EXHAUST GAS CONTROL APPARATUS FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240183301 titled 'EXHAUST GAS CONTROL APPARATUS FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

Simplified Explanation

The exhaust gas control apparatus described in the patent application includes a diffusion portion that promotes a jet flow of the exhaust gas into a merging portion connected to the downstream side of the exhaust passage. Additionally, a dispersion face is formed on the inner wall of the merging portion to three-dimensionally disperse the main flow of the exhaust gas flowing linearly into the merging portion from the inlet.

  • Diffusion portion promotes jet flow of exhaust gas

Original Abstract Submitted

in an exhaust gas control apparatus for an internal combustion engine in which a catalytic converter is attached to an engine having a plurality of cylinders and a plurality of exhaust passages communicating with the plurality of cylinders, a diffusion portion that promotes a jet flow of a main flow of the exhaust gas flowing into the merging portion is provided at a merging portion connected to a downstream side of the exhaust passage. further, on the inner wall of the merging portion facing the inlet of the exhaust gas provided in the exhaust passage, a dispersion face for three-dimensionally dispersing the main flow of the exhaust gas flowing linearly into the merging portion from the inlet is formed.
