Measurement of the NOx emission of light diesel vehicles in real road driving by PEMS
Abstract:
The exhaust emissions generated by diesel vehicles have great impacts to local air
pollution. The most damaging pollutants of diesel vehicles are nitrogen oxides (NOx) and
particulate matter (PM). PM has been classified by WTO as a carcinogen, and nitrogen oxides
are also classified as potentially carcinogenic. The emission of diesel vehicles has been
regulated by EPA since 1987 in Taiwan. The emission standard at the present time is
equivalent to EU 5. However, the emission test is carried out in a well controlled laboratory
with a specified driving cycle. It has been criticized that the test does not reflect the real
emissions on the road. The real road condition is much more complicated and harsh. The
emission generated on the real road might be quite different from that in the laboratory. This
paper presents the emission measurement of light diesel vehicles on real roads. A portable
vehicle measurement system (PEMS) was used to measure the concentration of pollutants in
the tailpipe. The instantaneous exhaust flow rate was also recorded with a pitot tube. The real
emission was accumulated by integration of the measured concentration variations. Three
different driving modes were arranged in each test, including urban, rural, and highway.
Several light diesel vehicles that meet EU 5 and EU6 standard were tested. Results of test
showed that highway mode has the highest emission rate while urban mode emits the least
pollutants.
