Relevance and Objectives PM emissions from GDI engines are mandated to be reduced
‒ Current GDI engine-out emissions cannot meet future PM regulations (mass & number)
‒ Cold start and transient modes are recognized to produce high PM emissions
‒ New test procedures reflecting real life drives require robust PM reduction technologies
GPFs have been developed to meet stringent PM regulations‒ High PN efficiency & low pressure drop‒ Developing directions: “Add-on” GPF and “All-in-one” GPF
Corning, 2012 DEER Conference
“Add-on” GPF
“All-in-one” GPF

Ash impact could be more appreciable with GDI engines than with diesel engines‒ Ash impact on DPF performance has been well characterized by MIT
researchers. However, few reports on GPF performance with ash loading were disclosed.
‒ Backpressure increase and TWC functionality are of great interest.‒ Increased ash fraction was observed to enhance soot oxidation (ANL,
2014 AMR). Objectives
‒ Further validate ash enhancing effects on soot oxidation.‒ Understand filter performance in terms of pressure drop and filtration
efficiency, related with filter geometry and pore structure.‒ Evaluate impact of ash loading on TWC-coated GPFs, based on
backpressure increase, filtration efficiency and particle penetration with filter regeneration.

Zn) formulated by fuel doping Pore structures of filters were examined by X-ray tomography and mercury

High porosity filters have relatively big pores uniformly spread in filters Changes in total porosity were minor with catalyst coating, regardless of filter type. However,
MPD decreased significantly with catalyst coating for medium porosity filter. With catalyst coating, PSD became wider for medium porosity filter than for high porosity filters. High porosity filter lost porosity benefits with high catalyst coating (4X).

High porosity filters had low ΔP increase and slow increase in filtration efficiency up to the max point with soot loading.
High porosity filter (HP300/8) has comparable ΔP increase, mass & # filtration efficiencies with low (1X) and medium (2X) catalyst loadings.
For high porosity filter, lowest # filtration efficiency was obtained for 40 – 60 nm particles, which are smaller than what others observed (100 – 150 nm).
- Greenfield gap showing the most particle penetrating range tends to slightly shift to smaller size range with catalyst loading.

Ash induced continuous regeneration and suppressed particle penetration with pore plugging
Continuous regeneration was observed at an initial stage with ash loading.
- After soot burning at the initial stage, soot loading resumed
- No or very slow soot oxidation with no ash even at 600°C due to the extremely low O2 availability
Particle emissions were relatively high during continuous regeneration with no ash loading.
Right after fuel cut, particle penetration increased with pores opened, resulting from soot oxidation, when there was no ash loaded. With ash loading of 2 g/L, however, particle penetration was minor after fuel cut.

Responses to FY14 Reviewer Comments Ash effects were noteworthy, but they need more supportive data.
‒ As examined in this work, enhancement in soot oxidation with ash present is due to Ca additive that is the most abundant in engine oil.
‒ Continuous regeneration occurred at 600°C with ash loading without fuel cut. In comparison, soot oxidation is quite slow even at such a high T with very low O2availability when ash loading is negligible.
There need studies on fundamentals of PM formation in GDI engines. ‒ Based on this work as well as others, increased PM emissions from GDI engines
are directly related with delayed fuel vaporization and resultant fuel-air mixing problems. Although deeper investigation is out of scope, several operating strategies such as increased injection pressure and fast warm-up are shown to decrease soot emissions.
Integration with kinetics expertise is required‒ After more investigations on filter type, catalyst loading and filter position, kinetics
research is recommended for the future. Collaborations with research partners are not clear.
‒ Collaborations with other partners were not clearly defined (for instance, Tokyo Tech and workshop hosting). Clear roles of research partners are listed in the following page.

CollaborationsCollaborating Partners Corning Incorporated
– Provided 8 different filter substrates including most advanced GPF filter substrates
– Had several technical meetings for future directions– Performed MIP of uncatalyzed and catalyzed filters
Hyundai Motor Company– Provided a 2.4 production GDI engine and open ECU for full control– Gave technical advice of GPF research direction and provided catalyst coating
services for GPF substrates based on current state-of-the-art coating technologyOther Internal and Outside Partners University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
– Performed XPS analysis University of Illinois at Chicago
– Xiao Fu (Ph.D. student) helped to analyze X-ray tomography as a guest graduate User Facilities at Argonne (Advanced Photon Source & Center for
Nanoscale Materials)– X-ray microtomography, TEM, Raman, FTIR and SEM
19
Remaining challenges and barriers Accelerated ash loading needs more investigation for qualification.- Rarely examined in GDI engines- Will be compared with aged filters from field tests Long-term TWC functionality in TWC-coated GPF has not much
known with ash loading.- Ash loading challenges maintaining TWC performance as well as
backpressure increase over time - Development of ash-durable catalyst and filter systems may be required Development of cost-effective and durable GPF system is
complicated.- “Add-on” GPF vs “All-in-one” GPF - “All-in-one” GPF has cost benefit over “Add-on” GPF, but the former could
be more vulnerable toward catalyst poisoning and backpressure increase
20
Future Work (to the end of FY15)
Mechanisms of enhanced soot oxidation in the presence of Ca additive
Long-term aging tests with catalyzed filters– High-porosity catalyzed filters (HP 300/8 & 200/12)– Targeted ash loading: 30g/L– Aging effects: pressure drop, filter regeneration and TWC performance
Advancing X-ray micro-tomography and SEM analysis– 3-D image analyses of uncatalyzed, catalyzed and aged filters– Post-Mortem analysis: ash loading in filters
21
Summary Enhancement in soot oxidation by ash is due mainly to Ca additive that is a
major component in engine oil additives. The newly-built in-line GPF system with an engine oil injection system enabled
“TWC-coated GPF” tests with ash loading, in which TWC performance, pressure drop and soot oxidation performance are measured.
High porosity filter had relatively minor changes in pore structure with catalyst coating, resulted in minor impact on ΔP, filtration efficiencies, in comparison with medium porosity filter.
- However, high catalyst loading (100g/L) sacrificed high porosity benefits.- Greenfield gap was observed to be in small particle range of 40 - 60 nm in
mobility diameter. Ash loading had significant impacts on ΔP and filtration efficiency.- Shorter depth filtration duration and increased mass & number filtration
efficiencies.- Continuous regeneration occurred spontaneously at high T with ash loading.- Ash loading helped suppress particle penetration after soot oxidation. While continuous regeneration was interfered even at 600°C with extremely
low O2, fuel cut conditions induced continuous regeneration.
