          (2)  The engine dynamometer should be operated at a constant
               speed of 2,000 r.p.m. +_ 100 r.p.m. (Speed deviations,
               should not exceed 200 r.p.m. during the first four seconds
               of each mode.)

          (3)  The idle operating mode shall be carried out at the
               manufacturers recommended engine speed.  Arrive at the
               last idle mode by closing the throttle and unloading the
               dynamometer or by actuating a clutch mechanism.  The CT
               operating mode should be carried out at the same engine
               speed as in paragraph A. (2) of this section.

     B.    The following equipment should be used for dynamometer tests.

          (1)  An engine dynamometer capable of maintaining constant
               speed +_ 100 r.p.m. from full throttle to closed throttle
               motoring.

          (2)  A chassis-type single pipe exhaust system shall be used.
               Standard or specially fabricated "Y" pipes may be used
               for "V" type engines, however the probe location shall
               conform to III-C-1 and this location is to be at least
               three feet downstream of the "Y" intersection.

          (3)  A radiator typical of that used with the engine -in a
               vehicle, or other means of engine cooling which will
               maintain the engine operating temperatures at approxi-
               mately the'same temperature as would, the radiator, shall
               be used to maintain engine cooling during sustained
               operation on the dynamometer.  >i

II.  Dynamometer procedures.

          An initial 5-minute idle, one warmup cycle, and one hot cycle
     constitute a complete dynamometer run.  Idle modes may be run at
     the beginning and end of each test, thus eliminating the need to
     change speed between cycles.

III. Instrumentation

     A.   Schematic Drawing.

          (1)  Fig. IIIA-1 is a schematic drawing of the exhaust gas
               sampling and analytical system which shall be used for
               testing under the regulations in the subpart.  All
               components or parts of components that are wetted by the
               sample or corrosive calibration gases should be either
               chemically clean stainless steel or teflon.  Use of
               hydrocarbon derivatives such as Buna-N for packings,
               seals, diaphrams or any other device that may come in
               contact with the sample or span gas is not recommended.
               The use of "gauge savers or protectors" with nonreactive
               diaphrams is permissable and recommended.

     B.   System Components.

               The following is a list of components shown in Fig. IIIA-
          1 by numeric identifier.  Pressure ranges and accuracies when
          given are suggested values.  Any component indicated as being
          heated means maintaining that component at 125°C; +10°C, -5°C
          (257°F;
          (1)  Filters.

               (a)  Fl - Particulate filter.
               (b)  F2 - Particulate filter.
               (c)  F3 - Heated particulate filter.

          (2)  Flowmeters FL 1 and FL 2 to indicate sample flow rates
               through the CO and CO- analyzers.

          (3)  Gauges  (0-15" H_0) Gl and G2 to measure input pressure to
               CO and CO  analyzers and any unwanted changes in down-
               stream restrictions.

          (4)  Pressure gauges.

               (a)  PI - bypass pressure (0-20 psig).
               (b)  P2, P3, P4, and P5 - sample 'or span pressure at
                    inlet to flow control values (0-10 psig).

C.   Component Description (exhaust gas sampling).
                  fi
          The following components are recommended for the exhaust
     gas sampling system.

     (1)  Sampling probe.  The sample probe shall be closed end,-'
          stainless steel, multi-hole probe 1/4 inch outside diameter
          extending at least 80% across the exhaust pipe.   There
          shall be a minimum of 3 ports in probe covering approxi-
          mately equal areas of the duct and oriented such that
          they face into the exhaust stre'am.  The orifices should
          be sized such that each port has; ^approximately the same
          flow.  The probe shall be located approximately'\three to
          nine feet downstream from the exhaust manifold outlet

-------
                            -4-
          flange or turbocharger exit flange and this position must
          be downstream of any exhaust emission control device(s)
          (catalyst, etc.).

     (2)  Sample transfer.  The exhaust gas sample shall be transferred
          to the analytical instruments through a heated filter and
          heated line by a hot pump.  The heated line shall be of
          stainless steel or teflon construction and have an I.D.
          between .18 and .32 inches.  The sample line wall temperature
          must be maintained at 125° +10°C, -5°C (257°F, +18°F, -9°F)
          with a maximum line length of 50 ft.  The sample pump
          shall be located as close as practical to the sample
          probe and the wetted surfaces of the pump must be heated.
          The pump must be capable of transporting the sample from
          the probe to the analyzers in 5 seconds or less.  The
          filter must also be heated.

