The electric drive train shall be equipped as specified in Annex 6 to this Regulation. The electric drive train shall be supplied from a DC voltage source with a maximum voltage drop of 5 per cent depending on time and current (periods of less than 10 seconds excluded). The supply voltage of the test shall be given by the vehicle manufacturer.

Note:

If the battery limits the maximum 30 minutes power, the maximum 30 minutes power of an electric vehicle can be less than the maximum 30 minutes power of the drive train of the vehicle according to this test.

5.3.1.   Determination of the net power

5.3.1.1.

The motor and its entire equipment assembly must be conditioned at a temperature of 25 °C ± 5 °C for a minimum of two hours.

5.3.1.2.

The net power test shall consist of a run at full setting of the power controller.

5.3.1.3.

Just before beginning the test, the motor shall be run on the bench for three minutes delivering a power equal to 80 per cent of the maximum power at the speed recommended by the manufacturer.

5.3.1.4.

Measurements shall be taken at a sufficient number of motor speeds to define correctly the power curve between zero and the highest motor speed recommended by the manufacturer. The whole test shall be completed within 5 minutes.

5.3.2.   Determination of the maximum 30 minutes power

5.3.2.1.

The motor and its entire equipment assembly must be conditioned at a temperature of 25 °C ± 5 °C for a minimum of four hours.

5.3.2.2.

The electric drive train shall run at the bench at a power which is the best estimate of the manufacturer for the maximum 30 minutes power. The speed must be in a speed range, which the net power is greater than 90 per cent of the maximum power as measured in paragraph 5.3.1. This speed shall be recommended by the manufacturer.

5.3.2.3.

Speed and power shall be recorded. The power must be in a range of ± 5 per cent of the power value at the start of the test. The maximum 30 minutes power is the average of the power within the 30 minutes period.

5.4.   Interpretation of results

The net power and the maximum 30 minutes power for electric drive trains indicated by the manufacturer for the type of drive train shall be accepted if it does not differ by more than ± 2 per cent for maximum power and more than ± 4 per cent at the other measurement points on the curve with a tolerance of ± 2 per cent for engine or motor speed, or within the engine or motor speed range (X1 min–1 + 2 per cent) to (X2 min–1 – 2 per cent) (X1 < X2) from the values measured by the technical service on the drive train submitted for testing.

In case of a dual-fuel engine, the net power indicated by the manufacturer shall be the one measured on the dual-fuel mode of that engine.

6.   CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION

5.   POWER CORRECTION FACTORS

5.1.   Definition

The power correction factor is the coefficient L determine the engine power under the reference atmospheric conditions specified in paragraph 5.2 below.

Where

Formula

Po is the corrected power (i.e. power under reference atmospheric conditions)

L is the correction factor (La or Ld)

P is the measured power (test power)

5.2.   Reference atmospheric conditions

5.2.1.   Temperature (To): 298 K (25 °C)

5.2.2.   Dry pressure (Pso): 99 kPa

Note: The dry pressure is based on a total pressure of 100 kPa and a water vapour pressure of 1 kPa.

5.3.   Test atmospheric conditions

The atmospheric conditions during the test shall be the following:

5.3.1.   Temperature (T)

For positive-ignition engines

288 K ≤ T ≤ 308 K

For diesel engines

283 K ≤ T ≤ 313 K

5.3.2.   Pressure (Ps)

80 kPa ≤ Ps ≤ 110 kPa

5.4.   Determination of correction factor αa and αd (10)

5.4.1.   Naturally aspirated or pressure-charged positive-ignition engine factor αa

The correction factor αa is obtained by applying the formula:

Formula
 (11)

Where

Ps is the total dry atmospheric pressure in kilopascals (kPa); that is to say, 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 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.

