In the following investigation, a submerged-type Wet Soot Absorber (WSA) is studied and its capability on reducing the soot emission level of a four cylinder, direct injection (DI) diesel engine is evaluated. The WSA can provide a large contact area between water and exhaust flow which increases the soot capturing probability. Hence, the system would be more compact and suitable for vehicle engines applications. The ECE-R49 standard test is followed to assess the effect of the WSA on the engine performance and soot emission. The experiments revealed that the best soot removal efficiency of 70% is attained in the full-load engine operating conditions due to the high momentum of exhaust gas flow entering to the chamber of the unit which can provide more flow penetration into the water. Also, further bubble break-up in high gas velocity results in a larger liquid-gas interface and contributes to better soot removal. The minor negative effects of utilizing the WSA on the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) is also compared with those of conventional DPFs and the aspects of WSA advantages are discussed.
