- Summary:
- Collaborative research outlined in this paper documents recent engine and emission performance of a newer, more robust small SI engine across a sweeping range of relative humidity having fixed intake air temperature and pressure. The experimental results will show that power correction references to SAE J1349 as well as humidity correction reference for Kh in EPA 40 CFR 1065 may generically be applied, but do not accurately compensate for the extent of correction required. The test results shared from this particular performance testing of a Kohler KT745 carbureted engine develops the case for a more diverse and less conservative approach to a one-size-fits all strategy related to humidity corrections within the small SI testing community. Moreover, humidity effects for both observed and corrected power, as well as emission corrected constituents (not just NOx) are generally greater than would otherwise be assumed from the literature. From these results, the authors will show that facilities without intake air humidity management may unknowingly bias brake specific emissions of both THC+NOx and CO family emission limits (FELs). Moreover, in defining family emission limits with NOx only correction, general performance repeatability in certifications as well as production line testing (PLT) results throughout the year may contribute to a wider deviation in engine-to-engine emission variability and power than might normally be expected. The following results are specifically for rich engine operation of an air-cooled engine, and subsequent results for stoichiometric air-cooled engine relative humidity effects would need to be discussed separately
