Catalytic converter - three-way - 19.1l (catalytic converter production - three-way - 19.1l)

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.8. This is an infrastructure, representing the product of a catalytic converter, three-way. The infrastructure has a capacity of 19.1 liters and weighs 70 kg. Ceramic or, more frequently, metallic (as accounted for here) monoliths are used as substrates, which are coated with the precious metals platinum, palladium, rhodium and various non-precious metal oxides. During production, the catalyst is heated for approx. 5 hours at 300 °C in an electrically heated air stream. This requires 2 kW of electrical power per liter of catalyst volume is required. The lifespan is assumed to be 20'000 operating hours. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
