An Experimental Study Of A Passive Nox Adsorber (Pna) For The Reduction Of Cold Start Diesel Emissions, Conor Berndt
An Experimental Study Of A Passive Nox Adsorber (Pna) For The Reduction Of Cold Start Diesel Emissions, Conor Berndt
Dissertations, Master's Theses and Master's Reports
Medium and heavy-duty diesel engines contribute nearly a third of all NOx emissions nationwide. Further reduction of NOx emissions from medium and heavy-duty diesel engines is needed in order to meet National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ambient particulate matter and ozone. Current diesel engine aftertreatment systems are very efficient at reducing NOx emissions at exhaust temperatures above 200 °C, however at exhaust temperatures below 200 °C there are significant NOx emissions at the tailpipe. Therefore, a reduction of diesel engine cold start and low speed/load operation emissions, where exhaust temperatures are below 200 °C, is needed. Utilizing a …
