Ethanol / 2-Stroke Scooter / Project NL / AFHB 09 3 1. SUMMARY Exhaust emissions measurements of a small motorbike Kreidler 2-S, 50cc with gasoline-ethanol blend fuels have been performed in the present work according to the measuring procedures, which were established in the previous research in the Swiss Scooter Network. The investigated fuels contained ethanol (E), or hydrous ethanol (EH) in the portion of 5, 10 and 15% by volume. The investigated motorbike represented an older (1976) 2-stroke technology with carburettor, without catalyst and with blending the lube oil to the fuel. Since there is a special concern about the particle emissions of the small engines, the particle mass and nanoparticle measurements were systematically performed. The nanoparticulate emissions were measured by means of SMPS (CPC) and NanoMet * ). The most important results are: addition of ethanol to the gasoline provokes a leaner tuning of the engine operation, influence of the leaning effect by means of ethanol depends very much on the basic original tuning, for the investigated older 2-S motorbike the rich basic tuning enabled a satisfactory driveability with E15 and EH15, the leaning effect of ethanol blend fuels enabled reduction of CO, HC, particle mass and nanoparticles, there are little differences of results between the blends with pure ethanol (E), or hydrous ethanol (EH), nevertheless in some cases the hydrous ethanol shows further advantages concerning emissions and fuels consumption. The present investigations did not concern the durability of parts exposed to the chemical influences of ethanol. Also the cold startability, particularly in extreme conditions and the lube oil dilution were not addressed. * ) Nanoparticulates measurement methods see Annex, chap. 10, abbreviations see chap. 11

Ethanol / 2-Stroke Scooter / Project NL / AFHB 09 4 2. INTRODUCTION Laboratories for IC-Engines and Exhaust Emission Control (AFHB) of the University of Applied Sciences, Biel, Switzerland are involved since 2000 in several research projects about emission factors and possibilities of reduction of (nano)particle emissions of 2-wheelers. A special attention was paid to the 2-stroke scooters, which have much higher partikel emission, than the 4-strokers. In an international network project several topics were investigated, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,14] and the combinations of technical measures to lower the particle emissions of scooters confirmed the expected effects and showed considerable reduction potentials. These technical measures were: o Higher tier lube oils o Lower oil dosing o Active oxidation catalyst o Supplementary filtration & oxidation devise (WFC). o Special fuel. The special fuel used in those tests was Alkylat Aspen gasoline with a uniform HC-matrix (mostly isooctane) and no aromats. The idea of using ethanol blends was known, but not applied before in the research of scooters. Ethanol is used for passenger cars since a long date (Brazil). In the last years, due to the increasing prices of crude oil, there is a growing interest for ethanol. Several countries have objectives to substitute a part of the energy of traffic by the renewable energy. On the other hand there are interferences with the prices of food in certain regions. Some manufacturers offer FFV (flex fuel vehicles), which is particularly challenging for high ethanol content (E85) in countries, like Sweden with colder climatic conditions. There are several technical problems to resolve to guarantee the long live operation of the 4-S car engine with E85, [7, 8, 9, 10, 11]: - adaptation of engine construction in regard to a changed thermal stress of combustion chamber parts, - adaptation of spark plugs and injectors, - fuel injection system, - wear of valves, pistons, rings and liners, - polymer materials and sealings, - crankcase ventilation and oil dilution, - software of engine ECU, new or flexible parameter settings. Small portions of ethanol E5 are generally accepted for the vehicle fleets without any adaptations. Very useful information about handling of gasoline-ethanol blends up to 10% v/v is given in the CONCAWE report No. 3/08, see annex A1, [12]. The objectives of the present work are to investigate the limited and the unregulated emissions of a typical older type 2-stroke motorbike 50 cc with different ethanol blend fuels. There will be also comparison of two different ethanol fuels: pure ethanol (E) and hydrous ethanol (EH) which contains 3.9% water and is denaturised with 1.5% gasoline. The vehicle is with carburator and without catalyst, which represents the most frequent technology in Eastern Asia and offers the information of engine-out emissions. The lubrication is performed by blending the lube oil (2%) to the fuel. During the test a systematical analysis of particle mass (PM) and nanoparticles counts (NP) will be performed.

