Book Synergistic Effects of Lubricant Additive Chemistry on Ash Properties Impacting Diesel Particulate Filter Flow Resistance and Catalyst Performance

Download or read book Synergistic Effects of Lubricant Additive Chemistry on Ash Properties Impacting Diesel Particulate Filter Flow Resistance and Catalyst Performance written by Sean Andrew Munnis and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diesel particulate filters (DPF) have seen widespread use in recent years in both on- and offroad applications as an effective means for meeting the increasingly stringent particulate emission regulations. Overtime, engine-out particulate matter composed of soot and incombustible ash accumulate within the DPF. Although soot can be removed by oxidation, ash remains within the filter and substantially accumulates over time leading to increased flow restriction thus a pressure drop across the filter. An increased pressure drop negatively affects the engine performance & fuel economy leading to the need for filter removal and cleaning. The adverse effects of ash accumulation on DPF performance have been extensively studied in the past and are well know yet the underlying mechanisms for their presence are still not well understood. The ash which accumulates within a DPF is a product of a number of factors including engine wear and corrosion as well as trace metals in diesel fuel, but the majority of the engine out ash is derived from specific metallic additives placed within the diesel lubricant. This work examines the properties of ash derived from specific single lubricant additives, as well as simple combinations, and their adverse effect on DPF performance. Specific ash properties are examined such as porosity, permeability, deposit thicknesses and packing densities along the filter channel walls as a cake layer as well as the resultant end plugs in the rear of the filter channels. Through a combined approach of experiments and theoretical models, the link between the material properties and characteristics of ash derived from single additives as well as combinations can be made to their respective impact on DPF performance. The results of this research are among a few of its kind and aim to help optimize the design of advanced diesel aftertreatment systems as well as lubricant formulations to satisfy the additive requirements for engine protection while mitigating the negative effects on DPF performance.

Download or read book Automotive Fuels Reference Book Fourth Edition written by Paul Richards and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The earlier editions of this title have been best-selling definitive references for those needing technical information about automotive fuels. This long-awaited latest edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, yet retains the original fundamental fuels information that readers find so useful, This book is written for those with an interest in or a need to understand automotive fuels. Because automotive fuels can no longer be developed in isolation from the engines that will convert the fuel into the power necessary to drive our automobiles, knowledge of automotive fuels will also be essential to those working with automotive engines. Small quantities of fuel additives increasingly play an important role in bridging the gap that often exists between fuel that can easily be produced and fuel that is needed by the ever-more sophisticated automotive engine. This book pulls together in a single, extensively referenced volume, the three different but related topics of automotive fuels, fuel additives, and engines, and shows how all three areas work together. It includes a brief history of automotive fuels development, followed by chapters on automotive fuels manufacture from crude oil and other fossil sources. One chapter is dedicated to the manufacture of automotive fuels and fuel blending components from renewable sources, including e-fuels. The safe handling, transport, and storage of fuels, from all sources, are covered. New combustion systems to achieve reduced emissions and increased efficiency are discussed, and the way in which the fuels’ physical and chemical characteristics affect these combustion processes and the emissions produced are included. As CO2 is now an important emission there is also discussion regarding low and non-carbon fuels and how they might be used. There is also discussion on engine fuel system development and how these different systems affect the corresponding fuel requirements. Because the book is for a global market, fuel system technologies that only exist in the legacy fleet in some markets are included. The way in which fuel requirements are developed and specified is discussed. This covers test methods from simple laboratory bench tests, through engine testing, and long-term test procedures.

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.
