ANNEX VIU.K. VERIFYING TRANSMISSION, TORQUE CONVERTER, OTHER TORQUE TRANSFERRING COMPONENT AND ADDITIONAL DRIVELINE COMPONENT DATA
1.IntroductionU.K.
This annex describes the certification provisions regarding the torque losses of transmissions, torque converter (TC), other torque transferring components (OTTC) and additional driveline components (ADC) for heavy duty vehicles. In addition it defines calculation procedures for the standard torque losses.
Torque converter (TC), other torque transferring components (OTTC) and additional driveline components (ADC) can be tested in combination with a transmission or as a separate unit. In the case that those components are tested separately the provisions of section 4, 5 and 6 apply. Torque losses resulting from the drive mechanism between the transmission and those components can be neglected.
2.DefinitionsU.K.
For the purposes of this Annex the following definitions shall apply:
‘Transfer case’ means a device that splits the engine power of a vehicle and directs it to the front and rear drive axles. It is mounted behind the transmission and both front and rear drive shafts connect to it. It comprises either a gearwheel set or a chain drive system in which the power is distributed from the transmission to the axles. The transfer case will typically have the ability to shift between standard drive mode (front or rear wheel drive), high range traction mode (front and rear wheel drive), low range traction mode and neutral;
‘Gear ratio’ means the forward gear ratio of the speed of the input shaft (towards prime mover) to the speed of the output shaft (towards driven wheels) without slip (i = nin/nout );
‘Ratio coverage’ means the ratio of the largest to the smallest forward gear ratios in a transmission: φtot = imax/imin ;
‘Compound transmission’ means a transmission, with a large number of forward gears and/or large ratio coverage, composed of sub-transmissions, which are combined to use most power-transferring parts in several forward gears;
‘Main section’ means the sub-transmission that has the largest number of forward gears in a compound transmission;
‘Range section’ means a sub-transmission normally in series connection with the main section in a compound transmission. A range section usually has two shiftable forward gears. The lower forward gears of the complete transmission are embodied using the low range gear. The higher gears are embodied using the high range gear;
‘Splitter’ means a design that splits the main section gears in two (usually) variants, low- and high split gears, whose gear ratios are close compared to the ratio coverage of the transmission. A splitter can be a separate sub-transmission, an add-on device, integrated with the main section or a combination thereof;
‘Tooth clutch’ means a clutch where torque is transferred mainly by normal forces between mating teeth. A tooth clutch can either be engaged or disengaged. It is operated in load-free conditions, only (e.g., at gear shifts in a manual transmission);
‘Angle drive’ means a device that transmits rotational power between non-parallel shafts, often used with transversely oriented engine and longitudinal input to driven axle;
‘Friction clutch’ means clutch for transfer of propulsive torque, where torque is sustainably transferred by friction forces. A friction clutch can transmit torque while slipping, it can thereby (but does not have to) be operated at start-offs and at powershifts (retained power transfer during a gear shift);
‘Synchroniser’ means a type of tooth clutch where a friction device is used to equalise the speeds of the rotating parts to be engaged;
‘Gear mesh efficiency’ means the ratio of output power to input power when transmitted in a forward gear mesh with relative motion;
‘Crawler gear’ means a low forward gear (with speed reduction ratio that is larger than for the non-crawler gears) that is designed to be used infrequently, e.g., at low-speed manoeuvres or occasional up-hill start-offs;
‘Power take-off (PTO)’ means a device on a transmission or an engine to which an auxiliary driven device, e.g., a hydraulic pump, can be connected;
‘Power take-off drive mechanism’ means a device in a transmission that allows the installation of a power take-off (PTO);
‘Lock-up clutch’ means a friction clutch in a hydrodynamic torque converter; it can connect the input and output sides, thereby eliminating the slip;
‘Start-off clutch’ means a clutch that adapts speed between engine and driven wheels when the vehicle starts off. The start-off clutch is usually located between engine and transmission;
‘Synchronised Manual Transmission (SMT)’ means a manually operated transmission with two or more selectable speed ratios that are obtained using synchronisers. Ratio changing is normally achieved during a temporary disconnection of the transmission from the engine using a clutch (usually the vehicle start-off clutch);
‘Automated Manual Transmission or Automatic Mechanically-engaged Transmission (AMT)’ means an automatically shifting transmission with two or more selectable speed ratios that are obtained using tooth clutches (un-/synchronised). Ratio changing is achieved during a temporary disconnection of the transmission from the engine. The ratio shifts are performed by an electronically controlled system managing the timing of the shift, the operation of the clutch between engine and gearbox and the speed and torque of the engine. The system selects and engages the most suitable forward gear automatically, but can be overridden by the driver using a manual mode;
‘Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)’ means an automatically shifting transmission with two friction clutches and several selectable speed ratios that are obtained by the use of tooth clutches. The ratio shifts are performed by an electronically controlled system managing the timing of the shift, the operation of the clutches and the speed and torque of the engine. The system selects the most suitable gear automatically, but can be overridden by the driver using a manual mode;
‘Retarder’ means an auxiliary braking device in a vehicle powertrain; aimed for permanent braking;
‘Case S’ means the serial arrangement of a torque converter and the connected mechanical parts of the transmission;
‘Case P’ means the parallel arrangement of a torque converter and the connected mechanical parts of the transmission (e.g. in power split installations);
‘Automatic Powershifting Transmission (APT)’ means an automatically shifting transmission with more than two friction clutches and several selectable speed ratios that are obtained mainly by the use of those friction clutches. The ratio shifts are performed by an electronically controlled system managing the timing of the shift, the operation of the clutches and the speed and torque of the engine. The system selects the most suitable gear automatically, but can be overridden by the driver using a manual mode. Shifts are normally performed without traction interruption (friction clutch to friction clutch);
‘Oil conditioning system’ means an external system that conditions the oil of a transmission at testing. The system circulates oil to and from the transmission. The oil is thereby filtered and/or temperature conditioned;
‘Smart lubrication system’ means a system that will affect the load independent losses (also called spin losses or drag losses) of the transmission depending on the input torque and/or power flow through the transmission. Examples are controlled hydraulic pressure pumps for brakes and clutches in an APT, controlled variable oil level in the transmission, controlled variable oil flow/pressure for lubrication and cooling in the transmission. Smart lubrication can also include control of the oil temperature of the transmission, but smart lubrication systems that are designed only for controlling the temperature are not considered here, since the transmission testing procedure has fixed testing temperatures;
‘Transmission electric auxiliary’ means an electric auxiliary used for the function of the transmission during running steady state operation. A typical example is an electric cooling/lubrication pump (but not electric gear shift actuators and electronic control systems including electric solenoid valves, since they are low energy consumers, especially at steady state operation);
‘Oil type viscosity grade’ means a viscosity grade as defined by SAE J306;
‘Factory fill oil’ means the oil type viscosity grade that is used for the oil fill in the factory and which is intended to stay in the transmission, torque converter, other torque transferring component or in an additional driveline component for the first service interval;
‘Gearscheme’ means the arrangement of shafts, gearwheels and clutches in a transmission;
‘Powerflow’ means the transfer path of power from input to output in a transmission via shafts, gearwheels and clutches.

