Introduction
Next to buying house for most people the personal vehicle for mobility is major investment maintaining vehicles will help to protect the environment from automobile emission, pollution and get better fuel economy. Mono pole magnetic device and remote sensing technology help to prevent and control the pollution from vehicle emissions.
Emission Control By Mono Pole Magnetic Device
Mono polo magnetic devices reduce the level of noxious gases in exhaust fumes of vehicles. In addition the device is claimed to improve mileage by about 20%. The device can be easily mounted on vehicles and other engines by clipping it around the fuel pipe line.
The device magnetizes the fuel coming through the fuel line and prepares it for better combustion. As a result, the petrol or diesel crossing the device is polarized (that is, the molecules of the fuel are aligned along a particular direction). This improves the combustion characteristic of the fuel and reduces the amount of noxious gases in the exhaust.
This device is tested in a number of petrol driven cars, diesel engines, scooters, and motorbikes in collaboration with a few research labs transport operators and vehicles owners, say that the carbon monoxide (CO) level is reduced almost to zero in the vehicles. It claims a substantial reduction in hydro carbon emission in all the vehicles tested.

The Problem
Nitrogen oxides are one of the main pollutants emitted by vehicle engines. Once they enter into the atmosphere, they are spread over a large area by the wind. When it rains, water then combines with the nitrogen oxides to form acid rain. This has been known to damage buildings and have an adverse effect on ecological systems.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation
The most effective means of tackling nitrogen oxides is to use Exhaust Gas Recirculation [EGR]. This technique directs some of the exhaust gases back into the intake of the engine. These gases have already been used by the engine and no longer contain much oxygen. By mixing the exhaust gases with fresh air, the amount of oxygen entering the engine is reduced. Since there is less oxygen to react with, fewer nitrogen oxides are formed. This can greatly reduce the amount of nitrogen oxides that a vehicle releases into the atmosphere.
EGR THEORY OF OPERATION:
The purpose of EGR system is to precisely regulate EGR flow under different operating conditions, and to override flow under condition which would comprise good engine performance. The precise amount of exhaust gas which must be mattered into the intake manifold varies significantly as engine load changes. This result in the egr operating system on a very fine line between good NOx control and good engine performance.
If too much exhaust gas is meterd, engine performance will suffer. If too much little EGR flows, the engine may knock and will not meet strict emission standards. The theoretical volume of recirculated exhaust gas is referred to as EGR ratio. As the accompanying graph shows, the EGR ratio increases as engine loading increases.
Remote sensing technology
The purpose or remote sensing device (RSD) technology is to measure pollutant levels in a vehicle's exhaust while the vehicle is traveling down the road. Unlike the conventional methods, the remote sensing devices are not physically connected to the vehicle but can be located conveniently at the roadside so that the device can virtually "see" the passing vehicles in a single lane.
The RSD systems can measure hydrocarbons (HC) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) emission in the exhaust stream. Commercial RSD systems employ an infrared absorption principle to measure these pollutions. These systems operate by continuously shooting a beam of infrared radiations across a roadway. As a vehicle passes the roadway intercepting the beam, the device measures the ratio in the exhaust plume behind. Taking the first measurement as the baseline, the device calculates the vehicle's CO and HC emissions rate by comparing the second measurement to the expected ratio for ideal combustion.
The whole system is computerized with software loaded to perform combustion calculations. RSD systems are also developed to measure nitrogen oxides (NO). But a beam of ultraviolet light or light from a tunnel diode laser is needed to be projected to cross the roadway. RSD systems employ a freeze-frame video camera and equipment to digitize an image of the license plate number, so that the appropriate authorities can then identify the owners of the vehicle when the readings are beyond the passable range.
Methods to measure the speed and acceleration would enhance the utility of the device. Since these modes significantly affects the readings.
Onboard Diagnostics
Onboard computers control many of the engines control systems, such as fuel and ignition. Auto industries have to develop ways to diagnose problems generated by the new electronics hardware found under the bonnet of the vehicle. This was the original of the OBD systems, which assure proper emission control systems operation for the vehicle's lifetime by monitoring emission-related components and systems for deterioration and malfunction.

The fuel saving is in contrast to the use of catalytic converter which reduces mileage and pickup. But the new magnetic device also reduces knocking at slower than normal speeds enabling smooth travel. Above all the device is being sold at a lower price to the catalytic converter.
