6 Test methods
6.1 Hydrogen emission with engine warmed-up in idle
6.1.1 Preconditioning of the vehicle
Before the test, according to the procedure specified by the manufacturer, start the fuel cell engine and make it run at a certain power so that the temperature of the fuel cell engine is within the range specified by the manufacturer, and then shut down the fuel cell engine.
6.1.2 Test procedure
According to the manufacturer's instructions, start the fuel cell engine and keep it idling. After one purge cycle is completed, keep it idling for 1 minute, and then stop it following the manufacturer's procedure.
6.1.3 Measurement of the relative volume concentration of hydrogen emission
The relative volume concentration of hydrogen emission is measured as specified below:
a) From the start of the fuel cell engine, measure the relative volume concentration of hydrogen emissions until the fuel cell engine is completely shut down;
b) The measuring point is located 100 mm outside from the exhaust port and on the extension line of the geometric centerline of the exhaust port.
6.1.4 Test requirements
The test process shall meet the following requirements:
a) The test is carried out in a single exercise;
b) Continuously plot the relative volume concentration of hydrogen emission with time, with a sampling frequency not less than 5 Hz.
6.2 Hydrogen emission with engine warmed-up in cycle conditions
6.2.1 Preconditioning of the vehicle
Before the test starts, the test vehicle is placed on a chassis dynamometer with load and inertia simulation, and runs at a certain speed to make the fuel cell engine's operating temperature reach the temperature of the engine warm-up state specified by the manufacturer, and then shut down the fuel cell engine.
6.2.2 Test procedure
The test process shall meet the following requirements:
a) For Categories M1 and N1 fuel cell electric vehicles, and Category M2 with a gross weight up to 3.5t, the test vehicle load is applied as specified in GB 18352.5-2013. Start the vehicle following the procedure specified by the manufacturer, and perform the test in accordance with the cycle conditions (including urban cycle and suburban cycle) specified in GB 18352.5-2013 Annex CA. During the test, the vehicle speed deviation shall meet the requirements of GB 18352.5-2013. For Categories M2, M3, N2 and N3 fuel cell electric vehicles with a gross weight more than 3.5t, the test vehicle load is applied as specified in GB/T 19754-2015. Start the vehicle following the procedure specified by the manufacturer, and perform the test in accordance with the China-typical city bus cycle specified in GB/T 19754-2015. During the test, the vehicle speed deviation shall meet the requirements of GB/T 19754-2015.
b) Sampling starts from the start of the vehicle, and upon the end of the cycle, shut down the fuel cell engine. As the fuel cell engine is completely stopped, the sampling ends.
6.2.3 Test data measurement and results
Test data measurement and result processing shall meet the following requirements:
a) Record the curves of current (I), voltage (U), hydrogen flow (inlet flow mH2) etc. of the fuel cell stack with time. The accuracy of the hydrogen mass flow meter shall meet the requirements of Table 1.
b) Calculate hydrogen emission in accordance with Annex A.
c) The test shall be repeated three times, and the final result of the test shall be taken as the average of the three repeats, and the sampling frequency shall not be less than 5Hz.
d) Before each test, the SOC of the vehicle's power battery must be consistent.
