Study of Brake Wear Particle Emissions of a Minivan on a Chassis Dynamometer
Emission control science and technology(2018)
Abstract
Car brakes appear to be a significant atmospheric pollutant source, with a contribution to total non-exhaust traffic-related PM 10 emissions being estimated at approximately 55% in big cities and urban environments (Bukowiecki et al., 2009 ). Brake wear particle emissions of a minivan running on a chassis dynamometer were measured using a custom sampling system, positioned close to the braking system, under different initial speeds (30 km/h and 50 km/h), deceleration rates (0.5 m/s 2 , 1.5 m/s 2 , 2.5 m/s 2 ), and ambient temperatures (0 °C, 15 °C and 25 °C). Braking from 50 km/h to full stop, results in 40–100% more particles compared to 30 km/h, depending on the deceleration rate. It was also found that only 9–50% of the total particles emitted, are released during the braking phase and therefore the most significant amount is released on the following acceleration phase. High brake pad temperature results in a bimodal distribution with the first peak being at 1 μm and the second falling at the nanometer scale at 200 nm. The ambient temperature appears to have a negligible effect on the particle generation.
