INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT APPLIED LOADS AND VARIOUS SULFUR LEVELS IN DIESEL FUELS ON DIESEL PARTICULATE EMISSIONS

Abstract Details

2003, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Environmental Engineering.
A Generac Model SD080 diesel generator rated at 80 KW, 60 Hz, is used as a DPM emission source. This unit is powered by a Generac Model 5.0 DT diesel engine, which is a 5 liter (304 in3) engine rated at 100 hp at 1800 rpm. A load bank (load simulator), model Merlin 100 manufactured by Simplex is used to simulate loads by applying banks of heaters from 0, 25, 50, 75 KW, respectively. Two types of diesel fuel containing 0.37% and 0.21% sulfur are selected as fuels supplied to this generator. The EPA sampling method 1A - Sample and Velocity Traverses for Stationary Sources with Small Stacks or Ducts – is selected as a reference method for measurement of the stack gas velocity and DPM mass concentration. The results show DPM mass concentrations vary from 10 mg/m3 to 38 mg/m3 as higher loads are applied to the generator and the sulfur content in diesel fuels increases.
