What is the importance of decanning catalytic converter for better design?

The manufacturers have introduced methods to design greater surfaces in order to regulate the emission standards. The cracks in the catalyst are reduced due to the application of measured pressure. This has become an important factor in the entire process.

What is the process?

The challenge with the manufacturers in decanning catalytic converters is really huge. The new and the thin walled catalysts are quite fragile and you will find that they are even susceptible to sudden breakage. This can happen more if an uneven pressure is applied in the process of assembling. The catalytic converters are assembled and if during this process, a localised pressure is applied, then it may lead to either a crack or the catalyst may get partially cracked. This results in lower quality of the product. As s result, the product will also reduce its yields and there will be an inferior performance. There will also be higher level of emissions.

How do the manufacturers solve?

• The designers and the manufacturers find that the I-Scan pressure mapping system is an ideal way for the manufacturing process.  This is considered to be a revolutionary product development tool especially for the designers of catalytic converters.
•  The reason for this is that it provides data that will help to determine the assembly process in an optimum way. This is mostly beneficial for the fragile catalysts and so the design of the catalytic converter is improved.
•  The process of decanning catalytic converters can save both time and money of the companies. It becomes easier for them to design as well as verify the entire process. The re-engineering costs are also reduced tremendously.

The thin film sensors are available in a wide pressure range that is reusable. This also helps to provide accurate pressure readings. The team of sales and engineering are highly qualified are supportive and help to configure each system to meet your specific needs.
