Announcing  the  addition  of  a  Workshop  option  to  ICEF2016.    

Mitigating  Gasoline  Particulate  Emissions:    Challenges  and  Best  Practices  

 

   Impending  particulate  emissions  regulations  have  placed  emphasis  on  the  number  of  particles  emitted  from  gasoline  engines,  creating  an  imposing  challenge  for  manufacturers  who  utilize  direct  injection  combustion  strategies.   While   substantial   work   remains   in   the   in-­‐cylinder   prevention   of   gasoline   particulates,   the  immediate  need  remains  for  their  removal  from  current  exhaust  streams.  Filtration  of  gasoline  particulates  creates   unique   challenges   due   to   the   inherent   nature   of   spark   ignited   engine   operation.   This   workshop  outlines  and  addresses  the  fundamental  challenges  of  filtering  gasoline  particulates,  provides  best  practices  for  experimental  particulate  investigations,  introduces  the  audience  to  the  unique  challenges  of  physically  modeling  gasoline  particulate  filters  (GPFs),  and  speaks  toward  the  impact  of  particulate  filtration  on  engine  control.  The  workshop  will  culminate  with  a  real-­‐time  experimental  demonstration  on  a  fully  instrumented,  GPF   equipped   vehicle   on   the   Clemson   Automotive   Engineering   chassis   dynamometer.   Instrumentation  features  a  Cambustion  DMS500  Fast  Particle  Analyzer  (Cambustion  is  also  an  ICEF2016  Silver  Sponsor).    Workshop  Speakers:  Ameya  Joshi  –  Corning:  Manager,  Emerging  Technologies  and  Regulations  Dr.  Mark  Hoffman  –  Clemson  Automotive  Engineering,  Research  Assistant  Professor  Dr.  Simona  Onori  –  Clemson  Automotive  Engineering,  Assistant  Professor    Where:  The  Workshop  will  be  conducted  at  Clemson  University  –  International  Center  for  Automotive  Research  (CU-­‐ICAR).  Transportation  from  the  Hyatt  Regency  (conference  hotel)  to  CU-­‐ICAR  and  back  to  the  Hyatt  will  be  provided  to  Workshop  participants.      When:  The  Workshop  will  be  conducted  on  Wednesday,  October  12   from  8:30AM  –  12:00  Noon.  Transportation  busing  will  leave  the  Hyatt  Regency  at  8AM,  and  return  at  12:30PM.  Please  note  that  this  time  conflicts  with  the  GE  Gas  Turbine  Engineering  and  Advanced  Manufacturing  Works  Tour,  so  it  is  not  possible  to  do  both.    Attendance:  Because   of   limited   space   at   CU-­‐ICAR’s   chassis   dynamometer   facility,   attendance   will   be   limited   to   20  participants.  Participants  will  be  registered  on  a  first-­‐come,  first-­‐serve  basis.  Registration  for  this  Workshop  is  only  $50.  Please  register  by  contacting  registration  at  www.asme.org/events/icef/registration.  If  you  have  already  registered  and  paid  for  the  GE  Gas  Turbine  Engineering  and  Advanced  Manufacturing  Works  Tour  and  would  like  to  attend  this  Workshop  instead,  please  contact    asme@orchideventsolutions.com  or  888-­‐665-­‐1370  for  assistance.
