Abstract

The current study investigates the influence of hot and cold start on the emissions of a non-road diesel engine with an after-treatment system. The emissions were studied by experimental measurements on an engine during non-road transient operating conditions. These results indicate that the emissions of cold start are much higher than that of the hot start. The conversion efficiency of particular matter (PM) is only 33%, which is 31% lower than that of the hot start. Besides, the conversion efficiency of PM is weak under the cold start, and high exhaust flow, and the phenomenon of blow-off is prone to happen. The conversion efficiencies of NOx, HC, and CO are 86%, 79% and 63%, respectively, which differs from the hot-start conversion efficiency by 10%–16%. And their differences are mainly reflected in the early stage (0–600 s). Overall, the exhaust temperature and flow are important factors that affect the conversion efficiency of the after-treatment system, and the specific process was discussed in this paper. These provide enlightenment/direction for the emission reduction of non-road diesel engines.
