Opacity Analysis and Estimation of CO2 Exhausted by a Diesel Engine Vehicle Running under Urban Traffic Conditions
Authors: ,
Abstract: The study includes both the estimation of the total emission of CO2 exhausted by a vehicle equipped with spark ignition engine and the opacity control during testing on the chassis dynamometer in the Road Vehicles Lab of Politehnica University of Timi?oara. The total CO2 estimations were accomplished by DEKRA software assuming that the vehicle is used 60% in urban traffic and 40% in the extra urban. Vehicle testing on the chassis dynamometer LPS 3000 has been achieved in different operating modes, in order to survey the gas opacity with AVL Dicom 4000 analyzer.
