BS EN 15429-3:2015EN 15429-3:2015 (E) 4 Introduction Road sweep
20、ers are designed to clean transportation surfaces of varying textures. These surfaces exist in many forms, including roadways, sidewalks, and parking lots throughout urban and rural areas. Different size fractions of debris, dirt, and fine dust that originate from various sources accumulate on these
21、 surfaces. Fine road dust components, including particulate matter classified as PM10and PM2,5, are of particular interest due to the respiratory health hazards that have been associated with these fine particulates. The European air quality directive requires municipalities throughout Europe to mon
22、itor airborne particulate levels, and initiate action plans when prescribed limits are exceeded. Since transportation surfaces are significant accumulators of fine particulate, regular sweeping of these surfaces has been identified as a method that can potentially reduce particulate matter pollution
23、. Different road sweeper technologies and configurations are available for various sweeping applications. However, the ability of the different technologies and configurations to remove and capture particulate matter from the road surface, and minimize the level of airborne particulates resulting fr
24、om sweeping, has not been thoroughly evaluated for adequate technical information on this issue to be available. As a result, municipalities may have difficulty selecting a sweeper best suited to a particular sweeping application when making purchasing decisions. The test method for determining PM10
25、and PM2,5efficiency of road sweepers has been developed to provide an objective and quantitative procedure for assessing the ability of a road sweeper to remove fine particulate from typical paved asphalt surfaces and to reduce the amount of airborne fine particulate generated as a result of the swe
26、eping process. BS EN 15429-3:2015EN 15429-3:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard establishes a method to assess the PM10and PM2,5efficiency of road sweepers. PM10and PM2,5efficiency includes a sweepers ability to: Remove and capture PM10and PM2,5particulate matter, and coarse size fractions, fr
27、om typical urban road surfaces; Minimize the amount of airborne and entrained PM10and PM2,5particulate matter resulting from the sweeping process. The sweepers ability to remove and capture particulate matter and coarse size fractions is assessed using procedures and equipment to determine the amoun
28、t of a test material (consisting of particulate matter and coarser size fractions) the sweeper is able to remove from a test surface during a controlled test run. This test measurement is used to calculate the removal efficiency for the sweeper. The sweepers ability to minimize the amount of airborn
29、e and entrained particulate matter is also assessed using procedures and equipment to determine the airborne concentrations of PM10and PM2,5resulting from the sweeping of a test material (consisting of particulate matter and coarser size fractions) during a controlled test run. The test measurements
30、 are used to calculate PM10and PM2,5emission ratings for the sweeper. This test allows the use of dust suppression water. Sweepers configured as flushing machines, or equipped with front-mounted spray bars which are not part of a dust suppression water system are not within the scope of this test. T
31、he road sweepers performance results are reported in a quantitative numerical format that will allow comparative assessments of similarly classified sweepers. This test does not specify pass/fail criteria for the PM10and PM2,5efficiency measurements specified in the test procedure. This test is appl
32、icable to truck mounted, self-propelled, towed and attached sweeping equipment as defined in EN 15429-1:2007, Clause 2. This test is a model/type test, requiring the sweeper being tested to be representative of all factory production of that particular sweeper model. 2 Normative references The follo

39、with flushing water 4 Test method features A test facility (see Figure A.1) is utilized for performing the sweeper test to create a controlled test environment that provides some isolation from the variable effects and influences of the ambient environment. This controlled test environment results i
40、n testing conditions that are consistent and repeatable, which translates into more credible test results. The controlled test environment is created within the test facility using two end wall assemblies to enclose a centrally located, 20 m long sweeper test area. All measurements used to establish
41、 test sweeper performance results are performed within the confines of the sweeper test area. The test facility configuration and sweeper test methodology capture and evaluate performance of the test sweeper while it is in a steady-state operating mode under controlled and consistent test conditions
42、. As the test sweeper travels through the test facility in full operational mode, a representative sampling of test sweeper performance is taken as it sweeps a test material that simulates road dirt within the controlled conditions of the sweeper test area. A known amount of test material is applied
43、 to the test surface to determine the removal efficiency of the test sweeper. The amount of applied test material, although much greater than typical street loading conditions, promotes confidence and repeatability in the test measurements performed. A sweeper test consists of four valid, individual
44、 test runs performed over a period of one or more consecutive days. If weather conditions disrupt testing on an individual day, or prevent testing over consecutive days, the next test run can be postponed and performed when weather and/or test course conditions permit testing to resume. Postponement
45、 due to adverse weather conditions will not void the sweeper test. BS EN 15429-3:2015EN 15429-3:2015 (E) 7 Of the four individual test runs performed, only the three most consistent test runs yielding the lowest PM emission ratings and highest removal efficiency results will be used to establish the
46、 final sweeper test performance results. The results from these three test runs will be averaged to determine the final sweeper test performance results for both removal efficiency and PM emission rating. A test sweeper can be tested under various operational settings, as it is logical to assume tha
47、t a change in operational settings will have a positive or negative influence on the test sweepers emission rating and/or removal efficiency performance. It is also reasonable to assume that a sweeper manufacturer will have identified the operational settings required for optimum sweeper performance
48、 in the specified test conditions. Once the optimum operational settings are established, the settings shall remain unchanged throughout the series of four individual test runs that comprise a sweeper test. If an operational setting change is required to improve sweeper performance, a new series of
49、four test runs shall be performed. The operational settings shall be fully documented for each series of test runs. Dust suppression water can be used to achieve optimum emission rating and removal efficiency results. Since the amount of dust suppression water applied will affect both, emission rating and removal efficiency results, the dust suppression water application rate selected for a series of test runs shall be measured and reported with the results of a sweeper test. Vacuuming of the test surface in the sweeper test area is perfor
