Hydrocarbon Traps for the Air Intake System: Component Test Rig and SHED Test Procedure for Determining Their Efficiencies

Hydrocarbon traps in the air intake system (AIS) are a common method for controlling evaporative emissions from the air intake path.Several different systems are available, but there is no standard method for determining their efficiencies.Therefore, a component test rig for hydrocarbon traps was developed.Some optimizations were necessary to achie
