Good ‘Catalytic Converter’, protect the atmosphere
Vehicles produces exhaust gases which are harmful to Ozone layer as well as our atmosphere during the process of combustion of petrol or diesel and pass them out the back of the vehicle. The catalytic converter is the most common device used to lessen the toxicity of exhausting gases. Modern cars come with catalytic converter and you can see it at the exhaust manifold on the engine.
These gases include pollutant elements such as,
*Hydrocarbons
*Carbon Monoxide
*Nitrogen compounds
Do you know how the catalytic converter reacts with these gases and purify them into nature friendly?
The catalytic converter has some materials such as Palladium, rhodium and platinum mixture, when the gases passing over that mixture it separated into natural safe elements.
EG: Carbon Monoxide Carbon dioxide +Water
CO3 CO2 + H2O
There are two types of catalytic converters. Both of them are advanced methods.
1. Bead version – ceramic beads coated with material mixture found in a chamber. They activate with the vehicle movement.
2. Honeycomb version– catalytic converters with multiple honeycombs coated with material mixture.
If catalytic converter is malfunctioning, the pollutants releasing from your vehicle will increase the air pollution.
How do you know your catalytic converter need to replace?
1. Rusted catalytic converter
2. Substrate rusted and breaks in to small pieces some areas of exhaust system
3. Rattle sound.
4. Dark black smoke.
Do you know?
-If your engine runs cleanly catalytic converter need not to work hard, because the exhaustion contains fewer hydrocarbons.
-When your engine become less efficient with the time catalytic converter need to work hard because the exhaustion contains much hydrocarbons.
-Releasing more pollutants makes catalytic converter work hard, become clogged and over heat, lessens its efficiency and led to replacing.
Most of state regulations set emission standards to motivate vehicle owners to keep their catalytic converter in good condition. It minimizes the air pollution. If you have good quality catalytic converter, you shouldn’t worry about passing the emission test of the state. Your car will function properly.
