Abstract

Electrical agglomeration as a pretreatment means can reduce the exhaust particle number concentration of diesel engine. The charge of particle is an important factor affecting the coagulation process. Therefore, an experiment was carried out to study the charging characteristic of diesel particles. Zeta potential for diesel particle was used to represent the charged state and the charge of particles could be calculated according to the value of Zeta potential. Influences of various factors on the charge of particle were investigated by changing the charged voltage, internal temperature of charging zone, and the load of engine. Experimental results show that the increase of charged voltage can improve the charge and the absolute value of diesel particles. With increase of charging zone temperature, corona inception voltage declines and the charge of particle increases. The load of engine has a positive effect on the charge of particles which reaches its peak at full load.
