Functionality catalytic converter
The catalytic converter plays a central role in minimizing emissions in a vehicle. It uses a series of chemical reactions to reduce harmful emissions that normally come out of the exhaust of an internal combustion engine. Within its structure is a ceramic or metallic honeycomb structure coated with metals such as platinum, palladium and rhodium.
These metals act as catalysts, promoting chemical reactions that convert carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and unburned hydrocarbons into less harmful substances such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water. As a result, it makes a significant contribution to reducing air pollution.
