TURBOCHARGED I.C. ENGINES

摘要

This invention relates to a turbocharged diesel engine in combination with apparatus for oxidizing particles in the exhaust gas emitted from the engine. The chamber of the apparatus contains at least one interstitial catalyst system made of small diameter wire on which a layer of refractory metal oxide is disposed and on which in turn the catalyst is disposed. The catalyst comprises at least one of the metals platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium or iridium. The apparatus significantly reduces the level of particulate matter and other pollutants from an exhaust gas emitted from a diesel engine.
