Explain with neat sketch two way catalytic converter.

C) Catalytic Convertor: -. A catalytic converter is cylindrical unit about the size of small silencer and is installed into exhaust system of vehicle. It converts the harmful gases from the engine into harmless gases and escapes them into atmosphere. Inside converter there is honeycomb structure of ceramic or metal which is coated with alumina base material and therefore a second coating of precious metal platinum, palladium or rhodium or combination of same. As a result of catalytic reaction, the exhaust gases pass over the converter substance, the toxic gases such CO, HC and NOx are converted into harmless CO2, H2 and N2. Two way catalytic converter: Through catalytic action a chemical changes converts carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (oxidation)..
