• help AT light-off and reduce engine-out NOx until that time• EGR modifications, multiple injections, intake throttling, elevated idle speed

• Release controls to baseline calibration after AT light-offi t i f l d GHG

lower NH3 storage capacity• higher tendency towards ammonia oxidation• more demand on downstream SCR catalyst

• Early cycle tailpipe performance still maintained but later there is more NH3 release to downstream catalyst

downstream catalyst• small increase in late cycle NO generation due to larger amount of NH3 to be oxidized

Final GHG ResultsCycle Measured CO2 and N2O Emissions

Overall CO2 / Fuel Consumption Impact • WHTC very similar to FTP• Slight increase for Final Aged

(about 0 3%) due to backpressure(about 0.3%) due to backpressure and slightly higher MB fueling to reach temperature thresholds

• CO2 impact on FTP driven by low f b dtemperatures from turbocompound

• different GHG approach would require less thermal management

SAE INTERNATIONAL 30

• Impact could be reduced via better packaging and integration

Summary (1)

• Multiple technology approaches to reach ultra-low NOXlevels• appropriate choice depends on engine and GHG

approach• For this turbocompound engine, 0.02 g/hp-hr was very p g , g p y

challenging• Development aged parts < 0.02 g/hp-hr• Final aged parts > 0 02 g/hp-hrFinal aged parts > 0.02 g/hp-hr• system complexity and GHG impact higher due to very

low temperaturesQ ti till di d bilit• Questions still open regarding durability• Final aging issues make it difficult to assess system

degradation

Summary (2)

• NOX performance gap between regulatory and vocational cycles is smaller with ULN engine than baseline engine• this is driven to some degree by calibration approach

• Significant potential for low NO levels on vocational• Significant potential for low NOX levels on vocational and field cycles• BUT more work needs to be done to examine potential p

NOX reduction and GHG impact

• This effort is part of a larger body of work regarding low NOX• The current demonstration is designated as Stage 1

• Additional Efforts are In Progress or Planned to address questions from Stage 1questions from Stage 1

• Stage 1b – Aging and Testing of another set of Stage 1 g g g g gparts (planned)• answer durability questions with an undisturbed aging

• Stage 2 – Low Load NOX Control using Stage 1 engine (In Progress)

D l L L d d t l fil f hi l d t• Develop Low Load duty cycle profiles from vehicle data• Develop low load calibrations/approaches for the Stage 1

engineg• Examine different “load” metrics for low load cycles

• Stage 3 – Low NOX Development and Demonstration on a non-turbocompound engine (Planned)• Engine platform more representative of mainstream

approach to GHG regulations• Combination of both regulatory and low load cycles
