Faulkner, M., J. DuBard, AND J. McDonald. STUDIES OF PARTICULATE REMOVAL FROM DIESEL EXHAUST. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/7-84/029.

Description:

The report gives results of a characterization of the collection of particulate emissions from diesel exhaust by several different methods, using 5.7 liter GM diesel engines (as sources) and such controls as fiber and gravel bed filters, trap/cyclones, and ESPs. Overall and fractional mass collection efficiencies and operating characteristics of the controls were determined by inlet and outlet total mass loading measurements and particle size distributions. Methods of cleaning the control devices and removing collected particulate are discussed.
