PMP-30-06

PM in Europe

In EEA*-32 countries 3.6 million years of life lost in 2005

due to PM emissions (more than 8 months per citizen)

About 50% of traffic related air pollution comes from abrasion

(brakes etc.)

REBRAKE: GOALS & KEY-FACTS

1.At least 50% particulate matter (PM10) mass reduction from brake wear, in compliance with the EU2020 thematic strategy of 47% reduction of particulate matter by 2020;

2.Deeper comprehension of the physical and chemical phenomena underlying the brake wear process, including higher comprehension and analysis of characteristics coarse, fine and UFP particles.

• REBRAKE Goals

• REBRAKE Partners

• REBRAKE Project Length: 48 months (March 2013-February 2017)

How does REBRAKE works

Some WP’s results from the first year

WP2: Pod test set-up

Schematic of the test equipment. A: Room air; B: Fan; C: Flow rate measurement; D: Filter; E: Flexible tube; F: Inlet for clean air, measurement point; G: Closed box (Chamber); H: Pin-on-disk machine; I: Air inside box, well mixed; J: Air outlet, measurement points; L: Dead weight; M: Rotating disk sample; N: Pin Sample

WP2: Dyno test set-up

10 different bench tests with 170 stops each one (SAE J2707)

WP4: Particle characterization

Collected particles from different ELPI stages (size range) are analysed with TEM and SEM to understand the different chemical composition and generation phenomena

WP4: Chemical analysis

EDX, XRF, ICP have been employed in order to better understand the elemental behaviour
