On the Scale-Up of Uneven DBD Reactor on Removal of Diesel Particulate Matter

The scale-up of an uneven type of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor driven by a positive–negative pulse power supply for the removal of particulate matter (PM) from a diesel engine has been carried out. The scale of the uneven DBD reactor was changed by using three kinds of reactors consisting of 20, 30, or 50 pairs of uneven alumina and stainless steel plates. In this study, relations of energy injection into the above DBD reactors, PM removals, PM removal efficiencies with pair numbers have been investigated. The parameters in the kinetic model used to describe the PM removal are given.
