Influence of Biogenic Fuel on the Exhaust Gas and theHealth Effects

摘要

The increasingly stringent regulations for diesel engine exhaust emissions require thatfuels and engines must be developed jointly. In the future, so-called designer fuels will help toachieve the stringent limits. In our research, conventional diesel fuel, biodiesel, Swedish low sulfurdiesel fuel MK1 and a specially designed diesel fuel were compared using a DaimlerChrysler dieselengine running the modes of the ECE-R 49 test cycle. The results for regulated and non-regulatedexhaust emissions; particulate matter size distributions as well as mutagenic effects of particle extractsare reported.
