Characterization of Toxicologically Relevant Compounds From Diesel Emissions: Phase II

Abstract

A light-duty diesel engine fitted with a common-rail fuel injection system was calibrated on several alternative type test fuels to achieve low engine-out oxides of nitrogen (NOx) exhaust emissions. In conjunction with the Low NOx operating conditions, a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst and a catalyzed Diesel Particulate Filter were sized for the engine and exhaust species characterized. The exhaust was characterized for toxicologically relevant gaseous compounds at engine-out, DOC-out, and DPF-out locations. Exhaust Particulate Matter was characterized for toxicologically relevant compounds at engine-out and DOC-out locations. Known low emitting fuels maintained their low emission characteristics at the Low-NOx operating condition. The emissions of toxicologically relevant compounds were altered by the catalytic surfaces.
