Non-road fuel consumption and pollutant emissions FOEN 2008 36 The level of an engine’s fuel consumption and pollutant emissions depends on its age, and in the emissions model this is taken into account using a deterioration (wear and tear) factor. Different assumptions relating to wear and tear are made, depending on the pollutant. The influence of wear and tear is calculated using the deterioration factors indicated in Table 9. Wear and tear (CF3) Tab. 9 > Deterioration factors Wear and tear (CF 3 ). Engine type Period of CO HC NOX PM Consumption deterioration (Ph) Max. Max. Max. Max.

In the case of diesel engines, for example, the PM emission factor increases by 10% every 2000 hours, the maximum increase is 20%, i.e. even after the number of operating hours surpasses 4000 the emission factor is only increased by 20%.

4.3.7 Particle filters<br />

The purpose of particle filters is to efficiently reduce <strong>emissions</strong> of particulate matter<br />

from diesel engines. In order to meet the emission limit value for particulate matter<br />

specified by EU IIIB, engines probably need to be fitted with particle filters. EU stage<br />

IIIB only applies to engines with a rated power > 37 kW, but according to the relevant<br />

EU Directive, as of 2011 construction machines with a rated power > 130 kW will be<br />

the first group that has to meet this requirement. In accordance with the clean-air<br />

guidelines for the construction industry <strong>and</strong> the Ordinance on Air Pollution Control<br />

(Amendment dated 19 September 2008), some construction machines already have to<br />

be operated with particle filters now. This Swiss requirement had the effect that machines<br />

that are not subject to emission regulations, or for which lower levels apply than<br />

specified in EU IIIB, have been retrofitted with a particle filter system. This is taken<br />

especially into account in the emission calculation model:<br />

> In the case of diesel engines, for inventories for each segment the proportion of<br />

machines retrofitted with a particle filter is indicated or estimated. This proportion<br />

refers to all retrofittable machines, i.e. all machines that are not fitted with a particle<br />

filter system in the factory.<br />

> Since it is above all more recent machines that are retrofitted with particle filter<br />

systems 14 , the calculations for the model are based on the assumption that in each<br />

case the newest machines in the inventory of retrofittable machines have in fact been<br />

retrofitted.<br />

> The particle <strong>emissions</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>fuel</strong> <strong>consumption</strong> of machines that have been retrofitted<br />

with particle filters are adjusted to the corresponding emission levels (particulate<br />

matter, – 90%; particle count, – 95%, <strong>fuel</strong> <strong>consumption</strong> + 3%) using a correction factor.<br />

For both economic <strong>and</strong> technical reasons, generally speaking it is only more recent machines that are retrofitted with particle filter<br />

systems. With older machines, there is a greater risk of technical complications due to increased smoke <strong>emissions</strong>. Furthermore, the<br />

remaining service life of an older machine is shorter, which means that retrofitting is less economically viable.
