F{\"u}r einen st{\"o}rungsfreien Betrieb eines Motors mit Raps{\"o}lkraftstoff sind jedoch Modifikationen an Motorkomponenten und Motorsteuerger{\"a}t notwendig, um eine effiziente Verbrennung im Motor zu erreichen. Ziel des Vorhabens ist die Erarbeitung von Grundlagen zur Auslegung der Motorsteuerung pflanzen{\"o}ltauglicher Offroad-Motoren mit moderner Abgasnachbehandlung mit anschließender entsprechender Abstimmung der Motorapplikation am Pr{\"u}fstand. Grundlegende Untersuchungen der physikalischen Prozessabl{\"a}ufe von R100 bei der Einspritzung werden an einem hydraulischen Druckanstiegsanalysator (HDA) und einer Hochdruck-Hochtemperatur-Kammer (HDHT-Kammer) durchgef{\"u}hrt. Unterschiede im Z{\"u}nd- und Brennverhalten werden in einer Konstantvolumenbrennkammer untersucht. Abschließend werden die Erkenntnisse am Motorenpr{\"u}fstand auf einen DEUTZ-Motor {\"u}bertragen, dessen Einspritzsystem auch bei den grundlegenden Untersuchungen verwendet wurde. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das Einspritzverhalten von R100 eine h{\"o}here Sensitivit{\"a}t gegen{\"u}ber Kraftstofftemperaturvariationen aufweist als Dieselkraftstoff. Bei niedrigen raftstofftemperaturen sind mit R100 ein l{\"a}ngerer {\"O}ffnungsverzug und eine geringere Einspritzmenge festzustellen. Um diesen Einfluss bei der Einspritzstrategie zu kompensieren, ist die Kenntnis der Kraftstofftemperatur im Injektor notwendig. Eine weitere Herausforderung stellt die Gemischaufbereitung dar, hier f{\"u}hren unter anderem die h{\"o}here Viskosit{\"a}t und h{\"o}here Siedetemperaturen von R100 zu einem schm{\"a}leren Spritzwinkel und verz{\"o}gerter Verdampfung im Vergleich zum Dieselkraftstoff. Eine Erh{\"o}hung des Einspritzdrucks und h{\"o}here Temperaturen und Dr{\"u}cke in der Brennkammer verbessern die Gemischaufbereitung. Bei Bedingungen von mittlerer und hoher Last ist der Z{\"u}ndverzug von R100 k{\"u}rzer und das Verbrennungsverhalten {\"a}hnlich zum Dieselkraftstoff. Eine geringere W{\"a}rmefreisetzung von R100 wird durch den geringeren Heizwert verursacht. Unter Bedingungen von niedriger Last und Motorstart ist ein l{\"a}ngerer Z{\"u}ndverzug von R100 im Vergleich zum Dieselkraftstoff festzustellen. Eine Steigerung des Einspritzdrucks und h{\"o}here Brennkammerdr{\"u}cke und -temperaturen f{\"u}hren bei beiden Kraftstoffen zu k{\"u}rzeren Z{\"u}ndverz{\"u}gen, der Einfluss dieser Parameter ist jedoch f{\"u}r R100 st{\"a}rker als f{\"u}r Dieselkraftstoff. Voreinspritzungen f{\"u}hren bei beiden Kraftstoffen zu einer Verk{\"u}rzung des Z{\"u}ndverzugs der Haupteinspritzung und zu einer geringeren W{\"a}rmefreisetzungsrate. Am Motorpr{\"u}fstand ist bei gleicher Motorapplikation mit R100 eine geringere Leistung als mit Dieselkraftstoff festzustellen. Nach Angleichung der Motorleistung durch Anhebung der Einspritzmenge von R100 sind im Rohabgas Stickstoffoxid (NOX)- und Kohlenstoffmonoxidemissionen auf gleichem Niveau zu Dieselkraftstoff zu beobachten sowie geringere Partikelemissionen. Unter Verwendung eines DoE Vorgehens kann der Partikel-NOX - trade-off von R100 optimiert und Einstellparameter gefunden werden, in denen sowohl niedrigere NOX als auch niedrigere Partikelemissionen im Vergleich zum Dieselkraftstoff resultieren. Das installierte