Abstract The environmental pollution is one of the major strategic factors for decision-makers both in industry as well as in government. It has been established beyond doubt that the tailpipe emission shows significant effect on environment. It is clear that the vehicles form the predominant source of regulated and unregulated pollution. The environmental degradation all over the world has led to research, which resulted in the development of low emission vehicle and ultra low emission vehicle. In this work, performance of Low Mass Electrically Heated Metal Catalyst (LMEHMC) on the emission from SI engine has been experimentally investigated. Behaviors of chromium and copper oxides under various conditions were studied. It is found that the HC and CO emissions were reduced considerably when LMEHMC used with existing catalytic converter.

The control of automobile exhaust emission has become one of the most important technologies for a modern vehicles. Catalytic conversion technology of three-way catalytic converter in the outer purification system is very mature and stable, which has been the first choice of exhaust emission control technology in China. The organic combination of the purification systems outside and inside machine can fully improve the performance and the fuel economy of vehicles on the basis of low emission levels.

Natural Gas Vehicles

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of various factors on the emission characteristics of dedicated natural gas vehicles (NGVs). A conventional light-duty gasoline engine was modified to run on natural gas (NG) by a gas injection system. Experiments were mainly conducted on the optimization of an oxygen sensor, a catalytic converter, and an electronic control unit (ECU) control strategy affecting the emission characteristics of NGVs. Also presented are the emission results of the NGV as a low-emission vehicle by evaluating non-methane organic gases (NMOG). The experimental results present the optimization of the fuel control and exhaust system in NGV that is needed to meet the more stringent emission regulations. It is also suggested that non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC) constitute about 95 per cent of NMOG, and light-end HCs (C2-C5) account for 91 per cent of total NMOG emissions.

Active research and development on using ethanol fuel in gasoline engine had been done for few decades since ethanol served as a potential of infinite fuel supply. This paper discussed analytically and provides data on the effects of compression ratio, equivalence ratio, inlet temperature, inlet pressure and ethanol blend in cylinder adiabatic flame temperature (AFT) and nitrogen oxide (NO) formation of a gasoline engine. Olikara and Borman routines were used to calculate the equilibrium products of combustion for ethanol gasoline blended fuel. The equilibrium values of each species were used to predict AFT and the NO formation of combustion chamber. The result shows that both adiabatic flame temperature and NO formation are lower for ethanol-gasoline blend than gasoline fuel.

Wall Wetting

The accurate air-fuel ratio (AFR) control is crucial for the exhaust emission reduction based on the three-way catalytic converter in the spark ignition (SI) engine. The difficulties in transient cylinder air mass flow measurement, the existing fuel mass wall-wetting phenomenon, and the unfixed AFR path dynamic variations make the design of the AFR controller a challenging task. In this paper, an adaptive AFR regulation controller is designed using the feedforward and feedback control scheme based on the dynamical modelling of the AFR path. The generalized predictive control method is proposed to solve the problems of inherent nonlinearities, time delays, parameter variations, and uncertainties in the AFR closed loop. The simulation analysis is investigated for the effectiveness of noise suppression, online prediction, and self-correction on the SI engine system. Moreover, the experimental verification shows an acceptable performance of the designed controller and the potential usage of the generalized predictive control in AFR regulation application.

Abstract Improving the flow field uniformity of catalytic converter can promote the catalytic conversion of NO to NO2. Firstly, the physical and mathematical models of improved catalytic converter are established, and its accuracy is verified by experiments. Then, the NO catalytic performance of standard and improved catalytic converters is compared, and the influences of structural parameters on its performance are investigated. The results showed that: (1) The gas uniformity, pressure drop and NO conversion rate of the improved catalytic converter are increased by 0.0643, 6.78% and 7.0% respectively. (2) As the cell density combination is 700 cpsi/600 cpsi, NO conversion rate reaches the highest, 73.7%, and the gas uniformity is 0.9821. (3) When the tapered height is 20 mm, NO conversion rate reaches the highest, 72.4%, the gas uniformity is 0.9744. (4) When the high cell density radius is 20 mm, NO conversion rate reaches the highest, 72.1%, the gas uniformity is 0.9783. (5) When the tapered end face radius is 20 mm, NO conversion rate reaches the highest, 72.0%, the gas uniformity is 0.9784. The results will provide a very important reference value for improving NO catalytic and reducing vehicle emission.
