Abstract A 1-D transient emission analysis was performed during the cold start period of the city driving 75 (CVS-75) mode for a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) vehicle to identify the optimal operating conditions of a secondary air injection (SAI) system. A commercial 1-D program, AMESim, was used to model the full exhaust system, including the SAI system, as well as a manifold catalytic converter (MCC) and an under-body catalytic converter (UCC). Next, the effects of the SAI air flow rate and the supply time on HC, CO, and NO x emissions were analyzed using the simulation model with 7-step global surface chemical reactions of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood type. From the simulated results, we found that a 29% HC reduction and a 50% CO reduction can be achieved with the SAI system under the optimal operation conditions of 1.6 g/s of air flow rate for 30 s.
