Book excerpt: Abstract : In this study the oxidation of particulate matter (PM) retained in a catalyzed particulate filter (CPF) is investigated to understand the kinetics of PM oxidation. Seven passive oxidation and four active regeneration experiments were performed on a Cummins ISB 2013 280 hp engine and the production aftertreatment system adapted to a lab setup, in order to study the NO2 assisted and thermal oxidation of the PM retained in the CPF. The CPF was loaded with PM produced by the engine and the PM was then oxidized in the CPF under various Passive Oxidation (PO) and Active Regeneration (AR) conditions. First, the engine was operated at an engine condition that produced PM at a greater rate than the production setting, in order to load the CPF to 3.0±0.4 g/L in a suitable time of 6 hours. To study the NO2 assisted oxidation, exhaust at pre-determined engine conditions with low PM concentration (2 concentration and temperature was flowed through the CPF. During the PO testing, the exhaust temperature into the CPF varied from 299 - 385°C, the NO2 concentration varied between 137 - 1013 ppm and the exhaust mass flowrate varied between 3.63 - 12.0 kg/min. Thermal oxidation was studied by operating the engine at a specific condition where the exhaust at the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) inlet was at a higher temperature than the light-off temperature of hydrocarbon oxidation in the DOC (300 °C). Late combustion cycle fuel dosing was performed and the hydrocarbons in the dosed fuel were oxidized across the DOC. This created an exotherm and raised the exhaust temperature into the CPF to the required value between 498 - 575°C to oxidize the PM retained in the CPF at the end of loading, by reaction with O2. The O2 concentration into the CPF varied between 8.17 to 9.03%. It was found that the NO2 assisted kinetics could be represented using the standard Arrhenius equation. The activation energy obtained using the standard Arrhenius model, is 94 kJ/gmol and the pre-exponential factor obtained is 25.5 1/ppm/s. The thermal oxidation reaction rate could be similarly represented using the O2 concentration and temperature over the range of conditions studied. The activation energy for thermal oxidation was found to be 136 kJ/gmol and the pre-exponential factor obtained is 3.56 1/ppm/s. It was found that for two of the passive oxidation tests, the reaction rates were higher than that predicted using the Arrhenius representation. The Loading Engine Condition also showed higher reaction kinetics than the NO2assisted kinetics. The engine and exhaust conditions as well as reaction rates obtained as part of this study are intended to be compared to the corresponding values obtained for a SCR-in-DPF substrate that is currently being studied at Michigan Tech as the next phase of study. The purpose of this comparison is to understand the difference in performance of both aftertreatment systems in light of their respective weights and volumes. The data obtained during this study is also being used to calibrate the 1-D CPF model at MTU. An introduction to the model is provided in this thesis, and the important variables of the study that are also used for model calibration are presented in the appropriate sections.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract : In this study, the combination of a DPF and SCR catalyst technology together on a single substrate was investigated for both loading and oxidation performance. Johnson Matthey together with Corning have developed the latest in diesel aftertreatment technologies with the SCRF®. To test the steady state oxidation performance of the pre-production system, a series of fourteen NO2 assisted passive oxidation (PO) tests (seven with urea injection, and seven without) and four active regeneration tests were performed on a 2013 Cummins ISB engine. The aftertreatment production system was modified to allow for experimental investigation into passive oxidation with and without urea dosing and active regeneration of particulate matter for a SCR on a DPF. The primary focus of this study was to carry out passive oxidation (with and without urea dosing), active regeneration and to measure species concentrations, PM mass retained, flowrates, substrate temperature distributions, pressure drop across the filter, and to determine the PM oxidation performance of the SCRF® and compare it to the baseline system. The data from this study will be used in the development and calibration of the MTU SCR-F model. The passive oxidation performance of the SCRF® was experimentally studied by oxidizing the accumulated PM at five distinct engine and exhaust conditions. These conditions were intended to span a wide range of standard space velocities (10.3-38.2 k/hr), substrate temperatures (273-377°C), and NO2 concentrations (117-821 ppm). The tests were repeated, once with and once without the injection of urea in the form of diesel exhaust fluid. Urea dosing was performed at a target ammonia to NOx ratio of 1.0 to investigate both the NOx reduction performance, as well as the effect it has on the PM passive oxidation performance. Each test began with an accelerated loading stage designed to accumulate 1.7±0.4 g/L. The two loading stages and the two post oxidation stages were intended not only to accumulate particulate matter for the passive oxidation stage, but also to characterize the difference to the production system. The study found that the SCRF® was able to achieve 88-99% reduction in NOx with urea for the steady state PO conditions studied and there was 51% lower PM reaction rates, and 60% lower rate constants k, compared to without urea injection. The thermal oxidation performance was studied by investigating three different active regeneration tests points above 500°C where the contribution of NO2 assisted oxidation was less than 10% based on other studies. The different target inlet temperatures 500°C, 550°C and 600°C were achieved through in cylinder post fuel dosing. From the conclusions of the study, it was found that the PM loading performance of the SCRF® was very similar to the production CPF, but resulted in a higher pressure drop across the filter. The PM passive oxidation performance of the system was significantly affected (51% lower reaction rates and 60% lower rate constants) by the injection of urea during the passive oxidation stage. The kinetics of PM passive oxidation using the standard Arrhenius model resulted in an activation energy of 99.2 kJ/gmol and pre exponential factor of 113.7 1/ppm/s without urea injection. Likewise, the kinetics of PM passive oxidation with urea dosing had an activation energy of 96.2 kJ/gmol and pre exponential factor of 23.1 1/ppm/s. Finally the kinetics of thermal oxidation were found to have an activation energy of 211.5 kJ/gmol and 2.52E+05 1/ppm/s for the pre exponential factor.

Download or read book The Effect of Lubricant Derived Ash on the Catalytic Activity of Diesel Particulate Filters written by Timothy Quinn Murray and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A diesel particulate filter (DPF) is an aftertreatment device used to remove hazardous particulate matter (PM) from diesel engine exhaust. Modem emission restrictions have limited the acceptable amount of PM output by diesel engines to the extent that a filtration strategy, such as the use of a DPF, is necessary. Diesel PM is comprised primarily by black carbon soot. Once trapped in the filter, the soot can be oxidized into CO2 and pass out of the exhaust system during what is referred to as regeneration. Metallic lubricant additive derived compounds, which make up a small fraction of PM, cannot be oxidized and remain inside the DPF until regular maintenance calls for the removal and cleaning of the filter. The buildup of ash increases the pressure drop across the filter, resulting in a direct fuel penalty to the engine. The oxidation of soot can be carried out actively at high temperatures or passively at low temperatures with the aid of a catalyst. Active regeneration requires more energy than passive regeneration because the stream of exhaust gas must be heated to a higher temperature. However, catalysts are expensive, and therefore there is a significant additional capital cost associated with catalyzed filters. The purpose of this research was to investigate the impact of ash accumulation on the catalytic activity of DPFs. The impact was measured experimentally by comparing the ability of two ash loaded DPF samples to promote several chemical reactions (most importantly soot oxidation) to the ability of a previously unused (clean) filter. It was shown that ash accumulation results in a loss in the catalytic activity of a DPF, as evidenced by a reduced capacity to generate NO2, and promote the catalyzed passive oxidation of soot. Reduced soot oxidation performance will result in faster accumulation of soot, which increases the pressure drop across the filter and necessitates more frequent regenerations. Both of these results will negatively impact fuel economy.