Land Rover Catalytic Converter

The Land Rover upholds a global promise to help preserve the environment every Land Rover owner explores. They are working on to improve the environmental performance of their vehicles while enhancing their breadth of capability but making sure that its impact on the environment is smaller by reductions in both fuel consumption and CO2. Land Rover knows how important it is to follow the standard set by EPA in the emission level that’s why they have a catalytic converter in each Land Rover car.

A Land Rover catalytic converter treats the exhaust before it leaves the car and cleans it to make sure no harmful and poisonous substance comes out. The three way catalytic converter is equipped on Land Rover cars and trucks where the three-way pertains to the three harmful pollutants that go with the main and not so harmful emissions. Harmful emissions are the carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the nitrogen oxides (NOx). These by-products of combustion are said to contribute to smog and acid rain. The catalysts in the catalytic converter are the reduction catalyst where the platinum and rhodium helps to reduce the NOx emissions, and the oxidation catalyst where the unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide are burned (oxidizing) over platinum and palladium catalyst. The oxygen sensor then tells the computer the amount of oxygen which can be adjusted thru the air and fuel ratio.

No matter how good your Land Rover catalytic converter is, it can also stop functioning well. It can get clogged or overheat and suffer a meltdown. In cases like this, visit our online store where you can get the best deals in town. Direct fit Land Rover catalytic converters are available at great prices. No welding, no drilling, no modifications needed.
