3 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this Document, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 15089, GB
18352.6-2016, GB/T 19233, GB/T 27840 and the following apply.
3.1 Methanol fuel vehicle
M and N category vehicles equipped with methanol single-fuel engines or
diesel/methanol dual-fuel engines (referred to as methanol vehicles).
3.2 Light-duty methanol fuel vehicle
M1, M2 and N1 category methanol vehicles with the maximum design total mass not
exceeding 3 500kg (referred to as light-duty methanol vehicles).
3.3 Heavy-duty methanol fuel vehicle
M and N category methanol vehicles with maximum design total mass exceeding
3500kg (referred to as heavy-duty methanol vehicles).
4 Test Requirements
4.1 General requirements
The test requirements for light-duty methanol vehicles shall comply with the relevant
provisions of GB/T 19233. The automobile manufacturer or its authorized agent can
refer to the relevant provisions of GB/T 19233 to measure the vehicle’s fuel
consumption in the low-temperature environment, air-conditioning and refrigeration
status, and high-altitude environment.
The test requirements for heavy-duty methanol vehicles shall comply with the relevant
provisions of GB/T 27840.
4.2 Other requirements
Before the test, the manufacturer or its authorized agent shall provide the inspection
agency with a control strategy during the engine start-up process, so that it can
measure gasoline or diesel fuel consumption and methanol fuel consumption
according to the engine control strategy, respectively.
5 Test Conditions
5.1 Test environment, test vehicles and running-in
The test conditions for light-duty methanol vehicles shall comply with the relevant
provisions of GB/T 19233; the test conditions for heavy-duty methanol vehicles shall
comply with the relevant provisions of GB/T 27840.
c) The methanol hydrogen-carbon ratio is 4, and the oxygen-carbon ratio is 1.
5.4.2 If a flow meter (mass flow meter or volume flow meter) is used to measure fuel
consumption, the measuring equipment shall meet the following conditions:
a) The installation of a fuel flow recording device shall not affect the normal
operation of the engine;
b) The fuel supply pipeline needs to be equipped with two valve systems or two sets
of test equipment with only a single valve to ensure that methanol fuel, gasoline
fuel or diesel fuel flow from the normal fuel supply pipeline to the corresponding
measurement pipeline. The operation time for changing the fuel direction shall
not exceed 0.2s;
c) A mass flow meter that meets the requirements (or similar principles) of GB/T
31130 shall be used, with a measurement accuracy of ±1% or a volume flow
meter with a measurement accuracy of no less than ±0.5%;
d) The flow meter shall not make, the change OF fuel pressure and temperature at
the inlet OF the methanol fuel and gasoline or diesel fuel recording device on the
vehicle, exceeding 10% and ±5°, respectively.
6 Test Methods
6.1 Light-duty methanol vehicles shall be tested in accordance with the relevant
provisions of GB/T 19233. Heavy-duty methanol vehicles shall be tested in accordance
with the relevant provisions of GB/T 27840.
6.2 When using the carbon balance method to measure fuel consumption, first
measure the CO2, CO, and HC emissions of gasoline and methanol in cycle of the
working conditions, as well as the driving distance. And then calculate the gasoline and
methanol fuels consumption according to the method described in 7.1; and convert
methanol consumption into equivalent gasoline consumption according to the
equivalent calorific value method, and count it into the total gasoline consumption. The
calculation result is expressed in L/100km, rounded-off (rounded) to two digits after the
decimal points. The inspection agency shall determine the switching time between
gasoline and methanol fuel based on the changes in the currently used fuel type
(PID$51) in the measured and recorded OBD universal scanning tool mode $01, and
record it in the test report.
6.3 When a flow meter (mass flow meter or volume flow meter) is used to measure fuel
consumption, the data can be recorded through an automatic acquisition system or
manually. If an automatic acquisition system is used, it shall be able to be continuous
in real time with a sampling frequency of no less than 1 Hz to record fuel consumption,
driving distance, and fuel pressure and temperature at the inlet of the fuel recording
Cequ. – consumption of equivalent gasoline fuel1), in L/100km;
CG – gasoline fuel consumption, in L/100km;
CM - methanol fuel consumption, in L/100km;
di -the distance travelled by using gasoline during the test cycle, in km;
d – driving mileage of test, in kg;
ρi – density of benchmark gasoline fuel at 288K (15°C), in kg/L;
ρM – density of methanol fuel at 288K (15°C), in kg/L;
qi – low heating value of benchmark gasoline, taking the fixed value of 43.070MJ/kg;
qM – low heating value of methanol, taking the fixed value of 19.569MJ/kg.
7.1.4 The correction of the calculated value of fuel consumption when the benchmark
fuel is not used shall be implemented with reference to the relevant provisions of GB/T
19233.
