EVALUATION OF MAREMONT CORPORATION‘S NEW AFTERMARKET OXIDATION CATALYTIC CONVERTERS FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS OF VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH TITLE 13, SECTION 2222, OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS I. INTRODUCTION Maremont Corporation of 250 E. Kehoe Blvd., Carol Stream, IL 60188, has applied for an exemption for their new aftermarket oxidation catalytic converter part nos. 28706 and 28735, in accordance with the California regulations on new aftermarket catalytic converters. The catalytic converter part no. 28706 is for vehicles with engine displacement up to 460 CID (7.5 L) and maximum equivalent test weight of 6,000 lbs. Part no. 28735 is intended for 1982 to 1986 Chevrolet and GMC light—duty trucks with engine sizes up to 460 CID (7.5 L). II. CONCLUSION Based on submitted exhaust emissions test data, the staff concludes that the catalytic converters meet the criteria set forth in Vehicle Code Section 27156 and Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222(h) for the stated application. III. RECOMMENDATIONS The staff recommends that Maremont be granted an exemption for their catalytic converter part nos. 28706 and 28735 as requested, and that Executive Order No. D—184—7 be issued, permitting the advertisement, sale and installation of the new aftermarket catalytic converters.

IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The outer shell of Maremont‘s catalytic converters is constructed of 0.054 min. SAE 51409 stainless steel. The substrate consists of a monolithic, extruded honeycomb material, made of cordierite, mullite, alumina, and spinel. The dimensions of the honeycomb material are 5.7 x 3.2 x 2.96 inches with a total volume of 45.86 cubic inches. The active material in the honeycomb is Palladium mixed with Lanthanide Oxide coating and stabilizers. The catalytic converter has a total volume of 180 cubic inches, and weighs 8.5 lbs. A heat shield of 0.032 min. aluminized steel is welded to the converter shell to protect the vehicle underbody from heat. The device is sold with a warranty for 25,000 miles on the substrate, and five years or 50,000 miles on the shell. An installation manual is also enclosed in the sale kit. v. DISCUSSION Maremont has submitted test data on the catalytic converters conducted by Automotive Testing and Development Services, Inc., 15442 Chemical Lane, Huntington Beach, California. The two test catalysts were aged on two 1979 Ford F—250 pick—ups (test vehicle nos. 167—1 and 167—2), each with an engine size of 460 CID (7.5 L). The conversion efficiency tests were conducted on a third vehicle (test vehicle no. 167—3) with the same configuration as the other two mileage accumulation vehicles. The test weight for all three vehicles was 6,000 lbs. Conversion efficiency tests on the two aged catalytic converters consisted of two CVS—75 emission tests with the aged catalytic converter installed on the slave test vehicle, and two CVS—75 tests with exhaust back— pressure simulator installed. The test results and conversion efficiencies _2—
