Which Vehicles Are Equipped with Three-Way Catalytic Converters?
1 Answers
Vehicles meeting the China National II emission standards are equipped with three-way catalytic converters. Below are detailed introductions about three-way catalytic converters: 1. Function: The primary role of a three-way catalytic converter is to oxidize and reduce three harmful gases—CO, HC, and NOx—into non-toxic and harmless substances such as water (H₂O), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), and oxygen (O2). 2. Symptoms of Failure: When a vehicle's three-way catalytic converter malfunctions, it is often accompanied by the illumination of the engine warning light, increased fuel consumption, reduced power, poor exhaust flow, engine carbon buildup, and aggravated tailpipe pollution.
