ABSTRACT








     Exhaust  emissions  from  a  diesel  passenger  car  were characterized  and



measured  to  examine the  effect  of ambient  temperature  on emissions  perfor-



mance.  The vehicle was tested at  three  temperatures  on  a  chassis  dynamometer



located within  a  cold  cell.   Three driving cycles and three  fuels  of  varying



quality were  used.   The  effort  included  measurements  of regulated  exhaust



gases and particles, particulate organic fractions  and  their  molecular-weight



distributions, particulate fractions under 2 microns  in  diameter,  trace  metal



contents,   and  fuel  economy.  Results  indicate  that reductions  in  ambient



temperature had little effect on  emissions or fuel economy  in  this  study.   In



some cases,  statistically  significant  increases  in NO   emissions  were measured
                                                     X


with  decreases  in  ambient  test  temperature.   Other  difference?  related  to



temperature effects occurred  more  frequently  with  the  lower quality fuels.

-------
UNDER  SECTION  202  PART  A  OF  THE  CLEAN  AIR  ACT,  the  Administrator of  the



Environmental   Protection  Agency  (EPA)  is  required  by  law  to  establish



standards regulating emissions from new motor  vehicles.   In  carrying  out this




mandate, emissions from motor vehicles are examined  under a variety of driving



conditions,  ambient  temperatures,  and  transient   or  steady-state   speeds.



Effects  related  to the  use  of different fuels  are  also  examined.   Emission



factors obtained  in these  studies  enable  prediction of the impact of  specific



pollutants on the public health.



     Pursuant   to  the   need   for   obtaining   additional  emission   factor



information, the  central  thrust  of this study was directed  at  an examination



of  the sensitivity  of  light-duty  diesel  emissions  to  ambient  temperature.



Because  previous  temperature  studies  (1-4)*  had  left  the  fuel   and  driving



cycle  parameters  unexplored,  an   addition?.!  objective  was  to  investigate



temperature sensitivity by including these parameters.



     Results obtained  in  the  low temperature studies   cited  above  have  led  to



the  general  conclusion that regulated  gas  emissions,  including  hydrocarbons



(HC),  carbon  monoxide  (CO),  and  nitrogen  oxides  (NO ), are  net nearly  so
                                                       X


temperature  dependent  as   those   from  conventional   spark-ignition  engines.



Particulate matter  emissions  appear  more  sensitive  to  temperature;  however,



their precise trends are not well  understood.   For example, in  experiments  run



by  Braddock  (3)   in  which   the   temperature   of  the  cold   soak  (pretest



conditioning),  exhaust dilution  air,  and test  run  approximated  local  winter



ambient  conditions,  particulate   emission  rates  increased  with  decreasing



temperatures.   The opposite trend  was  noted  in tests  by  Seizinger  et al.  (4)
^Numbers in parentheses designate references at end of paper.

in which  cold  soak  and  run  temperatures  were  maintained  at near  constant



preset  level    and  room  air  (70°F)  was  used  to  dilute  exhaust  gases  for



samp!ing,



     In this stud  '.he vehicle was  soaked  and  run  in a temperature-controlled



cell  similar to U-*  used by Seizinger.  Therefore,  temperatures  could  be set



and closely  control.-d  to near constant  levels  throughout the cold  soak and



emissions   test.   Ex!  .-st gases  were diluted  in  room  air maintained  around



72°F.



     The  emissions  • -iaract^ri zation  included  regulated  diesel  automobile



pollutants HC,  CO,  N1"  ,   and  particulate  matter,  particulate  soluble organic



fractions  (SOF), par"  "ulate fraction under 2\\ mass  median diameter (HMD), SOF



molecular  weight dr..'.ributions, and  particulate elemental  emissions.   Samples



have  also  been  ••.  'lected  for  deterni nation  of  SOF  polynuclear  aromatic



hydrocarbon  conte'   and  Ames  bioassay  activity.   However,  results  are  not



available  for inclusion  in thir  paper.

-------
 EXPERIMENTAL  PROCEDURE







      VEHICLE  SELECTION~-Resource  limitations  permitted  examination  of  only  one



 vehicle.   The selected  car,  a  1984 Oldsmobile 98 Regency, was equipped with  a



 5.7-1,  V-8 diesel  engine,  A more complete  description  of  the  vehicle  is  given



 in  Tab!e  1.



