RICE ENGINES
12/20/2016 3
• A stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engine(RICE) is any internal combustion engine which usesreciprocating motion to convert heat energy intomechanical work and is not mobile. They are not used inroad vehicles or non-road mobile applications, such asbulldozers, mowers, cranes etc.
• SI = Spark Ignition 2SLB = 2 Stroke Lean Burn4SRB = 4 Stroke Rich Burn
• CI = Compression Ignition
Engine Stroke and Burn Definition Four-Stroke Engine: Any type of engine which completes the power cycle in two crankshaft revolutions, with intake and compression strokes in the first revolution and power and exhaust strokes in the second revolution.Two-Stroke Engine: Any type of engine which completes the power cycle in single crankshaft revolution by combining the intake and compression operations into one stroke and the power and exhaust operations into a second stroke.Rich Burn Engine: Any four-stroke spark ignited engine where the manufacturer’s recommended operating air/fuel ratio divided by the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio at full conditions is less than or equal to 1.1. All existing engines where no manufacturer’s recommendations regarding air/fuel ratio will be considered a rich burn engine if excess oxygen of exhaust at full load is less or equal to 2 percent.Lean Burn Engine: Any two-stroke or four-stroke spark ignited (SI) engine that does not meet the definition of a Rich Burn Engine.

First Step - Identify your engine
12/20/2016 5
• Is the engine a “CI” (Compression Ignition) or a “SI” (Spark Ignition)?
• What is the horsepower?• Is Cylinder displacement 30 liters or less? Or more?• When was engine ordered? Manufactured?
Modified/Reconstructed?• Is the engine certified by the manufacture?• Is the engine located in a MAJOR source or AREA source of
HAP?• Is the engine a Non-Emergency or Emergency engine?• What is maximum fuel consumption to be used per year?
(Gallons or Cubic Ft.).• Is the engine in a DEP Permitted Facility?
Existing vs. New

More than 500 HP at a major source• If construction commenced before Dec. 19, 2002, it is
EXISTING!…………… If not, it is NEW.

Diesel Engine Tiers
* Diesel Emissions Tiers 1 to 3• Tier 1 standards were phased-in from 1996 to 2000.
The more stringent• Tier 2 standards took effect from 2001 to 2006, and
yet more stringent • Tier 3 standards phased-in from 2006 to 2008 (Tier 3
standards applied only for engines from 50 -750 hp).

Diesel Engine Tiers (cont.)
12/20/2016 8
* Diesel Emissions Tier 4 Standards
Tier 4 Standards (phased-in over a period of 2008-2015) require that emissions of PM and NOx be further reduced by about 90%. It also includes more stringent HC limits. (CO emission limits remain unchanged from Tier 2-3 stage).
Such emission reductions can be achieved through the use of control technologies—including advanced exhaust gas after-treatment.
