Power supply for the induction-heated catalytic converter

Advanced Technology Emission Solutions（ATES）Inc.是一家清洁技术开发公司，专注于内燃机后处理的重大技术进步。ATES推出并一直在开发智能感应催化转化器（SI-CAT）技术，该技术提供了一种快速、高效、经济和可控的催化转化器加热方式。虽然ATES已经通过现成的电源证明了这一概念，但它既没有技术专长，也没有资源来研究和开发满足上述要求的最佳电源。因此，与瑞尔森大学的合作将使ATES能够利用该大学在电力电子和开关电源领域的专业知识和资源。 该研究项目将弥合这一差距，并将关键知识转移到ATES，以便能够充分开发工业级感应加热催化转化器，并在新兴的巨大市场中成为主要参与者。该项目将促进创新技术的发展和成熟，其最终目标是通过减少有害排放来保护环境。此外，它将丰富加拿大公司ATES的技术知识和竞争力，使其成为下一代交通运输行业新兴和快速增长市场的主要参与者。该研究项目的目的是设计，建模，原型，并测试ATES的SI-Cat感应加热催化转化器的电源，考虑到催化转化器线圈的电气规格，以及拓扑结构，组件和电源控制的正确选择。

Advanced Technology Emission Solutions (ATES) Inc. is a cleantech development company that focuses on significant technological advancements for the aftertreatment of internal combustion engines. ATES introduced and has been developing a smart induction catalytic converter (SI-CAT) technology which offers a fast, efficient, cost-effective, and controlled way of heating a catalytic converter. Although, ATES has proven the concept through off-the-shelf power supplies, it has neither the technical expertise nor the resources to research and develop an optimum power supply that fulfills the aforementioned requirements. Thus, collaborations with Ryerson University will enable ATES to take advantage of the expertise and resources of the university in the field of power electronics and switched-mode power supplies. The research project will bridge this gap and transfer critical knowledge to ATES to be able to fully develop an industrial-grade induction-heated catalytic converter and to establish itself as a major player in an emerging vast market. The project will contribute to the development and maturation of an innovative technology whose ultimate goal is to help the environment by reducing harmful emissions. Further, it will enrich the technical knowhow and competitiveness of a Canadian company, ATES, in establishing itself as a major player in the emerging and rapidly growing market of next-generation transportation industry. The research project aims to design, model, prototype, and test a power supply for the ATES's SI-Cat induction-heated catalytic converter, in view of the electrical specifications of the catalytic converter coil, as well as the proper selection of the topology, components, and control of the power supply.
