Abstract

Exhaust particulate and gas composition samples were obtained at various distances along an externally air cooled exhaust from a Perkins 4-236 single cylinder engine. The change in the particulate composition was determined as a function of the exhaust distance and local temperature. Exhaust temperatures were in the range 200 - 260C at entry to the tunnel at all engine conditions. A constant filter paper and sample temperature of 50C was used for both exhaust and dilution tunnel samples and the filter paper was mounted in an oven for this purpose and the particulate sample was transported through heated lines to this oven. Associated with these particulate measurements were gas analysis measurements. UHC were measured at 180, 50 and 2C in the exhaust and the differences were taken as an indicator of the condensable hydrocarbons over that temperature difference. The results are described in this paper.

A comparison of exhaust pipe, dilution tunnel and roadside diesel particulate SOF and gaseous hydrocarbon emissions

Conference Williams, P; Abbass, M; Tam, L; ...

The solvent organic fraction (SOF) of particulates from the exhaust pipe of a diesel engine, a dilution tunnel and a roadside sample are compared. Three different techniques of SOF analysis are also compared, vacuum oven, solvent extraction and pyroprobe/GC. Gaseous hydrocarbons and the methane contribution were measured in the exhaust pipe throughout the speed and load range of the engine at 185 C and 2 C. The unburnt hydrocarbons decreased with air/fuel ratio for all speeds and there was an overall decrease in emissions with increasing speed. The differential temperature technique showed the maximum mass of hydrocarbon which could condensemore »« less
Chemical and biological characterization of particulate-, semivolatile-, and gas-phase-associated compounds in diluted heavy-duty diesel exhausts: A comparison of three different semivolatile-phase samplers

Journal Article Westerholm, R; Almen, J; Li, Hang; ... - Environmental Science and Technology; (United States)

Exhaust emission from a heavy-duty diesel vehicle during transient driving conditions have been characterized chemically and tested for mutagenicity. Both the particulate phase and the semivolatile phase were investigated chemically and by the Ames test. Three different sampling techniques, i.e., cryocondensation and two adsorbents XAD-2 and polyurethane foam (PUF), were used for collection of the semivolatile phase together with a particulate filter situated upstream. The cryogenic technique was the least efficient type and the PUF technique gave the highest recovery of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and mutagenic activity. The amount of PAH, mainly three-ringed PAH, emitted in the semivolatile phasemore »« less

Particulate measurement issues in diesel exhausts using laser induced incandescence

Conference Gupta, S; Poola, R; Sekar, R

A number of studies in the recent past have identified Laser Induced Incandescence (LII) as a versatile technique for in-flame measurement of soot concentrations. Recently, a number of researchers have focused their attention in adapting this technique to measure particulate in diesel exhausts. However the agreement with established physical sampling techniques, such as the EPA recommended filter paper collection method, was found to be less than ideal. This paper reports the efforts to adapt this technique for diesel exhaust characterization. Many of the factors affecting LII signal were identified through computer modeling. Parameters that could not be determined through suchmore »« less

Characterization of gaseous and particulate emissions from light duty diesels operated on various fuels. Final report

Technical Report Hare, C

Gaseous and particulate emissions of a non-routine nature were measured in the exhausts of two light-duty Diesel-powered automobiles. These vehicles were a Mercedes 240D and a Volkswagen Rabbit Diesel. Visible exhaust smoke, regulated gaseous pollutants, and exhaust odor were also measured. Five fuels were used in his investigation, representing broad ranges in sulfur content, hydrocarbon-type composition, density, centane index, and a number of other properties. Vehicle operating procedures used for test purposes included both those specified in Federal Regulations and several others simulating different driving situations. Gas samples were acquired from both direct and dilute exhaust streams. Particulate samples weremore »« less
Diesel particulate emissions

Conference Abbass, M; Andrews, G; Williams, P; ...

The objective was to investigate combustion generated PAH in Diesel engine particulate emissions using a pure single component fuel, hexadecane, in a Perkins 4-236 engine in a single cylinder format. The results were compared with those using a conventional Diesel fuel and with the particulates collected by motoring the engine. To minimise any influence of contamination from the PAH in used lubricating oil, all the tests were carried out with fresh PAH free lubricating oil. The hexadecane particulates were found to contain 6-25% of the PAH and 5-9% of the n-alkanes for Diesel and the motoring tests were found tomore »« less
