State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD November 5, 1976 Evaluation of the Ball—Matic Corporation "Ball—Matic Air Injector" Device for Compliance with the Requirements of Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code Introduction The Ball—Matic Corporation of 1429 Palo Loma, Orange, California 92668 has submitted an application requesting an extension to a previously granted exemption from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code for the "Ball—Matic Air Injector". This application is for 1977 and older model—year vehicle usage. The Air Resources Board staff had previously evaluated this device (Staff Report dated November 18, 1975), and found that the device had no adverse effects on the vehicle emission control system. Executive Order D—9—3 was issued on November 4, 1975 to Ball—Matic Corporation for its "Ball—Matic Air Injector" for 1976 and older model—year vehicles. The applicant has requested that this exemp— tion be extended to include the 1977 vehicles (Exhibit A).

Evaluation of the Ball—Matic Corporation "Ball— Matic Air Injector" Device for Compliance with the Requirements of Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code November 5, 1976 System Description and Function The "Bali—Matic" device consists of a filter, plastic ball, spring, and a metal housing with ports used to insert the device between the PCV vailve and carburetor. Exhibit B is a copy of the installa— tion instructions. The name "Ball—Matic Air Injector" is printed on a durable label pasted to the bottom of the device housing. The device has a modulating poppet which meters the quantity of air bleed into the engine. Engine manifold vacuum determines the degree of poppet opening. Maximum air flow occurs at low vécuum (high speed and wide open throttle) and minimum flow occurs at high vacuum (idle and deceleration)}. When the engine is not operating, the poppet is in the open position. III. System Evaluation A. Effects on the Vehicle Exhaust Emission Control Systems The Applicant stated that there was no change in the "Ball— Matic" device or its application. The ARB ran a bench flow test on the new device submitted {Fig. 1) and confirmed that the device flow characteristics were identical to the previously evaluated device.

Evaluation of the Balt—Matic Corporation "Ball— Matic Air Injector" Device for Compliance with the Requirements of Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code November 5, 1976 The ARB Laboratory had previously conducted a bench flow test on tflé device and back—to—back CVS—II emission tests on a fleet of 1975 vehicles. The vehicles chosen all had small engines since these vehicles are most susceptible to the "air bleed" type of add—on device. The results of the above tests indicated the amount of air bleed allowed by the device was insignificant and consequently no adverse effect on exhaust emissions was detected in the above emission tests. The 1977 vehicle emission control systems are basically the same as the 1975 systems except for some vehicles which are equipped with mechanisms that make the engine extremely sensitive to air fuel mixture variations. These new systems include the Chrysler‘s Electronic Lean Burn System (ELB), Volvo‘s Three—Way Catalyst, and Bosch Jetronic Fuel Injection Systems. It is our judgement that the installation of the "Ball—Matic‘" device on the vehicles equipped with the above new exhaust emission control systems could adverse]y affect the engine performance and operation.

Evaluation of the Ball—Matic Corporation "Ball— Matic Air Injector" Device for Compliance with the Requirements of Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code November 5, 1976 B. Manufacturer‘s Claims Exhibit C is a copy of the manufacturer‘s advertised claims on the device. The claims include "Gas saving up to 20%", "New found power, effortless cruising", "A cleaner more efficiently running engine with less carbon build—up". The staff believes the installation of the device will not provide the benefits claimed. On a typical small size engine the amount of air bleed allowed by the device is less than 1% of the air flow at all operating conditions. These air bleed rates will not significantly effect the air fuel ratio or manifold vacuum. In addition previous emission tests by the ARB Laboratory did not show significant improvement in the fuel economy of the vehicles tested when the "Ball—Matic‘ device was installed. The applicant could not substantiate the above claims except for testimonial letters which were not supported with engineering data. The applicant was notified by letter dated November 4, 1976 of ARB findings regarding the advertised benefits of the device. This letter also requested him to delete the afore— mentioned claims from the advertisement of the "Ball—Matic‘" device.

Evaluation of the Ball—Matic Corporation "Ball— Matic Air Injector" Device for Compliance with the Requirements of Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code November 5, 1976 IV. Conclusion and Recommendation Evaluation of the "Ball—Matic" device showed that the installa— tion of the device on most 1977 vehicles will not adversely affect the exhaust emission control system. Therefore the staff recommends that the Ball—Matic Corporation be granted an exemption from the prohibition of MVC Section 27156 for 1977 and older vehicles except for those vehicles equipped with: (1) Chrysler‘s Electronic Lean Burn System (2) Volvo‘s Three—Way Catalyst (3) Bosch Jetronic Fuel Injection Systems