D.   Component Description (exhaust gas analysis system).

     (1)  Total hydrocarbon measurement (HC).  The determination of
          hydrocarbon concentrations is to be ascertained by a
          heated flame ionization detector (FID).  See the Appendix
          for general design specifications.

    .(2)  Oxides of Nitrogen Measurement (NOx).  The concentration
          of Oxides of Nitrogen (NO + NO  = NOx) is to be determined
          by a chemiluminescence analyzer in the (NOx) mode.  This
          requires the (N09) in the sample to be converted to (NO)
          by the converter before analyzing the sample in the
          reaction chamber.  See the Appendix for general design
          specifications.

     (3)  Carbon Monoxide Measurement (CO).  The carbon monoxide
          concentration is to be determined by an NDIR analyzer.
          See the Appendix for general design specifications.  If
          the turn down ratio of the analyzer is not great enough
          for the desired application, a combination of two or more
          separate instruments, two or more separate cells with one
          amplifier, or a multi-cell analyzer may be used.  Accomplish
          this by adding a selector valve between flowmeter FL2 and
          gauge G2 (see Fig. IIIA-1).  All cell flow paths must be
          parallel and must have a gauge G2 immediately upstream of
          all detector cells.  Vent all detector cells to atmospheric
          pressure as shown in Fig. IIIA-1.  If the cells are in
          series optically as in some dual cell arrangements, the
          cell not in use must be. continuously purged with nitrogen
         . (N9) when analyzing a' sample.  Furthermore the purge
          pressure at G2 should be approximately the same, as the
          sample pressure at G2 although the flow rate may be
          somewhat lower.                              v .  '

                                 -5-

          (4)  Carbon Dioxide Measurement (CCO.  The carbon dioxide
               concentration is to be determined by an NDIR analyzer.
               See the Appendix for general design specifications.

     E.   Venting.  The method of disposing of the sample is not specified.
          However, caution must be used in routing of the vent lines:

          (1)  Venting of the instruments, especially the NDIR analyzers,
               must be such that the analyzer vent does not see a back
               pressure caused by the proximity of other vents.

          (2)  Pressure relief vents provided by some manufacturers of
               regulators and located in the bonnet of the regulator
               should be vented to the atmosphere.

               at a minimum of three locations, two of which should be
               the sample probe outlet and instrumentation inlet.

          (13) Sample line residence time (Refer to section VI).

          (14) Date of most recent analytical assembly calibration.

          (15) All pertinent instrument information such as tuning-gain-
               serial numbers-detector number-range.

               traces for each range used-calibration or span traces for
               each range used - emission concentration traces and
               associated analyzer range(s) - start and finish of each
               test.

          (17) Record chart speed of recorder and date of last speed
               calibration.  The minimum chart speed allowed is 3 inches
               per minute.

          (18) Record engine torque and engine r.p.m. continuously on
               the same chart.

          (19) All chart recorders (analyzers, torque, r.p.m., etc.)
               should be provided with automatic markers which indicate
               one second intervals.  Preprinted chart paper (one second
               intervals) may be used in lieu of the automatic markers
               provided the correct chart speed is used.

V.   Calibration and instrument checks.

     A.   Calibrate the analytical assembly including re'corder chart
          speeds at least once every 30 days.  Use the same flow rate
          and chart speed as when analyzing samples.

          (1)  Perform.a pressure leak check pef section :VI.
                                               1 \
          (2)  Adjust analyzers to optimize per-f-ormance.  See the
               Appendix.                                    '»' • '

                            -7-

     (3)  Zero the hydrocarbon analyzer with zero grade air and the
          carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and oxides of nitrogen
          analyzers with zero grade nitrogen.  The allowable zero
          gas impurity concentrations should not exceed 0.1 p.p.m.
          equivalent carbon response, 1 p.p.m. carbon monoxide, 400
          p.p.m. carbon dioxide, and 0.1 p.p.m. nitric oxide.

     (4)  Calibration gas concentrations shall be determined within
          + 1.0% of the absolute value.

