Thermal energy storage system for efficient diesel exhaust aftertreatment at low temperatures

Secondary organic aerosol production from diesel vehicle exhaust: impact of aftertreatment, fuel chemistry and driving cycle

Environmental chamber (“smog chamber”) experiments were conducted to investigate secondary organic aerosol (SOA) production from dilute emissions from two medium-duty diesel vehicles (MDDVs) and three heavyduty diesel vehicles (HDDVs) under urban-like conditions. Some of the vehicles were equipped with emission control aftertreatment devices, including diesel particulate filters (DPFs), selecti...

Particulate Matter and NOx Exhaust Aftertreatment Systems

Fleet fuel consumption is greatly reduced through the introduction of the HSDI Diesel engine. The reduced fuel consumption is then reflected in a reduction of CO2 emissions. The drop in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions results in a rise in market acceptance, which is also the result of desirable driving performance and greatly improved NVH behavior. The continuously increasing demands on plac...

Modeling and Efficient Control of Microturbine Generation System With Battery Energy Storage for Sensitive Loads

Microturbine generation system is one of the most promising and a fast growing distributed generation sources. It is used in various applications thanks to high efficiency, quick start and high reliability. Combination of the microturbine and storage system (e.g. battery bank) is desirable selection to satisfy the load requirements under all conditions and hence the battery bank can play an imp...

Aquifer thermal energy storage A well doublet experiment at increased temperatures

The two main objectives of this communication are to present a study of potential advantages and disadvantages of the doublet supply-injection well configuration in an aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) system and to report on aquifer storage problems with injection temperatures in the 80øC range. A 3-month injection-storage-recovery c cle followed by a 7.3-month cycle constituted the main e...
