Abstract

Over the past few years more attention has being given to the question of the environment, which has led to various legislations “ad hoc” for different industrial sectors regarding methods of production, use of the product and its final disposal. The product’s working life, rather than the actual disposal of the product, often has greatest effects on the environment [1]: if we consider the problems tied to the emission of pollution in the atmosphere by vehicles with an internal combustion engine we realise that there is much we can do to improve the quality of life from the point of view of bettering the environment in which we live. In the automotive field, as known, the phase of use of the vehicle contributes heavily to the calculated total of emissions during its life cycle. In this context, the automotive industry finds valid support in the approach proposed by DFE (Design for Environment) in confronting all the problems tied to the new and evermore strict EC directives existing about exhaust emissions. In this memory a new tool named RAEGIE (Reliability Analysis for Exhaust Gas Impact Evaluation) will be proposed for bettering the characteristics of vehicle’s environmental compatibility. It is developed in accordance with a modular approach based on the development and integration of some other innovative methodologies. RAEGIE has been created to be applied to any injection system and catalyser, with the purpose of identifying the malfunctions that influence the increase of emissions in the atmosphere and the products compatibility with the norms in force. The method has been demonstrated by means of an application on two different configurations of injection system and catalyser [2]. This “user friendly” approach, integrated with an experimental activity, could be used as a comparison tool for the better choice between different design solutions allowing the improvement of the vehicle environmental efficiency of injection systems and catalyser with reduction of cost and time resources.
