                               Staff Report

               Evaluation of Hydro—Catalyst Corporation
                     "Precombustion Catalyst—California
                    Design" Device for Compliance with
                   the Requirements of Section 27156 of
                             the Vehicle Code

  . Introduction

   On January 4, 1974, Hydro—Catalyst Corporation requested an exemption from

   the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for its "Precombustion"

   catalytic device.     The staff reported its evaluation of the device to

   the Executive Officer on June 11, 1974 with the recommendation to deny

   Hydro—Catalyst Corporation‘s request for an exemption from the requirements

   of Section 27156.     The recommendation was based on significant increases

   in hydrocarbon and oxides of nitrogen pfoduced by the device measured

   during emission testing at the Air Resources Board Laboratory.     On June 18,

   1974, the Executive Officer notified the Hydro—Catalyst Corporation of

   his denial of its application.     On July 9, 1974, the Hydro—Catalyst

   Corporation submitted an application for a re—evaluation of a modified

   device relative to the requirements of Section 27156.     This device has been

   identified as the "Precombustion Catalyst—California Design" device.


I1. Device Description
   The modified device incorporates a screen array of the same design as

   the device that was initially submitted for evaluation.     It consists of a

   pair of formed fine mesh wire cloth installed below {downstream) each


"Precombustion Catalyst—California Design"                 July 23, 1974




     carburetor barrel.       The screens are held in place by typical mounting

   . gaskets.     Devices are avaiiable for 1—, 2— and 4—barrel carburetor

     installations.       For a more detailed description of the screen design

     and device function, see Appendix 1, the staff report entitled "Evaluation

     of Hydro—Catalyst Corporation ‘Pre—Combustion‘ Catalytic Device for

   — Compliance with the Requirements of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code",

     dated June 11, 1974.


    The modified device does not employ initial Hydro—Catalyst device modifica—

     tions to the OEM engine settings whereas the initial Hydro-?ata1yst device

     did.     In addition, the California Design device incorporate% changes to    >     x

     the gasket for six—cylinder Chrysler Product applications to conform with

    OEM one—barrel carburetors.


III. Device Evaluation

    A.      Applicant‘s Test Data

            The applicant submitted emission test data performed by Scott Laboratories

            on a 1972 Oldsmobi]e,v455 CID, 4—barrel carburetor and automatic

            transmission.    These data were extracted from test results of a series |

            of tests performed on this vehicle to determine the emission effects of
            the screen device in combination with various changes in OEM engine

            settings.


            The submitted data are intended to show the effects of the screen device

            without any chariges to OEM engines settings as éompared to the baseline

            vehicle.    Several factors preclude the possibility of directly comparing


"Precombustion Catalyst—California Design"                   July 23, 1974




         the two sets of data.       First, the device test was performed

         abproximately one month and 3,000 vehicle miles after the baseline

         tests.   Second, the baseline test was performed acéording t6>the

         cold—start CVS test procedure and the device test was performed

         éccording to the hot—start CVS test procedure.           Therefore, no conclu—

         sion can be made from these data.         The submitted data are shown in

         Appendix II.       The following is a summary of these data:

         Air Resources Board Test Data

         Emission tests were performed at the Air Resources Laboratory on the

         following vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions :

             1972 Dodge Pick—up, 225 CID engine with T—barrel carburetor.

             1972 Dodge Pick—up, 318 CID engine with 2—barrel carburetor.

             1974 Chevrolet Pick—up, 350 CID engine with 4—barrel carburetor.


        A series of three baseline and three device hot—start CVS tests were

         performed on each vehicle.        The tests were designed to statistically

         nest and balance the data obtained from the tests of the three vehicles.
        The vehicles were each adjusted to the vehicle manufacturer'$ engine

         settings for all tests.         The following are the results of the emission

         tests:

                                 was used to evaluate these data.        See Tables 1 through 4 for the

                                 statistical summaries.     The analysis of variance shows no statistical

                                 difference between the emissions obtafined with and without the device

                                 at the 95% confidence level.        Also, no significant difference was

                                 found in fuel economy at the 95% confidence level with and without
                                 the device.    Although a 9.1% increase in HC and 5.4% increase in NOx was

                                 noted with the one—barrel carburetor, this effect was believed to be

                                 adversely influenced by intermittant operation of the vacuum spark

                                 advance temperature control unit on the vehicle.


                            C.   Durability Evaluation

                                 The 1—, 2— and 4—barrel carburetor devices were examined after the

                                 hot~start CVS test series.     The wire cloths of all of the devices

                                 were relatively clean and undamaged.           The 1—barrel carburetor device

                                 after testing is shown in Figure 1.


