Can a Waterlogged Three-Way Catalytic Converter Still Be Used?

[StFelicity]

A waterlogged three-way catalytic converter can still be used. Here is some information about three-way catalytic converters: 1. Three-way catalytic converter: It refers to a catalytic device that converts harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx emitted from vehicle exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. 2. Substrate: The main component is the three-way catalytic converter, whose substrate is a porous ceramic material installed in a specially designed exhaust pipe. Precautions for using a three-way catalytic converter are as follows: 1. Damage: If the three-way catalytic converter has mechanical damage, thermal sintering, has exceeded 200,000 kilometers in mileage, or suffers from lead poisoning, cleaning will be of little use. 2. Cleaning the three-way catalytic converter: This should be done after cleaning the throttle valve, fuel injectors, and combustion chamber. 3. During cleaning: The idle speed should not be too high to avoid overheating the three-way catalytic converter. 4. Safety: The work area should be kept away from fire sources, and appropriate fire prevention measures should be taken.
