Abstract

In this study, we investigated the characteristics of the conversion efficiency and the effect of ageing Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC). The DOC was composed of Warm-up Catalytic Converter (WCC) and Underbody Catalytic Converter (UCC). As the result, the conversion efficiency of THC was 10$\~$50$\%$ on WCC and 30$\~$40$\%$ on UCC .The conversion efficiency of CO was 80$\~$90$\%$ on WCC and remained 10$\~$20$\%$ of CO was purified on UCC. The WCC shows high conversion efficiency on CO. After 20 hours aging process of engine bench, conversion efficiencies of THC and CO were improved a little, because it was activated catalyst surface by 20 hours aging. In case of 80 hours aging, the conversion efficiencies of THC and CO were decreased on WCC. However, the UCC was not affected by aging process .
