Do Motorcycles Have Catalytic Converters?
1 Answers
Motorcycles that comply with China's National III emission standards are equipped with catalytic converters. Introduction to Catalytic Converters: A catalytic converter is the most important external purification device installed in a vehicle's exhaust system. It converts harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx from vehicle exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. Working Principle: When high-temperature vehicle exhaust passes through the purification device, the catalyst in the catalytic converter enhances the activity of the three gases—carbon monoxide, HC, and NOx—promoting specific oxidation-reduction chemical reactions. Among these, CO oxidizes at high temperatures to form colorless, non-toxic carbon dioxide gas.
