EXHAUST SYSTEM STRUCTURE FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

Deposition of urea is prevented or reduced by a simple measure in an exhaust system structure equipped with an addition device that adds aqueous urea solution to exhaust gas. An exhaust system structure for an internal combustion engine includes an exhaust pipe connected to the internal combustion engine and an addition device located midway in said exhaust pipe to add aqueous urea solution to exhaust gas flowing in said exhaust pipe. The outer wall of a portion of the exhaust pipe on which aqueous urea solution added by the addition device impinges is in contact with the outer wall of a component of the exhaust system arranged upstream of the aforementioned portion so that the temperature of the aforementioned portion is raised.

1. An exhaust system structure for an internal combustion engine comprising:
an exhaust pipe connected to the internal combustion engine; and an addition device located midway in said exhaust pipe to add aqueous urea solution to exhaust gas flowing in said exhaust pipe, characterized in that a portion of said exhaust pipe on which aqueous urea solution added by said addition device impinges is provided with a heat receiving part that receives heat dissipated from an outer wall of a component of the exhaust system arranged upstream of said portion.
