Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced diesel engine and aftertreatment technologies have been developed for multiple engine and vehicle platforms. Tier 2 (2007 and beyond) emissions levels have been demonstrated for a light truck vehicle over a FTP-75 test cycle on a vehicle chassis dynamometer. These low emissions levels are obtained while retaining the fuel economy advantage characteristic of diesel engines. The performance and emissions results were achieved by integrating advanced combustion strategies (CLEAN Combustion{copyright}) with prototype aftertreatment systems. CLEAN Combustion{copyright} allows partial control of exhaust species for aftertreatment integration in addition to simultaneous NOx and PM reduction. Analytical tools enabled the engine and aftertreatment sub-systems development and system integration. The experimental technology development methodology utilized a range of facilities to streamline development of the eventual solution including utilization of steady state and transient dynamometer test-beds to simulate chassis dynamometer test cycles.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The application of modern Diesel engines in automotive industry has been widely recognized for reasons of their distinguished performances on fuel economy, durability, and reliability. Meanwhile, NOx and particulate matters (PM) emissions have been the main concerns in the evolution of Diesel engines as more and more stringent emission standards have been legislated against Diesel engine emissions worldwide. In addition, as the Greenhouse gas emissions are receiving more and more concerns due to global warming issues, the demand of fuel economy improvement is increasing significantly. The objective of this research is to develop systematic control methodologies, based on fundamental insight into the system characteristics, to improve the overall fuel economy and emission performance of integrated Diesel engine and aftertreatment systems. The test platform of this research is a medium-duty Diesel engine equipped with high-pressure common-rail fuel injection system, dual-loop exhaust gas recirculation systems, variable geometry turbocharger system, and an integrated aftertreatment system including a Diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), Diesel particulate filter (DPF), and two-catalyst selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system. The topics of this research fall into two groups. The first group focuses on the modeling, estimation, and control of integrated aftertreatment systems based on the interactions between the subsystems with the objective of maintaining low tailpipe emissions at low cost. Topics covered in this group include the modeling and observer-based estimations for oxygen concentration and thermal behaviors across the DOC and DPF, state estimator design for SCR system using production NOx sensor measurements, and the active NO/NO2 ratio controller design for DOC and DPF to improve the SCR performance. The second group mainly concentrates on the modeling, estimation, and control of integrated engine-aftertreatment systems grounded on the interactions between engine and aftertreatment systems to simultaneously maintain high fuel efficiency and low tailpipe emissions. Topics contained in this group include the air-fraction modeling and estimation for Diesel engines coupled with aftertreatment systems during normal operations and active DPF regenerations, control-oriented thermal model for integrated Diesel engine and aftertreatment system active thermal management, and integrated Diesel engine and aftertreatment active NOx emissions control for fuel economy improvement. The control-oriented models, observers, and controllers of integrated Diesel engine and aftertreatment systems proposed in this research, when applied in automotive fields, have potentials of improving the engine fuel efficiency, reliability, and reducing tailpipe emissions in systematic, real-time, and cost-effective manners.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fuel efficiency and emission reductions are the two consistent drivers for internal combustion engine development for both on-highway and off-road vehicles. Advanced combustion technologies are proposed for the improvement of fuel consumption and reduction of harmful gas production inside the cylinder in laboratory engines. Outside cylinder technologies and after-treatment are the alternatives for a production engine to meet the stringent emission standards. Advanced control technologies play important roles in the realization of new technologies. This research was aimed at investigating possible techniques and feasible methods of implementation to reduce diesel engine emissions to meet the more stringent Tier 4 standards. In this study, two technologies are studied for off-road diesel engine NOx emission reductions: stoichiometric combustion ignition (SCI) and lean NOx trap (LNT). The concept of the stoichiometric compression ignition (SCI) engine was investigated for implementation in a turbocharged diesel engine through co-simulation. At first, an integrated environment for 1D engine modeling with control function was proposed for a SCI performance evaluation and control implementation. The SCI engine has been evaluated by Constant Speed Load Acceptance tests under steady-state and transient conditions. For SCI implementations, basic controls have been designed including air-fuel ratio (AFR) control, torque limiting control and idle speed control. The proposed control strategies have been verified with 1D detail models in the integrated environments. Further, the Mean Value Engine Model (MVEM) is proposed for advanced model based control design. The SCI engine subsystems are modeled using an orifice constrain model for throttle, turbine, and wastegate; filling and emptying model for intake and exhaust manifolds; rotational dynamic for engine camshaft and turbocharger shift, air-charging model and exhaust properties regressed by the data from integrated simulation at different engine operating conditions. The MVEM was implemented in Matlab/Simulink for verification. Modular and system verification was conducted for steady-state and transient state consistency with the 1D detail model. The results are promising, but the whole system needs further tuning for dynamic control design. The lean-NOx trap, as an alternative after-treatment for NOx control, has been studied for generic diesel engine emission control. Based on experimental data, an improved NOx adsorption model is proposed for integrated engine control and optimization.