5.4.2.   Diesel engines — Factor αd

The power correction factor (αd) for diesel engines at constant fuel rate is obtained by applying the formula:

Where αd = (fa) fm

fa is the atmospheric factor

fm is 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 supercharged engines

Formula

5.4.2.1.2.   Turbocharged engines with or without cooling of inlet air

Formula

5.4.2.2.   Engine factor fm

fm is a function of qc (fuel flow corrected) as follows:

fm = 0,036 qc – 1,14

Where: 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 (r = 1 for naturally aspirated engines)

This formula is valid for a value interval of qc included between 40 mg/(l.cycle) and 65 mg/(l.cycle.)

For qc values lower than 40 mg/(l.cycle), a constant value of fm equal to 0,3 (fm = 0,3) 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):

Image 7

5.4.2.3.   Conditions to be complied with in the laboratory

For a test to be valid; the correction factor αd must be such that 0,9 ≤ αd ≤ 1,1

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)  

(1a)

The complete intake system shall be fitted as provided for the intended application:

Where there is a risk of an appreciable effect on the engine power;

In the case of two-stroke and positive-ignition engines;

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 limit specified by the manufacturer for a clean air filter.

(2)  

(1b)

The complete exhaust system shall be fitted as provided for the intended application:

Where there is a risk of an appreciable effect on the engine power;

In the case of two-stroke and positive-ignition engines;

When the manufacturer requests that this should be done.

In other cases, an equivalent system may be installed provided the pressure measured at the exit of the engine exhaust system does not differ by more than 1 000 Pa from that specified by the manufacturer.

The exit from the engine exhaust system is defined as a point 150 mm downstream from the termination of the part of the exhaust system mounted on the engine.

(1)  If an exhaust brake is incorporated in the engine, the throttle valve must be fixed in a fully open position.

(2)  The fuel feed pressure may be adjusted, if necessary, to reproduce the pressures existing in the particular engine application (particularly when a ‘fuel return’ system is used).

(3)  The air intake valve is the control valve for the pneumatic governor of the injection pump. The governor of the fuel injection equipment may contain other devices which may affect the amount of injected fuel.

(4)  The radiator, the fan, the fan cowl, the water pump and the thermostat shall be located on the test bench in the same relative positions as on the vehicle. The cooling liquid circulation shall be operated by the engine water pump only.

Cooling of the liquid may be produced either by the engine radiator or by an external circuit, provided 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. The radiator shutter, if incorporated, shall be in the open position.

Where the fan, radiator and cowl system cannot conveniently be fitted to the engine, the power absorbed by the fan when separately mounted in its correct position in relation to the radiator and cowl (if used), must be determined at the speeds corresponding to the engine speeds used for measurement of the engine power either by calculation from standard characteristics or by practical tests. This power, corrected to the standard atmospheric conditions (293,2 K (20 °C) and 101,3 kPa), should be deducted from the corrected power.

(5)  Where a disconnectable or progressive fan or blower is incorporated, the test shall be made with the disconnectable fan (or blower) disconnected or with the progressive fan or blower running at maximum slip.

(6)  The thermostat may be fixed in the fully open position.

(7)  Minimum power of the generator: the power of the generator shall be limited to that necessary for the operation of accessories which are indispensable for the operation of the engine. If the connection of a battery is necessary, a fully charged battery in good order must be used.

(8)  Charge air cooled engines shall be tested with charge air cooling, whether liquid or air cooled, but if the engine manufacturer prefers, a test bench system may replace the air cooled cooler. In either case, the measurement of power at each speed shall be made with the same pressure drop and temperature drop of the engine air across the charge air cooler on the test bench system as those specified by the manufacturer for the system on the complete vehicle.

(9)  They may include, for example, EGR (Exhaust gas recirculation) system, catalytic convertor, thermal reactor, secondary air supply system and fuel evaporation protecting system.

(10)  The tests may be carried out in air-conditioned test rooms where the atmospheric conditions may be controlled.

(11)  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).

2.4.   Setting conditions

The setting conditions shall conform to the manufacturer’s specifications for the production motor and be used without further alteration for the particular application.

2.5.   Data to be recorded

2.5.1.   The test for determining the net power shall be carried out with the accelerator control set at the maximum position.

