Three-Way Converter (TWC)
Definition:
A catalytic converter that oxidizes hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, and also reduces oxides of nitrogen emissions. Usually, it has separate chambers, the one upstream handling reduction, and the one downstream handling oxidation. The noble metals used as the catalytic agents are platinum, palladium, and, for reduction, rhodium.
