This paper outlines the development and integration of an advanced emission control system with a modern heavy-duty diesel engine for use in a series of catalyst aging tests. The project that is discussed is one of several being conducted under the Department of Energy's Advanced Petroleum-Based Fuels - Diesel Emission Control (APBF-DEC) activity. This government/industry collaboration is examining how systems of advanced fuels, engines, and emission control systems can deliver significantly lower emissions while maintaining or improving vehicle fuel economy. This project is using a Cummins ISX EGR engine (15 L) with a secondary fuel injection system to enable NOx adsorber catalyst regeneration. Development of the strategies for NOx regeneration and sulfur removal as well as integration of the emission control hardware is discussed. Performance of oven aged systems tested over transient and steady-state cycles is summarized.
