Exhaust gas extraction system for an internal combustion engine

摘要

A method for potentiating the performance of an internal combustion engine. The method includes the steps of providing an exhaust extraction booster at a piston chamber of an internal combustion engine for evacuating exhaust product from the piston chamber through an exhaust exit. The piston chamber is defined within a piston cylinder having a piston head reciprocating therein. A fuel mixture is ignited within the piston chamber so that the fuel mixture burns at least partially and produces a heated exhaust product within the piston chamber. The extraction booster is placed in fluid communication with the piston chamber for drawing the exhaust product from the piston chamber toward and across the booster. An exhaust dilution inlet is also provided between the piston chamber and the booster for permitting cooling fluid to dilute the heated exhaust product before the exhaust product reaches the booster thereby preventing fully heated exhaust product from being processed by the booster.