      The   Oldsmobile  was  a   consumer-owned  vehicle  loaned  to  EPA  for  the



 duration   of  the  study.   It  was  selected  from  a  group  of  vehicles   owned



 by  Raleigh,  N.C.,  residents  who  had been  solicited  for participation in  the



 diesel  emissions project.   Selection of  the  Oldsmobile was predicated on  the



 desire  to test  a  large,   rear  wheel-drive  vehicle  because  such  vehicles



 generally display  better  run-to-run  repeatability on  a chassis dynamometer.



 Both  cj?seous  and  participate  matter emission  rates  were  found  to be highly



 repeatable.



      TEST FUELS--Three  fuels were  examined  in  the study:  (1) "baseline",  (2)



 "high quality",  and (3)  "low quality" (see  Table  2),  Both  the low  quality  and



 high  quality fuels  were specially  blended  diesel  fuels  provided  by  the



 Coordinating   Research   Council,   Inc.   (CRC)  following  their  use  in   the



..CAPE-32-80 project at .the  Southwest Research Institute ,(S).  The high quality,



 fuel  was  characterized  by high cetane number  and  low aromatic  content; the  low



 quality  fuel   by low cetane  number and  high aromatic  content.   The  boiling



 ranges  of  both  fuels  were   intentionally  similar.    Because   only   small



 quantities of  these  fuels   were  available,  testing  at low  temperatures  was



 limited to the Urban  Dynamometer  Driving  Schedule  (UDDS).



      The  baseline  fuel  was  a No.  2 diesel  fuel  obtained from a local  vendor.



 It  was  used  in  preliminary tests  to qualify sampling and analysis  systems  and



 temperature  effects for a variety  of transient  cycles.   It was the only fuel



 for which emissions data were obtained at  each  of the  three temperatures  and



 test  cycles examined.



                                      4

-------
TEST PROCEDURES








     DRIVING CYCLES--Most  of  the tests were  conducted  using the  EP.Vs  UDDS,



which  is  divided  into  three  phases:   cold  transient  (Phase  1),  stabilized



(Phase 2),  and  hot transient  (Phase  3).   A 10-min soak  interval  is  included



between the stabilized and hot  transient  phases,  during  which time no exhaust



emissions are generated.



     Tests were  also  run using  the  highway fuel  economy test  (HFET)  and  the



New  York  City  cycle  (NYCC).   The HFET is the driving cycle  used  to determine



highway fuel  economy  ratings  (6,7),  and  the NYCC  is  used  to  simulate  slow,



stop-and-go city driving.  Descriptions  of all  test cycles  conducted  in  this



study are given in Table  3.



     FACILITY  DESCRIPTION—All  emission  tests were  conducted with a  chassis



dynamometer for vehicle  road  load simulation.  The  dynamometer  simulated  road



load by means  of  a DC electric motor-generator directly  coupled  to the  front



rolls of  the  dynamometer.    The rear  rolls  were  coupled during  tests to  the



f»~ont rolls through engagement of a  clutch located on the front  shaft.



     Exhaust  gases  from  the   test   vehicTe  were  directed  via   a   7.6-cm



(3-in.) diameter, flexible, stainless steel  line  to a 20.3-cm (8-in.)  diameter



dilution tunnel (Figure 1).  Within  the tunnel,  raw exhaust  gas  was thoroughly



mixed  with  filtered  dilution air,   and  the  diluted mixture  was  ther,  drawn



through  the  system   by  a  positive  displacement  pump  located  downstream.



Temperature of the diluted  gas varied slightly but was  generally around 100°F;



flow rates  within the constant volume  system  (CVS) were  maintained at  620



scfm.  Gas and particulate  matter samples were collected using probes  inserted




in the diluted exhaust gas  within the tunnel.

-------
     Low  temperatures  were  simulated using a  refrigerated  cell  that enclosed



trie vehicle  on  the dynamometer.  Test temperatures were  held constant in Lhe



cell during  the test and during  the cold soak period  immediately before it.



Temperatures  were  monitored  using  thermocouples  located  in  the  engine's



crankcase oil and coolant and in the cold cell.



