The catalyst is a clean exhaust

The protection of our environment is always necessary, and it does not matter whether you are walking or driving. In order to ensure a clean and compliant exhaust, there is a certain detail in the car. The catalyst is the same component of the system that burns down the mixture of gases and, as a result, produces pure vapors.

What does he represent? Firstly, it has a ceramic honeycomb part. With its help, the area where the exhaust contacts the surface covered with a platinum-iridium alloy increases. Further, contact occurs with the catalytic layer, the gas residues meet with oxygen and burn out, resulting in the necessary concentration.

It is worth noting that in the Russian environment the catalyst for fuel is almost tortured, since gasoline produced in our country contains considerable shares of tetraethyl lead, which very quickly leads to deterioration in the operation of these devices.

The catalyst is a kind of obstacle for the precise actions of the engine. But do not take it hostile. When this part is clean and not clogged, the machine will work like a clock, but if there are any pollution, it is necessary to check the mechanism. The fact is that there is a catalyst in the muffler, and with its malfunctioning work it turns out, as if a rag was stuffed into the pipe. Therefore, it turns out that the engine simply can not cope with the volume of exhaust, which has nowhere to go.

Modern modern catalysts are worth a lot of money, but what if the replacement is necessary? On many cars this type of spare parts can be up to 4 pieces. In this case, a rescue ring can be either a flame arrester or a universal catalyst.

What is the difference between these devices? A catalyst is a part that performs several functions. First, it burns the mixture, and secondly, it breaks the gas flows. The flame arrester is only responsible for the second ability, but its installation in Russia is allowed. When choosing such a catalyst substitute, it is worth considering the volume of the engine. On a machine with a motor of less than 2 liters, simple flame arresters are installed, but over this mark, individual parts will be needed. They are created on the basis of the catalyst itself and have noise insulation, which allows the car to move in a normal rhythm.

Many drivers complain about the knocking of the car when driving, which starts to be heard from under the seat, but do not understand its root cause. It's pretty simple. When honeycombs that are made of a ceramic substance begin to burn out in the catalyst, their material eventually breaks down and falls on the walls of the housing, as a result of which, when moving, the pieces begin to actively knock on the walls of the part.

Some motorists try to re-play the silencer's environment, that is, simply cut the catalyst out of the system, and a pipe is installed in its place. This procedure does not make any sense, as this will lead to an early wear of the resonator. Therefore, make the right conclusions, because the catalyst is a necessary part of your car.
