Powertrain and EmissionControls in PassengerVehicles (contd(contd)Oxygen sensorThe reason that oxygen sensor behaves in this manner is thatthe catalytic converter is most efficient in eliminating allpollutants by oxidizing HC <strong>to</strong> CO 2 and reducing NOx <strong>to</strong> N 2when the exhaust gases indicate a s<strong>to</strong>ichiometric (14.7) air/fuelratio, indicated by the Exhaust Gas Oxygen (EGO) Sensor..Catalytic Converter is a three way catalyst which will oxidizethe Hydro carbons including CO <strong>to</strong> CO 2 and reduce the NOx <strong>to</strong>N 2 in the exhaust gases simultaneously thus removingpollutants.
