Particulate size and composition measurements for diesel exhaust after treatment

Objective

The project is part of an "ex-ante" cluster on Diesel Exhaust After treatment (DEXA), aiming at significant reductions in CO2 emissions, effected through the deployment of highly efficient direct injection Diesel engines for passenger cars. The present project provides solutions to the need for reliable measuring and testing methodologies and instrumentation for quality assessment of DEXA technology, with emphasis on real-time, in-site measurement of particle size and composition. This will be achieved deploying beyond state-of-the art methodologies (measurement of joint particle size-composition distributions with optical, irradiation, electrical mobility and aerodynamic techniques) through a measurement and testing campaign based on: procurement and benchmarking of techniques followed by studies for the assessment of engine management strategies and their synergistic interplay with after treatment technology. This will facilitate the advent of measurement and testing methodologies that have the potential to become the future basis for new and emerging technologies for monitoring and controlling particulate emissions.