This book was released on 2008-10-19 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 21st Century Truck Partnership (21CTP), a cooperative research and development partnership formed by four federal agencies with 15 industrial partners, was launched in the year 2000 with high hopes that it would dramatically advance the technologies used in trucks and buses, yielding a cleaner, safer, more efficient generation of vehicles. Review of the 21st Century Truck Partnership critically examines and comments on the overall adequacy and balance of the 21CTP. The book reviews how well the program has accomplished its goals, evaluates progress in the program, and makes recommendations to improve the likelihood of the Partnership meeting its goals. Key recommendations of the book include that the 21CTP should be continued, but the future program should be revised and better balanced. A clearer goal setting strategy should be developed, and the goals should be clearly stated in measurable engineering terms and reviewed periodically so as to be based on the available funds.

This book was released on 2011-06-03 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various combinations of commercially available technologies could greatly reduce fuel consumption in passenger cars, sport-utility vehicles, minivans, and other light-duty vehicles without compromising vehicle performance or safety. Assessment of Technologies for Improving Light Duty Vehicle Fuel Economy estimates the potential fuel savings and costs to consumers of available technology combinations for three types of engines: spark-ignition gasoline, compression-ignition diesel, and hybrid. According to its estimates, adopting the full combination of improved technologies in medium and large cars and pickup trucks with spark-ignition engines could reduce fuel consumption by 29 percent at an additional cost of $2,200 to the consumer. Replacing spark-ignition engines with diesel engines and components would yield fuel savings of about 37 percent at an added cost of approximately $5,900 per vehicle, and replacing spark-ignition engines with hybrid engines and components would reduce fuel consumption by 43 percent at an increase of $6,000 per vehicle. The book focuses on fuel consumption-the amount of fuel consumed in a given driving distance-because energy savings are directly related to the amount of fuel used. In contrast, fuel economy measures how far a vehicle will travel with a gallon of fuel. Because fuel consumption data indicate money saved on fuel purchases and reductions in carbon dioxide emissions, the book finds that vehicle stickers should provide consumers with fuel consumption data in addition to fuel economy information.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: A systematic nonlinear control methodology for urea-SCR systems applicable for light-to-heavy-duty Diesel engine platforms in a variety of on-road, off-road, and marine applications is developed and experimentally validated in this dissertation. Urea selective catalytic reduction (urea-SCR) systems have been proved of being able to reduce more than 90% of Diesel engine-out NOx emissions and have been favored by the automotive industry in recent years. Urea-SCR systems utilize ammonia, converted from 32.5% aqueous urea solution (AdBlue) injected at upstream of the SCR catalyst, as the reductant for NOx reductions. Because ammonia is considered a hazardous material, urea injection should be systematically controlled to avoid undesired tailpipe ammonia slip while achieving a sufficient level of SCR NOx reduction. The novelty of the control methodology is to regulate the ammonia storage distribution along the axial direction of a SCR catalyst to a staircase profile and thus to simultaneously realize high NOx reduction efficiency and low ammonia emissions. To achieve this control objective, several relevant subjects are studied, including: 1) aftertreatment system control-oriented modeling, 2) online NOx sensor ammonia cross-sensitivity correction, 3) SCR catalyst ammonia coverage ratio estimation, as well as 4) adaptive urea dosing controller design. A unique SCR system which consists of a urea injector and two SCR catalysts connected in-series with several NOx and NH3 sensors is used for the study of the proposed urea-SCR control methodology. Such a SCR system is integrated with a state-of-the-art Diesel engine and aftertreatment system (DOC-DPF). The US06 test cycle experimental results show the proposed control methodology, in comparison to a conventional control strategy, is capable of improving the SCR NOx reduction by 63% and reducing the tailpipe ammonia slip amount by 74%. The contributions of this research to the art include: 1) A novel, efficient, and generalizable urea-SCR dosing control methodology; 2) Diesel engine-DOC-DPF NO/NO2 ratio control-oriented models and observer-based estimations; 3) SCR catalyst ammonia coverage ratio estimation methods; 4) An online correction approach for NOx sensor ammonia cross-sensitivity elimination; and 5) An improved SCR control-oriented model.