     Before  each  UDDS,  the  vehicle  was conditioned  (soaked)  at  the  test



temperature  for 8 h.  After warming up tne dynamometer, the vehicle was pushed



onto the  dynamometer rolls and testing proceeded.



     During  the  UDDS  and  NYCC.  temperatures  inside  the  test cell  hovered



within  two   degrees  of the  temperature   set  point.   The  largest  temperature



deviation (+7°F)  occurred  during HFETs  at  the 20°F set  point.   Temperatures



monitored in  the  engine's  oil  sump  are plotted as a function of test time in



Figure  2  for each of  the  test  cycles  and test temperatures  examined.   These



graphs  indicate that ambient temperature  has  its  greatest influence on engine



and oil  temperature at the  beginning  of each test and  that  it  continues  to



influence temperatures even after the engine is fully  warmed up.  This finding



is  contrary  to  results reported  by Braddock.  (3),  probably  because  tests  in



this study were conducted in a  temperature-controlled  cold coll.



     The testing sequence and the sampling effort.summary is shown in Table 4. ;



The vehicle  was first tested using  the  baseline  fuel  to  identify conditions



that were  sensitive to ambient  temperature changes.    Because HFET  and  NYCC



emissions did not appear  to be  affected by low temperature  operation,  these



cycles  v/ere  excluded  from  the  20°F and  50°F tests   with the  low  and  high



quality fuels.

and  total   particulate  mass   were  measured  according  to  Federal  Register



procedures.  Conventional  hot  flame  ionization  detection procedures were used



for   HCs,    nondispersive   infrared   procedures   for   CO    and   C0~,   and



chemi1uminescence  procedures  for  NO  .   Total  particulate  emission  rates were
                                    A


measured by  sampling the diluted exhaust  flow  with four  parallel  20  x 20-in



filters  (8).   Individual  test  phase  and  composite FTP  particulate  emission



rates were  measured with  47-mm  filters  (9).   Particulate SOF was  determined



using   previously   described   filtration-gravimetric   and  solvent-extraction



procedures (10).  The fractions of particles with less than 2u MMD (2y cutoff)



were determined using  a  cyclone  size-selective  sampling  procedure  of  John and



Reischl  (11).  Pallflex T60A20 Teflon-coated glass fiber filters were  used for



all  particulate  filtration,  with  the  exception  that  Fluoropore  FA  Teflon



membrane filters  were  used  to  collect  particles  for  elemental analysis  by



x-ray fluorescence  (12).   Molecular weight  distributions of  the  particulate



organics  in  the  C,?  to  C™  range  were  determined  by  gas  chromatography



according to the procedure of Black  and  High (10).







RESULTS  AND DISCUSSION







     REGULATED  AND PARTICULATE SOE EMISSIONS AND FUEL  ECONOMY TRENDS--Averages



and standard deviations of the test results for  the emissions  of HC,  CO, NO ,
                                                                            A


particulate matter, and SOF and for  fuel  economy are presented for  each of the



three test  temperatures in Tables 5 and 6.   In  general,  emissions  differences



due to  temperature  changes are small.   Statistically  significant  differences



that do  occur are  most  frequent  with  the  low quality fuel and least  frequent

-------
with the high quality fuel.



     For  the  basel'ne and  low  quality fuels,  UDDS  Phase I HC  emissions  are



higher at the 20°F temperature.  Such elevated levels art reasonable to expect



during this cold  start  portion  when  unburned  HCs are more readily quenched on



cold  cylinder  surfaces.   However,  for the  HFET and  NYCC,  HC  emissions  are



actually  lower  Ot  the  20°F test.   Since  both are  warm-start  tests,  cold



quenching  is  reduced  and an  increase  in  engine volumetric efficiency  due to



the  intake  of  cooler,   more  densely  packed  charges  of  air,   becomes  the



controlling  mechanism  in  reducing  HC  emissions.    Increases   in  volumetric



efficiency also  affect  CO emissions,  which  show a  slight tendency to 'decrease



with  cooler  temperatures  in a  warmed-up  engine,  particularly  with  th?  low



quality  fuel  (see Table  5). Increased NO   emissions  with decreases  in  test



temperature  were  the most  consistent  and  significant temperature  effects



noted.   These  trends  were  observed  with  all  fuels  and  test  cycles examined.



