Having a clean air has never been as important today than it was before. That s why a lot of emission control standards and laws have emerged so that emissions coming from a vehicle s engine could be controlled. In response, many car and engine manufacturers have utilized various technologies, and continue to find better ones, to make their car engines emit less harmful substances while sustaining its performance. Aside from engine redesign, the catalytic converter has also been a great help in keeping engine emissions safer.
Catalytic Converter an Emission Control Product
The catalytic converter is an emission-control product that ensures that the exhaust coming out of your vehicle is safe from harmful substances like hydrocarbons and other harmful byproducts of your engine s combustion process. It is an integral part of your car s exhaust system that is located under the vehicle and looks very much like its muffler. Every road vehicle is required to have a catalytic converter, although some are equipped with two catalytic converters.
How Does It Work
So how does a converter work? The reduction catalyst converts the nitrogen oxides into harmless emissions while the oxidation catalyst burns out the hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, all of which are byproducts of gas or fuel combustion. A sensor, also located inside the converter, would also aid in controlling the air-to-fuel ration being burned in the engine to reduce the harmful emissions produced by the engine. After going though all these processes, the exhaust that goes out of the catalytic converter is safer and less harmful.
Emission Laws Require
Present emission laws require all road vehicles to be equipped with an operational catalytic converter. Further, cars are still tested for their emission levels. So if your car s catalytic converter is already defective or clogged, it is definitely timely to replace it with a new one. You can easily notice a defective catalytic converter as it also affects the total performance of your engine as well as its fuel consumption.
