Abstract

Abstract In order to reduce the emission of exhaust gases from engines (1) by earlier actuation of the catalytic converters, a starting catalytic converter (6) is inserted into each exhaust gas line (2, 3, 4, 5) leaving the cylinder head. The starting catalytic converters (6) are de-activated by the opening of bypass ducts (8) as soon as the main catalytic converter (16) connected downstream from them has an adequate operating temperature. <IMAGE>
