EXHAUST GAS COMPOSITION TAILORED DOWNSTREAM

Toyota researchers have developed an exhaust emission control system which varies the amount of secondary air injected into an engine's exhaust manifold and tailors exhaust gas composition for optimal performance of a three-way catalytic converter. In contrast to systems which control air/fuel (A/F) ratio ahead of the engine via variable carburetors or fuel injection, the Toyota system controls exhaust gas composition downstream of the engine, thus taking advantage of an unusually short control loop which can provide rapid oscillation of exhaust gas A/F ratio.
