Appendix Appendix II - Appendix II to Part 1039—Steady-State Duty Cycles

(a) The following duty cycles apply for constant-speed engines:

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

D2 mode number Engine speed Torque
(percent) 1 		Weighting
factors
1Engine governed1000.05
2Engine governed750.25
3Engine governed500.30
4Engine governed250.30
5Engine governed100.10

1 The percent torque is relative to maximum test torque.

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

RMC mode Time in mode
(seconds) 		Engine speed Torque
(percent) 1 2
1a Steady-state53Engine governed100.
1b Transition20Engine governedLinear transition.
2a Steady-state101Engine governed10.
2b Transition20Engine governedLinear transition.
3a Steady-state277Engine governed75.
3b Transition20Engine governedLinear transition.
4a Steady-state339Engine governed25.
4b Transition20Engine governedLinear transition.
5 Steady-state350Engine governed50.

1 The percent torque is relative to maximum test torque.

2 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.

(b) The following duty cycles apply for variable-speed engines with maximum engine power below 19 kW:

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

G2 mode number Engine speed 1 Torque
(percent) 2 		Weighting
factors
1Maximum test speed1000.09
2Maximum test speed750.20
3Maximum test speed500.29
4Maximum test speed250.30
5Maximum test speed100.07
6Warm idle00.05

1 Speed terms are defined in 40 CFR part 1065.

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

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

6a Steady-state494Maximum test speed50.
6b Transition20Linear transitionLinear transition.
7 Steady-state43Warm idle0.

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.
