Previous issue date: 2009-07-13 / The vehicles are the main mobile sources of carbon monoxide (CO) and unburned hydrocarbons (HC) released into the atmosphere. In the last years the increment of the fleet of
vehicles in the municipal district of Natal-RN it is contributing to the increase of the emissions of those pollutants. The study consisted of a statistical analysis of the emissions of
CO and HC of a composed sample for 384 vehicles with mechanization Gasoline/CNG or Alcohol/Gasoline/CNG of the municipal district of Natal-RN. The tests were accomplished in
vehicles submitted to Vehicular Safety's Inspection, in the facilities of INSPETRANS, Organism of Vehicular Inspection. An partial gases analyzer allowed to measure, for each vehicle, the levels of CO and HC in two conditions of rotation of the motor (900 and 2500 rpm). The statistical analysis accomplished through the STATISTICA software revealed a
sensitive reduction in the efficiency of the converters catalytic after 6 years of use with emission average it is of 0,78% of CO and 156 (ppm) of HC, Which represents approximately 4 (four) times the amount of CO and the double of HC in comparison with the newest vehicles. The result of a Student s t-test, suggests strongly that the average of the emissions of HC (152 ppm), at 900 rpm, is 40% larger than at 2500 rpm, for the motor without load. This result reveals that the efficiency of the catalytic conversion is limited kinetically in low engine speeds. The Study also ends that when comparing the emissions of CO and HC considering
the influence of the fuels, it was verified that although the emissions of CO starting from CNG are 62% smaller than arising from the gasoline, there are not significant differences
among the emissions of HC originating from of CNG and of the gasoline. In synthesis, the results place the current criteria of vehicular inspection, for exhaust gases, in doubt, leading
the creation of emission limits of pollutant more rigorous, because the efficiency of the converters catalytic is sensibly reduced starting from 6 years of use. It is also raised the
possibility of modifications in the test conditions adopted by the current norms, specifically in the speed engine, have seen that in the condition without load the largest emission indexes
were registered in slow march. That fact that allows to suggest the dismissal of the tests in high speed engine, reducing the time of inspection in half and generating economy of fuel / Os ve?culos automotores s?o as principais fontes m?veis de Mon?xido de Carbono (CO) e Hidrocarbonetos n?o queimados (HC) lan?ados na atmosfera. Nos ?ltimos anos o acr?scimo
da frota de ve?culos no munic?pio de Natal-RN vem contribuindo para o aumento das emiss?es desses gases poluentes. O estudo consistiu de uma an?lise estat?stica das emiss?es de CO e HC de uma amostra composta por 384 ve?culos com motoriza??o a Gasolina/GNV ou ?lcool/Gasolina/GNV do munic?pio de Natal-RN. Os testes foram realizados em ve?culos submetidos ? Inspe??o de Seguran?a Veicular, nas instala??es do INSPETRANS, Organismo de Inspe??o Veicular. Um analisador de gases parcial permitiu medir, para cada ve?culo, os n?veis de CO e HC em duas condi??es de rota??o do motor (900 e 2500 rpm). A an?lise estat?stica realizada por meio do software STATISTICA revelou uma sens?vel redu??o na efici?ncia dos conversores catal?ticos ap?s 6 anos de uso com a emiss?o m?dia de 0,78 % de CO e 156 (ppm) de HC, o que representa aproximadamente 4 (quatro) vezes a quantidade de
CO e o dobro de HC em compara??o com os ve?culos mais novos. O resultado de um Teste-T de Student sugere fortemente que a m?dia das emiss?es de HC (152 ppm), a 900 rpm, ? 40% maior que a 2500 rpm, para o motor sem carga. Esse resultado revela que a efici?ncia da convers?o catal?tica ? limitada cineticamente em baixas rota??es. O Estudo conclui tamb?m que ao comparar as emiss?es de CO e HC, considerando a influ?ncia dos combust?veis, verificou-se que embora as emiss?es de CO a partir do GNV sejam 62% menores do que a partir da gasolina, n?o h? diferen?as significativa entre as emiss?es de HC oriundas do GNV e
da gasolina. Em s?ntese, os resultados colocam os atuais crit?rios de inspe??o veicular, para gases da exaust?o, em d?vida, conduzindo a cria??o de limites de emiss?o de poluentes mais rigorosos, visto que a efici?ncia dos conversores catal?ticos ? sensivelmente reduzida a partir
de 6 anos de uso. Suscita-se tamb?m a possibilidade de modifica??es nas condi??es de teste adotadas pelas normas atuais, especificamente na rota??o do motor, haja vista que na condi??o sem carga os maiores ?ndices de emiss?o foram registrados em marcha lenta. De ante disso, sugere-se a dispensa dos testes em altas rota??es, reduzindo ? metade o tempo de inspe??o e gerando economia de combust?vel
