EFFECT OF TiO2/Al2O3 CATALYST COATING ON CATALYTIC CONVERTER WITH ETHANOL DIESEL BLEND IN SINGLE CYLINDER FOUR STROKE VCR ENGINE
Abstract
This paper presents effect of ceramics material on a new catalytic converter to be used for diesel fuelled engine with 10% of ethanol blend in addition of 1% of Diethyl Ether. The catalytic converter was developed based on catalyst materials consisting of metal oxides such as titanium dioxide (TiO2) and Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) with ceramics substrate. In this study experimentally found that the TiO2/Al2O3 based catalytic converter are reduce 12%, 23.46%, 19%, 35% and 77.9% for NOx, CO, HC, CO2 and smoke emissions effectively reduce. It is calculated that the TiO2/Al2O3 based catalytic converter with ethanol 10% in addition of DEE 1% reduces 15%, 52.8%, 39%, 40% and 81.7% higher NOx, CO, HC, CO2 and smoke emissions in comparison to diesel and ethanol. The objective of this paper is to develop a low-cost three way catalytic converter to be used with the newly developed ceramic catalytic converter. Detailed review onceramic coated catalytic converter and emission test results have been presented with discussions.
