Thanks for the explanation.

I need to familiarize myself in detail with how a catalytic converter works over the next few days.
Until now, I was of the opinion that the polluted exhaust air flows through the catalytic converter and the filters inside it just retain certain parts of the exhaust gases.

The situation, that the catalytic converter itself ignites exhaust gases and thus generates heat, which in turn can be used, is new to me - but I'm happy to learn.
