Abatement for Low to Medium Air Volumes. Catalytic air purification is characterized by flamesless oxidation of the pollutants contained in the exhaust air at temperatures between 200 and 500°C. After the exhaust air has been heated up, the pollutants are oxidized by the catalyst to CO2 and H2O. The...

After the exhaust air has been heated up, the pollutants are oxidized by the catalyst to CO2 and H2O. The process can only be applied to certain pollutants and to exhaust air containing no dust. read less

The efficiency is can be simply defined as the ability of the convertor to purify certain amount of harmful gases to green house gases There are different types of catalytic convertors for different pollutants and the ability solely depends on the catalyst and the quantity of emmision It's easily...

Efficiency of any machine can be measured by ratio of output to the input, in case of catalytic convertor can be measured by actual volume of clean air (without so2, Nox,HC and co) in a given sample to the theoretical volume of clean air in the same size sample.

A catalytic converter is an emissions control device that converts toxic pollutants in exhaust gas to less toxic pollutants by catalyzing a redox reaction (oxidation or reduction).

Catalytic converter of two way type like Diesel engines often operate at 90 percent efficiency, virtually eliminating diesel odor and helping to reduce visible particulates (soot). These catalysts are not active for NOx reduction because any reductant present would react first with the high concentration...

just to define Efficiency , it is ratio of output to the input, in case of catalytic converter can be measured by actual volume of clean air (in a given sample to the theoretical volume of clean air in the same size

Main formula to calculate efficiency is output/input but in this case we need to see output i.e actual quantity of air purified by catalytic converter & sample quantity difference.
