Emission characteristics of PCDD/Fs in diesel engine with variable load rate.
Emission characteristics of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in diesel engine were studied with variable load rate of the diesel engine with the emission test cycles, US D-13 mode. The load rate is changed from 25% to 50% and 75% at constant speed of 2400 rpm. PCDD/Fs concentration and phase distribution of PCDD/Fs with the isokinetic sampling of exhaust gas is obtained in this study. The average PCDD/Fs concentrations per unit of exhaust gas with 25%, 50% and 75% load rate are 14.5, 6.9 and 6.4 pg-TEQ/N m3, respectively. In all diesel engine runs, PCDFs are more prevalent than PCDDs. As a load rate is increased, the ratio of PCDDs is gradually decreased. The amount of high-chlorinated PCDDs emitted in diesel engine is larger than that of low-chlorinated PCDDs. The significant emission form of PCDD/Fs produced from diesel engines exhaust is a gas phase.
