The paper discusses the application of an in-cylinder catalyst allowing a reduction of the exhaust emissions from a diesel engine. Its placement in the combustion chamber, the area where the process of combustion takes place, allows reducing the emissions (carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, particulate matter) ‘at source’. The paper presents the possibilities of boosting the efficiency of catalysts in diesel engines by extending the time of heating of a glow plug (the catalyst applied on the glow plug). The tests were performed for the following conditions: no heating (marked 0+0), glow plug heating for 60 s after engine start (marked 0+60), glow plug heating prior to engine start for 60 s and glow plug heating for 60 s after engine cold start (marked 60+60). An improvement in the efficiency of oxidation of the exhaust components was observed as the glow plug heating time increased.

Modernization of passenger cars and constant development of existing legislation lead to a reduction of exhaust emissions from these vehicles. In accordance with package 3 of the RDE test procedure, the European Commission has extended testing methods by including exhaust emissions during a cold start. The article compares the research results on the impact of ambient temperature during the cold start of spark-ignition and compression-ignition engines in road emission tests. The tests were carried out in line with the requirements of the RDE test procedure for passenger cars meeting the Euro 6d-Temp emissions standard. The obtained results were analyzed, i.e. there were compared the engine and vehicle operation parameters and the values of road exhaust emissions, during the cold start of gasoline and diesel engines at the ambient temperature of approximately 25oC.The summary presents the share of cold start phase of a passenger car (at the ambient temperature of around 25oC) for each exhaust emission compound in the urban part of the test, and in the entire RDE test, depending on the engine type used.

Abstract Optimization procedures are required to minimize the amount of fuel consumption and exhaust emissions from marine engines. This study discusses the procedures to optimize the performance of any marine engine implemented in a 0D/1D numerical model in order to achieve lower values of exhaust emissions. From that point, an extension of previous simulation researches is presented to calculate the amount of SOx emissions from two marine diesel engines along their load diagrams based on the percentage of sulfur in the marine fuel used. The variations of SOx emissions are computed in g/kW·h and in parts per million (ppm) as functions of the optimized parameters: brake specific fuel consumption and the amount of air-fuel ratio respectively. Then, a surrogate model-based response surface methodology is used to generate polynomial equations to estimate the amount of SOx emissions as functions of engine speed and load. These developed non-dimensional equations can be further used directly to assess the value of SOx emissions for different percentages of sulfur of the selected or similar engines to be used in different marine applications.

A better understanding of the adsorption behaviors of hydrocarbons on adsorbent would help trap the hydrocarbons emitted from diesel engines during cold start period more efficiently. In this paper, the adsorption behaviors of hydrocarbons in LTA zeolite was studied using Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation. The adsorption isotherms and mass clouds are obtained for both pure component and binary mixtures under certain temperatures. The adsorption isotherms reveal that the average loading of ethylene and propylene has the similar trend. Both of them increase with the increase of pressure and decrease significantly with the increase of temperature. The binary mixtures show competitive adsorption behavior. Propylene is adsorbed much more strongly than ethylene in LTA zeolite. The obtained mass clouds show that propylene distributes in both the α cage and β cage of the LTA zeolite, while ethylene distributes mainly in the β cage of the LTA zeolite.
