Dynamic behavior of automotive catalysts. 4. Impact of air/fuel ratio excursions during driving
Abstract
Previous studies of the transient response of three-way automotive catalysts to rapid changes in air/fuel ratio have considered constant speed operation only. The present work analyzes and compares emissions measure over two different three-way catalysts during the warmed-up portion of the Federal test procedure. A computerized relational data base was used to analyze the large amount of data recorded in each test run. The results demonstrate that the large-amplitude, long-duration rich excursions that occur during variable-speed driving have a major impact on CO, hydrocarbon, and NO emissions.
