What Is A Catalytic Converter?
A Catalytic Converter (or Cat) is an Exhaust Emissions Device located underneath a vehicle. It uses a combination of heat and precious metals to promote a chemical reaction, which breaks down harmful gases, making the emissions less detrimental to the environment.
How Does A Cat Work?
The operating temperature of a cat is between 350 to 400 degrees Celsius. Once the cat has reached this temperature a chemical reaction occurs as the exhaust gases flow through the coated monolith. The harmful gases are oxidised and converted in less harmful gases and passed out through the exhaust system.
Some Cat Facts
- Catalytic Converters have been a legal requirement on all petrol cars since 1993.
- A Cat isn't designed to get a vehicle through its MOT.
- A Cats purpose is to reduce the amount of harmful gases being released into the atmosphere!
- Silicone can be used as a sealant in front of the Cat, but never use exhaust paste.
We recommend when fitting catalytic converters that a fitting kit should be used and the instructions that come with the Cat are followed closely. Failure to do this may invalidate the guarantee.
