Fluid-Dynamic Investigation and Optical Characterization of Particulate to Reduce Diesel Emissions

摘要

This paper reports recent studies on air motion in a new combustion chamber geometry that reduces the exhaust emission and an on-line optical characterization of the particulate emitted at the exhaust for a development of an after treatment device. A direct injection (d.i.), heavy-duty, single cylinder diesel engine with an optical access, operating at 1000 rpm under motored conditions, was used.