For  the  UDDS,  NO  emissions increased an average of 33  percent  from the  75°F



to the 20°F test temperature.  These increases largely resulted from increased



engine load at low temperatures  due  to  greater  friction  losses  in the engine,




drivetrain, and  tires.    Fuel  economy  trends,  which reflect  engine loading,



also fell slightly with a decrease in  temperature.   An average  drop of 9%  was



observed  in  the  UDDS when  the temperature  was reduced from  75°F  to  20°F.



Significant drops  in  fuel  economy  with decreased temperatures can  be  seen in



the  UDDS  Phase  I data  which best  reflect cold-start  and warm-up conditions.



Emission  of  particulate  matter decreases  slightly  with lowered  temperature



when using  low quality  fuel.   Otherwise,  particulate matter  and SOF  do  not



appear to be significantly  affected  by temperature  in this study.   Since  gas



phase adsorption is a  temperature-dependent process,  this observation could be



biased by not  using cold dilution air.

-------
with the high quality fuel.



     For  the  baseline and  low  quality fuels,  UOOS  Phase I HC  emissions  are



higher at the 20°F temperature.  Such elevated levels are reasonable to expect



dur-ng this cold  start  portion  when  unhurried  HCs  are more readily quenched on



cold  cylinder  surfaces.   However,  for the  HFET  and  NYCC,  HC  emissions  are



actually  lower  at  the  20°F test.   Since  both  are  warm-start  tests,  cold



quenching  is  reduced  and an  increase  in  engine volumetric efficiency  due to



the  intake  of  cooler,  more  densely  packed  charges  cf  air,  becomes  the



controlling  mechanism  in   reducing  HC  emissions.    Increases   in  volumetric



efficiency also  affect CO  emissions, which  show a  slight tendency to decrease



with  cooler  temperatures  in a  warmed-up  engine,  particularly  with  the  low



quality  fuel  (see Table 5). Increased NO   emissions  with decreases  in  test
                                          A


temperature  were  the most,  consistent  and  significant  temperature  effects



noted.   These  trends  were   observed with  all  fuels and  test  cycles  examined.



For the  UDDS.,  NO  emissions increased  an average of 33  percent  from the  75°F



to the 20DF test temperature.  These increases largely resulted from increased



engine load at low temperatures  due to  greater  friction  losses  in the engine,



drivetrain, and  tires.   Fuel  economy   trends,  which  reflect  engine loading,



also fel1 slightly with a decrease in  temperature.  An average  drop  of 9%  was



observed  in  the  UDDS when  the temperature  was  reduced from  75°F  to  20°F.



Significant drops in  fuel  economy  with decreased temperatures can be  seen in



the HODS  Phase  I data which best  reflect cold-start  and warm-up conditions.



Emission  of  particulate matter decreases  slightly  with lowered  temperature



when using  low quality  fuel.   Otherwise,  particulate matter  and SOF  do  not



appear to be significantly  affected  by temperature in this study.   Since  gas



phase adsorption is a  temperature-dependent process,  this observation could be



biased by not  using cold dilution air.

-------
     Emission differences due solely  to  fuel  effects  are apparent in Tables 5



and 6.  Differences  in  HC,  CO,  and SOF emissions are significant, while those



for  NO   and  participate   matter  are  not.   The  Urban Dynamometer  Driving



Schedule HC  emissions  with  the low quality fuel  were  about four times higher



than  those  with  the  high  quality  fuel.   Comparable  differences  were  also



observed  in  HFET and  NYCC  tests.    This  tendency  for  large  increases  in



HCs with increase in fuel aromatic content  was  also observed  in the CRC,  CAPE



32-80  project  (5).   Test  results in  that  project  with  a   1982  Oldsmobile



operating  on  the  same  low and  high  quality   fuels  indicated  a   five  fold



increase  in  HCs with  the   low  quality  fuel.   Carbon monoxide  emissions  were



also sensitive to fuel  type but emission differences were not so pronounced as



those  noted  with  HCs.  For  the  UDDS,  CO  increased about  40? when operating on



the  low  quality  fuel.   Particulate  matter emissions  were not significantly



affected by  fuel  tyoe, but particulate SOF  (extractables) was substantially



lower  for  the high quality  fuel.