Ethanol / 2-Stroke Scooter / Project NL / AFHB 09 5 This work is an extention of the investigations from [13], where the hydrous ethanol was investigated only on a newer type 2-S scooter with leaner tuning and with lube oil injection in the engine intake air. 3. INVESTIGATED 2-WHEELER The research of emissions was performed with an older type 2-stroke motorbike Kreidler Florett RS (lube oil directly mixed with the fuel). Fig. 1 shows the vehicle and Table 1 represents the most important data.

Ethanol / 2-Stroke Scooter / Project NL / AFHB 09 6 3.1. Fuels As a basic fuel a standard gasoline, lead-free, RON 95, Swiss market quality was used. At the beginning of network projects about the particle emissions of 2-S scooters a big charge of this gasoline was purchased to perform all research with the same fuel. The sulphur content of this gasoline was analysed and no sulphur was found (detection limit < 2 ppm). The investigated fuel blends contained ethanol (E), or hydrous ethanol (EH) in the portions of 5, 10 and 15% by volume. Pure ethanol is C 2 H 5 OH and the hydrous ethanol contains: 94.56% vol ethanol, 3.94% vol water and 1.5% gasoline. The most important parameters of the used fuels are summarized in the Table 2. Gasoline Ethanol C 2 H 5 OH E5 E10 E15 EH5 EH10 EH15 density [g/cm 3 ] 0.737 0.789 0.740 0.742 0.745 0.740 0.743 0.746 stoichiometric air / fuel ratio lower calorific value [-] 14.6 9.0 14.30 14.00 13.71 14.28 13.96 13.64 [MJ/kg] 43.0 26.8 42.1 41.3 40.4 42.1 41.1 40.2 *) boiling point [ C] 30-200 78.5 *) Research Octane Nbr. *) latent heat of evaporation [-] 95 111 [kj/kg] 420 845 Table 2: Parameters of used fuels. *) according to [9] It can be seen, that with increasing the ethanol ratio the stoichiometric air requirement of the blendfuel decreases. That means by an approximately equal air flow rate the air-fuel-mixture will be leaner. Furthermore there is less heat value in ethanol. The fix boiling point and the high latent heat of evaporation of ethanol may cause serious problems of cold starting. 3.2. Lube oil The used lube oil was according to the requirements of vehicle manufacturer: fully synthetic oil Motorex Nbr. 4, [14], 2% blend.

LQ1-DC) MD19 tunable minidiluter (Matter Eng. MD19-2E) A detailed description of those systems is given in annex A2. The sampling and measuring set-up during the tests shows Fig. 2. The sampling was at tail pipe, without thermoconditioner. The nanoparticulates measurements were performed at stationary and at transient engine operation. 5. RESEARCH PROCEDURES The investigations with each variant of fuel were performed according to the same procedure: 5 min conditioning at full load legal test cycle - for Kreidler with unlimited speed ECE 40, constant speed 40 km/h - first 5 min conditioning at full load - second 5 min conditioning at 40km/h - further 10 min measurements of PSD s with SMPS - last 3 min last scan SMPS. The driving resistances of the test bench were set according to the Swiss exhaust gas legislation, see annex A3.

