Replacement Catalytic Converter
Replacement catalytic converter is a
device mandated by governments internationally. How strict vs. liberal the
replacement catalyic converter models are varies by the country and state. The
replacement catalytic converter is the device which manages the toxic emissions
of an internal combustion engine, hence the strong political connection.
Replacement catalytic converter units
create a chemical reaction using the byproducts of the internal combustion
engine to create other byproducts, significantly less toxic than the original
byproducts. There are 3 general types of reactions controlled by a replacement
catalytic converter - reactions involving nitrogen oxide, reactions involving
carbon monoxide, and reation involving hydrocarbons. A replacement catalytic
converter turns each of these into nitrogen and oxygen, carbon dioxide, and
water, respectively.
Some replacement catalytic converter
units can store oxygen. This is helpful if the engine is running lean. If that's
the case, the replacement catalytic converter has oxygen stored to fix the lean
oil to air ratio.
