The government has an emissions control legislation that mandates all vehicles in the United States to be equipped with a catalytic converter. The catalytic converter is an emission control device that dramatically converts the harmful exhaust gases into less harmful gases that is safe for the atmosphere before it is being dissipated out of the tail pipe. This is typically used on vehicles that has an internal combustion engines and are powered with gasoline such as the Chevrolet Suburban. The Chevrolet Suburban catalytic converter is a vital part of its emission system which makes its exhausts gas safer for everyone.
When the air and fuel mixture is being burned inside the combustion chambers, it produces gases that are somewhat harmful to the environment. To overcome this serious problem of polluting the atmosphere, a catalytic converter is being used and it is included in the emission system of your Chevrolet Suburban. This is typically installed between the exhaust manifold and the muffler which the exhaust gases flow though this device first before reaching the muffler and the tail pipe where it exits the vehicle’s system.
There are two kinds of catalytic converter that are used today namely 3 way catalyst and the 2 way pellet type converter. The 3 way catalyst is more efficient in reducing the risk of emitting harmful gases by which it uses several materials to convert the gases into less harmful ones. This 3 way catalytic converter has a 3 way catalyst material on its front end in which the harmful gases flow in first. Inside is a mixing chamber which the exhaust gas is being mixed with oxygen that is coming from its air inlet. The air is being forcedly impelled by an air pump to accommodate the needed air for mixing. On its rear end, an oxidation catalyst chamber wherein the air is allowed to mix with the exhaust gases before it passes into the oxidation catalyst, where it burns off all the toxic chemicals and dramatically reduces emissions.
Although the catalytic converter has been successful in reducing harmful pollutant from the exhaust gases, it needs to be inspected regularly since this may fail eventually. Neglecting to check it can cause expensive damages to the converter, and may require replacement. Symptoms of a faulty or failing converter may include failing on an emissions exam, poor engine performance, increase in engine temperature, and raising fuel consumption.
