Honda Catalytic Converter

Honda Catalytic Converter

The auto industry is challenged with meeting government regulations and societal concerns by both improving current technology and creating new solutions. The response of car manufacturers to tightening standards and regulations regarding the emissions was to come up with the catalytic converter in the mid 70s. Having an operational catalytic converter is a law and an automobile emission test is done annually to check that.

A catalytic converter is an integral part of your car’s exhaust system located under the vehicle. It is an emission control device that makes sure that the exhaust coming out of your vehicle is safe from harmful substances like hydrocarbons and other harmful byproducts of the combustion process. The Honda catalytic converter contains the reduction catalyst and the oxidation catalyst. The reduction catalyst uses the metals rhodium and platinum to convert the nitrogen oxide to nitrogen and oxygen while the oxidation catalyst burns the unburnt hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide to produce water and carbon dioxide over the palladium and platinum catalyst. The oxygen sensor ensures that there is enough oxygen for this chemical reaction. 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.

Although, your Honda catalytic converter is made to last the lifetime of your car, it can still become faulty or damage and fail. Catalyst poisoning and dirt can cause it to malfunction as well as engine misfire and oil presence. Maintenance is certainly needed but if it’s malfunctioning a replacement will be best.
