DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF AN ON-BOARD DIESEL PARTICULATES SAMPLER

A diesel-engine-exhaust particulate-emissions sampler was developed using a miniature constant-volume sampler technique. The approach was shown to produce similar results to the standard CVS and dilution-tunnel technique in the laboratory. Generally, agreement was within + or - 10%. Particulate emissions from 1.6- and 2.4-litre indirect injection and 6 litre direct injection (DI) engined vehicles were measured in accord with standard laboratory procedures and on the road in urban, rural, and steady-state road drives. The maximum particulate emission rate for the 1.6-litre car was 0.15 g/km a 113 km/k; at 80 km/h, two 2.4-1 vans emitted about 0.3 g/km; and the 6-litre diesel truck (DI) emited about 0.7 g/km.
