A catalytic converter is hot on one side due to the exothermic reactions occurring within it. As exhaust gases pass through the converter, the catalytic materials (usually platinum, palladium, and rhodium) facilitate chemical reactions that convert harmful pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides into less harmful substances. This process generates heat, causing one side of the converter, typically the inlet side where the exhaust enters, to become significantly hotter than the other. Proper functioning and heat management are essential for the catalytic converter's efficiency in reducing emissions.
