Questions about V-type Engine with Catalyst Holder
What are the potential applications of this technology in the marine industry?
This technology could be used in various marine engines, outboard motors, and ships where exposure to water needs to be restricted to protect the catalyst.
How does the catalyst holder prevent exposure to water in the V-type engine design?
The catalyst holder is located in a merge portion where exhaust pipes are merged on the upper side of the banks, ensuring that water does not come into contact with the catalyst during operation.
Original Abstract Submitted
A V-type engine, an outboard motor, and a ship capable of restricting exposure of a catalyst to water. Cylinders where pistons operate are arranged in a V-shape, a crankshaft driven by driving of the pistons is disposed vertically, and exhaust pipes communicating with exhaust openings in the respective banks of a cylinder head and a catalyst holder that holds a catalyst in a merge portion where the exhaust pipes are merged in a site located on an upper side of the banks are included.
