Abstract
A vehicle comprises an internal combustion engine including an engine body and a catalyst device and a carbon dioxide recovery device recovering carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust is provided. The engine body, catalyst device, and carbon dioxide recovery device are mounted in the vehicle so that relationships X1>X2 and X2>X3 stand where a distance from a mounting position of the engine body to a mounting position of the carbon dioxide recovery device is X1, a distance from a mounting position of the catalyst device to the mounting position of the carbon dioxide recovery device is X2, and a distance from a mounting position of the engine body to a mounting position of the catalyst device is X3.
Claims10
A vehicle comprising:
- an internal combustion engine including an engine body and a catalyst device configured to purify exhaust discharged from the engine body;
- and
- a carbon dioxide recovery device configured to recover carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust,
- wherein the engine body, catalyst device, and carbon dioxide recovery device are mounted so that relationships X1>X2 and X2>X3 stand, and
- wherein a distance from a mounting position of the engine body to a mounting position of the carbon dioxide recovery device is X1, a distance from a mounting position of the catalyst device to the mounting position of the carbon dioxide recovery device is X2, and a distance from a mounting position of the engine body to a mounting position of the catalyst device is X3.
A vehicle comprising:
- an internal combustion engine including an engine body, a catalyst device configured to purify exhaust discharged from the engine body, and a main muffler reducing noise of the exhaust;
- a carbon dioxide recovery device configured to recover carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust;
- a rechargeable battery;
- and
- a fuel tank configured to store fuel supplied to the engine body, wherein
- the engine body is arranged in the engine room at the front of the vehicle,
- the catalyst device is arranged further to the vehicle back side than the engine body,
- the fuel tank is arranged further to the vehicle back side than the catalyst device and below the front seats arranged in the passenger compartment space,
- the battery is arranged further to the vehicle back side than the fuel tank and below the back seats arranged in the passenger compartment space,
- the main muffler is arranged further to the vehicle back side than the battery,
- the carbon dioxide recovery device is arranged further to the vehicle back side than the battery and above the main muffler,
- a distance from the engine body to the catalyst device is shorter than a distance from the catalyst device to the carbon dioxide recovery device, and
- a distance from the engine body to the battery is longer than a distance from the battery to the carbon dioxide recovery device.