     A comparison  of emission  rates  and trends  observed  in  this  study  with



those  observed  in  the  CRC  study  mentioned  previously  is  shown  in  Figure  3.



Both studies  contain an  examination  of  identical high  and  low  quality fuels,



but the CRC  data  are for a 1982  Oldsmobile.    In general,  comparison  between



fuel  effect  trends  in  both  studies  is  good.   Hydrocarbons,  CO,  and  SOF



increase with  use of  the  low  quality  fuel;  total  particulate matter  mass



emissions  remain almost, unchanged.



     TRACE  ELEMENT,   MOLECULAR  WEIGHT  DISTRIBUTION,  AND  PARTICULATE  SIZE



TRENDS--Particulate matter  emissions  were  examined  for  trace  element  content



using  an x-ray  fluorescence technique.  Results from these  examinations  are



given  in Table  7.   Values   represent  content  as a percent  of  t>e total  trace




element content.   Trace elements comprised  about 3%  of the total particle

-------
weight, which  is  in close agreement with  results  in other  studies  (14,  15).



Neither fuel  nor  test temperature appears to  have  any effect  on  particulate



trace element content in this study.



     The molecular weight distribution of  the  particulate  organic  extract was



examined for  shifts  due to  temperature effects with the low quality and  high



quality  fuels.    Results  graphically  depicted in  Figure   4 illustrate  that



shifts in the distribution fail to occur in the UODS regardless  of temperature



or   fuel  effects.    The   median  carbon  number  of   the  molecular  weight



distribution  histograms, which  is  defined  as  the carbon number value equally



dividing the  total area of the  bars, is  approximately  Cpp  at all  temperatures



for  both fuels.   Results  contrary to  these  reported  in a  previous  study (3)



indicate a pronounced shift occurring  toward lower molecular weight  compounds



at low ambient temperature.   Because  dilution air for the  exhaust gas sampling



system was  at ambient  temperature  in  that  study,  the shift  at  low  ambient



temperature  might  be  attributed to phenomena  associated with low  temperature



gas phase adsorption of low molecular weight  organic  compounds.



     The effect  of  ambient  temperature and   fuel  usage  on  the  fraction  of



particles less  than 2u in  diameter  is  shown  in Figure  5.  Considering  the



magnitude of the standard  deviations  depicted,  neither  ambient temperature nor



fuel  usage  appear to have  any significant effect on  the 2p  fraction.   Again it



should be pointed out  that  the exhaust particles were being  transported  in



diluted exhaust at  roughly  100°F before collection and analysis.  Therefore,



the fate of  the particles  after tailpipe exit would  likely  be different in a

real-world  situation  in  which  they  would be  immediately  subjected  to  low



ambient temperatures.







SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS







     Sensitivity of exhaust emissions to ambient temperature was  examined from



a  1984  Oldsmobile Regency   Diesel  while  varying  fuel  and  driving  cycle



parameters.  Testing at ambient temperatures of 75°F,  50°F, and 20°F generally



had  little effect  on  emissions and  fuel  economy  for  any  of  the fuels  and



driving cycles examined.  However, effects  noted occurred  more  frequently and



to a greater extent with  the  lower quality  fuels.   Sensitivity to temperature



was  also  most  apparent  during  Phase   I  of the  UDDS,   which  represents  the



cold-start  and  warm-up  phase  of   engine  operation.    Hydrocarbon   and  CO



emissions tended to increase  with  decrease  in  ambient  temperature during  Phase



!, while  the  opposite  trend,  if any,  was observed  for  cycles  representing



hot-start or warmed-up engine operating  conditions.







     Conclusions specific to  the Oldsmobile tested  in  this  study  are follow:



     1.  Increase in NO  emission  with decrease in  ambient  temperature  was the



     only consistently significant temperature  effect  observed.



     2.   Hydrocarbon  and CO  emissions  increased at low  temperature during the



     cold-start Phase  I of the  UOOS with lower  quality  fuels,  but they showed



     either no change  or decreases  for other test phases and cycles simulating



     warmed-up engine  operation.



     3.    Particulate   matter   emission  rates  decreased   slightly   at   low



     temperature with  the low quality fuel.



     4.   Decreases in  fuel  economy at low ambient  temperature,  though  not



     significant in the HFET  and NYCC, were apparent in  Phase I  of the  UDDS's.
