When the Air Escapes from the Petrol Engine
After the cold start, petrol engines are real pollutants because the exhaust gas aftertreatment systems are not yet fully functional. In particular, unburned hydrocarbons (HC) and the respiratory poison carbon monoxide (CO) cannot be converted in the catalytic converter, which is still cold. Additionally, after a cold start, the “greased” fuel-air mixture does not provide enough oxygen for effective pollutant reduction. To compensate for this lack of oxygen, petrol engines have a so-called “secondary air system”. more
