Catalytic Converters: For Diesel Engines

Diesel Exhaust Purifiers, and Catalytic Converters from Engine Control Systems, consist of either a ceramic or metallic honeycombed substrate coated with an advanced precious metal washcoat enclosed in a stainless steel housing, through which the hot exhaust gas is passed. The effect of the catalytic coating causes an oxidation of the most hazardous gases, Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Hydrocarbons (HC) to form less harmful Carbon Dioxide and water.

The ceramic series can also cause the breakdown of some of the larger soot particles thus reducing the particulate emissions.

Fitting a catalytic converter will greatly reduce the toxic effects of the exhaust gasses, and also the associated health problems caused and is an essential part of any exhaust treatment process. It is a cost effective way of improving the working environment where a diesel engine is being used.

Catalysts should be fitted as close to the engine as possible, as they operate most effectively at higher temperatures. Western Tydens can supply either a pre-made unit to fit into the exhaust line or can custom make silencers or expansion boxes with the catalyst enclosed. They are virtually maintenance free and long lasting.

Note Ceramic catalysts are more efficient at lower temperatures than equivalent metallic versions