Ethanol / 2-Stroke Scooter / Project NL / AFHB 09 9 The driving cycle is represented in Fig. 3. Driving cycle ECE 40, warm speed [km/h] 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 ECE 40 Ph 1 Ph 2 Kreidler Florett 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 time [s] Fig. 3: Driving cycle used for the investigated vehicle. The driving cycles, which were really performed on the chassis dynamometer were measured and the characteristic parameters (v m, a m, etc.) of those cycles were evaluated. This allows to consider the differences between the desired (conducting) and the realised (real) driving cycle. These differences can be particularly significant for the low-power vehicles (here with fuel with lower heat values), which cannot always follow the conducting (desired) driving cycle. The characteristic parameters of the realised driving cycles for the investigated vehicle and all measuring series are given in annex A4. The vehicle has enough power and can follow without problem the conducting cycle. There are experiences from previous research that in the first period of work with ethanol blend there are washing out effects of residues from engine and exhaust system, which have impact on the measured (nano) particle emissions. Therefore the sequence of measuring series was set as follows: Base fuel BF, after: approx. 45 min mixte operation with E25 without measurements, after: E15, E10, E5, EH15, EH10, EH5 and repetition of BF. 6. RESULTS The results are represented graphically in the figures, see chap. 9 and are tabulated in annexes A5, A6 & A7. In following the results are shortly discussed according to the performed tests and in the sequence of testing.

Ethanol / 2-Stroke Scooter / Project NL / AFHB 09 10 Before, during and after tests the mixture tuning was controlled at idling, (annex A7). There were following values: before tests CO idl. 4.36 % n = 1630 rpm after tests CO idl. 5.97 % n = 1750 rpm The tuning of engine mixture is very rich and there is almost no possibility to change it. Fig. 4 shows the plots of exhaust gas temperature measured 30 cm after tailpipe in the driving cycles with all fuels. There is a general tendency of cooling down after previous conditioning (5 min full load) and there are principally no differences between the fuels. Fig. 5 shows the time-plots of CPC summary particle counts (10-400 nm) in the driving cycles with all fuels. The numeric average values of last 4 cycles are given. Comparing these values between gasoline and ethanol, or between E and EH no tendencies can be remarked. Fig. 6 shows the time-plots of NanoMet signals in the driving cycle ECE40. The NanoMet signals of PAS and DC are converted to the values responding to the undiluted volume concentrations in the exhaust gas. PAS (photoelectric aerosol sensor) is sensitive to the surface of particulates and to the chemical properties of the surface. It indicates the solid carbonaceous particles. DC (diffusion charging sensor) measures the total particle surface independent of the chemical properties. It indicates the solids and the condensates. Very often by the 2-S exhaust aerosol the solids are enveloped by the condensates (SOF) and are not detected by PAS. In this case of a very rich tuning PAS values are present. The total aerosol surfes DC indicates all particles and correlates usually very well with the particle mass PM. Regarding the integral average values from the last 4 cycles it can be remarked, that the DCvalues for all E/EH-blends are slightly lower, than for BF, but there is no clear influence of blendratio, or hydrous ethanol (EH). The PAS-values are slightly lower with EH, than with E and get the lowest values with the highest blend ratio E15 and EH15. In the present case of rich tuning ethanol helps to lower the production of solid carbonaceous nanoparticles in the combustion chamber. Hydrous has in this regard a little bit stronger effect thanks to the presence of water. The DC-values, which represent the total condensates, increase during the ECE40-cycle. This is caused by the decreasing exhaust temperature (Fig. 4). Fig. 7 shows the decreasing exhaust temperatures in the measuring period at constant speed 40km/h. The conditioning 5 min 40km/h after the full load was not long enough to cool down the exhaust system to the thermal level of the constant speed. This has some advantage to see the SMPS PSD spectra at different exhaust temperatures (see Fig. 10). Fig. 8 shows the NanoMet results during the measuring period at ν = const. There are similar tendencies, like in the driving cycles ECE40 (Fig. 6): there are no differences of DC last minute integral values with all E/EH blends, with hydrous ethanol (EH) there are clearly lower PAS-values. Fig. 9 represents the SMPS PSD-spectra and integral NP-emissions with all fuels at constant speed v = 40 km/h.

