How to Solve the Problem of Exceeding Emission Limits Due to Aging Oxygen Storage Capacity of the Three-Way Catalytic Converter?
1 Answers
Replace the three-way catalytic converter or have it cleaned at a professional repair shop. Here is additional information: 1. Aging oxygen storage capacity of the three-way catalytic converter: The three-way catalytic converter fails to facilitate the chemical reaction between incomplete oxides and oxygen inside it to form complete oxides. The consequence is that emissions do not meet the standards, and fuel injection correction becomes inaccurate. 2. Three-way catalytic converter: It is the most important external purification device installed in the automotive exhaust system. 3. Function of the three-way catalytic converter: It converts harmful gases such as CO (carbon monoxide), HC (hydrocarbons), and NOx (nitrogen oxides) emitted from vehicle exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction. Since this converter can simultaneously transform the three main harmful substances in exhaust gases into harmless substances, it is called a three-way catalytic converter.
