Analysis of behavior of CO<inf>2</inf> emissions, CO and the lambda factor of a vehicle with a conventional injection system with catalyst and without catalyst

Abstract:

The analysis of the behavior of the CO and CO2 emissions is used to determine the performance of the engine work cycle, and in addition to verify the graph of the lambda factor, for which a study of the importance of a catalyst is carried out because some-times the owners of the vehicles decide to eliminate the catalytic converter from the outlet lines of the engine burnt gases, and circulate along the roads of Ecuador ignoring the impact on the health of citi-zens and direct pollution towards the environment. With the analysis of the operation and characteristics of the pollutant emissions of an Otto cycle internal combustion engine, control models are generated for the projection of the amount of pollutant gases that are emitted when eliminating the catalytic converter and thereby establishing the levels of emission generated by a vehicle without a catalyst, despite the fact that the engine is in optimal operating conditions at different running speeds.
