POSTECH, Hyundai team develops new more thermally robust catalyst for NOx reduction with diesel engines

Green Car Congress

Andrews in the UK has developed a new, more thermally robust catalyst for NO x aftertreatment systems for diesel engines. This prohibits closer placement of the catalyst to the engine, requiring an aggressive warm-up with extra fuel burning during the cold-start. —Ryu et al. Park, G.

Mazda introduces HAZUMI concept along with new 1.5-liter SKYACTIV-D diesel

Green Car Congress

This compact and lightweight clean diesel engine is designed for combustion efficiency, just like the larger displacement SKYACTIV-D 2.2. Conventional diesel engines generally have a high compression ratio; hence, the compression temperature and pressure at piston top dead center (TDC) are extremely high. Earlier post.)

U. Mich, Ford team studies effect of ethanol in reducing PM from DISI engines; insights into fueling strategies to reduce soot

Green Car Congress

A team from the University of Michigan and Ford’s Research and Advanced Engineering group in Dearborn has studied the effects of ethanol on reducing particulate emissions from a direct injection spark ignition (DISI) engine by comparing neat anhydrous ethanol with a baseline fuel of reference grade gasoline (indolene).
