  • the object of the invention is to provide a versatile, honeycomb-shaped catalyst and a method for removing the pollutants from the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine operated with excess air. Effective catalytic degradation of the pollutants should also take place in the exhaust gas of a conventional diesel engine with a low tendency to clog the catalytic converter, whereby an increased exhaust gas back pressure, which would greatly reduce the engine output, should be practically avoided.

Abstract

Pour éliminer les substances nocives dans un gaz d'échappement provenant d'un moteur à explosion (1) fonctionnant à l'excès d'air avec une cylindrée (3) donnée, il est proposé un catalyseur à alvéoles (7) ainsi qu'un procédé consistant à acheminer le gaz d'échappement par un tuyau d'échappement (2) dans le catalyseur (7). En adaptant la surface d'incidence (11) à la cylindrée (3), pour un diamètre hydraulique des canaux d'écoulement (9) du catalyseur (7) entre 2 à 4 mm et pour une ouverture de la zone frontale à l'entrée du catalyseur (7) entre 45 et 95 %, on peut obtenir un taux élevé de conversion des substances nocives sans affaiblissement de la puissance du moteur (1).
