A High Performance Three Way Catalytic Converter is an emissions control device designed to reduce harmful pollutants from the exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine. In the case of the Jaguar XF 3.0 catalyst, this specific catalytic converter is designed for the 3.0-liter engine in the Jaguar XF model and is manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications.
The Three Way Catalytic Converter works by using a combination of precious metals, including platinum, palladium, and rhodium, to facilitate chemical reactions that convert harmful exhaust gases into less harmful emissions. The catalytic converter has three sections or “ways” – the reduction catalyst, the oxidation catalyst, and the storage catalyst – that work together to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrocarbons (HC).
