Can a Catalytic Converter Be Used After Being Soaked in Water?

[LaMolly]

A catalytic converter can still be used after being soaked in water. Relevant information about catalytic converters is as follows: 1. Catalytic Converter: The core component of a catalytic converter is a porous ceramic material installed in a specially designed exhaust pipe. It is called a "carrier" because it does not participate in the catalytic reaction itself but is coated with precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, palladium, and rare earth coatings. It is the most important external purification device installed in a vehicle's exhaust system. 2. Function: The catalytic converter plays a crucial role in the exhaust purification system of gasoline vehicles by converting harmful gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides into non-toxic and harmless substances like water, carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), and oxygen (O2) through oxidation and reduction reactions.
