  2. Exhaust gas recirculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_gas_recirculation

    Unlike spark-ignition engines, diesel engines are not limited by the need for a contiguous flamefront. Furthermore, since diesels always operate with excess air, they benefit (in terms of reduced NO x output) from EGR rates as high as 50%. However, a 50% EGR rate is only suitable when the diesel engine is at idle, since this is when there is ...

  3. Diesel exhaust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_exhaust

    A diesel engine that operates below the smoke limit produces a visible exhaust. In modern motor vehicle diesel engines, this condition is generally avoided by burning the fuel in excess air even at full load. The primary products of petroleum fuel combustion in air are carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen.

  4. Diesel exhaust fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_exhaust_fluid

    Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF; also known as AUS 32 and sometimes marketed as AdBlue [3]) is a liquid used to reduce the amount of air pollution created by a diesel engine. Specifically, DEF is an aqueous urea solution made with 32.5% urea and 67.5% deionized water .

  5. Diesel engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_engine

    1952 Shell Oil film showing the development of the diesel engine from 1877. The diesel engine, named after the German engineer Rudolf Diesel, is an internal combustion engine in which ignition of diesel fuel is caused by the elevated temperature of the air in the cylinder due to mechanical compression; thus, the diesel engine is called a compression-ignition engine (CI engine).

  6. MAP sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAP_sensor

    Engine speed (RPM) is also used to determine where on a look up table to determine fuelling, hence speed-density (engine speed / air density). The MAP sensor can also be used in OBD II (on-board diagnostics) applications to test the EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valve for functionality, an application typical in OBD II equipped General Motors ...

  7. NOx adsorber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOx_adsorber

    A NO x adsorber is designed to reduce oxides of nitrogen emitted in the exhaust gas of a lean burn internal combustion engine.Lean burn engines, particularly diesels, present a special challenge to emission control system designers because of the relatively high levels of O 2 (atmospheric oxygen) in the exhaust gas.

  8. Volvo D5 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_D5_engine

    Volvo D5 engine D5244T15 (), in 2015 model year Volvo XC70It is an all-aluminium five-cylinder engine with 20 valves and double overhead camshafts.In all but one late version it has a VGT turbocharger of the type VNT (variable nozzle turbine), common rail direct injection and cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR).

  9. BlueTEC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlueTec

    BlueTEC is Mercedes-Benz Group's marketing name for engines equipped with advanced NO x reducing technology for vehicle emissions control in diesel-powered vehicles.The technology in BlueTec vehicles includes a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system that uses diesel exhaust fluid, and a system of NOx adsorbers the automaker calls DeNO x, which uses an oxidizing catalytic converter and ...
