A Simpli ed Three-Way Catalyst Model for Use in On-Board SI Engine Control and Diagnostics

چکیده
* ABSTRACT Automotive emissions are severely regulated. Since 1980, a three-way catalyst (TWC) has been used to convert harmful emissions of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and oxides of nitrogen into less harmful gases in order to meet these regulations. The e ciency of conversion of these gases is dependent on the mass ratio of air to fuel (A=F ) in the mixture leaving the exhaust manifold and entering the catalyst, the velocity of the exhaust mass, and the temperature of the catalyst. The goal of this paper is to develop a dynamic, control-oriented model of a TWC. First, the importance of developing such a model will be explained. Then, a simpli ed dynamic catalyst model that can be determined on the basis of medium bandwidth A=F measurements and low bandwidth temperature and emission measurements will be introduced and validated.

متن کاملAir-Fuel Ratio Control of a Lean Burn SI Engine Using Fuzzy Self Tuning Method
Reducing the exhaust emissions of an spark ignition engine by means of engine modifications requires consideration of the effects of these modifications on the variations of crankshaft torque and the engine roughness respectively. Only if the roughness does not exceed a certain level the vehicle do not begin to surge. This paper presents a method for controlling the air-fuel ratio for a lean bu...
متن کاملComparison of Aged and fresh Automotive Three-Way Catalyst in Driving Cycle
Recently, environmental concern and demand for a catalyst’s high performance have increased and many research activities focused on the operation of a three-way catalyst (TWC) at the end of its lifetime. Catalyst aging is the loss of catalytic activity over time that has crucial importance in emission of three-way catalyst. The aim of this paper is, investigating experimentally the performanc...
