Knock prevention and increase of reliability and efficiency of high power gaseous internal combustion engines (Project Knocky, Horizon 2020).

United Kingdom

• Project leader/ coordinator for various research projects in combustion technologies, emission characterization & after treatment novel application. projects’ topics:
• Alternative fuels impact on combustion performance and gas/solid emissions. Special focus regarding soot physico-chemical characteristics.
• Manipulating diesel exhaust composition through in-cylinder fuel post-injection strategies combined with minute hydrogen (H2) addition to improve the low temperature De-NOx activity of base-metal catalysts.
• Soot destruction in the after-treatment system with/without the presence of H2 for better understanding of the critical parameters that should be accounted in the future diesel particulate filter design.
• Duel fuel combustion (methane + diesel/gasoline) to meet Euro VI with the minimal penalties possible.
• Testing of novel methane oxi-catalyst for lean (diesel) and stochiometric (gasoline) conditions.
