Why are catalytic converters used?
catalytic converters are used to change the emissions of a car from carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, basically it makes fumes safer but adds to climate change. It also changes oxides of nitrogen (NoX) to safer molecules, and uses up any left over hyrdocarbons.(HC).It is used to reduce harmful emissions from the exhaust system.
What is catalytic converter made of?
catalytic converters are made of several rare metals, Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium called catalysts because they create a chemical change to your exhaust gas without going through a chemical change themselves to lower emissions. The Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen, Hydro Carbons, and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX) go through the catalytic converter and change NOx is changed to Oxygen, Hydro Carbons to H2O and Carbon Monoxide to Carbon Dioxide. Perfect catalyst change and out the tail pipe would be CO, CO2, O2, HC, and NOx --> CO2, H2O, O2
What is the function of the catalytic converters?
change pollutants into substances that are less harmful
Do you have to change all of the catalytic converters when car giving problems?
Catalytic converters are very expensive. For this reason only replace the catalytic converter if it is defective. If only one of the two are defective replace that one.
Why does the exhaust from my bronco smell bad it does not smoke or smell like a rotten egg?
The catalytic converter. They all smell, really strong may sujgest that it is going bad and needs to be replaced. Converters change the carbon monoxide to sulfur dioxide the rotton egg is the sulfur.
What do catalysts in the catalytic converters accomplish?
catalysts in the catalytic converters speed the change of co into co2 and the change of unburned hydrocarbons into co2 and h2o c: thats thee answerr maa cutesss ;DD hmuu if u need help c;
How many catalytic converters are on a 2000 Lincoln LS V6?
theres two according to my mechanic and u can not get a universal either u kinda need to get a full set from Lincoln itself. Im about to change mine and its a little pricie im lookin at 600 just the catalytic coverter
Why does burning petrol in a car engine produce carbon dioxide as well as carbon monoxide?
because the petrol reacts with the air forming sulphur dioxide. Then the sulphur dioxide goes through the catalytic converter and is then change into a less harmful gas, carbon diioxide and carbon monoxide.
How do you change catalytic converters 1999 Ford Escort zx2?
Unbolt Lambda probe, unbolt cat from rear and front system. Install new cat, install Lambda probe in new cat. done.
Change catalytic converter on zafira?
First, park your vehicle in a level place and jack it up at all 4 wheels, allow the exhaust to cool down, remove the oxygen sensor from the catalytic converters and the bolts as well. Then put the new converter in place, tighten the bolts, and screw the oxygen sensor back. Lastly, test you catalytic converter, make sure there are no leaks.
What and where is a catalytic converter on a car?
It is part of the exhaust system. It can be anywhere between the exhaust manifold and the muffler. It is usually half way between the manifold and the muffler. Some cars have two. The purpose of the converter is to change the carbon monoxide in the exhaust to sulfur dioxide. Carbon monoxide is a greenhouse gas and sulfur dioxide is not.
What are energy converters?
Energy can change its forms. Scientists developed these devices as energy converters or energy changers.
