Chevy Catalytic Converter - Chevy Catalytic Converters - Chevrolet Catalytic Converter

One can no longer count the number of car or trucks on the road today and together they produce a large amount of pollution. It has greatly affected our environment so the state and federal government has created the clean-air law. With one of them being the emission law. Chevrolet has made a lot of refinements in their engines and made sure that each Chevy car or truck has a Chevy catalytic converter.

A Chevy catalytic converter treats the exhaust before it leaves the car and cleans it to make sure no harmful and poisonous substance comes out. The three way catalytic converter is equipped on Chevy cars and trucks where the three-way pertains to the three harmful pollutants that go with the main and not so harmful emissions. Harmful emissions are the carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the nitrogen oxides (NOx). These by-products of combustion are said to contribute to smog and acid rain. The catalysts in the catalytic converter are the reduction catalyst which is the first stage and helps to reduce the NOx emissions by using platinum and rhodium catalyst, and the oxidation catalyst which is the second stage where the unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide are burned (oxidizing) over platinum and palladium catalyst. The oxygen sensor then tells the computer the amount of oxygen which can be adjusted thru the air and fuel ratio.
