Abstract

See full text

A method of controlling emissions in the exhaust gas of a diesel engine, the engine having one or more combustion cylinders that each generates a combustion jet having a soot region. A water injector is operable to inject a spray of water or aqueous solution into the combustion jet, specifically toward the area of highest soot concentration. This water injection is timed to occur at or immediately before the combustion phase in which the soot reaches its greatest concentration. The size and shape of the spray are such that the majority of the spray reaches the area of greatest soot concentration.
