Study on Emission Characteristics and Emission Reduction Effect for Construction Machinery under Actual Operating Conditions Using a Portable Emission Measurement System (Pems)

With the acceleration of urban construction, the pollutant emission of non-road mobile machinery such as construction machinery is becoming more and more prominent. In this paper, a portable emissions measurement system (PEMS) tested the emissions of eight different types of construction machinery under actual operating conditions and was used for idling, walking, and working under the different emission reduction techniques. The results showed that the pollutant emission of construction machinery is affected by the pollutant contribution of working conditions. According to different emission reduction techniques, the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) can reduce carbon monoxide (CO) by 41.6-94.8% and hydrocarbon (HC) by 92.7-95.1%, catalytic diesel particulate filter (CDPF) can reduce particulate matter (PM) by 87.1-99.5%, and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) using urea as a reducing agent can reduce nitrogen oxides (NO x ) by 60.3% to 80.5%. Copper-based SCR is better than vanadium-based SCR in NO x reduction. In addition, the study found that when the enhanced 3DOC + CDPF emission reduction technique is used on forklifts, DOC has a "low-temperature saturation effect", which will reduce the emission reduction effect of CO and THC. The use of Burner + DOC + CDPF emission reduction techniques and fuel injection heating process will increase CO's emission factors by 3.2-3.5 and 4.4-6.7 times compared with the actual operating conditions
