WHAT IS A CATALYTIC CONVERTER
A Catalytic Converter (or
Cat) is an Exhaust Emissions Device located underneath a vehicle.
It uses a combination of heat and precious metals to promote
a chemical reaction, which breaks down harmful gases, making
the emissions less detrimental to the environment.
HOW DOES A CAT WORK?
The operating temperature
of a cat is between 350 to 400 degrees Celsius. Once the cat
has reached this temperature a chemical reaction occurs as the
exhaust gases flow through the coated monolith. The harmful
gases are oxidised and converted as shown in the diagram opposite.
COMPONENTS OF A CAT
A honeycomb monolith coated with precious metals (usually Platinum,
Palladium and Rhodium) is encased in a steel can. Between the
monolith and the can is matting. Upon running a cat in, this
matting expands when subjected to heat. Once expanded, the matting
holds the monolith in place.
