Resistively Heated Catalytic Converter with Air Injection for Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide and Hydrocarbons at Reduced Ambient Temperatures

摘要

A resistively-heated metal monolith catalytic converter together with a belt-driven air pump was evaluated on a gasoline-fueled vehicle. The system was evaluated on a gasoline-fueled light-duty vehicle over the Federal test procedure (FTP) cycle at 20 F ambient conditions. Description of the test program, vehicle description, test facilities and analytical methods, testing results and future efforts are included.
