Does the Honda CD5 have a three-way catalytic converter?
1 Answers
Yes, the Honda CD5 is equipped with a three-way catalytic converter. The three-way catalytic converter in the Honda CD5 is located in the first bulge of the car's exhaust manifold, resembling the shape of a canteen. Composition of the three-way catalytic converter: The three-way catalytic converter generally consists of four parts: the shell, damping layer, carrier, and catalyst coating. Shell: Made of stainless steel to prevent oxidation scale from falling off, which could block the carrier. Damping layer: Composed of padding or wire mesh padding, it serves to seal, insulate, and secure the carrier. To protect the carrier from damage caused by vibration, thermal deformation, and other factors, the padding is made of expanded mica and aluminum silicate fibers, bonded together with adhesive. Carrier: Made of honeycomb-shaped ceramic materials, though many also use metal (including stainless steel) materials. Catalyst: Composed of precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium, sprayed onto the carrier to form the purifying agent. Lifespan of the three-way catalytic converter: The lifespan of a three-way catalytic converter typically ranges between 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. The specific lifespan depends on the vehicle's usage conditions, as well as the quality of the fuel used and the driving environment.