     (5)  Set the CO and C09 analyzer gains to give the desired
          range.  Select desired attenuation scale of the HC
          analyzer and adjust the electronic gain control to give
          the desired full scale range.  Select the desired scale
          of the NOx analyzer and adjust the phototube high voltage
          supply or amplifier gain to give the desired range.
          Normally, zero and gain adjustment should be performed on
          the lowest anticipated range.

     (6)  Calibrate the HC analyzer per the Appendix.

     (7)  Calibrate the CO analyzer with carbon monoxide (nitrogen
          diluent) gases and the CO^ analyzer with carbon dioxide
          (nitrogen diluent) gases Raving nominal concentrations of
          20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 percent of full scale
          of each range used.

     (8)  Calibrate the NOx analyzer per the Appendix.

     (9)  Check NOx converter efficiency per the Appendix.

     (10) Compare values obtained on all analyzers with previous
          calibration curves.  Any significant change reflects some
          problem in the system.

B.   Verification and instrument checks should be performed in
     accordance with section VI on in-use systems.

C.   For the purposes of this section, the term "zero grade air"
     includes artificial "air" consisting of a blend of nitrogen
     and oxygen with oxygen concentrations between 20.0- and 22.0-
     mole percent.

D.   Calibrate the dynamometer test stand and othei; instruments for
     measurement of power output and the fuel flow measurement
     instrumentation at least once every 180 days.

VI.  Sampling procedures.

     A.   HC, CO, C0? and NOx measurements.  Allow a minimum of 2 hours
          warmup for the CO, C02, HC, and NOx analyzers.  (Power is
          normally left on for the infrared, chemiluminescence, and FID
          analyzers; but when not in use, the chopper motors of the
          infrared analyzers are turned off and the phototube high
          voltage supply of the chemiluminescence analyzer is placed in
          the standby position.  Also, leaving the flame and the oven
          "on" in the FID leads to a more stable response.)  The following
          sequence of operations should be performed in conjunction with
          each series of measurements:

          (1)  Replace or clean filters.

          (2)  After the filter(s) have been replaced or cleaned, check
               the sampling system for any leaks that could dilute the
               exhaust gas.  If during the test, the filters are replaced
               or cleaned, a leak check must be performed after the test
               is completed.  This post test leak check must be performed
               after hangup checks are made.  The pressure side leak
               check may be borrowed from the 30 day check of the system.
               Check sample system leakage in the following manner:

               (a)  Vacuum Side

                    (A)  Cap the probe or sample line at the probe
                         fitting.

                    (B)  Measure the flow at the discharge of the pump.

                    (C)  If the measured flow exceeds 2.0 cc/min, effect
                         repairs to the system.

               (b)  Pressure Side

                    (A)  Vent the inlet of the pump to the atmosphere.

                    (B)  Cap the sample line at the point the line
                         connects to the analysis train.

                    (C)  Measure the flow at the inlet to the pump.

                    (D)  If the measured flow exceeds 10.0 cc/min,
                         effect repairs to the system.

                    (E)  All other pressure fittings may be checked by
                         using the bubble-check method.  Various com-
                         mercial preparations are available for this
                         purpose.  Fitting leakage should b$ cprrected.

                       -9-

(3)   Introduce the zero grade gases at the same flow rates
     used to analyze the test samples and zero the analyzers
     on the lowest anticipated range that may be used during
     the test.  Record a stable zero for each anticipated
     range that may be used during the test prior to the test.
     Record these zero values for each analyzer.

(4)   Introduce span gases to the instruments under the same
     flow conditions as were used for the zero gases.  Adjust
     the instrument gains on the lowest range to be used to
     give the desired value.  Span-gases should have a con-
     centration greater than 65% of full-scale for each range
     used.  A significant shift in gain setting indicates an
     instrument or system problem.  If necessary, recheck
     calibration and span-gas concentration-label.  Record the
     response to the span-gas and the span-gas concentration
     for each anticipated range that may be used during the
     test prior to the test.  Record these values for each
     analyzer.

(5)   Recheck zeros; repeat the procedure in subparagraphs (3)
     and (4) of this paragraph, if required.

(6)   Check sample line temperature and sample residence time.
     To check sample residence time:

     (a)  Introduce HC span gas into sampling system at sample
          inlet and simultaneously start timer.

     (b)  When HC instrument indication is 15 percent of full-
          scale, stop timer.

     (c)  If elapsed time is more than 5.0 seconds, make
          necessary adjustments.