"Precombustion Catalyst—California Design"                       July 23, 1974




         After compléting the hot—start CVS test series, the vehicle with the

         4—barrel device accumulated approximately 2,000 miles of service.       The

        wire cloth is coated with a residue probably composed of the dyes and

        additives found in the gasoline.     The residue pattern appears to be

        briented according to the fuel passages.     See Figure 1.   The residue

         thickness would be expected to reach an equilibrium value which would

        not restrict air flow sufficiently to cafise an adverse effect on
        emissions due to the gasoline‘s solvent action.     No other long term

         problems would be anticipated based on engineering jJudgment.


         Installation Instructions

        The Staff has verified that the suBmitted device installation instruc—

        tions reflect the proper OEM or exhaust retrofit device manufacturer‘s
        settings for idle speed and mixture ratio.    The installation instructions

        do not contain any statements relative to ignition timing settings.

        Other items which the Staff required in the installation instructions were:

         (1)   more specific instructions relating to any required choke adjust—

        ments; (2)    the speéified torgue values corrected to show proper units

         {foot—pounds or inch—pounds); (3) clarify when the original carburetor

        mounting gaskets may be used or replaced; and (4) replace the carburetor

        mounting studs with longer ones when necessary rather than backing out

        the original studs from their mounting holes for adequate length.


        The applicant has satisfied all these installation instruction require~

        ments.

 IV. Conclusions and Recormmendations

     It is the Staff opinion that Hydro—Catalyst Corporations "Precombustion

    Catalyst—California Design" device has neither a statistically significant

     effect on exhaust emissions nor fuel economy.


     It is recommended that Hydro—Catalyst Corporation be granted an exemption

     from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for its "Precombustion

    Catalyst—California Design" device for use on 1974 and older model—year

     vehicles.

                   Evaluation of Hydro—Catalyst Corporation
                      "Pre—Combustion" Catalytic Device for
                       Compliance with the Requirements of
                         Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code


T.     Introduction
       The Hydro—Catalyst Corporation, Holmdel, New Jersey has applied

       for an exemption from the prohib}tions of Section 27156 the

       Vehicle Code for'its "Pre—Combustion" catalytic device.        Section

       27156 prohibits the advertising, sale or installation of any

       device which reduces the effectiveness of motor véhicie emission

       control systems.    Thg applicant is requesting that fhe.exemption

       be granted for 1974 and older model—year vehicles.


I1.    Defiice Description and Function

       The Hydro—Catalyst Corporation‘s "Pre—Combustion" device is designed

       to position a pair of formed screens under {downstream) each carburetor

       barrel.   The applicant produces devices to fit engines with 1—, 2—

      . and 4— barrel carburetors.      See Figure 1.   The screens are made of

     — fine mesh wire cloth and formed into conical and parabolic shapes.

       The upstream screen is plated with cadmium and the downstream screen

       with nickel.    The screens are mated in assembly by a mounting gasket


                                                                          APPENDIX 1 —




                         with approximately 1/8 inch space between the screens,          The applicant

                         states that physical contact between the screens will destroy the

                         device‘s catalytic effect.


                         The mounting gasket is of typical laminated gasket material, f.e.,

                         nitrile rubber with asbestos fiber filler.       _A    coating of an

                         electrolytic material is applied between the laminations.          Grounding

                        _ _tabs protrude from the electrolytic coating.


                         In addition to the installation of the device, it is required that

                         the vehicle‘s OEM engine settings be modified.        The installation

                         instructions specify advancing the initial timing up to an additional

                         six degrees.   The idle CO is adjusted by leaning the mixtfire to a

                         constant misfire conditfon and then enrichening the mixture until

                         only occasional misfires occur.

                         The applicant states that through catalytic action the device will

                        ~ precondition the air—fuel mixture in such a manner as to promote

                         more efficient combustion.     It is claimed that this enhancement is

                         acfiié&ed by a precursory effect induced by the device to influence

                         combustion and to lower the vehicle‘s fuel octane requireméent.          Removal

                         of engine carbon deposits,     reduced air pollution     and improved vehicle

                         performance a;e also claimed.     The staff evaluation concerns itself

                         with only the effects of the device on exhaust emissions.

   The data obtained from the other tests indicate that the device

    adversely affects HC and NOx emissions and beheficially affects CO

    emissfions.   These results can be expected as a consequence of advancing

    the spark timing and excessively leaning the idle mixture ratio.


IV. Conclusions and Recommendations
   The staff conciudes that the timing and idle CO adjustments required

   with the installation of the Hydro—Catalyst device adversely affect

   HC and NOx emissions.     The leaning of the air—fuel mixture also

  : substantially reduces CC emissions.    No emission related éffects

   attributed to the catalyst could be determined in the evaluation.


   It is the staff recommendation the Hydro—Catalyst Corporation be

  — denfed an exemption to Vehicle Code Section 27156 for its "Pre—

  vvCombustion" device for installation on‘ 1974 and older model—year

   vehicles.
