An experimental study on measurement of diesel particulate emission using dilution tunnels
희석터널을 사용한 디젤엔진 미립자상 배출물 측정에 관한 연구
Abstract
A Mini-Dilution Tunnel is described as a scaled down comparision of a Standard Tunnel. The paper presents the result of experimental investigations on measuring the particulate emission of a diesel engine in a Mini and a Standard Dilution Tunnel. The result offers a contribution to understanding about the influence of several parameters including dilution ratios, mixture temperatures, mixture conditions, filter temperatures, and flow conditions. In the experiment either increasing the filter temperature and mixture temperature at a fixed dilution ratio or increasing the dilution ratio at a fixed filter temperature and mixture temperature resulted in a decrease in the total particulate mass. These changes in total particulate mass were attributed to the changes in the soluble organic fraction of the particulate sample. Also, mass differences between the Mini and the Standard Dilution Tunnel for the same engine conditions were within approximately 15% of each other.
