CONVERTER

DESCRIPTION

The

catalytic
converter
accelerates

the
chemical
reaction
of

hydrocarbons

HC
and
carbon
monoxide
CO
in

the

exhaust

gas
and

changes
them
into

non
harmful

carbon
dioxide

C02

OPERATION

Exhaust

gas
emitted

from
the
en

gine
contains

some
harmful
substances

due
to

incomplete
combustion
in
the

combustion
chamber
The

air

injection

system
is

designed
to

reduce
the
con

tent
of
such
substances
in

the
exhaust

gas
In

this

system
the

secondary
air

is

led
from
the
check
valve

and

injected

into
the

exhaust
manifold

With
this

injection
of
the

secondary
air
