Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The proposal is centred on the development of an after-treatment system capable of reducing particul emissions from gasoline-fuelled vehicles to very low levels. The approach is to examine first the advantages of the application of an electrostatic field, thermophoretic and centrifugal forces for trapping particulates in the exhaust pipe and, together with Johnson Matthey who, in a parallel programme, will explore methods for burning them, design and make a prototype system that will be tested at Imperial College under exhaust simulated conditions and at Johnson Matthey's engine test facilities under typical driving patterns.Keywords describing areas of proposal.Gasoline Engines, Exhaust Particulates, After-Treatment Technology
