State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD Staff Report November 25, 1981 Evaluation of Lindberg International Corporations "Lindberg Combustion Control System" in Accordance with Section 2222, Title 13 of the California Administrative Code. I. INTRODUCTION On October 9, 1974, the Lindberg Ecology Corporation was granted an Executive Order accrediting a retrofit device known as the Lindberg Combustion Control System as a non—mandatory NOx control device for 1966 through 1970 motor vehicles. This company, now known as Lindberg International, is seeking exemption from the prohibitions of California Vehicle Code Section 27156 for installation of the device on 1976 and older vehicles. II. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The Lindberg system is an injéction system which introduces the water as sfeam through the positive crankcase vent port of the carburetor. The unique feature of this system is the "Reactor" which controls the fluid flow as a function of exhaust manifold temperature and vaporizes the water using exhaust manifold heat. A magnetic valve placed in the water reservoir acts as a flow limiter and an anti—siphon valve. The combination of the magnetic valve and the Reactor prevent water from entering the engine during low demand modes. III. DEVICE EVALUATION , The Lindberg device has been extensively tested and accredited as a non—mandatory retrofit NOx control device for older vehicles. This device is designed to introduce water only during high demand modes.

Systems utilizing similar control concepts have been found not to increase emissions from late model vehicles. IV. RECOMMENDATIONS The staff finds that installation of the Lindberg Combustion Control System will have no adverse effect upon the emissions of a motor vehicle and recommends that E. 0. D—121 exempting the "Lindberg Combustion Control System" from the prohbitions of V. C. 27156 be granted.