Ethanol / 2-Stroke Scooter / Project NL / AFHB 09 11 The measurements with SMPS were started after the driving cycles and after 5 min conditioning at the same constant speed (see Procedures, chap. 5). Nevertheless the indicated PSD-spectra were not well repetitive mostly due to the changing exhaust temperature. It was decided to perform two types of representation: with average of 3 samples (Fig. 9.1) and with the last 3 rd sample only (Fig. 9.2). This second variant, which represents the last 2.5 minutes of the v = constant period can be assumed, as minimizing the differences of thermal state of engine and exhaust system. The interpretation of different PSD-spectra is possible, but it leads often to open questions, which could be addressed with further research. Much more useful and practical is the look on integrated values. In the bottom of the figures there are integrated DC-signals over the last 10 min of constant speed and integrated NP-count concentrations over the particle sizes in the SMPS measuring range [10-400 nm]. It can be stated, that with increasing share of ethanol the summary surface of NP s (DC) decreases. DC decreases also with addition of water. The same is valid for the PM (total particle mass) and for integrated NP-counts. It can be said, that for the rich tuning ethanol helps to oxidize the particles (according to the increased blend ratio). The application of hydrous ethanol (EH) increases slightly this tendency. Fig. 9-3 represents the PSD s for 3 rd sample in logarithmic scale and a comparison between the two types of evaluation: average of 3 scans or 3 rd scan only. The principal influences and indicated relationships with both methods are the same. The 3 rd scan only represents higher NP-values due to the lower exhaust gas temperature. Fig. 10 gives an overview of all PSD s as 3 scans (Fig. 10.1), or the last scan only (Fig. 10.2). It is visible, that with the falling exhaust gas temperature the PSD moves to bigger sizes and higher count concentrations. Fig. 11 gives an overview of all limited and unlimited emission components at constant speed and in the driving cycles. Regarding CO, HC and NO x following effects are visible: - leaning of mixture by increasing ethanol portion, - increasing the combustion peak temperatures and NO x formation with increasing ethanol portion and strengthening of these effects with hydrous ethanol, (moving from low Lambda, very rich towards Lambda 1, less rich). According to the driver there was no problem of driveability with the highest ethanol share E15, or EH15. The volumetric fuel consumption is reduced due to the leaning of mixture and increased efficiency with the ethanol blend fuels. There is in particular an advantage of EH15, over E15. Particle mass PM and particle counts generally decrease with the ethanol fuels, with some tendencies of more decrease for hydrous ethanol. Figures 12 & 13 summarize the average values and the differences of tailpipe temperatures between beginning and end of measurements at ECE 40 (Fig. 12) and v = 40 km/h (Fig. 13). There is a general tendency of higher Δt with E & EH blend fuels. This is caused by the fact, that due to a slightly retarded combustion the E/EH fuels attain higher t exh during the conditioning at full load and after that a higher temperature drop during cool down phase. The maximum speeds, Fig. 14, show very little differences, but some advantages of hydrous ethanol.

Ethanol / 2-Stroke Scooter / Project NL / AFHB 09 12 7. CONCLUSIONS After the research of emissions of a 2-S small motorbike Kreidler 50 cc, carburettor, no catalyst, following conclusions can be pointed out: The original tuning of the mixture preparation and dosing is influenced by the ethanol containing fuels in the sense of leaner operation. This caused by this quite rich tuned motorbike advantages in regard of emissions and fuel consumption. Regarding the legally limited components CO, HC and NO x following effects are visible: - leaning of mixture by increasing ethanol portion, - increasing the combustion peak temperatures and NOx formation with increasing ethanol portion and strengthening of these effects with hydrous ethanol, The volumetric fuel consumption is reduced due to the leaning of mixture and increased efficiency with the ethanol blend fuels. Particle mass PM and particle counts generally decrease with the ethanol fuels, with some tendencies of more decrease for hydrous ethanol. Comparing these results with the previous results from [13] with a relatively lean tuned modern scooter (with lube oil injection in the intake air) it can be stated that: The basic tuning of the engine is a very important factor, which decided if and how big ethanol shares are advantageous. By the rich tuning the emissions and fuel consumption are generally improved due to the leaning effects of ethanol. By the lean basic tuning the further leaning by means of ethanol can cause disadvantages due to the increased irregularities of engine operation approaching the lean limit. At rich operation, when ethanol brings advantages the hydrous ethanol is also advantageous, it increases the effects of ethanol and yields in some cases further improvements of emissions and fuel consumption. 8.