     (d)  Repeat (a) through (c) with CO, C0_, and NOx instru-
          ments and span gases.

(7)   Sample residence-time may be used from previous tests if
     all of the following conditions are met:

     (a)  The same size and type of pump is used.

     (b)  The sample line I.D.  is the same and. the length is
          equal to or shorter than the tested line.

     (c)  The sample line temperature is -the same (+ 5°C,
          9°F).
                      '
     (d)  Pressure gauges PI, P2, P3,;,P4, and P5 read the same
          pressure (+ 15% of original value).     y  '•«

                           -io-

     cs)  Check instrument flow rates and pressures.

     (9)  Operate the engine in accordance with section VII.
          Measure HC, CO, C0_, and NOx volume concentration in the
          exhaust sample.  Record data specified in section IV.
          Should the emission volume concentration exceed 95% of
          full-scale value for non linear instruments (100% of
          full-scale value for linear instruments) or respond less
          than 20% of full-scale value, (for all instruments) the
          next higher or lower analyzer range should be used per
          the Appendix.  Note:  the lower limit (20% of full-scale)
          does not apply when the full-scale value is 120 ppm (or
          ppm C) or less.  Should the fuel flow instrument read
          below 20% of full-scale value, a smaller flow measurement
          unit must be used unless the option in the Appendix is
          desired.

     (10) Each range that may be used during a test must have the
          zero and span responses recorded prior to the execution
          of that test.  Only the range(s) used to measure the
          emissions during a test are required to have their zero
          and span recorded after the completion of the test.  If
          the difference between the span-gas response and the
          zero-gas response has changed more than +2.0 percent,
          the test should be rerun after instrument maintenance.
          In addition the test should be rerun if the zero response
          changes more than +6.0 percent of full scale.   If the
          zero response has changed less than +_ 2.0 percent, the
          pre-test zero response is to be used.  However if the
          response change is between +2.0 and +6.0 percent of
          full scale, a zero response correction based on an
          interpolation which is linear with time is acceptable.

B.   Sample system contamination.

     (1)  Care shall be taken to avoid loading of the sampling
          system with raw fuel discharged during engine starting.

     (2)  When the sample probe is in the exhaust stream and sampling
          is riot in process, a back purge with air or an inert gas
          may be necessary to protect the probe and sample line
          from particulate buildup which could affect hydrocarbon
          readings.  Check sample line for contamination before and
          after each test.  Use the following procedure to check   ' .
          the sample line:

-------
                                 -11-

               (a)  With the HC analyzer calibrated on the lowest range
                    to be used for the test, and the sample line at the
                    required temperature, check the sample-line hangup
                    at least 45 minutes prior to the start of the test
                    sequences.  Introduce an HC zero-gas into the sample
                    probe.  If the instrument reading increases from the
                    calibrated-zero reading by more than 5.0 percent of
                    full-scale, the sample-line shall be purged or
                    cleaned as required to bring the instrument reading
                    within limits.

               (b)  Within 10 minutes after the completion of the post-
                    test zero and span check of the analyzers, check the
                    sample-line hangup.  Remove the probe from exhaust
                    pipe.  Turn the engine off.  Introduce an HC zero-
                    gas into the sample probe.  If the instrument reading
                    increases from the calibrated-zero reading by more
                    than 5.0 percent of full scale, rerun the test.

VII.  Dynamometer test run.

     A.   (1)  Mount test engine on the engine dynamometer.

          (2)  Install instrumentation and sample probe as required.

     B.   Precondition the engine by the following steps.

          (1)  The engine should be turned off and allowed to stand for
               a minimum of 5 hours.

               NOTE:  The engine is not required to be installed in a
               test cell to meet this requirement.  The engine may be in
               transit to another laboratory.

          (2)  The engine should be started and operated at:

               (a)  Zero load at.the manufacturer's warm-up fast idle
                    speed for 1 minute.

               (b)  A torque load equivalent to 10 + 3 percent of the
                    most recent determination of maximum torque for 4
                    minutes.

               (c)  A torque load equivalent to 55 + 5 percent of the
                    most recent determination of maximum torque for 35
                    minutes.

          (3)  Check the manufacturer's specifications as required.
               This check should be performed within 10 minutes.
                                              !>•»
          (4)  Determine the maximum torque of the engine at t|ie speed
               specified in section I.

