Fouling has limited the evolution of compact heat exchangers (represented by EGR cooler)
to smaller and more efficient sizes, an important reason is the unclear mechanism of the …

Based on the self-established experiment and test platform and evaluation system, we
studied the effects of hydrocarbon condensation on mass, hydrophilicity, color, and …

Water vapor is, aside from carbon dioxide, the major fossil fuel combustion by-product.
Depending on its concentration in the exhaust gas mixture as well as on the exhaust gas …

Cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is widely used in diesel engines to control engine
out NO x (oxides of nitrogen) emissions. A portion of the exhaust gases is re-circulated into …

Bulk flow condensation caused by the mixing of air streams at different temperatures and
humidities is a thermodynamic process that requires strong assumptions to be calculated …

Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler fouling occurs when particulate matter (PM) and
hydrocarbons (HC) in diesel exhaust form a deposit on the walls of the EGR cooler through …

The abatement of nitrogen oxides emissions is a topic of major concern for automotive
manufacturers. In addition to aftertreatment solutions such as LNT or SCR devices, the use …

An experimental study of deposit removal and effectiveness improvement of EGR cooler was
conducted by a non-thermal plasma reactor with different gas mixtures (80–20, 60–40, 40 …

Cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is widely used in diesel engines to control engine-
out NOx (oxides of nitrogen) emissions. A portion of the exhaust gases is re-circulated into …

Research was conducted on a means of responding to the issue of sticking of exhaust gas
recirculation valves resulting from the occurrence of high concentrations of hydrocarbons …
