“…In recent years natural gas is considered as one of most promising alternative fuels for IC engines providing positive effects on both the environment and energy security (McTaggart-Cowan et al, 2010). Previous study reports that natural gas fueled engine is smoke free and it reduces toxic emissions by 70e85% in comparison with gasoline and diesel oil (Barros Zárante and Sodré, 2009). Although natural gas for intake manifold injection has been successfully used in passenger cars and city buses in the past decade, automotive engine researchers have sought directinjection compression ignition (DICI) engines to improve engine efficiency with natural gas fuel to meet stringent emission limits and limit the negative impact of the greenhouse effect (Kalam and Masjuki, 2011).…”

“…Efficiency of the catalytic converter was assessed by comparing the experimental data on CH and CO emissions in the exhaust system before and after the converter. Such a method is quite widespread to obtain information on the effect of various materials and structural features of catalytic converters on the amount of toxic emissions, and also performance tests of converters [14][15][16][17][18]. The subject of present research is determination of the effect of various operating conditions and engine malfunctions on the efficiency of reducing CH and CO emissions in exhaust gas by the converter.…”

In the conditions of continuous operation of a car tests of its engine for compliance with the declared environmental class on specialized test benches seem to be quite costly and laborious. Given this circumstance, in this paper a simplified method for verifying the operability of converters is proposed including the assessment of the influence of certain operation modes and some operational factors on the amount of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide emissions. Efficiency of the converter was estimated by comparing the experimental data on the emissions of these toxic components in the exhaust system before and after the converter. To test the efficiency of the converter, the cold start and warm-up modes of the engine were selected and investigated, as well as several modes close to those typical for testing the engine and car in urban areas according to the European Driving Cycle. As operational factors, typical malfunctions were investigated that often occur during the operation of an engine and significantly increase the amount of harmful emissions. A criterion is proposed for evaluating the performance of the converter and recommendations are given to increase the efficiency of the converter to meet the certain emission standards for cars with spark-ignition engines.
