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 />

engine<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 />
