Catalytic converter

Today’s newer vehicles come equipped with a catalytic converter. Designed to reduce emissions, the catalytic converter is an important part of your vehicle. Unfortunately, like anything else mechanical, the catalytic converter can break and fail. Luckily, you can reduce the amount of damage a failing catalytic converter causes by knowing the warning signs. So what are some symptoms that indicate your catalytic converter is failing? Here are three. 1. Reduced Acceleration and Engine Performance

Recent Trends in Catalytic Converter for Automobile: A Review Approach Abstract: Automobile Emission is the major contributor to the air pollution .A technology is needed to control auto exhaust pollution problem so as to meet the emission standards set up by government legislation and the upcoming more stringent norms. The catalytic converter is successfully utilized to control air pollution from vehicle emissions. Catalytic Converter are manufactured based on platinum, palladium and rhodium

Figure-1 shows an image of a three way catalytic converter block diagram that is comprised of two types of catalysts. Whereby these catalysts don’t take place in any reactions happening but only triggers them. The diagram shows how less harmful gases are produced to the atmosphere by the reduction catalyst and oxidation catalyst. The three way catalytic converter uses two stages to accomplish the process of reducing toxic emissions, the first stage takes place on the reduction catalyst. The second

REDUCTION OF EMISSIONS IN DIESEL ENGINES AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER IN GASOLINE ENGINES Uppu.Nagaraju1, M.V. Sirisha2 1M.Tech Student, 2 Assistant Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering DR.SAMUEL INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY MARKAPURAM-523316, PRAKASAM DIST, ANDHRA PRADESH ABSTRACT The main concern of today’s automobile industry is to reduce the amount of emissions (HC, CO, NOx) to meet stringent emission norms. These emission norms can be obtained by modification in in-cylinder

Decreasing My Ecological Footprint “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” In this report, I will outlay four different methods by which I can reduce my ecological footprint. The point could certainly be argued that one person will never make a difference, that my footprint is just too insignificant to worry about. However, just as each beach is made up of single, seemingly insignificant grains of sand, this world is made up of billions of “single” people. Working all together, a giant

A Catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of reaction by providing alternate routes for the reaction to take place/lowering the activation energy which is the minimum energy required for a reaction to happen. It does not undergo any change itself making it useful as it is recyclable and they reduce manufacturing costs. The 2 types of catalysts are heterogeneous catalysts and homogenous catalysts. Another substance, called the Inhibitor, does the opposite of a catalyst by reducing the rate

includes the exhaust header of the car, turbulence unit, catalytic converter which basically changes the chemical composition of the exhaust emission gases, resonator, muffler, tail pipe etc. However, the entire setup includes the engine, fuel tank, radiator, self starting key, exhaust system etc. Several flanges has been provided to clamp the turbulence unit in between the exhaust pipe trailing from the exhaust header and the catalytic converter. Different designs of the turbulence model unit has been

the catalytic converter. Because gasoline is not completely utilized upon combustion, many toxic gases are able to escape in the form of exhaust. A catalytic converter is a box-like device that is placed somewhere in the exhaust system between the point of exhaust release from the engine, to the actual release of the exhaust to the environment. A catalytic converter works by transforming harmful gases through a series of chemical reactions to essentially non-harmful gases. Catalytic converters have

content of pollutants in air. The need to control engine emissions was recognized as early as 1909. Due to the more strict rules and emission standards, automotive manufacturers begun to develop a treatment device for exhaust gases known as catalytic converter for their vehicle models, pollution generated from mobile sources such as automobiles contributes major air quality problems in rural as well as urban and industrialized areas in both developed and developing countries.
