2. Catalytic converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_converter

   Oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide: 2CO + O 2 → 2CO 2; Oxidation of hydrocarbons (unburnt and partially burned fuel) to carbon dioxide and water: C x H 2x+2 + [(3x+1)/2]O 2 → xCO 2 + (x+1)H 2 O (a combustion reaction) The two-way catalytic converter is widely used on diesel engines to reduce hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide ...

3. Vehicle emissions control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_emissions_control

   Vehicle emissions control is the study of reducing the emissions produced by motor vehicles, especially internal combustion engines.The primary emissions studied include hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and sulfur oxides.

   To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning in your vehicle, the CDC recommends having your exhaust system checked every year, as even a small exhaust leak results in CO buildup inside a car or truck. If ...

5. Gasoline heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_heater

   Electricity is required to heat the ignition source, with systems designed to be compatible with 6-volt, 12-volt, and 24-volt automotive and aircraft electrical systems. Most gasoline heaters produce between 5,000 and 50,000 BTU per hour. A built-in safety switch prevents fuel from flowing unless the fan is working.

6. United States vehicle emission standards - Wikipedia

   The Clean Air Act of 1963 (CAA) was passed as an extension of the Air Pollution Control Act of 1955, encouraging the federal government via the United States Public Health Service under the then-Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) to encourage research and development towards reducing pollution and working with states to establish their own emission reduction programs.

7. Exhaust gas analyzer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_gas_analyzer

   The carbon monoxide concentration in exhaust gases is closely related, and almost proportional to the air fuel ratio in the rich regions. It is, therefore, of great value when tuning an engine. Carbon dioxide emitted is theoretically directly proportional to the fuel consumed at a given and constant air fuel ratio. Less carbon dioxide will be ...
