Ever since people have been experiencing a lot of health problems because of our abuse of the environment, a deluge of federal and state laws were established. Since then, automobiles and other appliances and equipment have been following a standard level of emissions. And because of that car and engine manufacturers have used technology to improve their exhaust system without undermining the performance of the car. Another innovation that was made to help out is the
catalytic converter.
The Nissan Catalytic converter is a devise used to reduce the toxicity of emissions. These emissions are: Hydrocarbons, this class is made up of unburned and partially burned fuel and is one of the major contributors of smog; nitrogen oxides, generated from the reaction of nitrogen with oxygen and contributor to smog and acid rain; carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, pollutants that contributes to global climate change. The Nissan Catalytic Converter contains two catalysts: a reduction catalyst and an oxidation catalyst. The reduction catalyst converts the nitrogen oxides into harmless emissions while the oxidation catalyst burns out the hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. The oxygen sensor which is mounted upstream than the converter tells how much oxygen is in the exhaust so the computer can adjust the air-to-fuel ratio and make sure there is enough oxygen in the exhaust to allow oxidation catalyst to burn unburned hydrocarbons and CO.
State and federal emission law requires that every car has a catalytic converter that is functioning properly. Some state like California has even stricter emission standard so you have to be sure if your Catalytic converter is federal emission or California emission. We offer a wide selection of Nissan Catalytic Converters that have passed the strictest emission tests and guarantees that clean and safe exhaust come out of the car.
