  • Exhaust/Emissions Systems Overview Emissions Testing
    Exhaust/Emissions Systems Overview Below is an overview of this system's operation Emissions Testing Many states require emissions tests on vehicles. This means that you drive to a facility where the test people take a sample of your emissions and run it through some analysis. The results are printed,and you pass or fail depending on the percentage of toxic emissions that turn up in your car's sample. The only way to "study" or prepare for this test is to take good care of your car, including its emission system. If you use preventative maintenance, and keep your car tuned properly, you will pass. If you tamper with your emissions system, you will not pass. You can have your car checked independently before your emissions test if you want to resolve problems before going to the emissions test station. One other good thing to do is to save your printouts from the test from year to year. If you compare them, you will be able to monitor your car (if its score is getting worse) and catch any problems before the emissions people catch you. The Emission Control System The purpose of the emission control system is just that; it controls the emissions and exhaust from your vehicle. The idea is to turn the harmful gases your car manufactures into harmless ones that don't ruin the environment, or us. Some of the problem gases are: • hydrocarbons (unburned) • carbon monoxide • carbon dioxide • nitrogen oxides • sulfur dioxide • phosphorus • lead and other metals To help control these substances, we (along with federal regulations) have made changes in our gasoline to eliminate them.

Some data will also be presented from field tests: One an example of a project failure and the other a big success. ASHRAE TC 2.6 Engine Exhaust Considerations The exhaust system of a generator has several inherent design problems that must be considered. These characteristics impose severe limitations on what can be done to silence the engine exhaust noise: nVery High Noise (100 to 120 dBA @ 1 m) o nHigh Temperatures (950 to 1050 F) nHigh Velocities (5,000 to 15,000 fpm) nCombustion By-Products (soot & corrosion) nPipe Thermal Expansion ASHRAE TC 2.6 Performance Characteristics n Insertion Loss (dB) depends on design, size and frequency n Pressure Drop (inches H2O or Hg) depends on velocity & design n Self-Generated Noise (dB ref. 1 picowatt) depends on velocity & design Insertion loss (IL) is defined as the reduction of noise level that occurs when a silencing element is inserted into the system. Because engines generate strong tonal components, the IL of any one muffler will not be the same with different engines, different loads, or different piping configurations. Pressure drop is more predictable, however. Specific data on self noise is generally not available. ASHRAE TC 2.6 Engine exhaust noise varies significantly with loading. Typically the noise level at full load is about 10 dB higher than the no-load condition.

The public review is held at Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan, Brinellvägen 83, room B319 Gladan, 25th of January 2013 at 10:00. Abstract Due to growing concerns regarding global energy security and environmental sustainability it is becoming increasingly important to increase the energy efficiency of the transport sector. The internal combustion engine will probably continue to be the main propulsion system for road transportation for many years to come. Hence, much effort must be put in reducing the fuel consumption of the internal combustion engine to prolong a future decline in fossil fuel production and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Turbocharging and variable valve actuation applied to any engine has shown great benefits to engine efficiency and performance. However, using a turbocharger on an engine gives some drawbacks. In an attempt to solve some of these issues and increase engine efficiency further this thesis deals with the investigation of a novel gas exchange concept called divided exhaust period (DEP).

  • Catalytic Converter Theft Information Bulletin
    CATALYTIC CONVERTER THEFT INFORMATION BULLETIN FRANKLIN-BINGHAM FARMS POLICE DEPARTMENT Crime Prevention Bureau (248) 626-9672 WHAT IS A CATALYTIC CONVERTER? A catalytic converter is an air pollution abatement device that removes pollutants from motor vehicle exhaust, either by oxidizing them into carbon dioxide and water or reducing them into nitrogen and oxygen. The catalytic converter device uses a catalyst to convert three harmful compounds in the car exhaust into harmless compounds. The three compounds are: -Hydrocarbons -Carbon monoxide -Nitrogen oxides In a catalytic converter, the catalyst (in the form of platinum and palladium) is coated onto a ceramic honeycomb or ceramic beads that are housed in a muffler-like package attached to the exhaust pipe. The catalyst helps to convert carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. It converts the hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water. It also converts the nitrogen oxides back into nitrogen and oxygen. PHOTO FROM “HOW IT WORKS.COM” WHY ARE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS POPULAR WITH THIEVES? Converters use the metals Platinum and Palladium as the catalyst. Both of these metals are extremely expensive and provide for high reward versus the risk in committing the theft. Per CNNMONEY.COM, on 03/04/10: Gold sold for $1,133.10 per troy ounce while Platinum sold for $1,582.40 per troy ounce. 2 WHAT DO CATALYTIC CONVERTERS LOOK LIKE? The following are some very basic photos of converters: Attached Catalytic Converter Unit Catalytic Converter Unit Oxygen Sensors The converter is between the exhaust system and the engine and is normally in front of the middle of the vehicle.

    Advisory Circular Subject: Inspection and Care of General Date: 7/23/07 AC No: 91-59A Aviation Aircraft Exhaust Systems Initiated by: AFS-300 1. PURPOSE. a. This advisory circular (AC) emphasizes the safety hazards of poorly maintained aircraft exhaust systems (reciprocating powerplants) and highlights points at which exhaust system failures occur. Further, it provides information on the kinds of problems to be expected and recommends pilots perform ongoing preventive maintenance and mechanics perform maintenance. b. This AC provides an acceptable means of complying with the regulations; however, it is not the only means of compliance. This AC is not mandatory and does not constitute a regulation. When this AC uses mandatory language (e.g., “must” or “may not”) it is paraphrasing a regulatory requirement or prohibition. When this AC uses permissive language (e.g., “should” or “may”), it describes an acceptable means, but not the only means, of complying with regulations. However, if you use the means described to comply with a regulatory requirement, you must follow it in all respects. 2. CANCELLATION.

  • Catalytic Converter (PDF)
    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY WASHINGTON, D.C. 20460 Mb8 131991 OFFICE OF AIR AND- RADIATION To whom may it concern: As you know, the Clean Air Act was amended on November 15, 1990. Several of the changes in the Amendments affect the automotive repairfservice industry directly. These changes include the expansion of the tampering prohibition to include private individuals and the prohibition against the manufacture, installation, sale or offering for sale of any part or component used on any motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine where a principal effect is to bypass, defeat, or render inoperative any emission control device or element of design of any emission control system. The enclosed Fact Sheet: Exhaust Svstem ReDair Guidelines has been revised to Conform to the new provisions of the Clean Air Act and represents a change in our enforcement policy with regard to exhaust repair. This change is effective immediately. Essentially, the changes in these guidelines reflect EPA'S position that any pipe used to replace the section of exhaust where the catalytic converter should be, would be considered illegal under the revised Clean Air Act.
