CATALYTIC CONVERTER
GENERAL INFORMATION
The three-way catalytic converter, together with the
closed loop air-fuel ratio control based on the oxygen
sensor signal, oxidizes carbon monoxides (CO) and
hydrocarbons (HC) and reduces nitrogen oxides
(NOx).
When the mixture is controlled at stoichiometric
air-fuel ratio, the three-way catalytic converter
provides the highest purification against the three
constituents, namely, CO, HC and NOx.
