Catalytic Converters
Catalytic converter is a way of treating exhaust gases. These convert harmful pollutants into harmless gases. A catalyst is a material that causes chemical change without entering into chemical reaction. In effect the catalyst encourages to react with each other. For example, in the HC/CO catalytic converter, the catalyst encourage5 the HC to unite with oxygen to produce H20 (water).It encourages the CO to change to CO2 (carbon dioxide). The catalyst in the NOx converter splits the nitrogen from the oxygen. The NO therefore becomes harmless nitrogen and oxygen. Figure 31-40 shows that a two way type catalytic converter that converts only HC and CO. Figure 31-40 also shows that the flow of the exhaust gas through the converter. The converter is filled with BB-shot-size metal pellets. They are coated with a thin layer of platinum or similar catalytic metal. The pellets form a matrix through which the exhaust gas must pass. As the exhaust gas flows through the catalyst produces the chemical reaction. Another type of catalytic converter must use non-leaded gasoline. If the gasoline contains lead, the lead will coat the catalyst and the converter will stop working. If this happens to the pellet type converter, there is a way to remove the old pellets and put in a charge of fresh pallets. But in the honey-comb type, the complete catalytic converter must be replaced.Please Read :
Dual bed and three way catalytic converters
There are
three general categories of catalytic converters .These are oxidizing,
reducing, and three way. The oxidizing converter handles handles HC and CO,
using platinum and palladium as the catalyst. To control NOx, rhodium is used
as a reducing catalyst. It changes NOx to harmless N2. Instead of having two
separate catalytic converters in the exhaust system, one for HC and CO and the
other for NOx, most manufacturers use either a dual-bed catalytic converter or
a three-way catalytic converter.
A dual bed
converter (Fig 31-42) is like two bead type converters in one housing with an
air chamber between them. The exhaust gas first passes through the upper bed,
reducing the Nox and oxidizing some of the HC an CO. Then the exhaust gas flows
through the air chamber to the lower bed, where the air pump is adding sufficient
air for final oxidizing of the HC and CO.
A
three-way catalyst is a mixture of platinum and rhodium (sometimes mixed with
palladium). It acts on all three of the regulated pollutants (HC, CO and Nox),
but only when the air-fuel mixture ratio is precisely controlled (Fig 31-43).
If the engine is operated with the ideal of stoichiometric air-fuel ratio of
14.7:1, the three-way catalyst is very effective. It strips oxygen away from
the Nox to form harmless water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2 and Nitrogen (N2).
However, the air-fuel mixture must be precisely controlled if thus action is to
occur. For this reason, a closed-loop fuel-metering system (either feedback carburetor
or fuel injection) must be used.
There are two types of three way catalytic
converters. They have a mesh or honeycomb (Fig 31-44) coated with catalyst. The
front section (in the direction of the gas flow) handles NOx and partly handles
HC and CO. The partly treated exhaust gas then flows through the air chamber
into the rear section of the converter. There the gas mixes with the air being
pumped in by the air pump. This is called secondary air. It puts more oxygen in
the exhaust gas to that the two way catalyst can take care of the HC and CO.

The memory foam mattress is a popular type of mattress made from a material called viscoelastic foam. This foam is designed to respond to the heat and pressure of your body, allowing it to mold and contour to your shape. Memory foam mattresses have gained popularity in recent years due to their ability to provide a comfortable and supportive sleeping surface.
