WHAT IS CATALYTIC CONVERTER ?

A Catalytic Converter is an exhaust emission control device that converts toxic gases and pollutants in exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine into less-toxi pollutants by catalyzing in a Redox Reaction.
 

WHAT IS INSIDE A CATALYTIC CONVERTER ?

The catalyst inside a catalytic converter is made typically from platinum or a similar metal, such as rhodium or palladium. Gases flow through a ceramic honeycomb structure located within the cat housing. This is lined with metals that have specific jobs that play a role in reducing emissions. There are two main types of catalysts that might be featured in a car:
Reduction catalysts: Help reduce nitrogen oxide pollution by removing oxygens. Nitrogen oxides are broken up into nitrogen and oxygen gases, which on their own are harmless.
Oxidation Catalysts: Used to change carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide through an opposite process of adding oxygen.
 
Also located near the catalytic converter is an oxygen (O2) sensor, which works to tell a car’s electronic control unit (ECU) how much oxygen is found in the exhaust gases. This helps a vehicle run on a more efficient air/fuel ratio, allowing the engine to supply the converter with enough oxygen to complete the oxidation process. 

WHY CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEED TO BE CLEANED ?

Overtime, depending upon the quality of fuels and usage, Catalytic Converters get clogged with deposits that need to be cleaned.
If they are not cleaned then following Faults may occur
    • Declining Fuel Efficiency
    • Check Warning Light
    • Smelling Rotten Eggs
    • Issues Starting the Engine
    • Poor Acceleration

Moreover user may have to buy a new Catalytic Converter which is Quite an Expensive Job.
