It focuses on fuels with varying propane and butane ratios, providing new insights into the influence of the composition of Liquefied Petroleum Gas on catalyst activity and tailpipe emissions. Representative conditions from the world Harmonized Transient Cycle were selected to comprehensively assess engine emissions and catalyst performance. Experiments under constant and variable lambda conditions tested the catalyst's response concerning raw emissions, exhaust temperature, and space velocity, all variables affected by engine operation. Key findings indicate that catalyst performance is not significantly affected by Liquefied Petroleum Gas composition. Under constant lambda conditions, the catalyst achieved high conversion efficiency of carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides, especially under rich conditions (lambda = 0.990). However, rich conditions can lead to elevated ammonia levels, although nitrous oxide generation remains low in all circumstances. Implementing lambda pulse strategies reduced ammonia formation to around 25 mg/kWh, ensuring high catalyst conversion efficiency for all pollutant species after optimizing the amplitude and frequency of the pulses to establish the balance of reducing-oxidizing species and oxygen storage for each operation mode. Crucially, Liquefied Petroleum Gas composition was determined to be non-critical for the catalyst in these engines, promoting the use of this fuel in retrofitted engines and promoting for a shift towards cleaner transportation.This research has been supported by Grant PID 2020-114289RB-I00 funded by the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion, Agencia Estatal de Investigacion (MCIN/AEI/10.13039/5011000 11033) .ElsevierDepartamento de Máquinas y Motores TérmicosEscuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeroespacial y Diseño IndustrialInstituto Universitario de Investigación CMT - Clean Mobility & ThermofluidsEscuela Politécnica Superior de AlcoyAgencia Estatal de InvestigaciónRepositorio Institucional de la Universitat Politècnica de València Riunet20242024-01-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://riunet.upv.es/handle/10251/204970reponame:RiuNet.
