Can the Three-Way Catalytic Converter Be Cleaned?

[VonElliot]

The three-way catalytic converter can be thoroughly cleaned. Here is the relevant information: 1. Reason: Due to high sulfur content in fuel or poor fuel quality, as well as stop-and-go traffic congestion where fuel does not fully combust, resulting in excessive emissions, the three-way catalytic converter can accumulate a large amount of chemical complexes after the vehicle has been driven for a period of time. 2. Three-Way Catalytic Converter: The three-way catalytic converter is the most important external purification device installed in the vehicle's exhaust system. It converts harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx emitted from the vehicle's exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. Theoretically, it is recommended to clean it every 10,000 kilometers, but depending on the driving environment and habits, the owner can flexibly adjust the cleaning frequency. If power deficiency persists after cleaning carbon deposits, cleaning the three-way catalytic converter may be considered.
