Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is market for catalytic converter, oxidation, 20 litre. The reference product is catalytic converter, oxidation, 20 litre. This is an infrastructure, representing the product of a catalytic converter, oxidation. The infrastructure has a volumetric capacity of 20 litres. During production, the effective surfaces are coated with approximately 1.5 g (catalyst) per liter (catalysator), whereby for oxidation catalysts - assumed here - platinum/palladium with a ratio of 3:1 is used. 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 market activity.
