Textbook Question
Chapter 82, Problem 1RQ
List the five exhaust gases and their maximum allowable readings for a fuel-injected vehicle equipped with a catalytic converter.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The list of five exhaust gases with their maximum allowable readings for a fuel injected vehicle fitted with a catalytic converter.
Explanation of Solution
The list of exhaust gases and their maximum allowable readings are shown in below table:
S.No. | Exhaust Gases | Maximum allowable readings |
1 | Hydrocarbons (HC) | 30 to 50 PPM |
2 | Carbon monoxide (CO) | 0.3 % to 0.5 % |
3 | Oxygen (O2) | 0% to 2 % |
4 | Carbon dioxide (CO2) | 12 % to 15 % |
5 | Nitrogen oxides(NOx) | 100 PPM at idle and 1000 PPM at WOT |