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract : The heavy-duty diesel engines use a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC), a Catalyzed Particulate Filter (CPF), a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) with urea injection and a Ammonia Oxidation Catalyst (AMOX), to meet the US EPA 2010/2013 particulate matter (PM) and NOx emission standards. However, it is not possible to achieve the 2015 California low NOx standards with this arrangement. Hence, there is a need to improve the existing aftertreatment system. This can be achieved by coating the SCR catalyst on a diesel particulate filter (DPF), thus combining the PM filtration and NOx reduction functionality into a single device. This reduces the overall volume/weight of the system and provides opportunity for packaging flexibility and improved thermal management along with the possibility of higher NOx reduction with a downstream SCR system. The SCR catalyst on a DPF used in this study is known as a SCRF℗ʼ which was supplied by Johnson Matthey and Corning. Previous research on the CPF and SCRF℗ʼ at MTU highlighted that the reactivity of PM retained in the CPF and SCRF℗ʼ is higher during loading conditions compared to passive oxidation conditions i.e. when the flow rate of PM entering the CPF or SCRF℗ʼ is higher in loading conditions compared to the low flow rate and higher PM reaction rate during passive oxidation conditions. A 2013 Cummins ISB engine with a DOC-SCRF℗ʼ arrangement was used to perform twelve tests (eight tests without urea injection and four tests with urea injection) in order to determine the NO2 assisted passive oxidation performance of the SCRF℗ʼ under loading conditions with and without urea injection. The primary focus of this study was to carry out Loading Tests with and without Urea injection and measure species concentrations, PM mass retained, exhaust flowrates, substrate temperature distributions, pressure drop across the filter, and to determine the kinetics of NO2 assisted PM oxidation under loading conditions and compare it with kinetics under passive oxidation conditions. The NO2 assisted passive oxidation performance of the SCRF℗ʼ was experimentally studied by running the engine at 2400 RPM and four different loads at nominal and reduced rail pressure for 5.5 hours in two stages of loading. These conditions were intended to span the SCRF℗ʼ inlet temperatures in the range of 264-364oC and inlet NO2 concentrations in the range of 52-120 ppm. Four conditions out of these eight conditions were repeated with the injection of urea in the form of diesel exhaust fluid at a target ammonia to NOx ratio of 1.0 to investigate both the NOx reduction performance, as well as the effect of urea on the NO2 assisted passive oxidation performance. From the conclusions of the study based on the experimental data, it was found that the cumulative percentage of PM oxidized in the SCRF℗ʼ increases with the increase in engine load due to higher SCRF℗ʼ temperatures and NO2 concentrations. On average, the reactions rates with urea injection during loading conditions in the SCRF℗ʼ are 25% lower compared to the reaction rates without urea injection. The reactivity of PM under loading conditions with and without urea injection is higher compared to the reactivity of PM under passive oxidation with and without urea injection. For a lumped PM oxidation model, a higher pre-exponential for NO2 assisted oxidation is needed for loading as compared to passive oxidation conditions. It was not possible to determine the kinetics of NO2 assisted oxidation of PM under loading conditions from the experimental data using a standard Arrhenius model which lead to the development of a different model for PM oxidation. A PM oxidation model was developed based on the shrinking core model which keeps the identity of the incoming PM masses in the SCRF℗ʼ as compared to SCR-F model being developed at MTU which is lumped model for PM oxidation. The PM oxidation model was calibrated to simulate PM oxidation in the SCRF℗ʼ with a single set of kinetics under wide range of conditions including loading and passive oxidation conditions. The reaction rate results from the PM oxidation model were then applied to the SCR-F model to simulate the pressure drop across SCRF℗ʼ and the PM retained in the SCRF℗ʼ for the loading conditions used in this study. The SCR-F model was calibrated using experimental data from Loading Tests w/o Urea to simulate the PM retained within ℗ł2 g and pressure drop across SCRF℗ʼ within ℗ł0.5 kPa of the experimental data at the end of the test. The calibrated SCR-F model was also used to estimate the cake, wall and channel pressure drop and the PM retained in the cake and wall for the Loading Tests w/o Urea to check the integrity of experimental data and the consistency of the model. The NO2 assisted kinetics for PM oxidation in the SCRF℗ʼ without urea injection using the SCR-F model resulted in an activation energy of 96 kJ/gmol and pre-exponential factor of 2.6 m/K-s for the cake and 1.8 m/K-s for the wall. An analysis of the results from the SCR-F model suggests that for all the conditions, 84-92% of the total PM retained was in the PM cake layer and the oxidation in the PM cake layer accounted for 72-84% of the total PM mass oxidized during loading.

