Objectives
Exhaust emission related particle types
WE ARE EXPLORING THE DOWN TO TEN WORLD OF EMISSIONS: THE SPECIES OF PARTICLES, THEIR CHEMISTRY AND SECONDARY FORMATIONS.
We go below 23 nm and down to 10 nm to understand, define, develop measurement methods, evaluate, simulate and regulate the newly discovered particles in the exhaust emissions of petrol and diesel engines.

The Project
Structure and WP interaction
DownToTen is structured along six main work-packages:

TRA 2018
A prototype dilution system was developed. The DownToTen (DTT) system consists of one (hot or cold) porous tube dilutor, one catalytic stripper (exchangeable), one cold porous dilutor and an additional dilution (if required). The DTT dilution system was found to be a good vehicle to base the further activities of the project.
