Where is the catalytic converter located on the Langdong?
1 Answers
Langdong's catalytic converter is located at the front of the exhaust pipe, resembling a long kettle-shaped device. All modern vehicles are equipped with catalytic converters, only vehicles produced in earlier years that failed to meet the National II emission standards lacked catalytic converters. Composition of the catalytic converter: A catalytic converter typically consists of four main components: the shell, vibration damping layer, substrate, and catalyst coating. The shell is made of stainless steel to prevent oxide scale detachment, which could lead to substrate blockage. The vibration damping layer is composed of gaskets or wire mesh pads, serving to seal, insulate, and secure the substrate. To protect the substrate from damage caused by vibration, thermal deformation, and other factors, the gasket is made of expanded mica and aluminum silicate fibers, bonded together with adhesive. The substrate is constructed from honeycomb-shaped ceramic materials, though many also use metal (including stainless steel) materials. The catalyst consists of precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium, which are sprayed onto the substrate to form the purifying agent.
