A catalytic converter for the detoxification of the exhaust gases of internal combustion engines, in particular diesel engines, for use in grubenraeumen or other evacuate

摘要

A catalytic device takes the form of a manifold connectible to the engine block of an internal combustion engine to receive the exhaust gases. The manifold has an outer jacket for receiving coolant, e.g., water, and within this jacket is provided a chamber containing a catalyst cartridge serving to treat the exhaust gases to remove carbon monoxide therefrom. The cartridge is replaceable and has a pipe at one end which forms an exhaust pipe and a tubular projection into which the gases are passed. The cartridge is spaced from the inner surface of the chamber wall and is thermally insulated therefrom.
