Organic Gas Speciation Profiles for Running Exhaust of CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) Transit Buses Equipped with TWC (Three-Way Catalysts) — OG2403 & OG2404
نویسنده
چکیده
Two organic gas speciation profiles (OG2403 and OG2404) for compressed natural gas (CNG) transit buses equipped with three-way catalysts (TWC) were developed in this work to complement the current CARB organic gas speciation profile database. The profiles were created based on chassis dynamometer test data of two transit buses equipped with TWCs running on CNG. Profile OG2403 was made for Steady-State (SS) cruise cycle and Profile OG2404 was for Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule (UDDS) cycle.

Particle and gaseous emissions from compressed natural gas and ultralow sulphur diesel-fuelled buses at four steady engine loads.
Exhaust emissions from thirteen compressed natural gas (CNG) and nine ultralow sulphur diesel in-service transport buses were monitored on a chassis dynamometer. Measurements were carried out at idle and at three steady engine loads of 25%, 50% and 100% of maximum power at a fixed speed of 60 km h(-1). Emission factors were estimated for particle mass and number, carbon dioxide and oxides of ni...
متن کاملDual Fuelling of a Direct Injection Automotive Diesel Engine by Diesel and Compressed Natural Gas
Application of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in diesel engines has always been important, especially in the field of automotive engineering. This is due to easy accessibility, better mixing quality and good combustion characteristics of the CNG fuel. In this study the application of CNG fuel along with diesel oil in a heavy duty direct-injection automotive diesel engine is experimentally investi...
متن کاملLife-Cycle Costs of Alternative Fuels: Is Biodiesel Cost Competitive for Urban Buses?
The purpose of this paper is to provide an expected cost comparison for operating a transit-bus fleet on three different alternative fuels-biodiesel, compressed natural gas (CNG), and methanol. Petroleum diesel is the base fuel. Infrastructure, refueling, and maintenance costs are all part of running an urban transit bus. Additional expenditures would be needed to change fuel storage and delive...
متن کاملImpact of Compressed Natural Gas Fueled Buses on Street Pavements
Federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA) and the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT), together with other state regulations have encouraged or mandated transit systems to use alternative fuels to power bus fleets. Among such fuels, compressed natural gas (CNG) is attractive, although it must be stored in robust, heavy pressurized cylinders, capable of withstanding pressures up to 5,000 psi...
متن کاملLocation of compressed natural gas stations using multi-objective flow refueling location model in the two-way highways: A case study in Iran
Increasing the use of fossil fuels is with severe environmental and economic problems, bringing more attention to alternative fuels. The compressed natural gas (CNG), as an alternative fuel, offers many more benefits than gasoline or diesel fuel such as cost-effectiveness, lower pollution, better performance, and lower maintenance costs. Gas stations location and the number of gas stations are ...
