Abstract
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">During cold start of natural gas engines, increased methane and formaldehyde emissions can be released due to flame quenching on cold cylinder walls, misfiring and the catalyst not being fully active at low temperatures. Euro 6 legislation does not regulate methane and formaldehyde emissions. New limits for these two pollutants have been proposed by CLOVE consortium for Euro 7 scenarios. These proposals indicate tougher requirements for aftertreatment systems of natural gas engines.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">In the present study, a zero-dimensional model for real-time engine-out emission prediction for transient engine cold start is presented. The model incorporates the stochastic reactor model for spark ignition engines and tabulated chemistry. The tabulated chemistry approach allows to account for the physical and chemical properties of natural gas fuels in detail by using a-priori generated laminar flame speed and combustion chemistry look-up tables. The turbulence-chemistry interaction within the combustion chamber is predicted using a K-k turbulence model. The optimum turbulence model parameters are trained by matching the experimental cylinder pressure and engine-out emissions of nine steady-state operating points.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">Subsequently, the trained engine model is applied for predicting engine-out emissions of a WLTP passenger car engine cold start. The predicted engine-out emissions comprise nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, unburnt methane, formaldehyde, and hydrogen. The simulation results are validated by comparing to transient engine measurements at different ambient temperatures (-7°C, 0°C, 8°C and 20°C). Additionally, the sensitivity of engine-out emissions towards air-fuel-ratio (λ=1.0 and λ=1.3) and natural gas quality (H-Gas and L-Gas) is investigated.</div></div>
