A catalytic converter is a device used to reduce the toxicity of emissions from an internal combustion engine. The processes of converting these harmful gases are reduction and oxidation. The catalytic converter which is an integral part of the exhaust system has two catalysts: the reduction and oxidation catalyst. The reduction catalyst converts the nitrogen oxides into harmless emissions while the oxidation catalyst burns out the hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, all of which are byproducts of gas or fuel combustion. Inside the honey comb structure the chemical reactions occur with the help of the precious metals platinum, rhodium and palladium. The catalytic converter is constructed in such a way that a big surface area is used so only a little amount of the expensive metals are used a s catalyst. The oxygen sensor then monitors the amount of oxygen to ensure that correct air and fuel ratio is present and enough oxygen is there to burn the unburned hydrocarbons and CO.
A rotten egg-like smell of your exhaust is a sign that your catalytic converter is damaged. Clogging on the other hand can cause its poor performance.
