Abstract
The catalytic converter is used to reduce the emission from the vehicles. Long run reduces the efficiency of the catalytic converter. Pollution is increasing due to the increase in the number of cars. The cars emit harmful gases. These gases are affecting human beings and the environment in different ways. CO, HC, SOx, NOx, and PM 2.5 are harmful emission present in the exhaust emission. A new novel device is introduced in this research to reduce diesel engine emissions. The device uses a freezer gel pack, carbon black, and alkali solution (NH4OH), in association with the catalytic convertor. For performing the experiments, an experimental setup is fabricated. For measuring the emission, AVL DIGAS 444 Automobile Exhaust Gas Analyzer is using a probe. NOx is reducing by 63%, CO2 by 70%, and PM2.5 by 99% with the use of the proposed novel system.
