Car emissions
Have you ever opened the hood of your car and wondered what was going on in there? A car engine can look like a big confusing jumble of metal, tubes and wires to the uninitiated. You might want to know what's going on simply out of curiosity. Or perhaps you are buying a new car, and you hear things like "3.0 liter V-6" and " dual overhead cams " and "tuned port fuel injection ." What does all of that mean?
How Car Engines Work"
Exhaust gas recirculation
In internal combustion engines , exhaust gas recirculation ( EGR ) is a nitrogen oxide ( NOx ) emissions reduction technique used in petrol/gasoline and diesel engines . EGR works by recirculating a portion of an engine's exhaust gas back to the engine cylinders .
A catalytic converter is a vehicle emissions control device which converts toxic byproducts of combustion in the exhaust of an internal combustion engine to less toxic substances by way of catalysed chemical reactions.
