...D. Gould; D. P. Gardiner; M. LaViolette; W. D. Allan This paper describes experimental research aimed at developing an on-board smoke sensor for diesel engines. The sensor element was similar to a conventional spark plug. Electrical heating of the insulator was used to prevent carbon fouling from...

... electronic control, and can vary the percentage of water in the mixture on a cycle-resolved basis. Tests of this system were conducted on a production Volvo D-12 engine, and have produced reduced N O x and smoke emissions over steady-state and transient conditions. Water-diesel coinjection yielded...
