Monitoring and Laboratory Division April 25, 2002 Planning and Technical Support Division Mobile Source Control Division California Air Resources Board
Proposed Control Measure to Reduce Emissions from Small Off-Road Engines
(SORE)
![Page 2: Monitoring and Laboratory Division April 25, 2002 Planning and Technical Support Division Mobile Source Control Division California Air Resources Board](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ec55503460f94bcf760/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Elements of SORE Control Measure
• Exhaust Element – Revises exhaust emission standards for non-handheld equipment
• Evaporative Element– New evaporative emission standard for walk-behind mowers (WBMs)– Requires new fuel tanks to meet a permeation standard (applicable
to all handheld and non-handheld SORE categories)– Proposing design-based certification requirements
![Page 3: Monitoring and Laboratory Division April 25, 2002 Planning and Technical Support Division Mobile Source Control Division California Air Resources Board](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ec55503460f94bcf760/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Goals of the Evaporative Element of SORE Control Measure
• Reduce diurnal evaporative emissions from non-handheld equipment by 70% (17.6 TPD)
• Reduce diurnal evaporative emissions from handheld equipment by 40% (1.5 TPD)
• Use readily available technology to reduce emissions• Allow flexible certification requirements to reduce burden on
industry
![Page 4: Monitoring and Laboratory Division April 25, 2002 Planning and Technical Support Division Mobile Source Control Division California Air Resources Board](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ec55503460f94bcf760/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Status of the Regulatory Effort
• Identified evaporative emission processes• Finalizing OFFROAD emissions inventory• Developed evaporative emission test procedures• Quantified SORE evaporative emissions• Performed emission reduction testing• Developing draft regulatory language
![Page 5: Monitoring and Laboratory Division April 25, 2002 Planning and Technical Support Division Mobile Source Control Division California Air Resources Board](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ec55503460f94bcf760/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Evaporative Emission Processes
• Running Loss Emissions– Evaporative emissions that occur during equipment
operation
• Hot Soak Emissions– Evaporative emissions that result from latent heat– Typically generated for a one-hour period after equipment
operation
• Diurnal Emissions– Evaporative emissions that result from daily temperature
variations– Includes permeation emissions (fuel line and tank)
![Page 6: Monitoring and Laboratory Division April 25, 2002 Planning and Technical Support Division Mobile Source Control Division California Air Resources Board](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ec55503460f94bcf760/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Status of Inventory Development
• Contract testing at Automotive Testing Laboratories (ATL) nearly complete
• Will repeat wintertime testing with winter pump fuel (High RVP) to develop temperature correction factor
• Have requested a contract augmentation to perform additional tank replacement testing on handheld and large non-handheld equipment
• Performing data reduction to modify current OFFROAD emission factors
![Page 7: Monitoring and Laboratory Division April 25, 2002 Planning and Technical Support Division Mobile Source Control Division California Air Resources Board](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ec55503460f94bcf760/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
In-House Evaporative Emissions Testing
• Baseline Emissions– Background diurnal emissions from new equipment– Summertime hot soak and diurnal emissions– Summertime ROG emissions using fuel containing ethanol– Fuel tank vented emissions– Wintertime hot soak and diurnal emissions– Fuel tank permeation emissions
• Emissions Reduction Testing– Walk-behind mowers– Barrier treated HDPE fuel tanks
![Page 8: Monitoring and Laboratory Division April 25, 2002 Planning and Technical Support Division Mobile Source Control Division California Air Resources Board](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ec55503460f94bcf760/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Manufactured at least one month prior to testing• Emissions less than 0.1 gram/day

Previously Proposed Diurnal Standard for WBMs
• Maximum allowable diurnal emissions– (1.0 grams HC/day)
• Result must be obtained with a 40 CFR Part 86 compliant SHED
• Temperature profile - (65°F - 105°F - 65 °F)• Test fuel - California certification fuel• Fill level - tank will be tested at a 50% Fill Level• Diurnal test must be performed after a 1-hour hot soak
test and subsequent 2-hour cold soak at 65 °F
![Page 25: Monitoring and Laboratory Division April 25, 2002 Planning and Technical Support Division Mobile Source Control Division California Air Resources Board](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ec55503460f94bcf760/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
New Proposal
• Design-Based Standard– Requires no SHED testing by manufacturers– Manufacturers not held to a specific numerical standard– Certification protocol to be developed– ARB performs in-use testing
• Design Standards would apply to all non-handheld portable equipment
![Page 26: Monitoring and Laboratory Division April 25, 2002 Planning and Technical Support Division Mobile Source Control Division California Air Resources Board](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ec55503460f94bcf760/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Example of Design Requirements for WBMs
• Certify by design– Use or specify a fuel tank that is automatically sealed when
equipment is stored– Use or specify a fuel tank that meets a prescribed level of
treatment– Use or specify a SAE 2260 category 1 low permeation fuel
line– Use or specify a tethered fuel cap
![Page 27: Monitoring and Laboratory Division April 25, 2002 Planning and Technical Support Division Mobile Source Control Division California Air Resources Board](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ec55503460f94bcf760/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Our Estimated Costs of Evaporative Controls
• Cost to Comply with the Permeation Standard ($2.00 - $3.00 per tank)
• Cost to Comply with the Design-Based Standard ($15.00 per unit)– Controlled venting mechanism - ($7.00 - $10.00)– Low permeation fuel line ($2.00)– Compliant fuel tank ($2.00 - $3.00)
• We Request Industry Estimates of the Cost to Produce Equipment that Meets the Proposed Design-Based Requirements
