Abstract


The paper presents experimental determinations that highlight the substantial reduction of smoke in the exhaust gases for a car with diesel engine with pollution norme Euro 4 in the case of using OMV MaxxMotion diesel and Super Diesel additive from Liqui Moly. For the load determinations when running on a horizontal road (by simulation on the chassis dynamometer V-Tech Dyno VT-2/B1), in case of using diesel with CN55 and Super Diesel additive from Liqui Moly, was found a smoke reduction of up to almost 50%, the larger reductions being at speeds above 110 km/h, which indicates a substantial reduction in smoke when running in extra-urban mode. At the same time, only the superior quality of diesel with cetane number 55 compared to that with cetane number 51, led to a better combustion, so that the smoke emission was reduced by up to 33% at high speeds, this reduction being quite important up to 27% for lower speeds below 90 km/h.
