The Nissan catalytic converter is a component of the exhaust system, designed to reduce harmful chemicals in the vehicle exhaust emissions before they pass out of the tailpipe and into the environment. There are three types of harmful emissions produced by engine combustion, which the Nissan catalytic converter is built to reduce. These are carbon monoxide, which is a poisonous gas that has no odor or color, hydrocarbons that are most often the byproduct of the evaporation of unburned fuel and contribute to smog, and nitrogen oxides, which are irritating to mucus membranes and contribute to acid rain and smog.
These chemicals are harmful to both humans and the environment, and are subject to government emissions regulations. The Nissan catalytic converter uses a ceramic honeycomb structure coated with two catalyst metals, generally platinum, with rhodium or palladium to create a chemical reaction that causes the molecules of these harmful chemicals to either burn away, or stick to the catalyst metals, sifting them from the exhaust before it is released from the system into the outside air.
The Nissan catalytic converter works best when it is hot, removing much more pollution from the exhaust. The Nissan catalytic converter is quite good at its function, removing a great deal of the pollution that was once emitted freely into the air we breathe before its invention.
