Mazda MPV Catalytic Converter is an exhaust emission device which transforms harmful engine gases into less harmful ones before they are released through the tailpipe. The Catalytic Converter is installed in the exhaust system of Mazda and is designed to be applied in MPV-based models and directs the exhaust to an internal monolithic honeycomb substrate with precious metal catalysts including platinum, palladium, and rhodium. When carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen pass over this treated honeycomb, chemical reactions convert them into water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen, which lessen the environmental impact of normal combustion of Mazda vehicles. Other converters employ a mesh honeycomb with closely spaced mesh and others utilize ceramic beads which slows the flow of gases, allowing catalysts to have a longer reaction time, but both converters are based on the same redox reaction. Long periods of misfire, excessively rich air fuel mix, coolant or oil spills, or mechanical impact of road debris may damage the substrate, melt parts, or cover catalyst surfaces, reducing conversion efficiency. A blocked Catalytic Converter may limit the amount of exhaust flowing out, resulting in slow acceleration, rattling noise, higher exhaust temperature, a lit check engine indicator, and excessive tailpipe emissions, which could cause a smog inspection failure. Since the device inherently causes a certain amount of backpressure, any internal collapse or obstruction increases restriction and further impairs performance. Continuous monitoring of the operating conditions of the engine will be useful to retain the appropriate effectiveness of the Mazda MPV unit and ensure the vehicle applications with the corresponding level of compliance with the emissions.
