Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is catalytic converter production, three-way, 19.1l. The reference product is catalytic converter, three-way, 19.1l. 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 20000 operating hours. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
