Characterization of an uneven DBD reactor for diesel PM removal

An uneven dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor of 21 electrode pairs that can improve the energy efficiency for the removal of particulate matter (PM) from a diesel engine is characterized. Ninety percent of PM (about 0.48 g/h) is removed by plasma discharges at an energy injection of 90 W int...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An uneven dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor of 21 electrode pairs that can improve the energy efficiency for the removal of particulate matter (PM) from a diesel engine is characterized. Ninety percent of PM (about 0.48 g/h) is removed by plasma discharges at an energy injection of 90 W into an exhaust gas (40 Nm3/h with PM emission rate 0.53 g/h). The discharge properties and relations of PM removal and energy efficiency with energy injection are given. The fuel penalty due to the use of the uneven DBD reactor is estimated. Comparison with other types of DBD reactors is carried out. Copyright © 2009 Curtin University of Technology and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
