Chevrolet Catalytic Converter

With the worsening environment problem, a lot of the blame has been put on the pollution being caused by emissions from factories as well as automobiles. And so in the mid 70’s, all automobiles were equipped with a catalytic converter in response to the regulations and standards established by the federal and state governments regarding the cleaner air act.

A catalytic converter is an emission control device that ensures that the exhaust coming out of your vehicle are treated and cleanse off harmful substances like hydrocarbons and other harmful byproducts of the combustion process. As an integral part of your car’s exhaust system, it is located under the vehicle and looks very much like its muffler. The Chevrolet catalytic converter contains the reduction catalyst and the oxidation catalyst. The reduction catalyst converts the nitrogen oxide to nitrogen and oxygen while the oxidation catalyst burns the unburnt hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide to produce water and carbon dioxide, respectively. To make sure that the chemical reactions occur inside the honeycomb structure some precious metals are involved like the platinum, rhodium and palladium. The sensor is the one which aids in monitoring the air-to-fuel ratio being burned in the engine to reduce the harmful emissions produced by the engine. Thus, what comes out is a cleaner air.

Present emission laws require that all vehicles should have an operational catalytic converter. They also have to undergo an annual emission test.