2.5.2.   The motor must have been run-in in accordance with the recommendations of the applicant for the approval.

2.5.3.   Torque and speed data shall be recorded simultaneously.

2.5.4.   If needed, the cooling liquid temperature recorded at the motor outlet must be maintained at ± 5 K of the thermostat temperature setting specified by the manufacturer.

For air cooling drive trains, the temperature at a point indicated by the manufacturer shall be kept within + 0/– 20 K of the maximum value specified by the manufacturer.

2.5.5.   The temperature of the lubricating oil measured in the oil sump or at the outlet from the oil temperature exchanger (if any) shall be maintained within the limits prescribed by the manufacturer.

2.5.6.   An auxiliary regulating system may be used, if necessary, to maintain the temperature within the limits specified in paragraphs 2.5.4 and 2.5.5 above.

3.   ACCURACY OF MEASUREMENTS

3.1.   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.

3.2.   Motor speed: 0,5 per cent of measured speed.

3.3.   Motor inlet air temperature: ± 2 K.


(1)  The radiator, the fan, the fan cowl, the water pump and the thermostat shall be located on the test bench in the same relative position as on the vehicle. The cooling-liquid circulation shall be activated by the drive train water pump only.

Cooling of the liquid may be produced either by the drive train radiator, or by an external circuit, provided that the pressure loss of this circuit and the pressure at the pump inlet remain substantially the same as those of the drive train cooling system. The radiator shutter, if any, shall be in the open position.

Where the fan, radiator and fan cowl cannot conveniently be fitted for the bench test, the power absorbed by the fan when separately mounted in its correct position in relation to the radiator and cowl (if used), shall be determined at the speed corresponding to the motor speeds used for measurement of the motor power either by calculation from standard characteristics or by practical tests. This power, corrected to the standard atmospheric conditions should be deducted from the correct power.

(2)  Where a disconnectable or progressive fan or blower is incorporated, the test should be carried out with the disconnectable fan (or blower) disconnected or at maximum slip condition.

(3)  The thermostat may be fixed in the fully open position.


ANNEX 7

CHECKS ON CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION

1.   GENERAL

These requirements are consistent with tests to be held to check conformity of production, according to paragraph 6 and its subparagraphs.

2.   TEST PROCEDURES

The methods of testing and measuring instruments shall be those described in Annexes 5 or 6 to this Regulation.

3.   COLLECTION OF SAMPLES

One drive train has to be chosen. If after the test of paragraph 5.1 below, the drive train is not considered as conforming to the requirements of this Regulation, two more drive trains have to be tested.

4.   MEASUREMENT CRITERIA

4.1.   Net power of internal combustion engine

During the tests to verify conformity of production, the power shall be measured at two engine speeds S1 and S2, corresponding respectively to the measurement points of maximum power and maximum torque accepted for type approval. At these two engine speeds, which are subject to a tolerance of ± 5 per cent, the net power measured at least one point within the ranges S1 ± 5 per cent and S2 ± 5 per cent shall not differ by more than ± 5 per cent from the approval figure.

4.2.   Net power and maximum 30 minutes power of electric drive trains

During the tests to verify conformity of production the power shall be measured at motor speed S1 corresponding to the measurement point of maximum power accepted for type approval. At this speed, the net power shall not differ by more than ± 5 per cent from the approval figure.

5.   EVALUATION OF RESULTS

5.1.   If the net power and the maximum 30 minutes power of the drive train tested pursuant to paragraph 2 above fulfils the requirement of paragraph 4 above, the production is considered to conform to the type approval.

5.2.   If the requirements of paragraph 4 above are not fulfilled, two more drive trains are tested in the same way.

5.3.   If the net power figure or the maximum 30 minutes power of the second and/or third drive train of paragraph 5.2 above does not fulfil the requirements of paragraph 4 above, the production shall be considered not to conform to the requirements of this Regulation and the provisions of paragraph 7.1 of this Regulation shall be put into effect.
