The Mitsubishi logo is one of the easily recognizable automobile emblems. If you see it, you can immediately tell that it is Mitsubishi. A flower is formed from the three rhombus or diamond-shaped figures. Some people would imagine it as inspired by the ninja shuriken, but the real inspiration for it is the water chestnut. The first Mitsubishi company was a shipping firm which was established in 1870 by Yataro Iwasaki. Mitsubishi is actually a combination of two words, namely, “mitsu” which means three and “bishi” which means water chestnut. Hence, the familiar Mitsubishi logo is comprised of three rhombus figures arranged to from a flower. The Mitsubishi Catalytic Converter, on the other hand, is of more recent history than the Mitsubishi logo. The Mitsubishi Catalytic converter is a product of engineering ingenuity rather than poetic sense. It is more inspired by environmental concerns than mere aethetics.
Generally speaking, a catalytic converter, like the Mitsubishi Catalytic Converter, is a device that is part of the vehicle exhaust system which main purpose is to eliminate pollutants in the exhaust. The common pollutants in the exhaust gases include nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and lead oxide. These pollutants are produced if there is an imbalance in the ideal fuel/air ratio. This ideal fuel/air ratio is termed as stoichiometric ratio which differs from one type of fuel to another. No mater how, the automobile computer adjusts the fuel injection and air intake, pollution is still created in certain situations. One such situation is when the oxygen sensor of the exhaust system sends the wrong information. Fuel and air mixture will inevitably be affected, creating an imbalance. It is during such situations that the catalytic converter serves its purpose.
Unlike a throttle body spacer or an engine header, the catalytic converter does not improve the combustion efficiency of the engine. What a catalytic converter does is chemically treat the exhaust gases that exit the exhaust manifold. In a way, a catalytic converter chemically filters the exhaust gases so that the pollutants may not be released to the atmosphere. A catalytic converter is specifically designed to filter unburned hydrocarbons or volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide.
Inside the catalytic converter are two types of catalysts, namely, reduction catalysts and oxidation catalysts. These catalysts are metal catalysts that are coated on a ceramic surface inside the catalytic converter. The typical metal catalysts used in a catalytic converter are platinum, rhodium, and/or palladium. Since these metal catalysts are very expensive, the main idea behind the coated ceramic surface is to maximize the surface area exposure of the catalysts while minimizing the amount of catalysts used. To maximize the surface area, the ceramic surface is constructed as a honeycomb structure. Here at Partstrain, we guarantee the highest quality of product without making you broke.
