| Abstract |
A prototype metal monolith catalytic converter, which may be resistively heated, was emission-tested on a M100 neat methanol-fueled 1981 Volkswagen Rabbit. The catalytic converter, when tested as a three-way catalyst without resistive heating, controlled emissions over the Federal test procedure (FTP) to levels previously obtained by ceramic substrate converters coated with noble metal catalyst formulations. Resistively heating the catalyst substantially lowered emissions of hydrocarbons (HC) and formaldehyde (HCHO) compared to those from the unheated tests. Also included is the test procedures, test vehicle specifications, heating strategy evaluation tests, catalytic converter specifications and the modification of the proposed methanol-fueled vehicle. |
