Diesel Exhaust Aftertreatment 2000-2007 PT-126

Diesel engines continue to be widely used in heavy-duty commercial applications around the world, and they are also gaining popularity in light-duty applications such as passenger cars. With this comes increased concern for and regulation of diesel emissions - most notably particulate matter (PM) and nitric oxide (NOx) emissions.

As the restrictions grow tighter, exhaust aftertreatment technologies must become more efficient and reliable. The 55 SAE technical papers in this compilation will guide engineers in their efforts to meet these new regulations by summarizing the latest diesel exhaust aftertreatment technology for both light- and heavy-duty applications.

Chapters include:

• Introduction: Regulations, Emission Control Requirements, Technology Trends
• PM Control
• NOx Control
• Integrated and Combined Systems for Simultaneous PM and NOx Control
• Fuel and Lubricants Effects
• Modelling
