An engine tail gas ozone purifying system and method. The engine tail gas ozone purifying system comprises reaction fields (220, 202) used for mixture reaction of an ozone stream and a tail gas stream. A large amount of urea does not need to be added and the purification effect is good.

An engine exhaust gas ozone purification method, comprising: mixing a ozone stream and an exhaust stream to react, and removing nitric acid in a reaction product of the ozone stream and the exhaust stream mixture. A gas that has a nitric acid mist is caused to flow through a first electrode (301). When the gas that has the nitric acid mist flows through the first electrode (301), the first electrode (301) charges the nitric acid mist in the gas, and a second electrode (302) applies an attractive force to the charged nitric acid mist, so that the nitric acid mist is moved toward the second electrode (302) until the nitric acid mist adheres onto the second electrode (302). The present engine exhaust gas ozone purification method does not need to add a large amount of urea, and the purification effect is good.

A system and method for purifying engine exhaust by using ozone; the system for purifying engine exhaust by using ozone comprises a reaction field (202), which is used to mix an ozone stream and an exhaust stream for reaction; the system has an excellent purification effect without needing to add a large amount of urea.

An in-vehicle exhaust gas analysis system, which is provided with a flowmeter, and an exhaust gas analyzer to analyze a concentration of a measurement target component contained in exhaust gas, includes a standard gas supply mechanism to supply a standard gas containing a predetermined component to the flowmeter and the exhaust gas analyzer.

A portable oxygen and carbon dioxide analyzer device includes a lightweight housing with physical dimensions rendering the analyzer device portable. The analyzer device meets Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) criteria for linearity, repeatability, and response time. The analyzer device can be used for emissions testing without the need of a temperature controlled environment. The analyzer device is meant to be used at the testing location which can be hundreds of feet (meters) above ground level. The analyzer device is light weight and physically small to facilitate transportation to the testing location. The analyzer device uses an algorithm programed into its digital controller to compensate for ambient temperature and pressure fluctuations during the testing procedure. The analyzer device has analog and digital outputs and internal data logging capabilities to facilitate calibration and monitoring of flue gas component concentrations.

A method for operating an internal combustion engine includes combusting a fuel and air mixture within a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, thereby forming an exhaust gas, passing the exhaust gas out of the combustion chamber, performing a startup procedure, the startup procedure including passing the exhaust gas from the combustion chamber to a storage unit, capturing criteria pollutants of the exhaust gas with the storage unit, passing the exhaust gas from the storage unit to an aftertreatment system, heating the aftertreatment system to an activation temperature with the exhaust gas from the storage unit, and subsequent to heating the aftertreatment system to the activation temperature, performing a secondary procedure, the secondary procedure including passing the exhaust gas from the combustion chamber to the aftertreatment system thereby forming a treated exhaust gas, and passing the treated exhaust gas to the storage unit.

A CO.sub.2 recovery system used in a vehicle includes a CO.sub.2 recovery device recovering CO.sub.2 contained in inflowing gas; and a flow rate control device controlling flow rates of gases present in a plurality of different regions of the vehicle flowing into the CO.sub.2 recovery device.

One or more light sources emit light within first, second, and third wavelength ranges through exhaust gas. The first and second wavelength ranges are characterized by first and second different absorption wavelength ranges of a background gas. The third wavelength range is characterized by an absorption wavelength range of a gas-of-interest. At least some of the light within the first, second, and third wavelength ranges is absorbed by the exhaust gas thereby providing modified light characterized by the first, second, and third absorption wavelength ranges. One or more detectors receive the modified light. A processing subsystem determines a temperature of the exhaust gas based on the modified light characterized by the first and second absorption wavelength ranges and a concentration of the gas-of-interest based on the modified light characterized by the third absorption wavelength range and the temperature of the exhaust gas.
