Abstract

This work has focused on the development and evaluation of an experimental set-up to measure in real time and with on-board equipments the particle emissions of diesel vehicle minimizing the uncertainties associated to dilution ratio, the length of the transfer line and the sampling point in the engine exhaust pipe. Its suitability has been verified by ensuring the repeatability of the results in dynamometer tests reproducing standard circuits, as well as in closed circuits and in real urban traffic in Madrid, Spain. The experience derived from this work has been very useful, contributing to the advance in the measurement of particle number and size distribution in real time using on-board equipment and bringing us closer to understanding the relationship between the physical characteristics of the particles emitted by a diesel engine and its operation in real urban traffic conditions. The proposed on-board system has provided very satisfactory results.
