Fuel Penalty Comparison for (Electrically) Heated Catalyst Technology Comparaison de l’augmentation de consommation de carburant pour la technologie de catalyseurs chauffés à l’électricité
The conversion efficiency of three way catalytic converters is mainly defined by the temperature range wherein they are operating. Traditionally, ignition retard has been used to reduce the light-off time of the catalyst. This is however associated with a fuel penalty. With increasing vehicle ele...