Abgasnachbehandlungssystem, bestehend aus einem Dieseloxidationskatalysator (DOC), Dieselpartikelfilter (DPF) und selektivem katalytischem Reduktionssystem (SCR), arbeitet f{\"u}r beide Kraftstoffe {\"a}hnlich und es scheint keine Anpassung der Dosierungsstrategie der w{\"a}ssrigen Harnstoffl{\"o}sung notwendig zu sein. Eine Regeneration des Partikelfilters mit R100 war nach Optimierung der Einstellparameter der Drosselklappe m{\"o}glich. Motorkaltstart und Leerlauf sind herausfordernde Betriebsphasen, die f{\"u}r R100 einer weiteren Optimierung bed{\"u}rfen. Eine Temperierung von R100 im Injektor auf 50-60 °C sowie eine Kompensation der Einspritzmenge in Abh{\"a}ngigkeit von der Kraftstofftemperatur sind m{\"o}gliche Verbesserungsmaßnahmen. Zudem kann durch einen fr{\"u}heren Einspritzbeginn von R100 das Verbrennungsverhalten angepasst werden. Die Motorpr{\"u}fstandsuntersuchungen best{\"a}tigen qualitativ die Erkenntnisse die mit dem hydraulischen Druckanstiegsanalysator (HDA), der Hochdruck-Hochtemperatur-Kammer (HDHT-Kammer) und der Konstantvolumenbrennkammer gewonnen wurden. Weitere Untersuchungen sind notwendig, um die Ergebnisse auf einen baugleichen, in einer mobilen Arbeitsmaschine eingebauten Motor zu transferieren, damit Informationen zur Dauerhaltbarkeit unter realen Bedingungen erhalten werden k{\"o}nnen. Weiterf{\"u}hrende Forschungsarbeiten sind im Bereich der Betriebsphasen des Motorkaltstarts und Leerlaufs mit Raps{\"o}lkraftstoff n{\"o}tig, um einen dauerhaft st{\"o}rungsfreien Betrieb in diesen Betriebsphasen zu erreichen.

Sources for these tones are for example the vehicles' drivetrains but also other technical components. Depending on the driving conditions, due to the interaction of various dominant sources, audible tone complexes can occur. Similar to musical intervals, the different frequency ratios within these complexes can result in consonant or dissonant sensations. The strength of this sensation does not only depend on the frequency relation of the tones but also on their relative levels. In this study, different musical intervals were subjectively rated in terms of their specific consonant or dissonant character. Using an adaptive procedure, sound pairs, each consisting of a two-tone signal, where adjusted to equal dissonance by varying the level of the second tone of one of the two-tone signals. Using the same paradigm, also pairs of equal vehicle sound quality were obtained. With these results, it is possible to quantify dissonance, and theinfluence of dissonance on sound quality expressed in terms of level differences of two-tone signals. These results can help to make the concept of dissonance more useful for sound-engineering applications.}, language = {en} } @article{BraunGebhardMatysiketal., author = {Braun, Peter and Gebhard, J{\"u}rgen and Matysik, Frank-Michael and Rabl, Hans-Peter}, title = {Potential Technical Approaches for Improving Low-Temperature NOx Conversion of Exhaust Aftertreatment Systems}, series = {Chemie Ingenieur Technik}, volume = {90}, journal = {Chemie Ingenieur Technik}, number = {6}, publisher = {WILEY-VCH}, doi = {10.1002/cite.201700122}, pages = {762 -- 773}, abstract = {Lean-burn engines, such as diesel engines, are widely used in mobile and stationary applications.