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental study on the effects of after treatments and a turbocharger on emissions of a single cylinder diesel engine. The study measured the concentration of CO, CO2, HC, NO, NO2, and NOx. Tests on the engine were performed at different engine loads and engine speeds. The engine power ranged from 0 to 9 HP, and the engine speed ranged from 1500 to 3500 rpm. Emissions were characterized in terms of engine speed, engine power, and exhaust temperature. The results showed that the optimal strategy for emission reduction was to combine the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst and the Diesel Particulate Filter to form a Continuously Regenerating Trap. These after treatments would be combined with the use of a turbocharger and air capacitor to ensure that the back pressure doesn't take away too much power and increase fuel consumption.

This book was released on 2015-09-28 with total page 812 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The light-duty vehicle fleet is expected to undergo substantial technological changes over the next several decades. New powertrain designs, alternative fuels, advanced materials and significant changes to the vehicle body are being driven by increasingly stringent fuel economy and greenhouse gas emission standards. By the end of the next decade, cars and light-duty trucks will be more fuel efficient, weigh less, emit less air pollutants, have more safety features, and will be more expensive to purchase relative to current vehicles. Though the gasoline-powered spark ignition engine will continue to be the dominant powertrain configuration even through 2030, such vehicles will be equipped with advanced technologies, materials, electronics and controls, and aerodynamics. And by 2030, the deployment of alternative methods to propel and fuel vehicles and alternative modes of transportation, including autonomous vehicles, will be well underway. What are these new technologies - how will they work, and will some technologies be more effective than others? Written to inform The United States Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards, this new report from the National Research Council is a technical evaluation of costs, benefits, and implementation issues of fuel reduction technologies for next-generation light-duty vehicles. Cost, Effectiveness, and Deployment of Fuel Economy Technologies for Light-Duty Vehicles estimates the cost, potential efficiency improvements, and barriers to commercial deployment of technologies that might be employed from 2020 to 2030. This report describes these promising technologies and makes recommendations for their inclusion on the list of technologies applicable for the 2017-2025 CAFE standards.

This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technologies and Approaches to Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles evaluates various technologies and methods that could improve the fuel economy of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, such as tractor-trailers, transit buses, and work trucks. The book also recommends approaches that federal agencies could use to regulate these vehicles' fuel consumption. Currently there are no fuel consumption standards for such vehicles, which account for about 26 percent of the transportation fuel used in the U.S. The miles-per-gallon measure used to regulate the fuel economy of passenger cars. is not appropriate for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, which are designed above all to carry loads efficiently. Instead, any regulation of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles should use a metric that reflects the efficiency with which a vehicle moves goods or passengers, such as gallons per ton-mile, a unit that reflects the amount of fuel a vehicle would use to carry a ton of goods one mile. This is called load-specific fuel consumption (LSFC). The book estimates the improvements that various technologies could achieve over the next decade in seven vehicle types. For example, using advanced diesel engines in tractor-trailers could lower their fuel consumption by up to 20 percent by 2020, and improved aerodynamics could yield an 11 percent reduction. Hybrid powertrains could lower the fuel consumption of vehicles that stop frequently, such as garbage trucks and transit buses, by as much 35 percent in the same time frame.
