Abstract

Experimental studies were performed to understand the flow characteristics in the exhaust system and improve the THC emission characteristics by optimizing the flow in the exhaust manifold and CCC in a SI engine. For this purpose, the flow characteristics in the exhaust systems with two types of exhaust manifolds(STD and New Type) were measured by using LDV technique under various engine condition. It was found that the flow characteristics in the New Type exhaust manifold was more desirable in a view point of heat loss reduction from the exhaust gases. The vehicle emission tests showed that the THC emission in the New Type exhaust manifold was decreased by 12%.
