Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation
Three-Way Catalytic Converter
PURPOSE
Reduces exhaust emissions.
OPERATION
The catalytic converter is an emission control device added to the exhaust system to reduce hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO) and oxides
of nitrogen (NOx) emissions. The catalytic material promotes burning (oxidation) of the pollutants as the gases pass through the converter. The
gases are transformed into non-polluting gases H20 (water) and CO2 (carbon dioxide).
CONSTRUCTION
The converter incorporates a honeycomb mesh coated with three catalysts.
