Determination of Alternative Fuels Combustion Products: Phase 2 Final Report

Determination of Alternative Fuels Combustion Products: Phase 2 Final Report

Center for Integrated Mobility Sciences

Research output: NREL › Subcontract Report

Abstract

This report, which covers the second year of this effort, describes the laboratory work to accomplish four independent tasks: (1) speciation of hydrocarbon exhaust emissions from a light-duty vehicle operated over the chassis dynamometer portion of the light-duty FTP after modifications for operation on butane and butane blends: (2) evaluation of NREL's Variable Conductance Vacuum InsulatedCatalytic Converter Test Article 4 for the reduction of cold-start FTP exhaust emissions after extended soak periods for a Ford FFV Taurus operating on E83; (3) support of the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI) in an attempt to define correlations between engine-out combustion products identified by SwRI during chassis dynamometer testing, and those found during flow tube reactorexperiments conducted by UDRI; and (4) characterization of small-diameter particulate matter from a Ford Taurus FFV operating in a simulated fuel-rich failure mode on CNG, LPG, M85, E85 and reformulated gasoline.
