Results Particulates Project
Regulated cycle Conclusions -1 • Conventional Euro 2 & 3 diesels were found • in a narrow range with respect to PM mass emissions, active surface area, solid particle number • not affected by fuel sulfur content • Total particle number emissions were also found within a narrow range not particularly prone to artifacts • Trap equipped diesels are associated with massive reductions of particle emissions • one order of magnitude in terms of mass • 2 to 4 orders of magnitude in terms of surface area, solid particles, total particles. • Some evidence of influence of higher fuel sulfur content (300 mg/kg) on nucleation mode particles Particulates Project
Regulated cycle Conclusions -2 • DISIs had measurable mass emissions, though well below diesel Euro 4 limit • Active surface area, solid particle numbers and total particle numbers reveal a similar to mass behavior of DISI vehicles. • No consistent fuel effects were revealed • Port injected gasoline vehicles were found to be emitting at or below the levels of DPF equipped diesels and this for all particle parameters tested. • Their emissions performance was found to be variable, strongly depending on the characteristics of the engine management very little affected by fuel sulfur Particulates Project
High power cycle Conclusions -3 • High power driving may lead to an up to one order of magnitude increase in particle emissions, and generally more variable behavior, irrespective of the property used to characterize them. • The emission increase more pronounced in the case DPF equipped vehicles operated on the higher sulfur fuel (300 mg/kg). This is related with the regeneration attempts, initiated during the high temperature operation over this cycle. • Exception to this behavior was the concentration of solid particles which, despite their increase, were found below conventional diesel levels Particulates Project
