Abstract

Advanced nitrogen oxides (NOx) after-treatment systems for diesel cars are effectively reducing tailpipe NOx emissions in laboratory test cycles; however, some de-NOx systems showed limitation for passing environmental standards during real-world driving conditions. In this study, the NOx concentration of a lean NOx trap (LNT)-equipped diesel engine were investigated over various vehicle certification cycles. The LNT performance was compared to the new European driving cycle (NEDC), world-harmonized light-duty vehicle test cycle (WLTC), federal test procedure (FTP)-75, highway fuel economy test (HWFET), and US06. The real-time NOx concentration behaviors were tracked using NOx sensors at the engine-out and downstream of the LNT to determine the NOx storage and regeneration phase. The NOx conversion efficiencies were 36.3–71.7% of which reflecting the mode severity and cycle duration of the diesel engine. The tailpipe NOx emissions were 0.059 g/km during the NEDC which was within the Euro-6 emissions regulations. The NOx emissions in the WLTC, FTP-75, and US06 modes were approximately 1.9, 1.5, and 6.6 times higher than the NEDC due to the higher frequency of LNT purge and higher engine-out NOx formation. During the diesel particulate filter (DPF) regenerating stage in WLTC mode, tailpipe NOx emissions substantially increased by more than 8.8-fold. The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) supply and lambda control scheme were closely related with strong NOx increment at de-NOx and de-PM processes.
