Solid nanoparticle and gaseous emissions of a diesel engine with a diesel particulate filter and use of a high-sulphur diesel fuel and a medium-sulphur diesel fuel

Abstract
High-sulphur and medium-sulphur diesel fuels are still used in several countries. Although diesel particulate filter technology for on-road diesel engines has existed since 1989, the availability of high-sulphur and medium-sulphur diesel fuels in the market causes delays in the use of catalysed filter technologies. However, the situation in places such as Tehran is considered unhealthy because of particles and black carbon, and full distribution of ultra-low-sulphur diesel is awaited eagerly. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the sulphur content in fuels on the gaseous and solid exhaust emissions of a 220 kW Euro II engine equipped with a sintered metal active-passive...
Investigation of DPF-CRT Performance in Relation with Diesel Fuel Sulfur Content

Abstract
Iran’s big cities air pollution is one of the major challenges to authorities in view of public health. Tehran City has been facing more and more air quality problems over the last decade. The criteria pollutants in Tehran are PM2.5, PM10. Particulates and especially ultrafine particles have been identified as the most toxic component of the polluting mixture. Considering diesel engine operation concepts, these types of engines are one of the main source emission of ultrafine particles, with more than 58%, in Tehran. So controlling particulates emitted from these sources, is one of the first steps to improve air quality. Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) are well-known and effective way to...
Investigating the Performance of Non-Catalyzed Diesel Particulate Filters Operating in Real World Driving Conditions

Abstract
Studies in recent years show that more than 57% of all suspended particles released from stationary and mobile sources in Tehran are from diesel vehicles. Reducing the release of this pollutant can be very effective in improving the air condition of Tehran. At the moment, Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) are considered as the most effective and available technology to reduce particulate emissions from diesel engine exhaust. In this research, the results of the tests on two types of non-catalyzed DPFs under Iran’s conditions have been analyzed. In the motor test, the efficiency of the filters is monitored in the state of operation with the engine representing the country's diesel engines and...
Engine Exhaust Temperature Control By Throttling
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Hosseini, Vahid (Supervisor)
Abstract
Diesel particulate filters (DPFs) are used in active and passive regeneration exhaust systems in order to reduce the soot emission of diesel engines. Soot regeneration process initiates at a certain minimum temperature. In Compression Ignition (CI) engines, the intake is not throttled usually, and load control is carried out by adjusting the amount of fuel injected into the cylinders. Consequently in low load working condition, as the fuel mass decreases, the air to fuel ratio increases that results in lowered exhaust gas temperature. On the other hand, passive regeneration strategies alone are not enough and it should be backed up by an active regeneration system in order to guarantee...