Download or read book Measurement Characterization Identification and Control of Combustion Produced Soot written by Madhu Singh and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The negative health implications associated with combustion produced soot demand identification of contributing sources, quantification and characterization of their emissions to assess its impact, and control to minimize the imposed hazard. Distinguishing different sources of soot from engines and combustors is challenging, given the morphological and chemical similarity of the emitted soot. Leaner combustion conditions and tighter emission limits challenge traditional filter-based measurements for soot mass. Meanwhile, current after-treatment particulate control strategies are based on regeneration, i.e., soot oxidation which in turn depends upon soot nanostructure and composition (such as in a diesel particulate filter). Presently, effects on human health associated with soot exposure are largely correlative, while controlled lab studies predominantly use varied washings or extracts of soot, but rarely the actual particulate. Given the intertwined nature of these topics this dissertation addresses each in an integrated approach. Laser-induced incandescence (LII) is used to determine soot concentration while Time-resolved LII (TiRe-LII) can be used to estimate soot primary particle size largely by using available and appropriate models. The use of laser diagnostics has been used to experimentally demonstrate prevailing inconsistencies between experimentally measured and model-derived particle diameter values. Discrepancies have been attributed (a) to the empiricism associated with evaluating modeling variables and (b) to the lack of proper accountability of the changes in soot nanostructure upon heating with a pulsed laser. This work uses an experimental approach coupled with microscopy to (a) test the robustness of existing LII models and (b) inform existing models of experimental observations so that these can be accounted for in future models. Specifically, the contribution of changing soot nanostructure on laser heating is known and is shown here again with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). However, the change in soots optical properties because of an altered nanostructure remains unclear. Optical properties change when soot is laser-heated, and this alteration of optical properties upon laser heat treatment has been shown in this work experimentally, by using UV-Vis spectroscopy. Also, the effect of the degree of aggregation on the soots cooling profile is highlighted. This work demonstrates that different degrees of aggregation results in a shift of the time-temperature-history (TTH), thereby resulting in erroneous particle size predictions, which are calculated from the materials TTH. Unfortunately, most models assume point-contacting spheres and aggregation remains unaccounted for. The effect of the thermal accommodation coefficient is similar in that a small change in the value of this mathematical parameter significantly alters particle cooling as simulated here by an open-access simulator, indicating the need to exercise caution when assigning a value to this parameter in the model. While the change in soot nanostructure as a consequence of laser annealing complicates the interpretation from LII measurements, laser heating of soot can reciprocally be used to purposefully study the evolution in soot nanostructure as a function of its chemistry. Soot chemistry varies with its combustion environment, with fuel and combustion conditions specific to each source. Thus, by association, the evolution of soot nanostructure observed upon laser heat treatment can be correlated to its fuel origins and combustion origins, potentially identifying its formation source. Fundamentally, the presence of oxygen in nascent soot is identified here as a key compositional parameter. The increase in oxygen content of the fuel, as diesel is blended with increased proportions of biofuel, is correlated to increased oxygen content in the soot that is generated by the respective fuel. In other words, fuel with a higher oxygen content generates soot which also has oxygen content relatively higher than soot generated by fuel with low oxygen content. This work shows that oxygen dictates the evolution of soot nanostructure when it escapes the material upon laser heat treatment. When laser heated, the nanostructure of soot with a higher oxygen content evolves as hollow-shell like structures while nanostructure of soot with a low oxygen content evolves to show a ribbon-like interior. This divergence in soot nanostructure based on the oxygen content of nascent soot, which in turn is shown to be a function of the fuel composition, could be used to identify the source that generated the soot sample studied. Given the lack of availability