The increasing precision of mechatronic components generally leads to an increase in structural excitation and thus to a rise in noise. The so-called ticking of the fuel injection system has a rather low sound pressure level compared to the residual engine noise. Nevertheless, the impulsive and high frequency noise character leads to a decline concerning the perception of comfort and sound quality. In order to identify the sound quality of fuel injection systems as a frontloading measure, a system test bench has been developed which represents the structure-borne and airborne sound radiation of the stand-alone injection system in a close to series configuration. In this paper, measures for the acoustic optimization of injection systems and their effects on the robustness of the system are discussed. The focus is on engine idling, since at this operating point the ticking of the injectors and high-pressure pump can be perceived most clearly due to the low masking effects of other noise sources. For this purpose, the injection parameters were measured during full engine operation and transferred to the system test bench. By using a special development control unit, it was possible to modify the parameters, quantify their influence on the acoustic behavior and, based on this, define NVH optimized control strategies. For the robustness evaluation of the NVH optimized control strategies, key functions of the injection system were analyzed under varying boundary conditions in system operation on an injection rate test bench.}, language = {en} } @incollection{WalterSchwanzerHagenetal., author = {Walter, Stefanie and Schwanzer, Peter and Hagen, Gunter and Haft, Gerhard and Dietrich, Markus and Rabl, Hans-Peter and Moos, Ralf}, title = {Hochfrequenzsensorik zur direkten Beladungserkennung von Benzinpartikelfiltern}, series = {Automobil-Sensorik 3}, booktitle = {Automobil-Sensorik 3}, editor = {Tille, Thomas}, publisher = {Springer Vieweg}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-662-61259-0}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-662-61260-6_7}, pages = {185 -- 208}, abstract = {In Folge der Versch{\"a}rfung der gesetzlichen Abgasnormen wurden f{\"u}r direkt-einspritzende Benzinmotoren Partikelfilter notwendig.

The current amount of soot and ash in the filter is calculated by a soot load model in the electronic control unit in combination with a differential pressure sensor determining the pressure drop over the particulate filter. Active regeneration is initiated if the calculated amount of soot or the measured differential pressure is too high. This is associated with additional fuel consumption. An on-board diagnosis for the particulate filter is currently not part of the Euro 6d emission standard. For future exhaust emission standards, on-board diagnosis or active monitoring of the particulate filter is conceivable. One of the benefits of monitoring is the fact that unnecessary active regenerations can be avoided. As a result, there is no additional fuel consumption due to misinterpretations of the amount of soot in the filter. For active monitoring of the particulate filter, a radiofrequency (RF-) sensor, that detects the soot loading of the filter with electromagnetic waves directly, can be used. Such a system has the advantage that by utilizing the filter as a sensor more precise information about the current state of the filter, e.g. a possible damage, can be provided. Worst-case considerations of filter damages, tested at an engine test bench show the advantages which are entailed by a system like that. By means of partial regeneration of the particulate filter it is demonstrated how the remaining amount of soot in the filter can be detected in a better way in comparison to the differential pressure sensor by using the RF-sensor.}, language = {en} } @article{BraunRablMatysik, author = {Braun, Peter and Rabl, Hans-Peter and Matysik, Frank-Michael}, title = {Investigations on the Liquid-Phase Decomposition of AdBlue Urea for the Selective Catalytic Reduction Process}, series = {Chemie Ingenieur Technik}, volume = {91}, journal = {Chemie Ingenieur Technik}, number = {7}, publisher = {Wiley}, doi = {10.1002/cite.201800055}, pages = {961 -- 968}, abstract = {Difficulties in decomposing AdBlue to ammonia limit the applicability of selective catalytic reduction systems at low exhaust temperatures.

