What are the disadvantages of not having a catalytic converter?
1 Answers
The disadvantage of not having a catalytic converter is its impact on humans. Below are the relevant details: 1. Chemical reactions: The interior of a catalytic converter has no moving parts, and all cleaning operations are accomplished through ingenious chemical reactions. Inside the converter is a thick substrate with a fine grid-like cross-section, coated with precious metals such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium. 2. Catalysts: These precious metals are the actual catalysts involved in the reactions. Whether it's emissions, gasoline, diesel, or engine oil, they can react with these precious metals and quickly convert into less harmful substances, primarily nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water.
