Dodge Catalytic Converter

Having a clean air has never been more important as it is today. After so many years of abusing our environment with all kinds of pollutants, we finally realized that the effect is very much detrimental to our health. The EPA then decided to establish a standard for emissions that all vehicles should regularly take and pass. Car manufacturers are continually being challenged to produce or develop new ways of pursuing that social responsibility without compromising the performance of their vehicles. How important then is a catalytic for our vehicles?

Catalytic converters are emission control devices that regulate the release of harmful by-products of combustion like hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide. The catalytic converter contains the reduction and oxidation catalyst where the toxic gases are converted to less harmful water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and oxygen. Platinum and rhodium are used as a reduction catalyst, while platinum and palladium are used as an oxidization catalyst. The chemical reaction occurs inside the honey comb structure. The oxygen sensor tells how much oxygen is in the exhaust so the computer can adjust the air-to-fuel ratio and make sure there is enough oxygen in the exhaust to allow oxidation catalyst to burn unburned hydrocarbons and CO. Having a well performing catalytic converter ensures a cleaner air.

Passing the annual emission test is very important because there is no way you can use your car if you haven’t passed it. Make sure that no lubricating oil gets inside your exhaust system and engine misfires can overheat and destroy the converter. Once it gets clogged or starts malfunctioning, then its time to replace it. You can have safe and secure online transactions for premium quality Dodge Catalytic Converter from our online store.
