    The document discusses catalytic emission control systems. It describes how a three-way catalytic converter is currently the most effective method for controlling gasoline engine emissions by converting carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrous oxides to less harmful gases. For optimal operation, precise lambda control maintains an air-fuel ratio of 1:1 at the converter. The document also introduces NOx accumulator catalytic converters and selective catalytic reduction as methods to reduce NOx emissions under lean burn conditions.

    Catalytic Emission Control

     Catalytic exhaust-gas after treatment with the aid of a three-way catalytic converter is
    currently the most effective form of emission control for gasoline engines.
     The threeway catalytic converter is an integral component of the exhaust-emission control
    systems of both manifold-injection engines and gasoline direct-injection engines.
     In the case of homogeneous mixture distribution with a stoichiometric air/fuel ratio (λ =
    1), a three-way catalytic converter at normal operating temperature is able to convert the
    following pollutants virtually completely: carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HCs)
    and nitrous oxides (NOX).

    Catalytic Emission Control

     Precise lambda closed-loop control monitors the composition of the air/fuel mixture and
    regulates it at a value of λ = 1.
     Although these ideal conditions cannot always be maintained in all operating states,
    pollutant emissions can on average be reduced by more than 98%.
     Because the three-way catalytic converter is unable to convert the nitrous oxides in lean
    mode (λ > 1), an additional NOX accumulator- type catalytic converter is used in engines
    with a lean operating mode.
     Another means of reducing NOX at λ > 1 is Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR).

    Catalytic-converter concepts

     Catalytic converters can be divided into the following categories:


     Continuously operating catalysts, and
     Intermittently operating catalysts

     Continuously operating catalytic converters convert pollutants uninterrupted and without


    actively intervening in the engine operating conditions. The following systems are classed as
    continuously operating: the three-way catalytic converter, the oxidation catalytic converter
    and the SCR catalytic converter (Selective Catalytic Reduction; currently used in diesel
    engines only).

    Catalytic-converter concepts

     Intermittently operating catalytic converters operate in different phases, which are


    initiated in each case by an active change in the boundary conditions by the catalytic-
    converter system.
     The NOX accumulator-type catalytic converter operates intermittently: In the event of
    excess oxygen in the exhaust gas, NOX is accumulated and the system is switched to rich
    mode (oxygen deficiency) for the subsequent regeneration phase.

    Three-way catalytic converter -
    Method of operation

     The three-way catalytic converter converts the following pollutant components into non-
    toxic components during the combustion of the air/fuel mixture: hydrocarbons (HCs),
    carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrous oxides (NOX).
     The end products which result are water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen
    (N2).
