  1. Performance Evaluation of Advanced Technology Diesel Oxidation Catalysts 13th U.S./North American Mine Ventilation Symposium June 13-16, 2010 M. K. Gangal, B. Rubeli & D.A. Young (Natural Resources Canada) J. Stekar (Catalytic Exhaust Products) Report#10-052 (OP)

  2. Background • DOCs in use since 1970’s to reduce CO, HC, DPM, odour • Rate of reduction varies on washcoat, metal type and loading, temperature • Many conventional DOCs oxidize NO NO2, SO2 sulphate H2SO4 • Need DOCs to reduce NO2 also

  3. Conventional DOCs • Substrate made of ceramic, metallic materials • Coated with precious metals (platinum, palladium), mostly to reduce CO, HC • Coated with base metals (cerium, iron), mostly to reduce SOF • Coated with both to reduce, CO, HC, SOF • Reduction, CO (60-95%), HC (50-80%), DPM (10-30%), NO2 (??)

  4. NO2 Concentration before and after a Conventional DOC

  5. Some Characteristics of Tested DOCs

  6. Laboratory Testing • Kubota engine V3307-DI-T, 3,3L • Rated at 55.4 kW @ 2600 rpm • 4 Cylinder, DI, turbocharged • Cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) • Conforms to EPA interim tier 4 emission • Confirms to CAN/CSA-M424.2-M90 for non-gassy underground mines

  7. Fuel Used for this Study

  8. ISO 8178-C1, 8 Mode Test Cycle

  9. Test Measurements • Engine parameters • Speed, torque, power, fuel rate, airflow rate, exhaust temperature • Exhaust gases • CO, CO2, NO, NOx, O2, HC • Particulates (DPM) • Engine intake restriction set at 4 kPa • Engine exhaust backpressure set at 15 kPa

  10. CO Concentration at Test Modes

  11. Carbon Monoxide Reduction with Exhaust Temperature

  12. Hydrocarbon Reduction with Exhaust Temperature

  13. Net Reduction in NO2 with Exhaust Temperature

  14. Reduction in Exhaust Quality Index at Test Modes

  15. Comments • All DOCs were found to be equally effective in reducing CO(84-86%) and HC (71-74%) based on mass emission rate • All DOCs reduced DPM, DOC-A (9%). DOC-B (12%), DOC-C(20%) based on mass emission rates • Reduction in NO2 was, DOC-A (29%), DOC-B (-106%), and DOC-C (-55%) based on mass emission rate

  16. Comments • Exhaust gas temperature plays a important part in reducing NO2, all tested DOCs reduced NO2 concentration below 350 ºC • DOCs produced varying degree of results even if they are sized properly, hence it important to get a proper DOC for the required engine and duty cycle. • Advanced DOCs are available which reduce NO2 as well as DPM.

  17. MDEC ConferenceOctober 5-8, 2010 • Hilton Toronto Airport Hotel • October 3/4 – Field Trip to Cummins Engine Plant, NY • October 5 – Diesel Workshop on Advanced Engine Technology and Biodiesel • October 6/7- Technical sessions • October 8 – Roundtable Forum • For more info: www.mdec.ca
