Which risk increases when a catalytic converter cools?

💡 Explanation

Reduced temperature reduces the rate of reaction because of lower thermal energy and thus lower surface reaction probability which decreases catalytic performance, thus the temperature is designed to be kept very high. The lower temperature decreases performance rather than catalyst failure therefore incomplete combustion byproducts pass through.
