Over the past few months, we have converted it to DME together with our partner FPT. In addition, the valves and valve seat inserts were converted to materials suitable for DME. An electrically driven compressor for precise exhaust gas recirculation is also used. This is done via exhaust gas recirculation (EGR).

FEBRUARY 27, 2024

Although the pollutant emissions of a diesel engine are less than those of a gasoline one, it still emits carcinogens, nitrous oxides, and soot. To reduce emissions, diesel vehicles use filters that catch exhaust particles and other contaminants. Older models don’t even have the emission-control features that newer ones do.

The high-performance, three-way catalytic (TWC) converter is one of the workhorses of emissions reduction for gasoline engines. This function is crucial in current TWC, in which the oxygen partial pressure in the exhaust must be regulated to be near the ideal air-to-fule ration (A/F = 14.6). —Machida et al.
