GMC Catalytic Converter and Jeep Catalytic Converter

By: Kimberly Baker

A vehicle's exhaust system contribute to its overall performance, located here are the various components responsible for taking the exhaust away from the engine. The vital role these parts play, are what makes any vehicle run smoothly. But just because they efficiently emit those exhaust gases doesn't mean it is all good. The emission should also be less harmful for the environment. To achieve this, the vehicle needs an effective catalytic converter. For car companies like GMC and Jeep, their catalytic converters are already built in the system.

GMC catalytic converter and Jeep catalytic converter help in reducing the toxicity of the vehicles' exhaust. They basically remove harmful elements in the exhaust before they are released into the atmosphere. They do this by first keeping the air to fuel ratio very close to the stoichiometric point, which is the ideal calculation.

Most GMC catalytic converters and Jeep catalytic converters are three-way catalytic converters. This refers to the three regulated emissions they help to reduce, which are carbon monoxide, Hydrocarbons or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and Nitrogen oxides (NOx) molecules. GMC catalytic converter and Jeep catalytic converter function in three stages. The first stage is The reduction catalyst, where platinum and rhodium are used to help reduce the nitrogen oxides emissions. In the second stage or oxidization catalyst, the catalytic converter reduces the unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide by burning or oxidizing them over a platinum and palladium catalyst. The final stage is a control system that monitors the exhaust stream. It also here where the information is used to control the fuel injection system.

The and are great solutions to minimizing air pollution. Today, some car companies are also offering hybrid cars, which are powered by both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. GMC catalytic converters and Jeep catalytic converters are just alternatives, because they are either built in or installed later on.
