[Emission Characteristics of Light-Duty Gasoline Vehicle Exhaust Based on Acceleration Simulation Mode].

In this study, 127 light-duty gasoline cars and 10 light-duty gasoline trucks with different emission standards were selected to explore the influences of different conditions and vehicle parameters on the emission characteristics of carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), hydrocarbons (HC), and methane (CH4) using a portable emission measurement system based on a chassis dynamometer under acceleration simulation mode. The results showed that the gaseous pollutants of light-duty gasoline vehicles displayed a relatively lower emission rate under the idle condition, which accounted for only 22.9% and 25.8% of the emission rate at the accelerated condition and constant speed condition, respectively. The pollutant emission characteristics were closely related to the working conditions. The emission rates of CO2 and NOx in the accelerated condition were less than those at the constant speed condition, while the emission rates of CO, HC, and CH4 in the accelerated condition were higher than those at the constant speed condition. In the constant low-speed condition, the emission factors of CO2, CO, NOx, HC, and CH4 were 383.20, 2.98, 1.60, 0.14, and 0.03 g·km-1 for light-duty gasoline cars, respectively, and 360.66, 2.64, 1.61, 0.0055, and 0.0027 g·km-1 for light-duty gasoline trucks, respectively. Tighter emission standards have caused significant reductions in emissions. The emission factors of CO, NOx, HC, and CH4 could be decreased by 87.5%, 97.3%, 97.9%, and 86.4%, respectively, from China Ⅰ to China Ⅴ. A non-linear relationship was found between the age, odometer, vehicle weight, and vehicular emissions. In addition, the engine displacement was positively correlated with vehicular emissions.
