Dual-fuel engine dual-fuel indicator, warning system, operability restriction — Demonstration requirements

1.

Dual-fuel indicators

1.1.

Dual-fuel mode indicator

The ability of the engine to command the activation of the dual-fuel mode indicator when operating in dual-fuel mode shall be demonstrated at EU type-approval.

1.2.

Liquid-fuel mode indicator

In the case of a Type 1B, Type 2B, or Type 3B dual-fuel engine the ability of the engine to command the activation of the liquid-fuel mode indicator when operating in liquid-fuel mode shall be demonstrated at EU type-approval.

1.3.

Service mode indicator

The ability of the engine to command the activation of the service mode indicator when operating in service mode shall be demonstrated at EU type-approval.

1.3.1.

When so-equipped it is sufficient to perform the demonstration related to the service mode indicator by activating a service mode activation switch and to present the approval authority with evidence showing that the activation occurs when the service mode is commanded by the engine system itself (for example, through algorithms, simulations, result of in-house tests, etc. …).

2.

Warning system

The ability of the engine to command the activation of the warning system in the case that the amount of gaseous fuel in the gaseous fuel tank is below the warning level, shall be demonstrated at EU type-approval. For that purpose the actual amount of gaseous fuel may be simulated.

3.

Operability restriction

In the case of a Type 1A or Type 2A dual-fuel engine the ability of the engine to command the activation of the operability restriction upon detection of an empty gaseous fuel tank and of a malfunctioning gas supply system shall be demonstrated at EU type-approval. For that purpose the empty gaseous fuel tank and the malfunctioning of the gas supply may be simulated.

3.1.

It is sufficient to perform the demonstration in a typical use-case selected with the agreement of the approval authority and to present that authority with evidence showing that the operability restriction occurs in the other possible use-cases (for example, through algorithms, simulations, result of in-house tests, etc.).
