Abstract

17

A novel measurement setup is designed, constructed, and validated by theoretical simulations and

18

by experiments enabling sensitive and loss-free brake particle emission investigations. With the

19

goal to simulate realistic driving, a three-hour subsection of the Los Angeles City Traffic (LACT)

20

cycle is selected as test cycle. The tests are performed with the front brake of a mid-size passenger

21

vehicle under both static laboratory and more dynamic realistic conditions that include parasitic drag

22

and vehicle brake temperatures (advanced vehicle simulations). A PM10 emission factor of around

23

4.6 mg km-1 brake-1 is determined. During five cycle runs the emission factor in terms of particle

24

number decreases by one order of magnitude. This decrease is accompanied by a shift of the

25

critical brake temperature Tcrit, at which ultrafine particle emissions occur, from 140°C to 170°C.

26

Investigations with advanced vehicle simulations generate brake temperatures below Tcrit and

27

consequently do not show ultrafine particle emissions above background level. A particle number

28

emission factor of approximately 4.9E10 km-1 brake-1 is estimated for realistic vehicle brake

29

temperatures. Particle formation during cruising is clearly identified. The brake drag is estimated to

30

contribute about 34 % to the total airborne particle mass emission.

Introduction

34

Brake wear particulate matter is identified as one of the contributors to non-exhaust particle

35

emissions in the transportation sector1. Especially in urban street canyons brake wear related PM10

36

contributes up to 21 % to the total traffic related PM10 emissions2. A fraction of about 35-55 % of

37

brake wear becomes airborne3-5 while the remaining fraction deposits either on the vehicle or at

38

road sites6. In the framework of UNECE-GRPE-PM program7, a measurement procedure for brake

39

wear particle emission is under discussion. The present paper demonstrates a concept for setup

40

design and test procedures.

41

In recent years, there has been a lot of effort in understanding the contribution of brake wear

42

particles to ambient particulate matter, for example by receptor modelling8. The occurrence of brake

43

wear particles is investigated through on-road5, 9-11 and laboratory measurements, which are further

44

divided into either pin-on-disc12, 13 or dynamometer4, 14-17 tests. The latter is having the advantage of

45

conducting tests in a reproducible manner, while preserving the brake as a full system: Test

46

procedures that include environmental conditions, drive cycles, and vehicle load (inertia), are easily

47

constrained. Although dynamometers are the basis for robust measurements, the methods of

48

sampling and measuring brake wear particles deviate widely. The fact that setups are either open14,

49

15

50

drawing aerosol samples deviate as well. For instance, non-isokinetic sampling leads to under- or

51

overestimation of particle concentrations18. Another crucial point is the drive cycle. Numerous

52

studies make use of an artificial set of brake stops from a set of speeds under constant

53

decelerations in order to investigate emissions at even more constrained conditions. However,

54

these procedures are not representative for realistic driving simulations. As investigations on

55

realistic driving and braking are rare19, they are subject of the present study.

56

The present paper presents a novel measurement setup that has been designed for brake emission

57

investigations, considering quantification of emissions, high reproducibility, and high signal

58

sensitivity. Results from realistic test cycles are presented in terms of cumulative emission factors

59

and particle number (PN) and particle mass (PM) for each brake stop. In parallel, a more realistic

or completely enhoused16 prevents emission quantifications. Furthermore, the techniques of

60

approach is established by simulating parasitic drag and realistic brake temperatures (later:

61

advanced vehicle simulations). In this context, the relevance of emissions during cruising caused by

62

brake drag is investigated. Although the effect has been reported qualitatively19, 20, hitherto its origin

63

and relevance remained unclear.

Measurement setup

66

A Link 3900 brake dynamometer has been used, where the brake is located inside a test room. The

67

air conditioning of the test room provided constant environmental conditions (pre-filtered air, 50 %

68

relative humidity, 30 °C temperature). Inside the test room the particle measurement setup was

69

installed as shown in figure 1.

The air flow direction is indicated by red arrows. (b) Virtual image viewing onto the brake (blue, caliper; silver, disc; the cover plates of the chamber and parts of the drive shaft (yellow) are not shown). The measurement devices are colored in light blue. At the sampling point the inner arrangement of probes and the experimentally determined air velocity profile is shown. Measurement devices are arranged as follows: APS (1), OPS (2), ELPI+ (3), DT (4), PM impactor (5).

At the end of the transport line a blower created a stable air flow of Qsetup=250±10 m³/h at negative

78

pressure, which was roughly equivalent to the air flow through the wheel rim (CFD: ~264 m³/h at 70

79

km/h). Directly in front of the blower a continuous flow measurement was performed using a Vortex

80

ultrasonic sensor (Höntzsch VA40) combined with a honeycomb flow straightener. For constant air

81

flow, the actual flow signal was used for feedback control of the blower. At the entrance of the

82

tubing (dtube=150 mm), an HEPA H13 filter was installed ensuring that only clean air was entering

83

the system. A completely sealed chamber (volume
