      ANNEX 4
      
         METHOD FOR MEASURING INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE NET POWER
      
      1.   These provisions apply to the method for determining the power curve at full load of an internal combustion engine operated under intermittent speed as a function of engine speed and the rated speed and rated net power of an internal combustion engine under constant speed.
      2.   TEST CONDITIONS
      2.1.   The engine shall have been run-in according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
      2.2.   If the power measurement can be carried out only on an engine with the gearbox mounted, the efficiency of the gearbox shall be taken into account.
      2.3.   Auxiliaries and equipment
      2.3.1.   Auxiliaries and equipment to be fitted
      During the test, the auxiliaries necessary for the engine operation in the intended application (as listed in Table 1) shall be installed on the test bench as far as possible in the same position as in the intended application.
      2.3.2.   Auxiliaries and equipment to be removed
      Certain auxiliaries whose definition is linked with the operation of the machine and which may be mounted on the engine shall be removed for the test. The following non-exhaustive list is given as a sample:
      
                  (i)
               
               
                  Air compressor for brakes
               
            
                  (ii)
               
               
                  Power steering compressor
               
            
                  (iii)
               
               
                  Suspension compressor
               
            
                  (iv)
               
               
                  Air-conditioning system
               
            Where auxiliaries cannot be removed, the power they absorb in the unloaded condition may be determined and added to the measured engine power (see note h of Table 1). If this value is greater than 3 per cent of the maximum power at the test speed it may verified by the test authority.

            3.   DATA TO BE RECORDED
      3.1.   Data to be recorded are those indicated in paragraph 4 of the appendix to this annex. Performance data shall be obtained under stabilised operating conditions with an adequate fresh air supply to the engine. Combustion chambers may contain deposits, but in limited quantity. Test conditions, such as inlet air temperature, shall be selected as near to reference conditions (see paragraph 5.2 of this annex) as possible in order to minimise the magnitude of the correction factor.
      3.2.   The temperature of the inlet air to the engine shall be measured within the inlet ductwork. The inlet depression measurement shall be made at the same point. The thermometer or thermocouple shall be shielded from fuel spray-back and radiant heat and located directly in the air stream. A sufficient number of locations shall be used to give a representative average of the inlet temperature.
      3.3.   The inlet depression shall be measured downstream of the entry ducts, air filter, inlet silencer or speed-limiting device (if fitted).
      3.4.   The absolute pressure at the entry to the engine downstream of the compressor and heat exchanger, if fitted, shall be measured in the inlet manifold and at any other point where pressure has to be measured to calculate correction factors.
      3.5.   The exhaust back pressure shall be measured at a point at least three pipe diameters downstream from the outlet flange(s) of the exhaust manifold(s) and downstream at the turbocharger(s), if fitted. The location shall be specified.
      3.6.   No data shall be taken until torque, speed and temperatures have been maintained substantially constant for at least one minute.
      3.7.   The engine speed during a run or reading shall not deviate from the selected speed by more than ± 1 per cent or ± 10 min, whichever is greater.
      3.8.   Observed brake load, fuel consumption and inlet air temperature data shall be taken simultaneously and shall be the average of two stabilised consecutive values which do not vary more than 2 per cent for the brake load.
      3.9.   The temperature of the coolant at the outlet from the engine shall be kept at the value specified by the manufacturer.
      If no temperature is specified by the manufacturer, the temperature shall be 353 K ± 5 K. For air-cooled engines, the temperature at a point indicated by the manufacturer shall be kept within + 0/– 20 K of the maximum value specified by the manufacturer in the reference conditions.
      3.10.   For C.I. engines, the fuel temperature shall be measured at the inlet of the fuel injection pump and maintained within 306-316 K (33-43 °C) for positive-ignition engines the fuel temperature shall be measured as near as possible to the inlet of the carburettor or assembly of fuel injectors and maintained within 293-303 K (20-30 °C).
      3.11.   The temperature of the lubricating oil measured in the oil pump or at the outlet from the coil cooler, if fitted, shall be maintained within the limits established by the engine manufacturer.
      3.12.   An auxiliary regulating system may be used if necessary to maintain the temperatures within the limits specified in paragraphs 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11 above of this annex.
      4.   ACCURACY OF MEASUREMENTS
      4.1.   Torque: ± 1 per cent of measured torque. The torque measuring system shall be calibrated to take friction losses into account. The accuracy in the lower half of the measuring range of the dynamometer bench may be ± 2 per cent of measured torque.
      4.2.   Engine speed: 0,5 per cent of measured speed.
      4.3.   Fuel consumption: ± 1 per cent of measured consumption.
      4.4.   Fuel temperature: ± 2 K.
      4.5.   Engine inlet air temperature: ± 2 K.
      4.6.   Barometric pressure: ± 100 Pa.
      4.7.   Depression in inlet system: ± 50 Pa.
      4.8.   Back-pressure in exhaust system: ± 200 Pa.

