Adjustable mounting for the core of a manifold reactor

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7274119
Improvements are described for a manifold reactor for use in an internal combustion engine, which includes: a reactor casing; an outer core and inner core defining a recombustion chamber for exhaust gas; an inlet port for introducing exhaust gas into the inner core; and outlet port connected to the outer core and discharging exhaust gas to an exhaust pipe. The improvements are: (1) a heat insulating material filled between the reactor casing and the outer core, and (2) outer core fixing screws piercing the wall of the reactor casing, each having a screw-head adjustably urged on the outer surface wall so that the outer core is protected from stress either in the longitudinal direction or in the radial direction by adjusting the fixing screws.
