How does Catalytic Converters work?
Catalytic converters work by converting harmful pollutants in exhaust gases into less harmful emissions before they exit a vehicle’s exhaust system. Inside the catalytic converter, a catalyst, typically made of platinum, palladium, and rhodium, facilitates chemical reactions that change carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides into carbon dioxide, water vapor, and nitrogen. The converter’s design ensures that a maximum surface area of the catalyst comes into contact with the exhaust gases, promoting efficient conversion processes as the vehicle operates.
