An alternative metal foam substrate for exhaust aftertreatment applications has been recently presented and characterized. The present paper focuses on the potential of the metal foam technology as an efficient DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst) and CDPF (Catalyzed Diesel Particulate Filter) substrates on real-world conditions. The target platform is a mid-size passenger car and the methodology includes both modeling and experiments. The experimental testing starts from small-scale reactor characterization of the basic heat/mass transfer properties and chemical kinetics. The results show that the foam structure exhibits excellent mass-transport properties offering possibilities for precious metal and catalyst volume savings for oxidation catalyst applications. These results are also used to calibrate an advanced 2-dimensional model which is able to predict the transient filtration and reaction phenomena in axial and radial flow systems. Based on the model results, full-scale prototypes are designed and manufactured for application on 2.2 liters diesel engine for both DOC and CDPF functionalities. The prototypes are tested initially on the engine dyno and then on the chassis dyno on the European legislated driving cycle. Detailed instantaneous measurements of the gaseous and solid emissions show the potential of the system to meet the CO, HC and PM (Particulate Matter) mass emission requirements for Euro 5 with a significant potential of volume and precious metals reduction. Finally, the real-world performance of the system is demonstrated on the road for a mileage of 22,000 km showing very slow pressure drop build-up as a result of superior passive regeneration potential.