The continued use of monopole device would clean the fuel injector and jet and inverse the mileage and reduce the need to be - carbonize the engine. The life of the magnet is about 20 years.
Advantages of the device:
It improves mileage and pickup
Its cost is low compared with catalytic converter
The new magnetic device reduces knocking at normal speeds enabling smooth travel.
Today's vehicles are largely controlled electronically. Sensors and actuators sense the operation of specific components and actuate the signals to perform needed feed - back adjustments to components like fuel injectors to maintain optimal engine control. On-board computer known as engine control unit or power train control module controls all the systems. With proper software, the onboard computer is capable of monitoring all the sensors and Actuators and determining whether they are working as intended. It can also detect a malfunction or deterioration of the sensors and actuators, usually well before aware of the problems through a loss in vehicle performance or derivability.
An illuminated dashboard light informs the driver of the need for service as soon as possible, not of the need to stop the vehicle immediately. Under certain conditions, the dashboard lights will blink of flash. This indicates a rather severe level if engine misfires. When this occurs, the driver should reduce speed and seek service as soon as possible. Severe engine misfires over only a short period of time can seriously damage the emission control system components, especially the catalytic converter, which is most expensive to replace.
OBD's unlike RSD's can detect evaporative emissions and alert the drivers, For example, if the petrol tank cap is not tightened properly after fitments the OBD system can detect the vapour leak and alert the driver. Many after market fitments can work with OBD if the manufactures of these parts ensure that it is properly fitted to sensitize the OBD system. Computerized diagnostic technologies can work in unison with remote sensing systems and enhance the value of the emission control systems.
It is relevant to consider whether the sophisticated technologies are relevant to our national needs at present. The speed with which emission norms are tightened in India, the urge to accelerate the road and traffic infra-structure facilities and awareness to ensure high quality fuel supply indicate that our industries must not lag behind provision of these high-tech systems to our hi-tech vehicles.
The very objectives of these systems are to ensure proper inspection and maintenance program of motor vehicles. Bulk of the auto emissions can be reduced by proper maintenance and the sophisticated RSD and OBD technologies.
Alternative fuel:
Methanol ,ethanol,bio-diesel and CNG(compressed Natural Gas)
Substituting lead in petrol by octane boosters would increase the octane value and reduce emissions of toxic substance such as benzene, toluene and xylene.
Smoker test:
Two standard method are used for smoke test
Filter method:
[
This method specifies the quantity of exhaust gases drawn through a filter element. The degrees of discoloration then provide an indication of the amount of particulate contained in exhaust gas.
Absorption method:
In this method, the opacity of the exhaust gas is indicated by the degree to which it blocks the passage of beam of light that shine through it.
EURO NORMS
The euro norms are meant for regulating vehicular emissions in Europe. The norms are expected in terms of the weight of pollutions such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon(HC),oxides of nitrogen(NOx) and particulate matter emitted per kilometer of vehicular run with load. These ceilings have been fixed for various categories of vehicles. for instance, there are emission level for petrol-driven and diesel-driven vehicles based on the capacity of engines. The pollution measurement under engine idiling conditions without application of load on the vehicles does not reflect the exact quantum of various pollution emitted by the vehicles in reality.
In any internal combustion engines, as the speed or acceleration is increased, the time allowed for combustion of the fuel is varied than the idling condition. This variation is different in a carburetor engine and in a fuel injection petrol or diesel engine. In a carburetor engine, the CO will be maximum at idling speed. In a diesel engine, the smoke will be maximum upon sudden acceleration. The Euro norms adopt certain specified driving cycle related with time Vs speed. During these cycles of operation of the engine the mass of each exhaust gas components is evaluated. This mass is computed from the measured concentrations of each Pollutant in the known exhaust gas volume.
Case study :
According to study, 97% of buses and trucks exit excessive pollutants, three-wheelers contribute about 88%, privately owned two-wheelers about 51%, and only about 12% of private cars were found to be polluting. Today unleaded petrol supplied today in our country has a lead content of 0.13% .This is 2.5 times higher than the international standard which stands at 0.05%.The California Air Resources Board indicate that excessive exposure of diesel exhaust causes CANCER. This means Delhi could have 3000 or more causes of cancer.
Studies have also revealed that a stationary vehicle, with its engine switched on emits seven times more smoke than a vehicle moving smoothly on the road.
