The increasingly stringent emission regulations, such as US 2010, Tier 2 Bin 5 and beyond,
off-road Tier 4 final, and Euro V/5 for particulate matter (PM) reduction applications, will …

Particulate filters are massively used in new diesel vehicles to reduce particulate emissions
below the regulation limits. The setting of filters in the exhaust lines imposes various …

Heat transfer in wall-flow monoliths has gained in interest because of the widespread
adoption of these systems by automotive industry to fulfil soot emission regulations and the …

Diesel oxidation catalysts and diesel particulate filters are standard aftertreatment systems in
Diesel engines which are traditionally placed downstream of the turbine. However, pre-turbo …

This paper corresponds to the second part of a work devoted to analyse the impact of the pre-
turbo aftertreatment configuration on the performance of a single stage turbocharged Diesel …

Pre-turbo aftertreatment systems benefit from an increase of the temperature across the
monolith reducing the time up to DOC light-off and reaching better conditions for passive …

The pressure drop across the aftertreatment systems directly affects the fuel economy as a
function of the flow characteristics and also the soot loading in the case of the Diesel …

Diesel particulate filters are the most useful technology to reduce particulate matter from the
exhaust gas of internal combustion engines. Although these devices have suffered an …

Turbocharging is an important method that is aimed at achieving maximum mechanical
efficiency & fuel-economy, both simultaneously in automobiles. The principle objective of …

Upcoming emissions regulations will force to optimize aftertreatment system to reduce
emissions looking for lack of fuel penalty. Despite advances in purely aftertreatment aspects …
