Basics
- A Device that utilizes Catalysts to reduces gaseous pollution via converting various substances into less hazardous/polluting substances
- Mainly:
- Carbon monoxide
- Nitrogen oxides
- (Unburnt) Hydrocarbons
- Mainly:
- Operating Temperature is usually "?"
- To be run correctly, they typically use an Oxygen Sensor , to keep the fuel-air ratio optimized (nice to have in two-way, neccisary for the "cycling" in three-way converters)
- Some also have various forms of air addition, and electric pre-heating
- This can help to reduce the "warm up time" or remove it completely, which can aid in reaching various Low Emission Vehicle standards
Sourcing
Automotive
- Easiest and most available
- Still should work for most use cased
- A ~179 USD Inline Device
- Inline is probably the best due to no need to cut up to "fit"
- Also it may not do NOx converssion which is the main ose use, as CO SHOULD be burnt and/or nonexistent
- There also cheaper ~50 USD, and more expensive ~250 USD models
Wood Stoves
- It seems some commercial stoves have Catalytic Converters as well
- "Midwest Hearth Wood Stove Catalytic Combustor Replacement Catalyst Dutchwest Englander (6" x 2" Round Ceramic) " (~139.95 USD)
Internal Links
- DEF
- [[Catalytic Converter Combined Cycle
- Or something similar? Essentially use the heat of the catalytic converter to aid in the combined cycle aspect? Added insulation around that "zone" and heat exchange optimization may be promising?
External Links
- The Wikipedia Page on Catalytic Converters
- A Video by the Youtube Channel "Warped Perception" Titled "See Through Catalytic Converter" (they may not have used Fused Quartz Glass and thus it shattered? Either way it would make a great demo peice)
