Abstract

The natural processes of interactions between aerosol particles in the ambient air through which they agglomerate is a vast area of chamber research and are inherent to many industries and are often inter-connected with transport engineering. Further improvement of symmetric methods for aerosol particle number and mass concentration reduction made it possible to create various synergic techniques. The study used a 1.9 TDI diesel internal combustion engine, which was supplied with diesel (D100) and second-generation biofuels (NExBTL100) with the EGR exhaust system on and off. Measurements were performed using a Bruel and Kjær “Type 9727” system for measurement of vibrations, a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) and an original agglomeration chamber. The three modes of particle size distributions were observed in the size range from 10 to 470 nm for both D100 and NExBTL100 fuels with and without the use of the EGR system. The application of 21.3 kHz frequency sound with SPL 144.1 dB changed the NExBTL100 generated aerosol particle number concentration but did not sufficiently affect the concentration of D100 emitted particles. The greatest agglomeration effect (21.7 ± 10.0%) was observed in the range of extremely small NExBTL100 derived particles (10–70 nm) when used in combination with an EGR system.
