                 Subpart G_Special Compliance Provisions

 

Sec.  1039.645  What special provisions apply to engines used for 

transportation refrigeration units?



    Manufacturers may choose to use the provisions of this section for 

engines used in transportation refrigeration units (TRUs). The operating 

restrictions and characteristics in paragraph (f) of this section define 

engines that are not used in TRUs. All provisions of this part apply for 

TRU engines, except as specified in this section.

    (a) You may certify engines under this section with the following 

special provisions:

    (1) The engines are not subject to the transient emission standards 

of subpart B of this part.

    (2) The steady-state emission standards in subpart B of this part 

apply for emissions measured over the steady-state test cycle described 

in paragraph (b) of this section instead of the otherwise applicable 

duty cycle described in Sec.  1039.505.

    (b) Measure steady-state emissions using the procedures specified in 

Sec.  1039.505, except for the duty cycles, as follows:

    (1) The following duty cycle applies for discrete-mode testing:

\1\ Speed terms are defined in 40 CFR part 1065.

\2\ The percent torque is relative to the maximum torque at the given

  engine speed.



    (2) The following duty cycle applies for ramped-modal testing:

4 Steady-state......................             290  Maximum Test Speed.....  50

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ Speed terms are defined in 40 CFR part 1065.

\2\ The percent torque is relative to the maximum torque at the commanded engine speed.

\3\ Advance from one mode to the next within a 20-second transition phase. During the transition phase, command

  a linear progression from the torque setting of the current mode to the torque setting of the next mode, and

  simultaneously command a similar linear progression for engine speed if there is a change in speed setting.



    (c) Engines certified under this section must be certified in a 

separate engine family that contains only TRU engines.

    (d) You must do the following for each engine certified under this 

section:

    (1) State on the emission control information label: ``THIS ENGINE 

IS CERTIFIED TO OPERATE ONLY IN TRANSPORTATION REFRIGERATION UNITS. 

INSTALLING OR USING THIS ENGINE IN ANY OTHER APPLICATION MAY BE A 

VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW SUBJECT TO CIVIL PENALTY.''.

    (2) State in the emission-related installation instructions all 

steps necessary to ensure that the engine will operate only in the modes 

covered by the test cycle described in this section.

    (3) Keep records to document the destinations and quantities of 

engines produced under this section.

    (e) All engines certified under this section must comply with NTE 

standards, as described in Sec.  1039.101 or



[[Page 526]]



Sec.  1039.102 for the applicable model year, except that the NTE 

standards are not limited with respect to operating speeds and loads. In 

your application for certification, certify that all the engines in the 

engine family comply with the not-to-exceed emission standards for all 

normal operation and use. The deficiency provisions of Sec.  1039.104(d) 

do not apply to these engines. This paragraph (e) applies whether or not 

the engine would otherwise be subject to NTE standards.

    (f) An engine is not considered to be used in a TRU if any of the 

following is true:

    (1) The engine is installed in any equipment other than 

refrigeration units for railcars, truck trailers, or other freight 

vehicles.

    (2) The engine operates in any mode not covered by the test cycle 

described in this section, except as follows:

    (i) The engine may operate briefly at idle. Note, however, that TRU 

engines must meet NTE emission standards under any type of operation, 

including idle, as described in paragraph (e) of this section.

    (ii) The engine may have a minimal amount of transitional operation 

between two allowable modes. As an example, a thirty-second transition 

period would clearly not be considered minimal.

    (iii) The engine as installed may experience up to a 2-percent 

decrease in load at a given setpoint over any 10-minute period, and up 

to a 15-percent decrease in load at a given setpoint over any 60-minute 

period.

    (3) The engine is sold in a configuration that allows the engine to 

operate in any mode not covered by the test cycle described in this 

section. For example, this section does not apply to an engine sold 

without a governor limiting operation only to those modes covered by the 

test cycle described in this section.

    (4) The engine is subject to Tier 3 or earlier standards, or phase-

out Tier 4 standards.
