摘要: Worldwide emission standards are extending their requirements to cover engine operation under extreme ambient conditions and fill the gap between type-approval real driving conditions. The new boundaries affect performance raw emissions as well efficiency of exhaust aftertreatment systems. This study evaluates impact high altitude low temperature on light-off conversion an oxidation catalyst. results compared in a common range mass flow with baseline sea-level at 20 ∘ C. A reduction CO HC efficiencies was found 2500 m −7 C, relevant increase for both pollutants. analysis experimental data complemented use catalyst model identify causes leading deterioration light-off. allowed identifying, same temperature, contributions variation caused by change engine-out tailpipe pressure, which are, turn, manifested reactants partial pressure dwell time governing parameters.
