Abstract


Pollution control problem in urban areas and especially in transport active zones is a complex task. Automotive sector, combined with airline transport and other sources of combustion exhaust gases are some of the main risk factors regarding pollution issue. A significant parameter is the level or the actual value of disposed materials and gases, especially particulate matter into the environment, from car exhaust systems and other transportation means. Specific operations such as lubricant and filters replacements, as well as the fuel filters and residual fuels, generate particulate matter and thus it is influenced the pollution of the environment. The actual contribution of the work to the state-of-the-art is the virtual model and its practical validation for particle filter in alternative application to automotive field. By selecting waste flammable fluids and components, during technical revisions of every car, it was possible to implement the proposed protocol in order to recover residual energy and to control particulate matter emissions. First it was modeled and then it was conducted the validation of our concept. The goal of the present study is to create an alternative model for particle filter application, showing research protocol and its optimal placement. Particulate emissions are higher for fuels with greater density than those with lower density. An important factor is combustion prerequisite.
