| Abstract |
Volume I of the report gives emission results from field tests of the exhaust gas from a large-bore, compression-ignition reciprocating engine burning diesel fuel. An objective of the tests was to evaluate the operating efficiency of the engine with combustion modification NOx control to reduce emissions to below the proposed NOx new source performance standard (NSPS) of 600 ppm at 15 percent O2 dry. Engine NOx emissions were reduced 31 percent (from 825 to 571 ppm) at 15 percent O2 with 3.5 degrees of fuel injection timing retard. The reduction was accompanied by a 1 percent loss in engine efficiency. CO emissions decreased slightly (from 119 to 90 ppm). Total unburned hydrocarbons remained relatively unchanged (25 ppm), as did particulate emissions (35 ng/J) and total organic emissions (55 ng/J). Volatile organics (boiling point less than about 100 C) accounted for the largest fraction of the total organic. Naphthalene, fluoroanthene, phenanthrene/anthracene, and pyrene were the only organic priority pollutants detected in both tests at levels below 70 micrograms/dscm. |
