What do catalytic converters do?
They reduce emissions of three harmful compounds found in car exhaust: Carbon monoxide, Nitrogen oxides, and Hydrocarbons.
Why is it important that catalytic converters start working at as low a temperature as possible?
Catalytic converters are used to reduce emissions, however they only work at high temperatures, while they are warming up they do not reduce emissions, so the quicker they are functioning, the lower the emissions will be.
How many catalytic converters are on a 2004 Jeep Liberty with a 3.7 engine?
The 2004 Jeep Liberty with a 3.7L engine has two catalytic converters. This is because the engine has two separate exhaust manifolds, each of which is connected to a separate catalytic converter. The two catalytic converters help to reduce the emissions produced by the engine, and they are located underneath the vehicle, near the exhaust system.
What devices are used in cars and trucks to reduce carbon monoxide emissions?
Catalytic converters.
What is catalytic feedback?
Catalytic feedback includes reviews of catalytic converters. A catalytic converter is fitted to your car's exhaust to reduce the harmful pollution coming from it.
What is the name of the device fitted to a car exhaust's to reduce pollution?
catalytic converters Type your answer here...
Does the catalytic converter have anything to do with transmission?
No. Its part of exhaust system designed to reduce emissions.
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 the benefits of using catalytic converters in vehicles?
The purpose of any catalytic converter is to reduce harmful emissions from the exhaust of a combustion engine. It accomplishes this through a combination of heat and a precious metal catalyst that causes the harmful emissions to either oxidize or reduce to safe elements in the exhaust flow. If the engine is out-of-tune and not calibrated to OEM specs, the catalytic converter's efficiency is greatly diminished and could lead to a converter failure. cited from http://bba-reman.com/cats.htm
What in the name of the device fitted to car exhausts to reduce pollution?
A catalytic converter is attached to the car's exhaust system to reduce emissions.
Why weren't all car problems solved when catalytic converters were first available?
Cat converters are designed to solve car problems. They're designed to reduce harmful emissions
What is a cat converter?
Catalytic converter. A device that use platinum as a catalyst to reduce unburned hydrocarbon emissions from your vehicles exhaust.
