CATALYST CONVERTERS CATALYST CONVERTERS A catalytic converter is a device that chemically converts harmful engine exhaust emissions into carbon dioxide and water. In a catalytic converter, the catalyst (in the form of platinum and palladium) is coated onto a ceramic honeycomb or ceramic beads that are housed in a muffler-like package attached to the exhaust pipe. The catalyst helps to convert carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. It converts the hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water. It also converts the nitrogen oxides back into nitrogen and oxygen. The converter was developed in the 1960’s to meet stringent new emission legislation, initially in America, followed by the rest of the world. Since 1975 all vehicle manufacturers have used catalytic converters, and other emission control devices, to meet the required reduced emission levels. [Details] |
FOIL METAL CATALYST CONVERTER FOIL METAL CATALYST CONVERTER metallic foil catalysts, high-strength, heat resistant corrugated foil is wound into a cylindrical shape. The cylinder is then wrapped with a layer of non-corrugated foil that is brazed to the cylinder to hold the cylindrical shape. The foil structure is then coated with our proprietary NANO catalytic wash coat. Our high-tech NANO wash coat enables us to meet OBD II requirements* despite larger cell size and reduced surface area. The resulting structure has 200 cells per square inch compared to 400 cells per square inch for a typical OE converter. The fewer, larger cells provide much less back pressure and better flow resulting in better horsepower and torque. The metal foil catalyst withstands extreme pressures and vibration that can crumble ceramic catalysts, and has no Interam™ matting to blow out under pressure from turbo charged and high horsepower engines.
