Definitions

  • the invention relates to a three-way catalyst and its use in an exhaust system for internal combustion engines.
  • TWC three-way catalyst
  • TWCs like other exhaust gas catalysts, typically achieve very high efficiencies once they reach their operating temperature (typically, 200° C. and higher). However, these systems are relatively inefficient below their operating temperature (the “cold start” period). As even more stringent national and regional legislation lowers the amount of pollutants that can be emitted from diesel or gasoline engines, reducing emissions during the cold start period is becoming a major challenge. Thus, methods for reducing the level of NO x and hydrocarbons emitted during cold start condition continue to be explored.
  • hydrocarbon (HC) traps including zeolites as hydrocarbon trapping components have been investigated.
  • the zeolite component adsorbs and stores hydrocarbons during the start-up period and releases the stored hydrocarbons when the exhaust temperature is high enough to desorb hydrocarbons.
  • the desorbed hydrocarbons are subsequently converted by a TWC component either incorporated into the HC trap or by a separate TWC placed downstream of the HC trap.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,772,972 discloses a hybrid system of hydrocarbon trapping material and palladium based three-way catalyst material.
