The new California regulations require conversion efficiencies of 70% for HC and CO, 60% for NOx on three—way converters and 50% for three— way plus new aftermarket catalytic converters. Emissions data submitted show that the Waiker two—way and three—way catalytic cdnverters meet the requirements of Vehicle Code Section 27156 and Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222(h). Based on the above, the staff recommends that the exemption be granted as requested.

INTRODUCT10N Walker Manufacturing Company of Grass Lake, Michigan, has applied for an exemption for their new aftermarket two—way and three—way catalytic converters in accordance with the new California regulations on new aftermarket catalytic converters. 11. CONCLUS1ON The applicant has submitted all| the required information and based on the submitted exhaust emissions test data, the staff concludes that the two—way and three—way catalytic converters meet the criteria set forth in Vehicle Code Section 27156 and Title 13, Cal ifornia Code of Regulations, Section 2222(h). 111. RECOMMENDAT ION The staff recommends that the exemption be granted as reduested and that Executive Order No. D—182—1 permitting the advertisement, sales and installation of the new aftermarket catalytic converters be issued. IV. DEVICE DESCRIPT1ION The Walker two—way catalytic converter consists of honeycomb type substrates coated with platinum and palladium and enclosed in an outer shell or container of stainless steel. The three—way catalytic converter consists of honeycomb type substrates coated with platinum, palladium and rhodium enclosed in an outer shell or container of stainless steel.

The Walker Manufacturing Company catalytic converters use materials and construction similar to the original equipment manufacturers. The catalytic converters are sold with installation instructions and kits as shown in the application catalog. They are also sold with a two year or 25,000 mile warranty on the substrates and five years or 50,000 miles on the container or shell. V. DEV1CE EVALUAT ION Walker Manufacturing Company provided test data on the catalytic converters. ~The tests on the two—way converter were conducted by Olson Engineering Inc., Huntington Beach, California. The conversion efficiencies for the two—way cqnverter are 81.8 for HC and 92.9 for CO. The conversion efficiencies for the three—way converter are 87.6 for HC, 80.6 for CO and 65.9 for NOx. The tests on the three—way converter were conducted by Intelligent Controls, Inc., Livonia, Michigan, which is an EPA approved test laboratory. All of the above conversion efficiencies meet the requirements of the new California regulations. The staff based the evaluation of the new aftermarket two—way and three—way converters on tfie data from Olson Engineering and Intelligent Controls tests.
