Study finds catalyzed gasoline particulate filters effective at reducing particulate and PAH emissions from GDI engines

Green Car Congress

Their study is publishedin the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology. Top: Gravimetric PM mass, PM mass calculated based on the IPSD method, black carbon, and EC/OC emissions over the LA92 cycle. Bottom: Total particle-phase PAH emissions, expressed in ng/mile, for both test vehicles over the LA92 cycle. Yang et al.

PM mass emissions rates for the FTP and US06 drive cycles as function of vehicle mileage. The EU has already set a standard for 6 × 10 12 number/km limits between 2014 and 2017, tightening to 6 × 10 11 number/km.). These efforts are yielding reductions in PM emissions, but this is still a work in progress. Click to enlarge.

Audi using supplementary port fuel injection to address particulates from gasoline direct injection

Green Car Congress

The EU has set a standard for 6 × 10 12 number/km limits between 2014 and 2017, tightening to 6 × 10 11 number/km. GDI technology provides fuel efficiency benefits from charge air cooling, more facile turbocharging, and the downsizing that these permit. Emissions Engines Vehicle Systems' Earlier post.).

Bosch leading Direct4Gas consortium to develop direct injection for monovalent natural gas engines

Green Car Congress

The problem with this configuration is that neither the combustion process nor the values for efficiency and emissions can be optimized. The very high octane rating and resulting high resistance to knock is promising for small, supercharged, downsized SI engines. The project started in January 2015 and will run until the end of 2017.
