Abstract
IMO has pushed out strict regulations to limit marine diesel engine emissions. EGR is a mature measure to reduce NOx emissions which would lead PM emissions risen. In this paper, An EGR system combined with a scrubber was built on a marine diesel engine. Based on the experimental platform, the characteristics of PM emissions were studied when the engine burning two kinds of sulfur diesel oils. The results showed that the particle size concentration curves show multimodal distribution and the average particle sizes increased. Most of the PM emissions were distributed in the nuclear mode interval. Moreover, EGR scrubber had a significant effect on removing PM with an efficiency of over 98% and the weighted value of PM emissions was 22.136 mg / kWh, which met China’s first and second-stage emission regulations and US EPA Tier 4 emission regulations.
