Effects of Diesel Fuel Sulfur Level on Performance of a Continuously Regenerating Diesel Particulate Filter and a Catalyzed Particulate Filter

摘要

This paper reports the test results form the DPF (diesel particulate filter) portion of the DECSE (Diesel Emission Control-Sulfur Effects) Phase 1 test program. The DECSE program is a joint government and industry Program to study the impact of diesel fuel sulfur level on Aftertreamtent devices. A systematic investigation was conducted to study the Effects of diesel fuel sulfur level on (1) the emissions Performance and (2) the regeneration behavior of a Continuously regenerating diesel particulate filter and a Catalyzed diesel particulate filter.
