Developing of Particulate Matter Filtering System for Motorcycle by Reusing Engine Thermal Energy Emission

Vehicle particulate matter emission in terms of PM_0.1 and PM_2.5 have significantly increased their role in morbidity and mortality. In this research, we have developed a new method for particle matter filtering system to reduce the particulate concentration by optimizing the released combustion energy in the exhaust system. We reused the released energy to reduce particle emission by placing a metal net made of different materials such as aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and nickel in the compartment of the exhaust system. The system generated a radiation energy used to reduce particle concentration. The filter efficiency depended on the filter net material. The filter net made of aluminum gave the highest efficiency in reducing particle emissions. The efficiency reached 55% for the PM_2.5 and 46% for PM_0.1.
