The Role and Benefits of Three-Way Catalytic Converters

[Winifred]

The primary role and benefits of three-way catalytic converters are to oxidize and reduce three types of harmful gases into non-toxic and harmless substances such as water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and oxygen. With increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, more and more vehicles are equipped with exhaust catalytic converters and oxygen sensor devices. The specific working principle is as follows: When high-temperature vehicle exhaust passes through the three-way catalytic converter, the purifying agents within it enhance the activity of the three harmful gases, promoting their oxidation-reduction reactions. Among these, carbon monoxide is oxidized into colorless and non-toxic carbon dioxide at high temperatures.
