摘要: Researchers from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducted an evaluation of carbon monoxide emissions and control from gasoline-powered generators on houseboats. This evaluation is part of a series of studies conducted by NIOSH investigators during the past several years to identify and recommend effective engineering controls to reduce the carbon monoxide (CO) hazard and eliminate CO poisonings on houseboats. Emission and dispersion characteristics of side-exhausted generators and the performance of several emission control devices (ECDs) that were manufactured by Enviromarine LLC, were studied. Recently developed prototype and production ECDs were retrofitted onto gasoline-powered generators used on houseboats to reduce the hazard of carbon monoxide (CO) poisonings from the exhaust. The prototype ECD had previously been evaluated by NIOSH when it was new and had been used on a houseboat generator for approximately 3,000 hours since the previous testing. The production ECD had several modifications from the prototype and had not been previously evaluated or used.