In addition to the particulates resulting from the combustion of the fuel, the oil emissions represent another possible source for particulate emissions. This paper presents a measurement method which can be used to quantify stationary as well as dynamic oil emissions of gasoline engines. Furthermore, the correlation between the oil emissions and the particulate emissions is the focus of the investigations. Conventional methods for the determination of the oil emissions, such as the gravimetric and the volumetric measurement, are unsuitable since they require long engine operation times to provide useful results. These methods therefore do not allow a fast online measurements during the dynamic operation. For this reason, a new measuring method was used, which allows for a time-resolved online measurement of the oil emissions. This measurement method is based on the sulfur tracer method, which uses the sulfur that is naturally contained in the engine oil as a tracer. The sulfur concentration in the exhaust gas is determined by using an Ion-Molecule-Reaction mass spectrometer. The determination of the particulate emissions corresponds to the PMP regulation. The studies carried out under steady state and dynamic conditions show a clear correlation between the oil consumption and the number of particulates in the exhaust gas. In the case of the dynamic measurements it could also be shown that time-resolved measurements of the oil consumption are possible with the used measurement setup. In addition, it was shown that the number of particulates does not influence the measurement of the SO2-concentration. Furthermore, the different effects of burned and unburned oil emissions have been evaluated by the dosing of the oil into the exhaust gas. The overall conclusion of the measurements shows a strong influence of the oil emissions on the particulate emissions. Therefore, it is crucial to reduce the oil emissions. Possible approaches for this reduction can be improved turbocharger sealing concepts, new piston ring designs or more efficient oil separators for the crankcase ventilation system.}, language = {en} } @article{GaertnerRablZink, author = {G{\"a}rtner, Uwe and Rabl, Hans-Peter and Zink, Uwe}, title = {Exhaust Gas Aftertreatment of the Future}, series = {MTZ worldwide}, volume = {79}, journal = {MTZ worldwide}, number = {7-8}, publisher = {Springer}, doi = {10.1007/s38313-018-0060-2}, pages = {70 -- 75}, language = {en} } @article{KuepperArtmannPischingeretal., author = {K{\"u}pper, Carsten and Artmann, Christina and Pischinger, Stefan and Rabl, Hans-Peter}, title = {Lube-Oil Dilution of Gasoline Direct-Injection Engines with Ethanol Fuels}, series = {MTZ worldwide}, volume = {74}, journal = {MTZ worldwide}, number = {9}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, doi = {10.1007/s38313-013-0090-8}, pages = {64 -- 69}, language = {en} } @article{SchwanzerRablLodersetal., author = {Schwanzer, Peter and Rabl, Hans-Peter and Loders, S. and Seifert, P. and Himmelstoss, S. and Gaderer, Matthias}, title = {Difference in the Tailpipe Particle Number by Consideration of Sub-23-nm Particles for Different Injection Settings of a GDI Engine}, series = {Emission control science and technology}, volume = {5}, journal = {Emission control science and technology}, number = {1}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, doi = {10.1007/s40825-019-0114-1}, pages = {7 -- 22}, abstract = {The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristic of nanoparticles under consideration of sub-23-nm particles from a 1.8-l direct injection (DI) gasoline engine under stoichiometric air/fuel conditions in the exhaust gas system. For future CO2 challenges, the usage of DI-instead of port fuel injection (PFI)-gasoline engines is unavoidable. Therefore, a state of the art particle management program-particle number (PN) system, the Horiba SPCS (2100) with an integrated CPC (condensation particle counter), was recalibrated from a 50\% cutoff (D-50\%) at 23 nm down to a cutoff at 10 nm and the PCRF (particle concentration reduction factor) for sizes smaller than 23 nm was checked. Two different modal points, out of a representative Real Driving Emission (RDE) cycle, were investigated with both calibrations, D-50\%=10 nm and D-50\%=23 nm. For these different load points, the fuel pressure (FUP) and the start of injection (SOI) were varied, to represent the difference in the structure and the ratio conc((10 nm))/conc((23 nm)) of the nanoparticle emissions. The particle characterization includes the particle number (PN), the particle size distribution (PSD), and the particle mass (PM). The particle number was measured with Horiba SPCS (2100). The particle size distribution was analyzed with a Grimm differential mobility analyzer (DMA) in combination with a Faraday cup electrometer (FCE). Micro Soot and Pegasor were used to determine the PM, and an optical characterization was done with a 120-kV Phillips CM12 transmission electron microscope (TEM). The position of all particle measurement systems was downstream the three-way catalyst (TWC). The results of this investigation showed that a higher injection pressure decreases the PN (without consideration of sub-23-nm particles) in general. The ratio conc((10 nm))/conc((23 nm)) was therefore higher, because smaller particles, especially ash particles, were less reduced from the FUP. This means higher FUP tends to a higher ratio. For the SOI, the main reasons of the ratio differences were explained by an encroachment between the injection jet and the piston, the valve and the wall.}, language = {en} } @misc{AltmannRablGaderer, author = {Altmann, Robert and Rabl, Hans-Peter and Gaderer, Matthias}, title = {Ph{\"a}nomenologische Untersuchung des Einspritzverhaltens von Pflanzen{\"o}lkraftstoff}, series = {3.