4.Torque converter (TC)U.K.
The torque converter characteristics to be determined for the simulation tool input consist of Tpum 1000 (the reference torque at 1 000 rpm input speed) and μ (the torque ratio of the torque converter). Both are depending on the speed ratio v (= output (turbine) speed / input (pump) speed for the torque converter) of the torque converter.
For determination of the characteristics of the TC, the applicant for a certificate shall apply the following method, irrespective of the chosen option for the assessment of the transmission torque losses.
To take the two possible arrangements of the TC and the mechanical transmission parts into account, the following differentiation between case S and P shall apply:
:
TC and mechanical transmission parts in serial arrangement
:
TC and mechanical transmission parts in parallel arrangement (power split installation)
For case S arrangements the TC characteristics may be evaluated either separate from the mechanical transmission or in combination with the mechanical transmission. For case P arrangements the evaluation of TC characteristic is only possible in combination with the mechanical transmission. However, in this case and for the hydromechanical gears subject to measurement the whole arrangement, torque converter and mechanical transmission, is considered as a TC with similar characteristic curves as a sole torque converter.
For the determination of the torque converter characteristics two measurement options may be applied:
Option A: measurement at constant input speed
Option B: measurement at constant input torque according to SAE J643
The manufacturer may choose option A or B for case S and case P arrangements.
For the input to the simulation tool, the torque ratio μ and reference torque Tpum of the torque converter shall be measured for a range of v ≤ 0,95 (= vehicle propulsion mode). The range of v ≥ 1,00 (= vehicle coasting mode) may either be measured or covered by using the standard values of Table 1.
In case of measurements together with a mechanical transmission the overrun point may be different from v = 1,00 and therefor the range of measured speed ratios shall be adjusted accordingly.
In case of use of standard values the data on torque converter characteristics provided to the simulation tool shall only cover the range of v ≤ 0,95 (or the adjusted speed ratio). The simulation tool automatically adds the standard values for overrun conditions.