                  ps is the total dry atmospheric pressure in kilopascals (kPa); i.e. the total barometric pressure minus water vapour pressure,
               
            
                   
               
               
                  T is the absolute temperature in kelvins (K) of the air drawn in by the engine.
               
            Conditions to be complied with in the laboratory
      For a test to be valid, the correction factor must be such that
      0,93 < αa < 1,07
      If these limits are exceeded, the corrected value obtained shall be given and the test conditions (temperature and pressure) precisely stated in the test report.
      5.4.2.   Compression-ignition engines — factor αd
      
      The power correction factor (αd) for compression-ignition engines at constant fuel rate is obtained by applying the formula:
      αd = (fa)fm
      
      where:
      
                   
               
               
                  fa is the atmospheric factor
               
            
                   
               
               
                  fm the characteristic parameter for each type of engine and adjustment
               
            5.4.2.1.   Atmospheric factor fa
      
      This factor indicates the effects of environmental conditions (pressure, temperature and humidity) on the air drawn in by the engine. The atmospheric factor formula differs according to the type of engine.
      5.4.2.1.1.   Naturally aspirated and mechanically pressure charged engines
      
         
      5.4.2.1.2.   Turbocharged engines with or without charge air cooling
      
         
      5.4.2.2.   Engine factor fm
      
      fm is a function of qc (fuel flow corrected) as follows:
      
                   
               
               
                  fm = 0,036 qc – 1,14
                  and
               
            
                   
               
               
                  qc = q/r
               
            Where:
      
                   
               
               
                  q is the fuel flow in milligram per cycle per litre of total swept volume (mg/(l.cycle))
               
            
                   
               
               
                  r is the pressure ratio of compressor outlet and compressor inlet in case of multiple turbochargers r represents the total compression ratio (r = 1 for naturally aspirated engines)
               
            This formula is valid for a value interval of qc included between 37,2 mg/(l.cycle) and 65 mg/(l.cycle).
      For qc values lower than 37,2 mg/(l.cycle), a constant value of fm equal to 0,2 (fm = 0,2) will be taken.
      For qc values higher than 65 mg/(l.cycle), a constant value of fm equal to 1,2 (fm = 1,2) will be taken (see figure):
      
         
      5.4.2.3.   Conditions to be complied with in the laboratory
      For a test to be valid, the correction factors αa must be such that
      0,93 ≤ αa ≤ 1,07
      If these limits are exceeded, the corrected value obtained shall be given and the test conditions (temperature and pressure) precisely stated in the test report.
      
         (1)  The complete inlet system shall be fitted as provided for the intended application:
      
                  (i)
               
               
                  Where there is a risk of an appreciable effect on the engine power;
               
            
                  (ii)
               
               
                  In the case of naturally aspirated spark ignition engines;
               
            
                  (iii)
               
               
                  When the manufacturer requests that this should be done.
               
            In other cases, an equivalent system may be used and a check should be made to ascertain that the intake pressure does not differ by more than 100 Pa from the upper limit specified by the manufacturer for a clean air filter.
      
         (2)  The compete exhaust system shall be fitted as provided for the intended application:
      
                  (i)
               
               
                  Where there is a risk of an appreciable effect on the engine power;
               
            
                  (ii)
               
               
                  In the case of naturally aspirated spark ignition engines;
               
            
                  (iii)
               
               
                  When the manufacturer requests that this should be done.
               
            In other cases, an equivalent system may be installed provided the pressure measured does not differ by more than 1 000 Pa from the upper limit specified by the manufacturer.
      
         (3)  If an exhaust brake is incorporated in the engine, the throttle valve shall be fixed in the fully open position.
      
         (4)  The fuel feed pressure may be adjusted, if necessary, to reproduce the pressure existing in the particular engine application (particularly when a ‘fuel return’ system is used).
      
         (5)  The cooling-liquid circulation shall be operated by the engine water pump only. Cooling of the liquid may be produced by an external circuit, such that the pressure loss of this circuit and the pressure at the pump inlet remain substantially the same as those of the engine cooling system.
      