of authentic soot samples, the combination of laser heat treatment and TEM of soot to identify fuel or source is powerful when sample quantities are in the range of less than a few nanograms. Being able to identify sources and their contributions using laser derivatization of soot as a diagnostic can help optimize new or existing control measures to reduce the concentration of atmospheric soot. For instance, diesel particulate filters (DPFs) are used to reduce diesel soot emissions. Effective protocols for DPF operation can be developed by understanding soot nanostructure changes as captured soot is oxidized during passive and active DPF regeneration. Typically, O2, NO2 or a combination of the two oxidants are encountered during DPF regeneration. In this work, soot nanostructure has been shown to vary with the order of oxidants to which it is exposed, a significant finding towards optimizing DPF filter regeneration protocols. The study has been performed on authentic diesel soot in a thermogravimetric analyzer under conditions mimicking active and passive regeneration in a DPF. To validate observations with diesel soot, three carbon blacks with varying nanostructure are also subjected to oxidation by O2 and NO2. The intriguing result is that order of oxidation matters, i.e., the oxidation rates are dependent upon nanostructure changes in response to oxidation by O2 alone, or O2 with NO2.Prolonged exposure to particulate matter causes unwanted ill-health, lung dysfunctions, and breathing problems. Most toxicity studies are done using a washing, or an extract of the organic fraction of soot and cells are exposed to this extract. This work tests the adverse effect of soot on human (male) lung cells when these are exposed to surrogate soot as is, i.e., structure and chemistry intact to mimic real-time exposure conditions. The impact of soot chemistry and the presence of acidic functional groups on lung epithelial cells for varying exposure times is demonstrated in our collaborative work with the College of Medicine at Penn State, Hershey, PA. Soot chemistry is shown to directly and adversely impact cell viability and mRNA expressions of the IL-1B and IL-6 cytokines as well as mRNA expression of the TLR4 protein. Specifically, cell viability was shown to reduce significantly after 6- and 24-hours of exposure to carboxylic groups on the soot, thereby demonstrating the health impact of soot surface chemistry in comparison to extracts.In summary, soot measurement, its extensive characterization to identify source contributions and develop practically applicable control strategies has a direct implication on our health and surroundings and can aid in promoting a healthy living environment.

Download or read book Passive Regeneration written by Michael James Bahr (Nav. E.) and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diesel particulate filters (DPF) have seen widespread growth as an effective means for meeting increasingly rigorous particle emissions regulations. There is growing interest to exploit passive regeneration of DPFs to reduce fuel consumption accompanying traditional active regeneration. Incombustible material or ash, mainly derived from metallic additives in the engine lubricant, accumulates in the DPF over time. This ash accumulation increases flow restriction and rise in pressure drop across the DPF. The growth of pressure drop adversely impacts engine performance and fuel economy. This study built upon previous research to evaluate the different effects of regeneration strategy on ash packing and distribution within DPFs. Since passive regeneration relies on a catalyzed reaction, the interactions of ash with the catalyst will play an important role. Passive regeneration is specifically dependent on exhaust feed gas composition, exhaust conditions including temperature and flow rate, catalyst type and configuration, and the state of DPF loading during prior to passive regeneration. The goal of the study is to address the long-term effects of regeneration parameters on ash accumulations and the resulting impact of ash on the DPF catalyst performance. Experiments were conducted that focused on pressure drop measurements over the lifetime of diesel particulate filters with different regeneration methods coupled with post mortem ash characterization. These experiments provide insight to how these regeneration methods impact the DPF performance. These results, among few fundamental data of this kind, correlate changes in diesel particulate filter performance with exhaust conditions, regeneration strategy, and ash morphological characteristics. Outcomes are useful in optimizing the design of the combined engine-aftertreatment- lubricant system for future diesel engines, balancing the necessities of additives for adequate engine protection with the requirements for robust aftertreatment systems.
