Sec. 1048.505 How do I test engines using steady-state duty cycles,
including ramped-modal testing?
This section describes how to test engines under steady-state
conditions. In some cases, we allow you to choose the appropriate
steady-state duty cycle for an engine. In these cases, you must use the
duty cycle you select in your application for certification for all
testing you perform for that engine family. If we test your engines to
confirm that they meet emission standards, we will use the duty cycles
you select for your own testing. We may also perform other testing as
allowed by the Clean Air Act.
(a) You may perform steady-state testing with either discrete-mode
or ramped-modal cycles, as follows:
(1) For discrete-mode testing, sample emissions separately for each
mode, then calculate an average emission level for the whole cycle using
the weighting factors specified for each mode. Calculate cycle
statistics for the sequence of modes and compare with the specified
values in 40 CFR 1065.514 to confirm that the test is valid. Operate the
engine and sampling system as follows:
(i) Engines with lean NOX aftertreatment. For lean-burn engines that
depend on aftertreatment to meet the NOX emission standard,
operate the engine for 5-6 minutes, then sample emissions for 1-3
minutes in each mode.
(ii) Engines without lean NOX aftertreatment. For other engines,
operate the engine for at least 5 minutes, then sample emissions for at
least 1 minute in each mode. Calculate cycle statistics for the sequence
of modes and compare with the specified values in 40 CFR part 1065 to
confirm that the test is valid.
(2) For ramped-modal testing, start sampling at the beginning of the
first mode and continue sampling until the end of the last mode.
Calculate emissions and cycle statistics the same as for transient
testing.
(b) Measure emissions by testing the engine on a dynamometer with
one or more of the following sets of duty cycles to determine whether it
meets the steady-state emission standards in Sec. 1048.101(b):
(1) For engines from an engine family that will be used only in
variable-speed applications, use one of the following duty cycles:
(i) The following duty cycle applies for discrete-mode testing:
