2.5.   Diluted Exhaust Flow (CVS) Calibration and Related Calculations

The CVS system shall be calibrated by using an accurate flowmeter and a restricting device. The flow through the system shall be measured at different restriction settings, and the control parameters of the system shall be measured and related to the flow.

Various types of flowmeters may be used, e.g. calibrated venturi, calibrated laminar flowmeter, calibrated turbine meter.

2.5.1.   Positive displacement pump (PDP)

All the parameters related to the pump shall be simultaneously measured along with the parameters related to a calibration venturi which is connected in series with the pump. The calculated flow rate (in m3/s at pump inlet, absolute pressure and temperature) shall be plotted versus a correlation function which is the value of a specific combination of pump parameters. The linear equation which relates the pump flow and the correlation function shall be determined. If a CVS has a multiple speed drive, the calibration shall be performed for each range used.

Temperature stability shall be maintained during calibration.

Leaks in all the connections and ducting between the calibration venturi and the CVS pump shall be maintained lower than 0,3 % of the lowest flow point (highest restriction and lowest PDP speed point).

The airflow rate (qV CVS) at each restriction setting (minimum 6 settings) shall be calculated in standard m3/s from the flowmeter data using the manufacturer's prescribed method. The airflow rate shall then be converted to pump flow (V 0) in m3/rev at absolute pump inlet temperature and pressure by means of equation (7-69):

Image omitted; see official source (7-69)

where:

qV CVS = airflow rate at standard conditions (101,325 kPa, 273,15 K) [m3/s]
--- --- ---
T = temperature at pump inlet [K]
--- --- ---
p p = absolute pressure at pump inlet [kPa]
--- --- ---
n = pump speed [rev/s]

To account for the interaction of pressure variations at the pump and the pump slip rate, the correlation function (X 0) [s/rev] between pump speed, pressure differential from pump inlet to pump outlet and absolute pump outlet pressure shall be calculated by means of equation (7-70):

Image omitted; see official source (7-70)

Where:

| | | |

| --- | --- | --- | | Δp p | = | pressure differential from pump inlet to pump outlet [kPa] | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | p p | = | absolute outlet pressure at pump outlet [kPa] | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | n | = | pump speed [rev/s] |

A linear least-square fit shall be performed to generate the calibration by means of equation (7-71):

V 0 = D 0 –m · X 0 (7-71)

with D 0 [m3/rev] and m [m3/s], intercept and slope respectively, describing the regression line.

For a CVS system with multiple speeds, the calibration curves generated for the different pump flow ranges shall be approximately parallel, and the intercept values (D 0) shall increase as the pump flow range decreases.

The calculated values from the equation shall be within ± 0,5 % of the measured value of V

0.

Values of m will vary from one pump to another. Particulate influx over time will cause the pump slip to decrease, as reflected by lower values for m. Therefore, calibration shall be performed at pump start-up, after major maintenance, and if the total system verification indicates a change of the slip rate.

2.5.2.   Critical flow venturi (CFV)

Calibration of the CFV is based upon the flow equation for a critical venturi. Gas flow is a function of venturi inlet pressure and temperature.

To determine the range of critical flow, K

V shall be plotted as a function of venturi inlet pressure. For critical (choked) flow, K V will have a relatively constant value. As pressure decreases (vacuum increases), the venturi becomes unchoked and K V decreases, which indicates that the CFV is operated outside the permissible range.

The airflow rate (qV CVS) at each restriction setting (minimum 8 settings) shall be calculated in standard m3/s from the flowmeter data using the manufacturer's prescribed method. The calibration coefficient K V

Image omitted; see official source shall be calculated from the calibration data for each setting by means of equation (7-72):

Image omitted; see official source (7-72)

Where:

qV SSV = air flow rate at standard conditions (101,325 kPa, 273,15 K) [m3/s]
--- --- ---
T = temperature at the venturi inlet [K]
--- --- ---
p p = absolute pressure at venturi inlet [kPa]

The average K V and the standard deviation shall be calculated. The standard deviation shall not exceed ± 0,3 % of the average K V.

