THE INFLUENCE OF DIESEL FUEL CONSUMPTION ON GASEOUS AND PARTICULATE EMISSIONS
A very efficient and promising approach to improve rapidly the pollutant emission behaviour of an existing diesel vehicle fleet to optimise the fuel consumption with regard to reduced pollutant formation. That is why a European research program was carried out to evaluate the potential of an optimised fuel consumption. Twelve diesel-like fuels were composed performing lower aromatic concentrations and containing oxygenated components. A series-like modern passenger car CR DI diesel engine was operated on a test bench under various steady state conditions using these fuels and - for comparison - a diesel typical reference fuel. Pollutant concentrations were measured in the tailpipe and in-cylinder. To get further information on the transient pollutant emission behavior of the engine, the investigations were extended by vehicle tests (same engine) on a chasis dynamometer. For all experiments the HC, CO, CO2, NOx2, O2 and PM cencentrations were measured.
