Abstract:Within the framework of the European Artemis project, the emissions of unregulated compounds were measured on new technology passenger cars. A sample of passenger cars was tested on a chassis dynamometer with constant volume sampling (CVS). The measurement of unregulated compounds comprised about 100 different VOC in the C 2 -C 6 and C 7 -C 15 range and carbonyl compounds. The sampling of these compounds was made using sorbent tubes followed by analysis with chromatography technology in liquid and gas phases.The influence of cold and warm starting conditions on the VOC composition was determined.The emission factors were determined and compared for either gasoline or diesel vehicles.The influence of the technology was evaluated and a first approach to understand the effect of recent technology on the ozone formation was developed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
