Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION

The three way catalytic (TWC) converter, mounted in the engine exhaust system, works as a gas reactor to convert and reduce the pollutant levels
to within legally prescribed limits.

The catalyst metals are thinly coated onto and supported by a honeycomb shaped high temperature ceramic, mounted inside the converter shell.
The result is a highly effective converter design having minimum restriction to exhaust gas flow and good durability.
