The Texas Diesel Fuels Project, Part 4: Fuel Consumption, Emissions, and Cost-Effectiveness of an Ultra-Low-Sulfur Diesel Fuel Compared to Conventional Diesel Fuels

Combustion, emissions, and calibration for diesel engine system design

“…The effects of diesel fuels on emissions are reported by Den Ouden et al (1994), Singal and Pundir (1996), Nylund et al (1997), Boesel et al (2003), Matthews et al (2005), Kono et al (2005), Hara et al (2006), Zannis et al (2008), Fanick (2008), Nanjundaswamy et al (2009), andHochhauser (2009). The sulfur impact on diesel emissions control is reviewed by Corro (2002).…”

The analytical design process and diesel engine system design

“…They concluded that the fuel tested (Lubrizol's PuriNO x ) is a relatively high cost strategy for NO x reduction, and it will become much less cost-effective in reducing NO x emissions as the fleet replaces the older engines with new, cleaner electronically-controlled engines. Matthews et al (2005) evaluated the effects of an ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel on emissions, fuel economy and maintenance cost, and they also calculated the cost-effectiveness in terms of dollars of cost penalty per ton of NO x removed.…”
