Test and Evaluation of the American Pollution Controlled,Inc. Exhaust Emission Control Device.

摘要

The subject of this report is an examination of the extent to which motor vehicle air pollution can be reduced by the installation of an exhaust emission control device on pre-1966vehicles. A potentially suitable 'used-car'emission control device is produced by American Pollution Controlled,Inc. (APC). This report documents the installation of 50APC devices on 50uncontrolled cars. It covers the ability of Class A garages to accomplish satisfactory installations,the cost of installation,emission reductions achieved,and drivability impressions with and without the device installed. The convertibility of device manufacture from low-to high-volume production is also elvaluated.