-------
                           -12-

          (a)  After the engine has reached the speed specified in
               section I, run the engine at wide open throttle.
               Record the high and low torque reading during the
               second minute of operation at wide open throttle.
               Do not operate the engine at wide open throttle for
               more than 3 minutes.  The average of the recorded
               high and low .torque readings is the maximum torque
               value for the test.

          (b)  Calculate the torque corresponding to 10, 25, 55,
               and 90 percent of the maximum torque value determined.

     (5)  Determine the analyzer ranges required for each mode to
          meet the range specifications of section VI.  The engine
          must not be operated for more than 5 minutes.

     (6)  The engine shall be turned off and allowed to stand for
          at least 1 hour, but not more than 2 hours, at an ambient
          temperature of 25°C + 5°C (77°F + 9°F).

     (7)  Should it be determined that the test must be rerun, and
          if the time requirements of section VII.B(6) have not
          been exceeded, then only the preconditioning specified in
          that section need be performed prior to continuing with
          the test.

C.   The following steps should be taken for each test:

     (1)  Maintain dynamometer test cell temperature ambient
          temperature at 25°C + 5°C (77°F + 9°F).

     (2)  Observe sampling procedures in section VI.  Zero and span
          emission analyzers.

     (3)  Start cooling system.

     (4)  Start engine and idle at manufacturer's warm-up fast idle
          specification for 5 minutes.

     (5)  Release 'the choke-idle-stop (if necessary) and return the
          engine throttle control to the curb idle position, start
          sample flow and recorders, and begin test sequence of
          section I.

     (6)  Check analyzer and spans as required for section VI.

     (7)  The calculated-torque values from section VII are used as
          the control parameters for the test sequence of section
          I.  During the test the observed\torque value for each
          mode should not deviate more than +2.0 percent of maximum
          torque from the calculated-torque value.      ',  '<

                              -13-

          (8)  Perform test sequence of section I.  Repeat this sequence
               until a total of two consecutive test sequences have been
               completed.

VIII. .Chart reading.

          The exhaust gas analyzer recorder response always lags the
     engine's operation because of a variable exhaust system delay and a
     fixed sample system delay.  Therefore, the analyzer responses for
     each mode may not be located on the charts at a point corresponding
     to the exact time of the mode.  A computer or any other automatic
     data processing device may be used as long as the system meets the
     requirements under this subpart.  For each warmup or hot cycle to
     be evaluated, proceed as follows:

     A.    Determine whether the cycle was run in accordance with the
          procedure specified in section I by observing either chart
          pipe, speed trace, torque trace, or concentration traces.  The
          test should be invalidated if there is a deviation by more
          than:  (1) two seconds from the specified time for the CT
          mode, or  (2) 4^ 2 percent of maximum torque during each mode
          excluding the first 10 seconds of each mode, or  (3) 200
          r.p.m. during the first 4 seconds of each mode, or 100 r.p.m.
          during the remainder of each mode.

     B..   Time correlate the hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide,
          and nitric oxide charts.  Determine the location on the chart
          of analyzer response corresponding to each mode.  Determine
          and compensate for trace abnormalities.

     C.    Determine concentrations.

          (1)  For all modes except the CT mode, locate the last 10
               seconds for each of these modes.  Integrate the chart
               reading to determine the percent of full-scale deflection
               of the C0_, CO, HC, and NOx analyzers during this 10
               seconds.

          (2)  For all CT modes, locate the last 50 seconds for each of
               these modes.  Integrate the chart reading to determine
               the percent of full-scale deflection of the CO , CO, HC,
               and NOx analyzers during this 50 seconds.

          (3)  If the excursion from a straight line (other than instrument
               noise) during these specified time intervals is less than
               1 percent of full scale, a simple average may be used to
               determine analyzer deflection.

-------
                               -14-

           (4)  For  each mode,  determine the concentration of  the CO
               CO,  HC, and  NOx during the time interval specified from
               the  percent  of  full  scale analyzer  deflection,  span gas
               response,  range correction factor,  linearity curves,  and
               other  calibration  data.

IX.  Calculations

          The final reported test results should be derived through the
     following steps.

     A.   Determine the exhaust species  volume concentration  for each
          mode of each test"»sequence  as  described  in section  I as
          required  by specific instructions  in section  VIII.
