procedure below, the efficiency of converters can be tested by means of an ozonator.                   4.3.3.3. Calibrate the CLA in the most common operating range following the manufacturer's specifications using zero and span gas (the NO content of which must amount to about 80 % of the operating range and the NO2 concentration of the gas mixture to less than 5 % of the NO concentration). The NOx analyser must be in the NO mode so that the span gas does not pass through the converter. Record the indicated concentration.                   4.3.3.4. Via a T-fitting, oxygen is added continously to the gas flow until the concentration indicated is about 10 % less than the indicated calibration concentration given in section 4.3.3.3. Record the indicated concentration (c). The ozonator is kept deactivated throughout the process.                   4.3.3.5. The ozonator is now activated to generate enough ozone to bring the NO concentration down to 20 % (minimum 10 %) of the calibration concentration given in 4.3.3.3. Record the indicated concentration (d).                   4.3.3.6. The NO analyser is then switched to the NOx mode which means that the gas mixture (consisting of NO, NO2, O2 and N2) now passes through the converter. Record the indicated concentration (a).                   4.3.3.7. The ozonator is now deactivated. The mixture of gases described in section 4.3.3.4 passes through the converter into the detector. Record the indicated concentration (b).                    4.3.3.8. With the ozonator deactivated, the flow of oxygen is also shut off. The NO reading of the analyser must then be no more than 5 % above the figure given in section 4.3.3.3.                   4.3.3.9. The efficiency of the NOx converter is calculated as follows: >PIC FILE= "T0046229">                    4.3.3.10. The efficiency of the converter must be tested prior to each calibration of the NOx analyser.                   4.3.3.11. The efficiency of the converter must not be less than 90 %.  NB:  If the analyser operating range is above the highest range that the NOx generator can operate to give a reduction from 80 to 20 %, then the highest range the NOx generator will operate on will be used.                 4.3.4. Pre-test checks  A minimum of two hours shall be allowed for warming up the infra-red NDIR analysers, but it is preferable that power be left on continuously in the analysers. The chopper motors may be turned off when not in use.          4.3.4.1. The HC analyser shall be set at zero on dry air or nitrogen and a stable zero obtained on the amplifier meter and recorder.                   4.3.4.2. Span gas shall be introduced and the gain set to match the calibration curve. The same flow rate shall be used for calibration, span and exhaust sampling to avoid correction for sample cell pressure.

Fuel  The fuel shall be the reference fuel specified in Annex IV.           4.5. Engine test conditions        4.5.1. The absolute temperature (T) of the engine air inlet expressed in kelvins and the dry atmospheric pressure (ps) expressed in kilopascals shall be measured and the parameter F shall be determined by the formula: >PIC FILE= "T0046230">                4.5.2. For a test to be recognized as valid, the parameter F shall be such that: >PIC FILE= "T0046231">              4.6. Test run  During each mode of the test cycle the specified speed shall be held to within ± 50 rpm and the specified torque shall be held to within ± 2 % of the maximum torque at the test speed. The fuel temperature at the injection pump inlet shall be 306 to 316 K (33 to 43 °C). The governor and fuel system shall be adjusted as established by the manufacturer's sales and service literature. The following steps shall be taken for each test:        4.6.1. instrumentation and sample probes shall be installed as required;               4.6.2. the cooling system shall be started;               4.6.3. the engine shall be started and warmed up until all temperatures and pressures have reached equilibrium;               4.6.4. the torque curve at full load shall be determined by experimentation to calculate the torque values for the specified test modes ; the maximum permissible power absorbed by engine-driven equipment, declared by the manufacturer to be applicable to the engine type, shall be taken into account. The dynamometer setting for each engine speed and load shall be calculated using the formula: >PIC FILE= "T0046232">    where  s = dynamometer setting, Pmin = minimum net engine power as indicated in line (e) in the table of section 7.2 in Appendix I to Annex II, L = per cent load as indicated in section 4.1 of this Annex, Paux = total permissible power absorbed by engine driven equipment minus the power of any such equipment actually driven by the engine : (d) - (b) of section 7.2 of Appendix 1 to Annex II;               4.6.5. the emission analysers shall be set at zero and spanned;               4.6.6. the test sequence shall be started (see section 4.1). The engine shall be operated for six minutes in each mode, completing engine speed and load changes in the first minute. The responses of the analysers shall be recorded on a strip chart recorder for the full six minutes with exhaust gas flowing through the analysers at least during the last three minutes. The engine speed and load, intake air temperature and depression exhaust temperature and back pressure, fuel flow and air of exhaust flow shall be recorded during the last five minutes of each mode, with the speed and load requirements being met during the last minute of each mode;               4.6.7. any additional data required for calculation shall be read and recorded (see section 4.7);               4.6.8. the zero and span settings of the emission analysers shall be checked and reset, as required, at least at the end of the test. The test shall be considered satisfactory if the adjustment necessary after the test does not exceed the accuracy of the analysers prescribed in section 3.2.            4.7. Chart reading  The last 60 seconds of each mode shall be located, and the average chart reading for HC, CO and NOx over this period shall be determined. The concentration of HC, CO and NOx during each mode shall be determined from the average chart readings and the corresponding calibration data. However a different type of registration can be used if it ensures an equivalent data acquisition.           4.8. Calculations        4.8.1. The final reported test results shall be derived through the following steps:          4.8.1.1. the exhaust gas mass flow rate GEXH or V'EXH and V"EXH shall be determined (see section 4.2) for each mode;                   4.8.1.2. when applying GEXH the measured carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen concentration shall be converted to a wet basis according to Annex VI. However in the case of an analytical system with heated sampling line, the NOx emissions shall hot be converted according to Annex VI;                   4.8.1.3. the NOx concentration shall be corrected according to Annex VII;                   4.8.1.4.   >PIC FILE= "T9001517">           4.8.2.
