The Impact of Various Fuels on Particulate Emissions for a Compression Ignition Engine Equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter
Keywords:
particulate emissions, particulate filters, smoke emission
Abstract
The aim of this research was to highlight the impact of using different types of fuels on particulate emissions and also on the operation on particulate filters on diesel engines. For all the results obtained from the experimental tests, comparative studies were performed to find the optimal fuel mixture that can be used in order to obtain the optimal performance of the particle filter, without affecting the engine performance. Following the initial tests performed without DPF, the case with the highest smoke emission value (2000 1/min) was identified. For this case, continuous measurement tests were then performed. For this reason, a more detailed analysis was made only for this case.
