Abstract

Ein Abgaskrümmer einer Abgasanlage für eine Brennkraftmaschine umfaß einen abzweigenden Rohrkrümmer in dem motorseitig verbundenen Abgasrohre einmünden und in einem Abschnitt des Rohrkrümmers zusammengefaßt und in diesem endseitig gehalten sind, Die Abgasrohre (4a bis 7a) im Rohrkrümmer (8) sind im wesentlichen gleichgerichtet angeordnet und bilden endseitig miteinander einen Kreisquerschnitt. Die Abgasrohre sind am freien Ende einerseits über eine definiert randseitig umlaufende Anlagefläche bzw. einem Rand miteinander verbunden und andererseits sind die gleichgerichteten Abgasrohre im weiteren Verlauf mit einem Spalt (21) beabstandet zueinander angeordnet.
