METHOD FOR ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE OF AN EXHAUST GAS TREATMENT SYSTEM FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES AND ENGINE APPARATUS

摘要

Method for adjusting the temperature of an exhaust gas treatment system (6) for internal combustion engines (1) including the production of steam in a steam generator (10) placed downstream of the treatment system, the heating of gases going into the said treatment system into a burner (7) placed upstream of it or their cooling in a heat exchanger (15) suitable for heating the steam produced in the generator. The method includes the use of steam for operating a steam engine (12). There is also a description of an engine apparatus, whereby the method can be applied.
