State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EVALUATION OF BAE TURBOSYSTEMS‘ EGR RESTRICTOR PLATE FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VEKICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE November 15, 1983

Issue Date: November 15, 1983 EVALUATION OF BAE TURBOSYSTEMS‘ EGR RESTRICTOR PLATE FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE by Mobile Source Division State of California Air Resources Board 9528 Telstar Avenue El Monte, CA 91731 (This report has been reviewed by the staff of the California Air Resources Board and approved for publication. Approval does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of the Air Resources Board, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommedation for use.)

summary BAE Turbosystems has applied for exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for an EGR restrictor plate. The restrictor plate, BAE part number 31005, has been approved for installation on 1983 model—year Executive Coach Builders, Inc.‘s Lincoln Town Car 21" Limousine powered by a Ford Motor Company 302 cubic inch displacement fuel injected engine under Air Resources Board‘s Executive Order A—248. BAE requested that the restrictor plate also be approved for installation on 1981 and 1982 California—certified Allen Coach Works, Inc.‘s Lincoin Timousines powered by a Ford Motor Company 302 cubic inch displacement fuel injected engine, provided that the limousine‘s curb weight will not exceed 4,980 Tbs. (certification test weight of 5,500 Tbs.) and that the lTimousine‘s body was not elongated more than 40 inches. BAE has submitted data from cold—start CVS—75 emission tests. The tests were performed on a 1983 Lincolin Town Car limousine. Comparative tests consisted of baseline with the Timousine in the stock configuration (no EGR restrictor plate), and modification (with the EGR restrictor plate installed). Emission test results submitted by BAE indicate that the restrictor plate, as designed and installed on the test vehicle, will not have an adversé effect on exhaust emissions from vehicles for which exemption is requested. Based on the above, the staff recommends that BAE Turbosystems be granted an exemption as requested and the Executive Order D—97—22 be issued.

EVALUATION OF BAE TURBOSYSTEMS‘ EGR RESTRICTOR PLATE FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VEKICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE I. INTRODUCTION BAE Turbosystems, of 3032 Kashiwa Street, Torrance, California 90505, has applied for exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for an EGR restrictor plate. The restrictor plate, BAE part number 31005, has been approved under Air Resources Board Executive Order A—248 for installation on 1983 model—year Executive Coach Builders, Inc.‘s Lincoin Town Car 21" Timousine with a curb weight of 4,980 1bs. and powered by a Ford Motor Company 302 cubic inch displacement fuel injected engine. BAE requested that the restrictor plate also be approved for installation on 1981 and 1982 California—certified Lincoln limousines manufactfired by Allen Coach Works, Inc. BAE has submitted data from cold—start CVS—75 emission tests. The tests were performed by Fairway Environmental Engineering in Torrance, California, on a 1983 Lincoln Town Car Timousine. Testing consisted of baseline with the limousine in the stock configuration ({no EGR restrictor plate), and modification (with the EGR restrictor plate installed). II. CONCLUSION Emission test results submitted by BAE indicate that the EGR restrictor plate, as designed and installed on the test vehicle, will not have an adverse effect on exhaust emissions from vehicles for which exemption is requested. III. RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the above conclusion, the staff recommends that BAE Turbosystems be granted an exemption as requested and that Executive Order D—97—22 be issued.

IV. EGR RESTRICTOR PLATE DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION BAE‘s EGR restrictor plate is designed to be inserted between the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) EGR valve base and intake manifold. The restrictor plate is manufactured of 1/4 inch steel stock and contains four holes: two for mounting screws and two for exhaust gas flow. The diameter of the intake hole on the plate (for flowing gases into the EGR valve) is of identical size as the EGR valve (3/4 inch), however, the effective outlet diameter of the EGR valve body for exhaust gas recirculation is reduced from 3/4 inch to 3/8 inch (50%) by the restrictor plate. The effective outlet flow area is reduced from 0.44 square inch to O.11 square inch (75%) by the smaller diameter exhaust hole. The restrictor plate, according to BAE, will reduce EGR flow rate at any valve opening and vacuum signal to the valve compared to the OEM design of the vaIve. This reduction in EGR flow is needed, according to BAE, in order not to increase CO emissions due to vehicle body eTongation and increase in vehicle weight when converting the sedan vehicle into a limousine. V. EVALUATION A 1983 California—certified limousine converted by Executive Coach Builders, Inc. and powered by a Ford Motor Company 302 CID fuel injected engine was used for the evaluation of the restrictor plate. The certification dynamometer test parameters of 5,500 Tbs. and 14.5 hp were used. Comparative tests were run with the Timousine in the stock (no EGR restrictor plate}), and in the modified ({with the EGR restrictor plate installed) configurations. A summary of the test results is tabulated in the Appendices.

VI. DISCUSSION The test results indicate that HC and CO emissions are reduced with the installation of the EGR restrictor plate, while NOx emissions remain unchanged. This reduction in HC and CO emissions can be attributed to reduced throttle angle required with the EGR restrictor plate, in order to maintain any speed, compared to the vehicle without the restrictor plate; thus leaning the fuel charge and reducing HC and CO emissions. Since the engines, manufactured by Ford Motor Company, used in the 1983 Executive Coach Builders, Inc.‘s limousines are carry—overs {identical engine designs) as the ones used in the 1981 and 1982 Allen Coach Works, Inc.‘s limousines, the staff is of the opinion that the BAE EGR restrictor plate will have the same degree of performance/emissions impact on the 1981 and 1982 Allen Coach Works, Inc.‘s limousines as on the 1983 Executive Coach Builders, Inc.‘s Timousines.
