Abstract

A typical closed-loop control system causes the A/F to cycle rapidly about the stoichiometrically balanced composition with a frequency of about 1 Hz. This operating condition has generated considerable interest in how the A/F perturbations influence catalyst performance compared with a non-cycled stoichiometric feedstream and how catalysts may be formulated to perform optimally in cycled feeds. The recent literature aimed at understanding the transient behavior of three-way catalysts will be reviewed here.
