Quantification of the Formaldehyde Emissions from Different HCCI Engines Running on a Range of Fuels

Lemel, Mikael ; Hultqvist, Anders LU ; Vressner, Andreas LU ; Nordgren, Henrik LU ; Persson, Håkan LU and Johansson, Bengt LU (2005) In SAE Transactions, Journal of Fuels and Lubricants 114(4). p.1347-1357
Abstract
In this paper, the formaldehyde emissions from three

different types of homogenous charge compression

ignition (HCCI) engines are quantified for a range of

fuels by means of Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR)

spectroscopic analysis. The engines types are

differentiated in the way the charge is prepared. The

characterized engines are; the conventional port fuel

injected one, a type that traps residuals by means of a

Negative Valve Overlap (NVO) and finally a Direct

Injected (DI) one. Fuels ranging from pure n-heptane to

iso-octane via diesel, gasoline, PRF80, methanol and

ethanol were characterized.

In this paper, the formaldehyde emissions from three

different types of homogenous charge compression

ignition (HCCI) engines are quantified for a range of

fuels by means of Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR)

spectroscopic analysis. The engines types are

differentiated in the way the charge is prepared. The

characterized engines are; the conventional port fuel

injected one, a type that traps residuals by means of a

Negative Valve Overlap (NVO) and finally a Direct

Injected (DI) one. Fuels ranging from pure n-heptane to

iso-octane via diesel, gasoline, PRF80, methanol and

ethanol were characterized.



Generally, the amount of formaldehyde found in the

exhaust was decreasing with decreasing air/fuel ratio,

advanced timing and increasing cycle temperature. It

was found that increasing the source of formaldehyde

i.e. the ratio of heat released in the cool-flame, brought

on higher exhaust contents of formaldehyde. The

application of a standard three-way catalyst completely

removed formaldehyde from the exhaust stream. (Less)
