What is the Conversion Rate?

This is not about high finance, but rather pertains to your vehicle’s catalytic converter. Most of us have heard of this device, but exactly what is it?  Catalytic converters are used in exhaust systems to provide a site for the oxidation and reduction of toxic by-products. These are noxious gases such as nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons.

 

For example, a three-way catalytic converter has three functions –

1.  Reducing nitrogen oxides into elemental nitrogen and oxygen

2.  Turning carbon MONoxide to carbon DIoxide

3.  Oxidizing hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water

That all sounds environmentally friendly as well as necessary, doesn’t it? What about where to go in Topeka KS to get a fair estimate when your car’s catalytic converter needs to be replaced?
