Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation

GENERAL DESCRIPTION (CATALYTIC CONVERTER)

The three way catalytic converter, together with the closed loop air-fuel ratio control based on the oxygen sensor signal, oxidizes carbon monoxides
(CO) and hydrocarbons (HC), also reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx).

When the mixture is controlled at stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, the three way catalytic converter provides the highest purification against the three
constituents, namely, CO, HC and NOx.
