An innovative total diesel emission control system for diesel particulate and NOx simultaneous reduction is proposed. In this system, the plasma reactor is located outside the emission exhaust pipe and activated gas induced from ozone activated by the plasma is injected into the exhaust pipe. On the other hand, the NOx reduction is achieved using oxygen-poor nonthermal plasma desorption. The concentration of oxygen can be changed either by controlling the incineration state of the engine or by injecting oxygen-poor gas. Experiments are carried out for the emission of small diesel engine generator and high performance is demonstrated. The effective or apparent required plasma energy can be decreased further using this system because of the periodic or intermittent application of the plasma. In the present study, the excellent reduction energy efficiencies of 6.6 g/kWh for PM and 16 g (NO2)/kWh for NOx are achieved.
