Abstract |
A test vehicle supplied by Dresser Industries was tested at the EPA Motor Vehicle Emission Laboratory to determine the feasibility of the Dresser Sonic Flow Carburetor system as applied to a 3-way catalyst system. The testing conducted included the standard Federal Testing Procedure, Highway Fuel Economy Testing, testing at 20, 40, 60, and 70 degrees F and sulfate testing. The test vehicle achieved emission levels below the 1981 and subsequent model year standards of .41 gm/mile hydrocarbon, 3.4 gm/mile carbon monoxide and 1.0 gm/mile NOx. The vehicle suffered starting problems at lower temperatures but had no driveability problems when warmed up. An extended idle period at the beginning of the cold start test procedure was also used at lower temperature. This modified FTP procedure improved driveability and lowered vehicle emissions somewhat. |
