Division 7.2 Calculation of the measured fuel consumptionF1
United Kingdom
The measured fuel flow shall be integrated for the same time span as the simulated fuel consumption. The measured fuel consumption for the total test shall be calculated as follows:
where:
Fuel consumption measured by integrating fuel mass flow over the complete fuel consumption measurement phase [g/kWh]
Instantaneous fuel mass flow measured during the fuel consumption measurement phase [g/s]
Sampling rate [Hz]
Verification test work at the wheel calculated from the measured wheel torque and wheel rotational speeds over the complete fuel consumption measurement phase [kWh]
Positive power at the left (i = l) and right (i = 2) wheel calculated from the measured wheel torque and wheel rotational speeds at time step t where only power values greater zero are considered
instantaneously measured torque at the wheel ‘ i ’ in time step ‘ t ’ [Nm]
instantaneously measured rotational speed at the wheel ‘i’ in time step ‘t’ [min – 1 ]
The measured fuel consumption values shall be corrected for the net calorific value (NCV) as set out in point 3 of Annex V to calculate the verification test results.
where:
NCV of the fuel used in the verification test determined in accordance with point 3.2 of Annex V [MJ/kg]
Standard NCV in accordance with Table 4 of Annex V [MJ/kg]
Fuel consumption measured by integrating fuel mass over the complete fuel consumption measurement phase corrected for the test fuel NCV [g/kWh]
