Title: Diesel hybridization and emissions.

Abstract

The CTR Vehicle Systems and Fuels team a diesel hybrid powertrain. The goal of this experiment was to investigate and demonstrate the potential of diesel engines for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) in a fuel economy and emissions. The test set-up consisted of a diesel engine coupled to an electric motor driving a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). This hybrid drive is connected to a dynamometer and a DC electrical power source creating a vehicle context by combining advanced computer models and emulation techniques. The experiment focuses on the impact of the hybrid control strategy on fuel economy and emissions-in particular, nitrogen oxides (NO{sub x}) and particulate matter (PM). The same hardware and test procedure were used throughout the entire experiment to assess the impact of different control approaches.

  • Several alternate source diesel test fuels were studied to note their effects on regulated and unregulated exhaust emissions from a 1980 Volkswagen Rabbit. Nine fuel blends were tested, including a No. 2 petroleum diesel as base, base plus coal-derived liquids (via SRC-II and EDS processes), shale oil diesel and jet fuel, and other blends of coal-derived liquids, shale oil liquids, and petroleum stocks. Analyses performed include gaseous hydrocarbons, CO, NOx, particulate mass, phenols, smoke, odor, Ames tests, BaP, and polarity by HPLC. Smoke and particulate increases were generally associated with use of coal-derived liquids.

  • This report describes laboratory emissions evaluation of several alternate-source fuels in a 1980 Volkswagen Rabbit Diesel. Fuels tested included a No. 2 petroleum diesel as base, base plus coal-derived liquids, shale oil diesel fuel and jet fuel, and a blend of petroleum blend stocks with coal and shale liquids. Nine fuels were investigated in all, including the base fuel.

  • Presents the results of a 2,000-hour test of an emissions control system consisting of a nitrogen oxides adsorber catalyst in combination with a diesel particle filter, advanced fuels, and advanced engine controls in an SUV/pick-up truck vehicle platform.

    Particulates contained in the diesel exhaust gas have become an environmental-pollution problem. Consequently, the study to control diesel emission, mainly NOx and particulates, is becoming very important. Therefore, to establish the measuring method of particulates such as soot emitted from diesel engines and the behavior of particulates is a very important subject for air-pollution control and understanding its fundamental conditions. The report presents complete data on the study concerning the establishment of a measuring method for diesel particulates and elucidation of particulate behavior in the atmosphere.

    The paper is concerned with the impact of diesel emissions on the quality of the ambient air and the resulting effects on human health. The study was designed to chemically characterize and bioassay heavy-duty diesel engine exhaust as it exists in the ambient atmosphere. Diesel-emission aerosols were collected inside and outside a large New York City bus terminal in which 1400 buses operated daily. Organics were extracted from inside and outside particulate matter and were fractionated into chemical classes. Air particle concentration inside the building was nearly 3 times greater than outside with the increase in the <1.7 micron particlemore » size. Although both the small particle and extractable organic concentrations were lower outside the terminal, the mutagenicity of the organics (revertants/microgram organics) from outside was nearly 10 times greater than inside the terminal. Results are consistent with studies showing that aged atmospheric organics, having undergone atmospheric transformations, have an increased mutagenic response over fresh aerosol emitted directly from combustion sources.« less
