Analysis of environmental vulnerability based on Diesel Particle Filter regenerative limits

Abstract

By testing a compression ignited engine from Dacia Logan, with the overall cylinder capacity of 1461 cm3, the present research shows the experimentally acquired data concerning particulate filter soot impact, particulate filter differential pressure, exhaust gas temperature upstream of the particulate filter as well as voltage on the exhaust gas differential pressure sensor during a practical regeneration procedure and afterwards they are graphically represented and furthermore closely analysed for two scenarios.
