Apparatus for thermocatalytic neutralizing of exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine

Abstract

Abstract APPARATUS FOR THEMOCTALYTIC NEUTRALIZING OF THE EXHAUST GASES OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE COMPRISES A SEPARATION CHAMBER OF A CYCLONE TYPE, COMMUNICATING AT THE UPPER PORTION THEREOF WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD OF THE ASSOCIATED INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND ALSO COMMUNICATING AT THE LOWER PORTION THEREOF WITH THE LOWER PORTION OF A CHAMBER RECEIVING THEREINSIDE A SUPPLY OF A CATALYST, THE LAST-MENTIONED CHAMBER ALSO COMMUNICATING WITH AMBIENT ATMOSPHERE. THE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE SEPARATION CHAMBER AND THE CATALYST CHAMBER INCLUDES A HEAT EXCHANGER ASSOCIATED WITH A BURNER DEVICE FOR HEATING THE EXHAUST GASES BY MEANS OF INDIRECT HEAT EXCHANGE THROUGH TUBULAR CONVEYERS OF THE HEAT EXCHANGER. THE COMBUSTION PRODUCTS OF THE BURNER DEVICE ARE NEUTRALIZED IN AN AUXILIARY CATALYST CHAMBER. THERE IS NO FLUID COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE BURNER DEVICE AND THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD OF THE ENGINE, WHICH MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO REDUCE COUNTER PRESSURE IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD OF THE ENGINE AND IMPROVE THE STABILITY OF THE BURNER DEVICE OPERATION.