2.5.3.   Subsonic venturi (SSV)

Calibration of the SSV is based upon the flow equation for a subsonic venturi. Gas flow is a function of inlet pressure and temperature, pressure drop between the SSV inlet and throat, as shown in equation (7-40).

The airflow rate (qV SSV) at each restriction setting (minimum 16 settings) shall be calculated in standard m3/s from the flowmeter data using the manufacturer's prescribed method. The discharge coefficient shall be calculated from the calibration data for each setting by means of equation (7-73):

Image omitted; see official source (7-73)

Where:

A 0 = collection of constants and units conversions Image omitted; see official source
--- --- ---
qV SSV = air flow rate at standard conditions (101,325 kPa, 273,15 K) [m3/s]

--- --- ---
d V = diameter of the SSV throat [mm]
--- --- ---
r p = ratio of the SSV throat to inlet absolute static pressure = 1 – Δp/p p [-]
--- --- ---
r D = ratio of the SSV throat diameter, d V, to the inlet pipe inner diameter D [-]

To determine the range of subsonic flow, C d shall be plotted as a function of Reynolds number Re, at the SSV throat. The Re at the SSV throat shall be calculated by means of equation (7-74):

Image omitted; see official source (7-74)

Because qV SSV is an input to the Re equation, the calculations shall be started with an initial guess for qV SSV or C d of the calibration venturi, and repeated until qV SSV converges. The convergence method shall be accurate to 0,1 % of point or better.

For a minimum of sixteen points in the region of subsonic flow, the calculated values of C d from the resulting calibration curve fit equation shall be within ± 0,5 % of the measured C d for each calibration point.

2.6.   Drift Correction

2.6.1.   General procedure

The calculations in this section shall be performed to determine if gas analyzer drift invalidates the results of a test interval. If drift does not invalidate the results of a test interval, the test interval's gas analyzer responses shall be corrected for drift in accordance with point 2.6.2. The drift-corrected gas analyzer responses shall be used in all subsequent emission calculations. The acceptable threshold for gas analyzer drift over a test interval is specified in point 8.2.2.2 of Annex VI.

3.3.3.   Fuel properties

The general chemical formula of fuel is CHαOβSγNδ with α atomic hydrogen-to-carbon ratio (H/C), β atomic oxygen-to-carbon ratio (O/C), γ atomic sulphur-to-carbon ratio (S/C) and δ atomic nitrogen-to-carbon ratio (N/C). Based on this formula the carbon mass fraction of fuel w C can be calculated. In case of diesel fuel the simple formula CHαOβ may be used. Default values for fuel composition may be derived from Table 7.3:

Table 7.3

Default values of atomic hydrogen-to-carbon ratio, α, atomic oxygen-to-carbon ratio, β, atomic sulphur-to-carbon ratio, γ, atomic nitrogen-to-carbon ratio, δ, and carbon mass fraction of fuel, w C for reference fuels

3.3.3.1.   Calculation of carbon mass concentration wC

As an alternative to the default values in Table 7.3, or where default values are not given for the reference fuel being used, the carbon mass concentration w C may be calculated from measured fuel properties by means of equation (7-82). Values for α and β shall be determined for the fuel and inserted into the equation in all cases, but γ and δ may optionally be set to zero if they are zero in the corresponding line of Table 7.3:

where:

M C = molar mass of carbon.

α = atomic hydrogen-to-carbon ratio of the mixture of fuel(s) being combusted, weighted by molar consumption.

M H = molar mass of hydrogen.

β = atomic oxygen-to-carbon ratio of the mixture of fuel(s) being combusted, weighted by molar consumption.

M O = molar mass of oxygen.

γ = atomic sulphur-to-carbon ratio of the mixture of fuel(s) being combusted, weighted by molar consumption.

M S = molar mass of sulphur.

δ = atomic nitrogen-to-carbon ratio of the mixture of fuel(s) being combusted, weighted by molar consumption.

M

N = molar mass of nitrogen.
