  • Internal combustion engine having an exhaust gas system
    Patent number: 9212590
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine has at least one combustion chamber and an exhaust gas system arranged on an exhaust gas outlet port. The exhaust gas system includes at least one secondary air injection device for injecting secondary air into the exhaust system between the combustion chamber and an exhaust emission control system arranged in the exhaust gas system. During operation of the internal combustion engine, a residual gas content in the combustion chamber can be changed. The secondary air injection site on the exhaust gas system is arranged so far from the combustion chamber that injected secondary air flows back into the exhaust gas outlet port due to back-flowing exhaust gas in the exhaust gas system but does not flow back into the combustion chamber. This makes it possible to comply with SULEV emission limits even for engines having many combustion chambers and/or exhaust gas turbochargers.