State of California AIR RESQURCES BOARD September 19, 1977 Evaluation of the Ball—Matic Corporation "Ball—Matic Air Injector" Device for Compliance with the Requirements of Section 27156 of the — California Vehicle Code Introduction The'Béi]-Mafic:Corporation,of 1429 Palo Loma, Orange, California 92669 thas submitted an application requesting an extension of a previously granted exemption from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code for the "Ball—Matic Air Injector" for the 1978 and ofder model year vehicles. Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code prohibits the advertisement, sale and instai1ation of any device or mechanism which reduces the effectiveness of the motor vehicle emission control system. The Air Resources Board (ARB) staff had evaluated this device previously (Staff Report dated November 5, 1576) and'found the device had no adverse effects on the emission control system. Executive Order O—9—4 was issued on November 29} 1976 to Ball—Matic Corporation for its "Ball~Matic Air Injector" for 1977 and older model—year véhicles. The _ applicant has requested that this exemptfon be extended to include the 1978 mode] year vehicles. (Exhibit A).

11. System Description and Function The "Ball—Matic‘" device consists of a filter, plastic ball, spring, and a metal housing with parts used to insert the device between the PCV valve and carburetor. The name "Ball—Matic Air Injector" is printed on a durable Tabe] pasted to the bottom of the device housing. According to the applicant, this device is designed to improve fuel economy and engine performance. The device has a modq]ating poppet which meters the quantity of air bleed into the engine. Engine manifu]d vacuum determines fhe degree of poppet opening. Maximum air flow (1.5 SCFM) occurs at low vacuum {~3 in. Hg, high speed and wide open throttie) and minimum flow (0.1 SCFM) occurs at high vacuum (~18 in. Hg, idle and deceleration}. When the engine is not operating, the poppet is in the open position. 111. System Evaluation , The applicant states that there is no change in the unit or its application. .CVS—75 emission tests made by the ARB laboratory on a 1975 Pinto, a Yega and a Datsun did not show a significant increase in emissions. (Reference ARB Report titied Evaluation of the Ball—Matic Air Injector Device for Compifance with the Requirements of Section 27156 of the California _ Vehicle Code dated September 10, 1975) the vehicles chosen all had small engines since these are most susceptible to the "air bleed" type of add—on devices. The emission results of these tests are as follows:

Vehicle Emisstons (grams/mile) Fuel Economy miles/gal Baseline With Device Baseline With Device mC cCO Nox C co Nox: 1975 Ford Pinto (1) 0.3 2.6 2.0 0.3 2.6 2.1 18.0 17.8 — (2) 0.2 2.4 1.1 0.2 3.0 1.1 13.6 14.7 (2) 0.2 2.9 1.0 0.3 3.7 1.0 13.8 13.8 1975 Datsun 0.3 3.0 2.0 0.3 1.5 1.7 20.1 22.2 1975 Vega 0.4 6.9 1.6 0.5 6.2 I1.6 17.2 17.0 Overall Averages 0.3 4.0 1.5 0.3 3.4 1.5 16.5 17.1 (1) License #194LVF (2) License # 195LVF (2 tests) These results are within experimental variations although some anomaites were apparent. The average of all available data indicated there was no significant effect on emissions with the device. Bench flow tegts on the valive showed a max%mum flow rate of 0.1 cubic feet a minute for 18 inchés mercury vacuum and 1.5 cubic feet a minute for 3 inches mercury vacuum. The ARB staff felt that there—was no need to run bench flow or emission tests ofi the device since the device flow characteristics were found to be identical when it was tested a seéond time. (Reference ARB Report titled "Evaluation of the Ball—Matic Corporation". "Ball—Matic Air Injector" Device for Compliance with the Requirements of Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code dated November 5, 1976}. The amount of air bleed allowed by the device was insignificant and con— sequently no adverse effect on exhaust emissions was detected in the above emission tests.

The 1978 vehicle emission control systems are basically the same as the 1977 systems except for some vehicles which are equipped with mechanisms that make the engine extremely sensitive to air fuel mixture variations. These new systems include the Chrysler‘s Electronic Lean Burn System (ELB), Volvo‘s three—way Catalyst, and Bosch Jetronic Fuel Injection System and the Variable Venturi Carburetor System. It is the staff‘s judgment that the installation of the fiBall-Matic" device on the vehicles equipped with the above new exhaust emission control systems could adversely affect the engine performance and operation. IV. Manufacturer‘s Claims The staff believes the installation of the device will not provide the . fuel economy claims. On a typical small size engine the amount of air bleed allowed by the device is less than 1% of the air flow at all operating conditions. These air bleed rates will not significantly affect the air—fuel ratio or manifold vacuum. In addition prevfous emission tests by the ARB Laboratory did not show significant improvement in the fuel economy of the vehicles tested when the "Ball—Matic" device was installed. (Reference ARB Report titled "Evaluation of the Ball— Matic Corporation "Ball—Matic Air Injector" device for Compliance with the Requirements of Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code dated November 5, 1976.) Conclusions and Recommendations The staff is of the obinion that the installation of this devfce would not affect the performance of the emission control system.