5.Other torque transferring components (OTTC)U.K.
The scope of this section includes engine retarders, transmission retarders, driveline retarders, and components that are treated in the simulation tool as a retarder. These components include vehicle starting devices like a single wet transmission input clutch or hydro-dynamic clutch.
5.1.Methods for establishing retarder drag lossesU.K.
The retarder drag torque loss is a function of the retarder rotor speed. Since the retarder can be integrated in different parts of the vehicle driveline, the retarder rotor speed depends on the drive part (= speed reference) and step-up ratio between drive part and retarder rotor as shown in Table 2.
Table 2
Retarder rotor speeds
where:
=
step-up ratio = retarder rotor speed/drive part speed
=
transmission ratio = transmission input speed/transmission output speed
Retarder configurations that are integrated in the engine and cannot be separated from the engine shall be tested in combination with the engine. This section does not cover these non-separable engine integrated retarders.
Retarders that can be disconnected from the driveline or the engine by any kind of clutch are considered to have zero rotor speed in disconnected condition and therefore have no power losses.
The retarder drag losses shall be measured with one of the following two methods:
Measurement on the retarder as a stand-alone unit
Measurement in combination with the transmission
5.1.1.General requirementsU.K.
In case the losses are measured on the retarder as stand-alone unit, the results are affected by the torque losses in the bearings of the test setup. It is permitted to measure these bearing losses and subtract them from the retarder drag loss measurements.
The manufacturer shall guarantee that the retarder used for the measurements is in accordance with the drawing specifications for series production retarders.
Modifications to the retarder to meet the testing requirements of this Annex, e.g. for the inclusion of measurement sensors or the adaption of an external oil conditioning systems are permitted.
Based on the family described in Appendix 6 to this Annex, measured drag losses for transmissions with retarder can be used for the same (equivalent) transmission without retarder.
The use of the same transmission unit for measuring the torque losses of variants with and without retarder is permitted.
Upon request of the approval authority the applicant for a certificate shall specify and prove the conformity with the requirements defined in this Annex.
5.1.2.Run-inU.K.
On request of the applicant a run-in procedure may be applied to the retarder. The following provisions shall apply for a run-in procedure.
5.1.2.1If the manufacturer applies a run-in procedure to the retarder, the run-in time for the retarder shall not exceed 100 hours at zero retarder apply torque. Optionally a share of a maximum of 6 hours with retarder apply torque may be included.U.K.

For hydrodynamic retarders:
Except for the fluid, no external heating is allowed.
In case of testing as stand-alone unit, the retarder fluid temperature (oil or water) shall not exceed 87 °C.
In case of testing in combination with transmission, the oil temperature limits for transmission testing shall apply.
5.1.3.4.Oil or water qualityU.K.
New, recommended first fill oil for the European market shall be used in the test.
For water retarders the water quality shall meet the specifications set out by the manufacturer for the retarder. The water pressure shall be set to a fixed value close to vehicle condition (1 ± 0,2 bar relative pressure at retarder input hose).
5.1.3.5.Oil viscosityU.K.
If several oils are recommended for first fill, they are considered to be equal if the oils have a kinematic viscosity within 50 % of each other at the same temperature (within the specified tolerance band for KV100).
5.1.3.6.Oil or water levelU.K.
The oil/water level shall meet the nominal specifications for the retarder.
5.1.4.InstallationU.K.
The electric machine, the torque sensor, and speed sensor shall be mounted at the input side of the retarder or transmission.
The installation of the retarder (and transmission) shall be done with an inclination angle as for installation in the vehicle according to the homologation drawing ± 1° or at 0° ± 1°.

Maximum engine speed at maximum power (determined from the engine full-load curve as calculated by the engine pre-processing tool) [rpm]
=
Maximum engine torque (determined from the engine full-load curve as calculated by the engine pre-processing tool) [Nm]
Thereby the generic TC characteristics are valid only for a combination of the TC with an engine sharing the same specific characteristic engine data.
Description of the four-point model for the torque capacity of the TC:
Generic torque capacity and generic torque ratio:
where:
=
Speed ratio at overrun point; 
For TC with rotating housing (Trilock-Type) vs typically is 1. For other TC concepts, especially power split concepts, vs may have values different from 1.
=
Stall point; v 0 = 0 [rpm]
The model requires the following definitions for the calculation of the generic torque capacity:
Stall point:
Stall point at 70 % nominal engine speed.
Engine torque in stall point at 80 % maximum engine torque.
Engine/Pump reference torque in stall point:
Intermediate point:
Intermediate speed ratio vm = 0,6 * vs
Engine/pump reference torque in intermediate point at 80 % of reference torque in stall point:
Coupling point:
Coupling point at 90 % overrun conditions: vc = 0,90 * vs
Engine/pump reference torque in clutch point at 50 % of reference torque in stall point:
Overrun point:
Reference torque at overrun conditions = vs :
The model requires the following definitions for the calculation of the generic torque ratio:
Stall point:
Torque ratio at stall point v0 = vs = 0:
Intermediate point:
Linear interpolation between stall point and coupling point
Coupling point:
Torque ratio at coupling point vc = 0,9 * vs :
Overrun point:
Torque ratio at overrun conditions = vs :
Efficiency:
n = μ * v
Linear interpolation between the calculated specific points shall be used.

Appendix 11
Standard torque loss values – geared angle drive U.K.
Consistent with the standard torque loss values for the combination of a transmission with a geared angle drive in Appendix 8, the standard torque losses of a geared angle drive without transmission shall be calculated from:
where:
=
Torque loss related to the input shaft of transmission [Nm]
=
Additional angle drive gear drag torque at x rpm [Nm]
(if applicable)
=
Speed at the input shaft of transmission [rpm]
=
1-η;
=
efficiency
=

=
Torque at the input shaft of transmission [Nm]
=
Maximum allowed input torque in any forward gear of transmission [Nm]
=
max(Tmax,in,gear)
=
Maximum allowed input torque in gear, where gear = 1, 2, 3,… top gear)
The standard torque losses obtained by the calculations above may be added to the torque losses of a transmission obtained by Options 1-3 in order to obtain the torque losses for the combination of the specific transmission with an angle drive.
