Low-Temperature Catalyst potential?
Low-Temperature Catalyst potential?
(OP)
A big obstacle for increased performance in IC engines is the need for the exhaust temperature to be high enough for the catalytic converter to operate. Because of this, we have California emmissions-compliant cars with 8.X:1 compression ratios, and the near extinction of turbocharged gasoline powered vehicles.
I read about low-temperature catalysts a while ago. Does anyone here have more information about the developement for automotive use?
This page gives a description of its use in a NASA CO2 laser-

Oh who is making a 8.0:1 compression non-turbo vehicle?
