Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

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

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