Where is the Three-Way Catalytic Converter Installed?
1 Answers
It is generally installed in the first bulge of the automobile exhaust manifold, resembling a canteen-like device. The three-way catalytic converter is the most important external purification device in the automobile exhaust system, which can convert harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx emitted by automobile exhaust into harmless CO2, water, and N2. More information about the three-way catalytic converter is as follows: 1. The three-way catalytic converter is installed in the engine exhaust pipe, converting harmful gases into carbon dioxide and nitrogen through redox reactions. 2. The three-way catalytic converter is sensitive to sulfur, zinc, phosphorus, and lead. If the gasoline used is of poor quality, it may cause the converter to fail, and excessive carbon deposits in the car can also affect the catalytic effect. 3. Generally, the three-way catalytic converter is not easily damaged. If you suspect it is broken and needs replacement, carefully inspect it before making a decision. You can also try cleaning it first to see if the situation improves. If it is confirmed that the three-way catalytic converter is indeed broken, it will no longer be able to convert toxic gases, and the emitted exhaust may exceed the standard, so it should be replaced promptly.
