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.

Book excerpt: As the nation's demand for energy grows along with concern for the environment, there is a pressing need for cleaner, more efficient forms of energy. The internal combustion engine is well established as one of the most reliable forms of power production. They are commercially available in power ranges from 0.5 kW to 6.5 MW, which make them suitable for a wide range of distributed power applications from small scale residential to large scale industrial. In addition, alternative fuels with domestic abundance, such as natural gas, can play a key role in weaning our nations dependence on foreign oil. Lean burn natural gas engines can achieve high efficiencies and can be conveniently placed anywhere natural gas supplies are available. However, the aftertreatment of Nox emissions presents a challenge in lean exhaust conditions. Unlike carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, which can be catalytically reduced in lean exhaust, NOx emissions require a net reducing atmosphere for catalytic reduction. Unless this challenge of NOx reduction can be met, emissions regulations may restrict the implementation of highly efficient lean burn natural gas engines for stationary power applications. While the typical three-way catalyst is ineffective for NOx reduction under lean exhaust conditions, several emerging catalyst technologies have demonstrated potential. The three leading contenders for lean burn engine de-NOx are the Lean NOx Catalyst (LNC), Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and the Lean Nox Trap (LNT). Similar to the principles of SCR, an LNT catalyst has the ability to store NOx under lean engine operation. Then, an intermittent rich condition is created causing the stored NOx to be released and subsequently reduced. However, unlike SCR, which uses urea injection to create the reducing atmosphere, the LNT can use the same fuel supplied to the engine as the reductant. LNT technology has demonstrated high reduction efficiencies in diesel applications where diesel fuel is the reducing agent. The premise of this research is to explore the application of Lean NOx Trap technology to a lean burn natural gas engine where natural gas is the reducing agent. Natural gas is primarily composed of methane, a highly stable hydrocarbon. The two primary challenges addressed by this research are the performance of the LNT in the temperature ranges experienced from lean natural gas combustion and the utilization of the highly stable methane as the reducing agent. The project used an 8.3 liter lean burn natural gas engine on a dynamometer to generate the lean exhaust conditions. The catalysts were packaged in a dual path aftertreatment system, and a set of valves were used to control the flow of exhaust to either leg during adsorption and regeneration.

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large-bore natural gas engines are used for distributed energy and gas compression since natural gas fuel offers a convenient and reliable fuel source via the natural gas pipeline and distribution infrastructure. Lean engines enable better fuel efficiency and lower operating costs; however, NOx emissions from lean engines are difficult to control. Technologies that reduce NOx in lean exhaust are desired to enable broader use of efficient lean engines. Lean NOx trap catalysts have demonstrated greater than 90% NOx reduction in lean exhaust from engines operating with gasoline, diesel, and natural gas fuels. In addition to the clean nature of the technology, lean NOx traps reduce NOx with the fuel source of the engine thereby eliminating the requirement for storage and handling of secondary fuels or reducing agents. A study of lean NOx trap catalysts for lean natural gas engines is presented here. Testing was performed on a Cummins C8.3G (CG-280) engine on a motor dynamometer. Lean NOx trap catalysts were tested for NOx reduction performance under various engine operating conditions, and the utilization of natural gas as the reductant fuel source was characterized. Engine test results show that temperature greatly affects the catalytic processes involved, specifically methane oxidation and NOx storage on the lean NOx trap. Additional studies on a bench flow reactor demonstrate the effect of precious metal loading (a primary cost factor) on lean NOx trap performance at different temperatures. Results and issues related to the potential of the lean NOx trap technology for large-bore engine applications will be discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various diesel NOx control technologies are being explored today as solutions for minimizing NOx emissions. The Lean NOx Trap is one of two products that offer high NOx conversion efficiency, but the LNT requires a regeneration strategy. The Lean NOx Trap control strategy offers a systematic approach in which engine control parameters are fully utilized to create an exhaust “rich” environment necessary for LNT catalyst regeneration. In the present study EGR throttling, inlet air-throttling and late-injections were the three control parameters tuned for LNT regeneration. The strategy was tested in-house and by GM engineers on a 1.9 L diesel engine coupled to a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst, Diesel Particulate Filter and a Lean NOx Trap. Siemens NOx sensors were used to evaluate the NOx conversion efficiency. It was found that the catalyst did reduce NOx output but was neither efficient at low-loads nor fully-effective throughout the drive-cycle as the DPF did clog as a result of too low a CO/HC ratio. The regeneration mode is open loop and should be closed loop to minimize the additional fueling necessary for creating a rich environment for LNT regeneration. There was no evidence that late injections contributed to regeneration. Instead of late-injections, a more robust, closed-loop control strategy should be explored that uses the air/fuel ratio from the exhaust manifold as the control parameter for maximizing NOx conversion efficiency while minimizing the fuel penalty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stricter emission standards have driven the research and development of several emission aftertreatment technologies like selective catalytic reduction (NH3-SCR) and lean NOX trap (LNT) technology. On an NH3-SCR catalyst, NH3 is injected into the exhaust, which then selectively reduces NOx to N2. During the LNT process, NOX is stored on an alkali earth oxide during the lean phase, forming surface nitrite/nitrate species, which are then reduced to N2 over precious metals during periodic "rich" operation. A combined LNT-SCR hybrid system promises to be more cost-effective and operates by utilizing NH3 formed during the rich phase operation of LNT to reduce NOx that breakthroughs LNT on the SCR catalyst downstream. An experimental set-up was built to monitor the transient reactor temperatures and effluent gas concentrations. This work systematically investigated the production of NH3 on typical Pt-Rh/BaO/Al2O3 LNT monolithic catalysts during the reduction of NOx by CO in the presence of excess water without any molecular H2 being fed to the system; under both steady-state and cyclic operation conditions. The objective was to determine the effect of various operating parameters and the involvement of intermediate species on the mechanism leading to NH3 formation and NOx reduction. Under steady-state conditions, H2 formed by wgs reaction plays a dominant role in reducing NOx to NH3. However, under cyclic operation conditions, hydrolysis of intermediate isocyanate species is shown to be the leading route to NH3 formation. An extensive study of the NOX storage mechanism and the impact of CO2 were conduced at low temperatures (
