UN CONJUNTO DE REACTOR PARA TRATAMIENTO DE GASES DE ESCAPE DE MOTORES DE COMBUSTION INTERNA.

摘要

Exhaust gas handling system for internal combustion engines of the catalysation type is described. Basically the system consists of a housing surrounding a reaction chamber which is at least partially filled with a fibrous material. The housing is constructed of at least isolating material with the isolating layer as the internal chamber wall. The fibrous filling can be a ceramic type catalyst. In a typical application the whole housing unit complete with filling takes the place of the exhaust manifold. During cold starting, the reactor is preheated by a valve controlling the exhaust flow.
