Objective
The aim of this project is the construction a prototype particulate trap system, including control system, for the removal and continuos burn off of soot particles from the exhaust from diesel engines. The system is expected also to remove gaseous pollution components such as unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and possibly nitrogen oxides.
The prototype trap system will be tested on city busses.
Exhaust from diesel engines are known to be one of the most important causes of air pollution especially in big cities. The soot content is one of the main factors in smog formation, and it is known to be carcinogenic.
The proposed method is base on an electrochemical principle, wherein the exhaust gas is filtered through an electrochemical reactor. The reactor is composed by an oxygen ion conducting electrolyte, covered by an electron conducting, catalytic active electrode material. The materials and optimal microstructure are being defined in an ongoing development project at Dinex Filter Technology A/S, and the quantitative efficiency and effect on gaseous pollution are being investigated. The development project will lead to the construction of a working demo-filter to be tested on a small engine in a test bench.
The proposed LIFE project will cover the continuation of the development project to the establishment of a pilot scale production of filter elements and functional tests of the trap system on a fleet of city busses. The project will cover the evaluation of pilot scale production methods for electrochemical reactor elements, control and operation systems for the trap, design and integration in exhaust system, endurance test in lab and functional test in city busses.
