Common use of Vehicle based test Clause in Contracts

Vehicle based test. 5.1.1. Vehicle preparation The ageing of REESS shall be checked, proving that the vehicle has performed at least 300 km during seven days before the test. During this period, the vehicle shall be equipped with the traction battery submitted to the hydrogen emission test. If this cannot be demonstrated then the following procedure will be applied. 5.1.1.1. Discharges and initial charges of the REESS The procedure starts with the discharge of the REESS of the vehicle while driving on the test track or on a chassis dynamometer at a steady speed of 70 per cent ± 5 per cent of the maximum speed of the vehicle during 30 minutes. Discharging is stopped: (a) When the vehicle is not able to run at 65 per cent of the maximum thirty minutes speed, or (b) When an indication to stop the vehicle is given to the driver by the standard on-board instrumentation, or (c) After having covered the distance of 100 km. 5.1.1.2. Initial charge of the REESS The charge is carried out: (a) With the charger; (b) In an ambient temperature between 293 K and 303 K. The procedure excludes all types of external chargers. The end of REESS charge criteria corresponds to an automatic stop given by the charger. This procedure includes all types of special charges that could be automatically or manually initiated like, for instance, the equalisation charges or the servicing charges. 5.1.1.3. Procedure from paragraphs 5.1.1.1. and 5.1.1.2. shall be repeated two times. 5.1.2. Discharge of the REESS The REESS is discharged while driving on the test track or on a chassis dynamometer at a steady speed of 70 per cent ± 5 per cent from the maximum thirty minutes speed of the vehicle. Stopping the discharge occurs: (a) When an indication to stop the vehicle is given to the driver by the standard on-board instrumentation, or (b) When the maximum speed of the vehicle is lower than 20 km/h. 5.1.3. Soak Within fifteen minutes of completing the battery discharge operation specified in paragraph 5.1.2., the vehicle is parked in the soak area. The vehicle is parked for a minimum of 12 hours and a maximum of 36 hours, between the end of the traction battery discharge and the start of the hydrogen emission test during a normal charge. For this period, the vehicle shall be soaked at 293 K ± 2 K. 5.1.4. Hydrogen emission test during a normal charge 5.1.4.1. Before the completion of the soak period, the measuring chamber shall be purged for several minutes until a stable hydrogen background is obtained. The enclosure mixing fan(s) shall also be turned on at this time. 5.1.4.2. The hydrogen analyser shall be zeroed and spanned immediately prior to the test. 5.1.4.3. At the end of the soak, the test vehicle, with the engine shut off and the test vehicle windows and luggage compartment opened shall be moved into the measuring chamber. 5.1.4.4.

The enclosure doors are closed and sealed gas-tight within two minutes from electrical interlock of the normal charge step. 5.1.4.6. The start of a normal charge for hydrogen emission test period begins when the chamber is sealed. The hydrogen concentration, temperature and barometric pressure are measured to give the initial readings CH2i, Ti and Pi for the normal charge test. These figures are used in the hydrogen emission calculation (paragraph 6. of this annex). The ambient enclosure temperature T shall not be less than 291 K and no more than 295 K during the normal charge period. 5.1.4.7. Procedure of normal charge The normal charge is carried out with the charger and consists of the following steps: (a) Charging at constant power during t1; (b) Over-charging at constant current during t2. Over-charging intensity is specified by manufacturer and corresponds to the one used during equalisation charging. The end of REESS charge criteria corresponds to an automatic stop given by the charger to a charging time of t1 + t2. This charging time will be limited to t1 + 5 h, even if a clear indication is given to the driver by the standard instrumentation that the battery is not yet fully charged. 5.1.4.8. The hydrogen analyser shall be zeroed and spanned immediately before the end of the test. 5.1.4.9. The end of the emission sampling period occurs t1 + t2 or t1 + 5 hours after the beginning of the initial sampling, as specified in Annex 8 paragraph 5.
