Where is the catalytic converter located on the MG6?
1 Answers
The catalytic converter of the MG6 is located at the front end of the exhaust pipe, resembling a long kettle-shaped device. Modern vehicles are all equipped with catalytic converters; only cars produced in earlier years that did not meet the National II emission standards lacked catalytic converters. Composition of the catalytic converter: The catalytic converter generally consists of four parts: the shell, vibration damping layer, substrate, and catalyst coating. The shell is made of stainless steel to prevent the detachment of oxide scales, which could clog the substrate. The vibration damping layer is composed of padding 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 padding is made of expanded mica and aluminum silicate fibers, bonded together with adhesive. The substrate is made of honeycomb-shaped ceramic material, 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.
