TS 16949 Euro 3 2 Inch 3 Way Catalytic Converter

Product description

Catalytic converters are devices that are found in a vehicle’s engine and help to turn toxic substances into less harmful pollutants. This can help to keep the air cleaner so that we are breathing in safe air when going about our everyday lives.

Feature

• Universal fit catalytic converter is designed to meet or even exceed OE quality and performance standards without sacrificing flow rate.
• Features heavy-duty stainless steel construction, internal ceramic substrates and catalyst coating have been carefully engineered for maximum efficiency.
• Standard 2" inside diameter inlet/outlet, 13" overall length, universal for vehicles with 2 inches outer diameter exhaust pipe. 
• Catalytic converters are backed 5 years or 50,000 miles limited warranty.
• Installing may require cutting and welding, please consider professional operation.

Application

Although catalytic converters are most commonly applied to exhaust systems in automobiles, they are also used on electrical generators, forklifts, mining equipment, trucks, buses, locomotives, and motorcycles. They are also used on some wood stoves to control emissions. This is usually in response to government regulation, either through direct environmental regulation or through health and safety regulations.

Catalytic converters require a temperature of 800 degrees Fahrenheit (426 °C) to efficiently convert harmful exhaust gases into inert gases, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor. Therefore, they are placed as close to the engine as possible.

Type: Three-way

 A three-way catalytic converter has three simultaneous tasks.

• Reduction of nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and oxygen: 2NOx → xO2 + N2
• Oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide: 2CO + O2 → 2CO2
• Oxidation of unburnt hydrocarbons (HC) to carbon dioxide and water: CxH2x+2 + [(3x+1)/2]O2 → xCO2 + (x+1)H2O.

These three reactions occur most efficiently when the catalytic converter receives exhaust from an engine running slightly above the stoichiometric point. Three-way catalysts are effective when the engine is operated within a narrow band of air-fuel ratios near stoichiometry, such that the exhaust gas oscillates between rich (excess fuel) and lean (excess oxygen) conditions. Three-way catalytic converters can store oxygen from the exhaust gas stream, usually when the air-fuel ratio goes lean.
