Fouling has limited the evolution of compact heat exchangers (represented by EGR cooler)
to smaller and more efficient sizes, an important reason is the unclear mechanism of the …

In recent years, open-cell metal foam has gained attention for utilization for exhaust gas
recirculation coolers due to its large surface area and porous structure. Theoretically, the …

A novel one-step flame synthesis method was used to coat carbon nanotubes (CNTs) onto
plain weave S-glass fibre (GF) fabrics. Nickel chloride, as a catalyst, was applied on the GF …

Based on the self-established experiment and test platform and evaluation system, we
studied the effects of hydrocarbon condensation on mass, hydrophilicity, color, and …

Stringent new automobile emission standards have prompted extended the use of exhaust
gas recirculation (EGR) systems in additional areas of engine maps, resulting in the …

Cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is widely used in diesel engines to control engine
out NOx (oxides of nitrogen) emissions. A portion of the exhaust gases is recirculated into …

The objective of this research is to shed some light into the asymptotic behavior of fouling
process in EGR coolers based on a theoretical hypothesis that is verified experimentally …

Cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is widely used in diesel engines to control engine
out NO x (oxides of nitrogen) emissions. A portion of the exhaust gases is re-circulated into …

Recent diesel engine technologies, developed for enhanced regulation of exhaust
emissions, are characterized by high exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rates and high …

Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler fouling occurs when particulate matter (PM) and
hydrocarbons (HC) in diesel exhaust form a deposit on the walls of the EGR cooler through …
