• NOx decreases with IVC as
well as intake pressure increase
since intake air acts as a diluent
• PM decreases with IVC by
equivalence ratio increasing, and
the necessary temperatures for
oxidation are met

PM
• NOx decreases with lower in-cylinder
temperatures, while PM increases due to
less available oxygen to oxidize soot
• Late IVC (i.e. 60°BTDC) is capable
of suppressing combustion

PM (g/kW-hr)
• Average decrease of 50% in PM emissions
by using 2007 ULSD over pre-2007 #2 diesel
fuel
• Although enough oxygen is being entrained
into the cylinder, the soot increases after a
certain IVC timing since the combustion
temperatures drop below necessary oxidizing
temperatures

• NOx decreased by factor of 2.5
solely through late IVC
• 2010 NTE NOx and PM levels
met through lowering temperature
and increasing equivalence ratio
through use of late IVC timing
