It is because the catalyst in the three-way catalytic converter contains precious metals such as palladium and rhodium. These valuable metals have high worth and can be recycled and reused. Below is relevant information about three-way catalytic converters: Features: Three-way catalytic converters offer stable performance, reliable quality, and long service life. The products are widely applicable to models such as BMW, Honda, Odyssey, Audi, Passat, Santana, Hyundai, Buick, Alto, Changhe, and Jetta. Introduction: The three-way catalytic converter, installed in the automotive exhaust system, is the most important external purification device. It converts harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust, including carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx), into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction. Since this converter can simultaneously transform the three major harmful substances in exhaust into harmless ones, it is called a three-way catalytic converter.

Why Does Car Fuel Consumption Increase in Winter?

Here is an analysis of the reasons for higher car fuel consumption in winter: 1. Due to lower temperatures: In winter, the low temperatures cause the engine to maintain higher RPMs after a cold start. If the driving distance is short, the engine may not reach its optimal operating temperature before reaching the destination. Repeatedly keeping the engine at high RPMs can lead to increased fuel consumption. 2. Operational issues: If the heater is not turned off before shutting down the car the previous day, the heater will start along with the engine the next day, causing a loss of some engine heat. Sometimes, turning on the AC (compressor) at the same time adds extra load to the engine. Prolonged idling to warm up the engine not only increases fuel consumption but also leads to more carbon deposits in the engine.
