Abstract
Biodiesel is a promising clean and alternative fuel that can meet the demand of energy saving and environmental protection. In this study, the effects of biodiesel blends on the gaseous and particulate emission characteristics of China-III, IV, and V urban buses were investigated based on a heavy chassis dynamometer. The results showed that the biodiesel blend resulted in a reduction in CO, THC, PN, and PM emission but an increase in the NOx and CO2 emission, and the effects were enhanced with the biodiesel ratio, which also depended on the bus speed. Simultaneously, the emission standards of buses had an obvious effect on the emissions and changed the effect of biodiesel on the emissions. A higher emission standard of the bus highlighted the effect of biodiesel on the emission. From China-III to China-IV to China-V buses, the comprehensive changes produced by B5 in the emissions increased from 5.57 to 6.78 to 6.83%, while for B10, a significant increase in the changes was obtained, reaching 12.98, 14.68, and 15.02%, respectively, for the three emission stage buses.