Therefore the staff recommends that the "Ball—Matic" Corporation be granted an exemption from the prohibitions of MVC Section 27156 for 1978 and older vehicles except for those vehicles equipped with: 1) Chrysler‘s Electronic Lean Burn (ELB) System 2) Volvo‘s three—way catalyst , 3) Bésch Jetronic Fuel Injection Systems 4) Variable Venturi Carburetor Systems The staff therefore recommends adoption of Executive Order D—9—5.

System Description and Function The "Ball—Matic"‘ device consists of a filter, plastic ball, spring, and a metal housing with parts used to insert the device into the PCV Tine. The name fiBa11-Matic Air Injector" is printed on a durable label pasted to the bottom of the device housing. According to the applicant, this device is designed to improve fuel economy and engine performance. The device has a modulating poppet which meters a quantity of air bleed into the engine. Engine manifold vacuum determines the degree — of poppet opening. A valve pruchased by the Air Resources Board in \ the open market showed a maximum air flow of (1.0 SCFM) at 7 in. Hg. vacuum and no flow above 7 in. Hg. vacuum (see flow curve). As the vacuum decreases below 7 in. Hg. vacuum the air flow decreases very rapidly. III. System Evaluation The applicant states that there is no change in the unit or its application. CVS—75 emission tests made by the ARB laboratory on a 1975 Pinto, a Vega and a Datsun did not_show a significant increase in emissions. (Reference ARB Report titled Evaluation of the Ball—~ Matic Air Injector Device for Compliance with the Requirements of Section 27156 of fihe Calffornia Yehicle Code dated September 19, 1975) The vehicles chosen all had small engines since these are most sus— ceptible to the "air bleed" type of add—on devices. The emission results of these tests were as follows:

The average of all available data indicated there was no significant effect on emissions with the device. in order to update the previous report, the Air Resources Board purchased a valve in fhe open fiarket. Bench flow tests on this vaive showed a maximum flow rate of 1.0 cubic feet a minute for 7 inches mercury vacuum and no fldw above 7 inches mercury vacuum. The ARB staff felt that there was no need to run emission tests on the device since the device flow characteristics would have no significant effect on emissions. Attached is a table showing air flows at various modes for different sized engines {column 4). FSince the greatest effect of this valve would be on small engines, the data forlthe 0—140 cubic inch engines will be considered. At 7 inches of mercury vacuum the air flow would be approximately 18 cubic feet per minute or .073 lbs per cubic ft x 18 equals 1.3 lbs. of air. Assuming an air fuel ratio of 14.5, this will give .09 lbs. of fuel. With this device we would have 19 cubic feet of air or 1.387—lbs. of air. Divided by .09 lbs. of fuel

gives 15.4 air fuel ratio. Since the air flow decreases very rapidly at vacuums below 7 in. of Hg. vacuum, the effect of the air—fuel ratio change on a CVS—75 test would be negligible. In addition, in many vehicles the power jet is activated at these vacuums and this would tend to eliminate any effect of the additional air. This is also true for the Chrysler lean burn engines and the staff is of the opinion that the effect would also be negligible. The 1979 vehicle emission control systems are basically the same as the 1978 systems including some vehicles which are equipped with ° mechanisms that make the engine extremely sensitive to air—fuel mix— ture variations. These new systems include VaTvo‘s.three-way catalyst, the Bosch Jetronic Fuel Injection System, and the Variable Vénturi Carburetor Syétem. In the absence of any contrary data, it is the staff‘s judgment that the installation of the "Ball—Matic" device on the vehicles equipped with thé above exhaust emission control systems could adversely affect the engine performancé and operation. IV. Manufacturer‘s Claims The staff believes the installation of the device will not provide the fuel economy claims. On a typical small size engine the amount of air bleed allowed by the device is negligible at‘operating conditions above 7 in. Hg vacuum. At less than 7 in of Hg. vacuum the power jet is usually in operation which enriches the air fuel mix. The small amount of additional air would not significantly effect the air—fuel ratio. In addition previous emission tests by the ARB

Laboratory did not show significant improvement in the fuel economy of the vehicles tested when the "Ball—Matic" device was installed. (Reference ARB Report titled "Evaluation of the BalT—Matic Corproation "Ball Matic Air Injector" device for Compliance with the Requirements of Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code dated November 5, 1978). _ Conclusions and Recommendations The staff fs of the opinion that the installation of this device would not affect the performance of the conventional emission control system ‘ and therefore recommends that the "Ball—Matic" Corporation be granted an exemption from the prohibitions of MVC Section 27156 for 1979 and older vehicles except for those vehicles equipped with: 1. Three—way catalyst with feed back system. 2. Bosch Jetronic Fuel Injection Systems. 3. Vafiab1e Venturi Carburetor Systems. The staff therefore recommends adoption of Executive Order D—9—6.
