CATALYTIC CONVERTER FOR ENGINE EXHAUST GAS DEVICE

摘要

PURPOSE: To eliminate the necessity for an additional second catalytic converter so as to control the exhaust gas of an automobile at low cost. CONSTITUTION: A baffle 28 is added to an inlet pipe 22 and inlet volume 24 of a catalytic converter 20 to maintain separation between converging exhaust gas streams 8, 10 entering into the catalytic converter material 32. Combination of the exhaust gas streams entering the catalytic converter is thereby avoided, allowing a single catalytic converter to handle the exhaust gas components of a plurality of exhaust gas streams from an engine without overloading the catalytic converter. The related surging of un-reacted gases to the atmosphere is also substantially prevented.