         (6)  The thermostat may be fixed in the fully open position.
      
         (7)  When the cooling fan or blower is fitted for the test, the power absorbed shall be added to the results, except for engines where such auxiliaries are an integral part of the engine (i.e.: cooling fans of air cooled engines directly fitted on the crankshaft). The fan or blower power shall be determined at the speeds used for the test either by calculation from standard characteristics or by practical tests.
      
         (8)  Minimum power of the generator: the electrical power of the generator shall be limited to that necessary for operation of auxiliaries which are indispensable for engine operation. If the connection of a battery is necessary, a fully charged battery in good condition shall be used.
      
         (9)  Charge air-cooled engines shall be tested with charge air cooling, whether liquid- or air-cooled, but if the manufacturer prefers, a test bench system may replace the air cooler. In either case, the measurement of power at each speed shall be made with the maximum pressure drop and the minimum temperature drop of the engine air across the charge air cooler on the test bench system as those specified by the manufacturer.
      
         (10)  These may include, for example, exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR system), catalytic converter, thermal reactor, secondary air-supply system and fuel evaporation protecting system.
      
         (11)  The power for electrical or other starting systems shall be provided from the test bed.
      
         (12)  The tests may be carried out in air-conditioned test rooms where the atmospheric conditions may be controlled.
      In the case of engines fitted with automatic air temperature control, if the device is such that at full load at 25 °C no heated air is added, the test shall be carried out with the device fully closed. If the device is still operating at 25 °C then the test is made with the device operating normally and the exponent of the temperature term in the correction factor shall be taken as zero (no temperature correction).

      ANNEX 5
      
         ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ENGINE FAMILY
      
      1.   GENERAL
      An engine family is characterised by design parameters. These shall be common to all engines within the family. The engine manufacturer may decide which engines belong to an engine family, as long as the membership criteria listed in paragraph 3.1 are respected. The engine family shall be approved by the Type Approval Authority. Since the choice of the engine family has significant implications on the engine exhaust emissions, paragraph 2.1 reports additional information (03 series of amendments to Regulation No 96), useful for the manufacturer and the Type Approval Authority when evaluating the engine family and choosing the parent engine.
      2.   SPECIAL CASES
      2.1.   Interactions between parameters
      In some cases there may be interaction between parameters, which may cause emissions to change. This shall be taken into consideration to ensure that only engines with similar exhaust emission characteristics are included within the same engine family. These cases shall be identified by the manufacturer and notified to the Type Approval Authority. It shall then be taken into account as a criterion for creating a new engine family.
      2.2.   Devices or features having a strong influence on emissions
      In case of devices or features, which are not listed in paragraph 3.1 and which have a strong influence on the level of emissions, this equipment shall be identified by the manufacturer using good engineering judgment, and shall be notified to the Type Approval Authority. It shall then be taken into account as a criterion for creating a new engine family.
      2.3.   Additional criteria
      In addition to the parameters listed in paragraph 3.1, the manufacturer may introduce additional criteria allowing the definition of families of more restricted size. These parameters are not necessarily parameters that have an influence on the level of emissions.

      The electronic governing of speed does not need to be in a different family from those with mechanical governing. The need to separate electronic engines from mechanical engines should only apply to the fuel injection characteristics, such as timing, pressure, rate shape, etc.
      3.12.   Exhaust after-treatment systems
      The function and combination of the following devices are regarded as membership criteria for an engine family:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  Oxidation catalyst;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  DeNOx system with selective reduction of NOx (addition of reducing agent);
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  Other DeNOx systems;
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  Particulate trap with passive regeneration;
               
            
                  (e)
               
               
                  Particulate trap with active regeneration;
               
            
                  (f)
               
               
                  Other particulate traps;
               
            
                  (g)
               
               
                  Other devices.
               
            When an engine has been certified without an after-treatment system, whether as a parent engine or as a member of the family, then this engine, when equipped with an oxidation catalyst (not with particulate trap), may be included in the same engine family, if it does not require different fuel characteristics.
      If it requires specific fuel characteristics (e.g. particulate traps requiring special fuel additives to ensure the regeneration process), the decision to include it in the same family shall be based on technical elements provided by the manufacturer. These elements shall indicate that the expected emission level of the equipped engine complies with the same limit value as the non-equipped engine.
      When an engine has been certified with an after-treatment system, whether as a parent engine or as a member of a family, where the parent engine is equipped with the same after-treatment system, then this engine, when equipped without an after-treatment system, shall not be added to the same engine family.
