Efficient EGR technology for future HD diesel engine emission targets

Different systems for achieving short-route cooled EGR on turbocharged and aftercooled heavy-duty diesel engines have been tested on a 12 litre 315 kW engine with 4 valves per cylinder and an electronically controlled unit pump fuel injection system. In all of these systems the exhaust gas was tapped off before the turbine, cooled and mixed with...

Heavy-duty approval test cycles: Assessment of currently applied test cycles and theories for the development of new duty cycles

In the development of the new emission reduction technologies, the benefits of the use of these technologies must be assessed for real-life engine use. As in practice engines are developed to perform as good as possible on the approval test cycle on the basis of which emission limits are set, it is of the utmost importance that the engine load...

Heavy duty test cycles and in-use compliance testing

Measurement procedures for the legal limitation of emissions from heavy duty engines should adequately reflect the actual use of such engines in practice. Equally important is the possibility to monitor the emission performance of certified engines on the market. This paper gives a short overview of the experiences with the Dutch in-use...

EGR technology for lowest emissions

An EGR system for turbocharged and aftercooled HD diesel engines has been demonstrated on a 12 litre 315 kW engine with 4 valves per cylinder and a high pressure injection system. In this system exhaust gas is tapped off before the turbine, run through a cooler and mixed with the intake air after the compressor and aftercooler. The EGR system...
