The development of PTX, monolithic catalytic exhaust purifiers, is outlined, and their first use for exhaust emissions control of commercial equipment is described. The main use of PTX converters is on forklift trucks. The purification achievable with PTX-equipped fork-lift trucks under various operational conditions is discussed, and examples from the field are given. During more than ten years of operation, no adverse health effects have been reported, and PTX-equipped internal combustion engines appear safe for use in confined areas.
概述了整体式催化排气净化器PTX的发展情况,并描述了其在商业设备废气排放控制中的首次应用。PTX转换器的主要用途是在叉车上。讨论了配备PTX的叉车在各种运行条件下可实现的净化效果,并给出了实际应用案例。在十多年的运行过程中,未报告有任何对健康的不利影响,并且配备PTX的内燃机在受限区域使用似乎是安全的。
