DIESEL SMOKE: LEGISLATION AND CONTROL

Legislative aspects of diesel smoke control in South Africa and Europe, the procedures for measuring smoke density and the effect of control at the time of writing are discussed. Comparisons are made between on-load smoke emission and free acceleration tests for a number of different vehicles. The problems of high altitude operation and turbocharging are discussed. Suggestions are made for the possible improvement of control methods with guidelines for the future.
