Analysis of the efficiency of the in-cylinder catalyst to reduce exhaust emissions during the cold start combustion engine

The article concerns the use of an in-cylinder catalyst that allows reducing the exhaust emissions during diesel engine operation. This is an additional method of exhaust emission reduction - however, the active component is placed inside the combustion chamber - hence much closest to the combustion process. This allows reducing the emissions at the very source (catalyst applied on the glow plugs). Such solutions are necessary because the reduction of exhaust emissions from vehicles is a key aspect of reducing the negative impact of transport on the environment.
