Abstract:
Conventional engine test-cycles usually do not represent real driving emissions. Due to their relevance for human health and their effect on climate change, determination of real driving emissions by portable emission measurement systems (PEMS) becomes increasingly important. The purpose of this work is to measure real world gaseous and particulate emission components of diesel and vegetable oil fuel operated mobile agricultural machinery with PEMS. Variation and comparison of machine work types as well as operating conditions will show the range of fluctuation and are basis for optimisation processes. Additionally, this work will support the development of propulsion systems that are more efficient and have lower impacts on air quality and climate change. First results show that real driving emissions of tractors fulfill related proposed limits easily. The results however, have to be verified within ongoing measurements.
