Impact of a Commercially Available Low Carbon Renewable Diesel Fuel on the Light-Off and Light-Down Characteristics of a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst.

ABSTRACT: Meeting future greenhouse gas emissions targets in transportation may require transition in part to renewable low carbon fuels to power the medium- and heavy-duty sectors. At this moment, market renewable low carbon diesel fuels are available and integrated with the fueling infrastructure in select areas. Though this is encouraging, little is known about the impact these renewable diesel fuels may have on modern aftertreatment systems and their ability to convert toxic emissions. This work explores the impact of a renewable hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) diesel fuel on catalyst light-off and light-down of a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) with a production diesel engine over ramp rates reflective of real-world operation. Hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions were investigat
