Exhaust aftertreatment methods
Aftertreatment of engine exhaust emissions as a means of emission control requires different systems for spark-ignition and diesel engines. While three-way catalytic converters are used with conventional spark-ignition engines, diesel engines are fitted w

Preface The enormous increase in environment al pollution caused by combustion processes makes it essential that solutions are found for their reduction. A major portion ofthis problem is caused by the exhaust emissions from combustion engines. In the early 1960's, the first laws governing emissions were passed in the USA. The introduction of the A-regulated three-way catalytic converter was a breakthrough in the reduction of pollutant emissions in Europe and Japan as weil. Over the last several years, there has been much discussion on the interrelation ofC0 2 emissions with the global warming phenomenon. This in turn has increased press ure to develop and produce more fuel efficient engines and vehicles. This is the central topic of this book. It covers the underlying processes which cause pollutant emissions and the possibilities of reducing them, as weil as the fuel consumption of gasoline and diesel engines, including direct injection diesel engines. As weil as the engine-related causes
