Abstract
The exhaust gases of a two-bank internal-combustion engine are guided, by way of exhaust gas collectors, to a central expansion chamber of a housing. From there, they flow through main catalysts arranged on opposite ends of the housing, before they are guided into the open air by way of end mufflers. This exhaust system provides a space-saving arrangement of all components required for an optimal emission control, and low exhaust gas back pressure, and meets all acoustic requirements.
Claims23
An exhaust system of a multi-cylinder internal-combustion engine, the exhaust gases of which are guided by means of a collector approximately centrally to a housing which has catalysts at opposite ends, all exhaust gas being led out to the open air downstream of the catalysts, wherein the collector is provided with an end piece which projects into an expansion chamber which is centrally arranged in the housing, said end piece being provided with radial openings on its lateral surface.
An exhaust system of a multi-cylinder internal-combustion engine, the exhaust gases of which are guided by means of a collector approximately centrally to a housing which has catalysts at opposite ends, all exhaust gas being led out to the open air downstream of the catalysts, wherein the collector is provided with an end piece which projects into an expansion chamber which is centrally arranged in the housing, and wherein lambda probes are arranged upstream of at least one catalyst.
