This paper evaluates the effectiveness and durability of a third<br />
generation experimental diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) system on<br />
the emissions of a 2,850kW EMD SD60M US EPA Tier 0 locomotive.<br />
The locomotive was originally manufactured in 1989, and the diesel<br />
engine was last overhauled and brought into EPA Tier 0 compliance<br />
in 2005. The DOC system was positioned in the pre-turbine exhaust<br />
flow. Locomotive Federal Test Procedure (FTP) testing was performed<br />
on the Union Pacific Railroad locomotive, before and after<br />
installation of the oxidation catalyst. The locomotive was then put<br />
into revenue service in California, and worked back to SwRI after<br />
completing six months and 14 months of service for additional<br />
emissions testing and DOC inspection. Two previous generations of<br />
this DOC technology were installed on this same locomotive,<br />
starting in May 2006. Initial test results showed that the V-CAT<br />
produced a 46% reduction in brake specific particulate matter (PM)<br />
over the locomotive line-haul duty-cycle, and 32% reduction over<br />
the switcher duty-cycle. Hydrocarbons (HC) and Carbon Monoxide<br />
(CO) were reduced by 57 and 78%, respectively, over the US EPA<br />
line-haul cycle, and 55 and 69% over the switcher cycle. Initial<br />
testing of the V-CAT also demonstrated minimal fuel penalty, with<br />
back-to-back testing of the locomotive with and without the V-CAT<br />
showing that brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) increased over<br />
the line-haul cycle by 0.5% and essentially no change over the switch<br />
cycle. Smoke opacity increased due to reduced engine breathing at<br />
Notch 6, but was well below Tier 0+ smoke limits. Testing at six and<br />
14 months showed no significant degradation in emissions<br />
performance or engine performance. V-CAT inspections at six and<br />
14 months revealed that there were no major durability issues. There<br />
were also no aftertreatment maintenance performed during the 14<br />
month demonstration. Based on the results of this test program, a<br />
DOC may be a viable tool for meeting Tier 0+ PM standards for<br />
various EMD locomotive models. Additional field operation of any<br />
“retrofit” DOC on EMD locomotives would likely be necessary to<br />
further validate the long-term reliability, as these locomotive engines<br />
are typically expected to operate for seven to ten years between<br />
overhauls.<br />
Wind Diesel Hybrid Systems - engines<br />
supporting wind power<br />
C. Dommermuth, J. Dorner, MAN Diesel & Turbo SE,<br />
Germany<br />
The environmental impacts of electricity production are attracting<br />
increasing attention. Environmental friendly and low CO 2<br />
electricity<br />
production methods are supported by worldwide policymakers as<br />
part of a strategy to stop climate change and ongoing pollution. This<br />
paper deals with an interesting opportunity especially for Internal<br />
Combustion engines (IC engines) to combine the multi-fuel highefficient<br />
power generation with IC engines and the environmentalfriendly<br />
power generation with CO 2<br />
neutral wind power in hybrid<br />
wind diesel solutions. No other energy generating solution has a<br />
stronger growth rate over the past 15 years than wind power - and<br />
no other prime mover technology has so much flexibility, high<br />
availability and reliability in electricity generating than an IC engine.<br />
In modern electricity grids, e.g. the European UCTE with a high<br />
share of fluctuating power installations like wind farms, a<br />
Transmission System Operator (TSO) takes care of transmitting<br />
electrical power from generation plants to regional or local electricity<br />
distribution operators.<br />
VOC energy recovery by gas turbine<br />
cogeneration<br />
Y. Yoshimura, S. Uji, IHI Corporation, Japan<br />
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are discharged during plant<br />
operation at manufacturing facilities for paints, chemicals, or plastic/<br />
resin, and can cause photochemical smog and pollution due to<br />
suspended particulate matter (SPM). In some cases several<br />
types of VOC, such as toluene and xylene, are necessary in the<br />
painting process, and there is much concern regarding disposal of<br />
VOCs after use. The waste gas containing large amounts of used<br />
VOCs must be treated by taking certain measures. In general,<br />
treatment of VOCs can be classified into two types: (1) recycling by<br />
activated carbon adsorption and (2) exothermic oxidation by<br />
combustion to render the compound harmless. Although exothermic<br />
oxidation (combustion) is occasionally used, regenerative thermal<br />
oxidation and catalytic oxidation have recently become the most<br />
popular methods in large-scale processing. Sufficient reduction of<br />
VOC emissions can be achieved using any of these methods, but<br />
there are some concerns about energy efficiency. In an attempt to<br />
resolve these issues, we have developed a new VOC abatement<br />
system in which the chemical energy of VOC is recovered as a partial<br />
fuel for gas turbine cogeneration. The use of this system may result<br />
in a reduction in carbon dioxide (CO 2<br />
) emissions and also a<br />
significant reduction in the operating cost of the entire VOC<br />
abatement system. In this paper, we explain the new VOC abatement<br />
system, which combines a steam-injected gas turbine with an<br />
adsorption apparatus using activated carbon.<br />
Application of an experimental EGR system<br />
to a 1,715kw EMD 12-645e3 locomotive<br />

This paper investigates the exhaust emissions and fuel consumption<br />
benefits of using exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), separate circuit<br />
aftercooler, and retarded injection timing on a 1,715kW Electro-<br />
Motive Diesel (EMD), two-cycle, 12-645E3 diesel engine, which is<br />
very popular in marine and locomotive applications in North<br />
America. The use of EGR, 4 degree static injection timing retard, and<br />
minimizing manifold temperature provided a US-EPA line-haul<br />
duty cycle brake specific Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emission reduction<br />
of 46% while demonstrating no increase in cycle brake specific fuel<br />
consumption (BSFC) when compared to the baseline test. The brake<br />
specific particulate matter emissions increased by only 7.5% over<br />
baseline levels. The same engine configuration offered a 50.6%<br />
reduction in NOx over the US-EPA switcher cycle and a simultaneous<br />
2.8% improvement in fuel consumption. The switcher cycle<br />
weighted PM increased by only 12.7.<br />
