Abstract. With the surging emissions standards for cars and strict and the application of advanced emission control technology, the influence of fuel quality on vehicle emissions is increasingly important. As a result, automobile, petrochemical industry in the United States, Japan, Europe and other countries and regions have cooperated on the research on the car, engine and fuel system. Key technical indicators of fuel limit corresponding to gradual enhancement of the vehicle emission regulations are put forward. With the issue of country's III and IV phase vehicle emission standards, fuel specifications that meet the discharge standard should be established.
Effect of gas composition and properties on vehicle performance and emissionsGasoline is mainly composed of three types of hydrocarbons, namely olefin, alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons. Because gasoline itself contains a certain amount of sulfur in crude oil, sulfur generally can't be completely removed during the gasoline refining, so it will contain a certain amount of sulfur in gasoline.
Effect of the sulfur content in gasoline on vehicle emissionsThe sulfur in the gasoline can obviously reduce the efficiency of the catalysts in the catalytic converters. Sulfur can also adverse effects on the high temperature exhaust gas oxygen sensor.[1] To reduce sulfur content in fuel oil can directly reduce the emissions of vehicles with catalytic conversion device significantly. Impact of the sulfur on the vehicle emissions of pollutants has been researched with extensive experiments.
Effect of the benzene content in gasoline on vehicle emissionsBenzene naturally occur in the crude oil composition, it is also catalytic reforming products, a high octane number gasoline components. It is also known a carcinogen.Benzene content controlling of gasoline is the most direct limit from the evaporate emission and effective method to vent of benzene emissions. Studies have shown that the benzene content in gasoline with exhaust gas of benzene emissions is produced by linear relationship, benzene emissions also have very high contribution to gasoline aromatic compounds. Many countries law makers have realized controlling benzene content in gasoline is an effective method to reduce benzene harm to mankind.
Effects of gasoline volatile on vehicleReasonable volatile is critical for gasoline engine work in both performance and emissions. Gasoline volatile can be determined by vapor pressure and distillation range.Gasoline vapor pressure should be controlled according to the season, make different temperatures have different volatile. At high temperature, it is necessary to control the vapor pressure strictly to avoid problems at high temperature, such as gas resistance or canister overload. Control of high temperature vapor pressure is also important to reduce evaporate emission. To warm machine starting smoothly and get good machine performance, a high vapor pressure is needed at low temperature. Proper reduce of the vapor pressure of gasoline can reduce the HC emissions and CO ...
