Lincoln Catalytic Converter

For close to a century, the name Lincoln has been synonymous with luxury, comfort and design. They believe in the social responsibility of all auto manufacturers to ensure lower emissions and fuel efficiency. People have become aware of exhausts effect on our environment and its negative effect to our health. That is why the states and federal government have enacted laws to restrict the amount of pollution that cars can produce. In response, automakers have made innovations, utilized technology to develop refinements to engines and fuel system without compromising the cars performance. To further help in this, they have developed the catalytic converter which is supposed to cleanse the exhaust.

Catalytic converters are devices used to treat exhaust before coming out. It ensures that the harmful by-products of your engine’s combustion are converted to harmless substances. This is done through the reduction catalyst and the oxidation catalyst. What happens is that the reduction catalyst converts the nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and oxygen using the precious metal palladium and rhodium. Then in the second stage, it reduces the unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide by burning (oxidizing) them over a palladium and platinum catalyst. The oxygen sensor is the one responsible for making sure there is enough oxygen to burn the hydrocarbons and CO. The sensor also aid in the monitoring fuel-and-air ratio so that the computer can make its necessary adjustments.

Your Lincoln catalytic converter can become clogged and faulty. And when that happen it no longer becomes effective, necessitating replacement.
