Title: Control installation for the proportioning of a secondary air quantity for improvement of the combustion in internal combustion engines or the afterburning of the exhaust gases of internal combustion engines

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7328736

A control installation is described for the dosing or proportioning of a secondary air quantity for the improvement of combustion in internal combustion engines, or the after-burning of the exhaust gases of internal combustion engines. An auxiliary arrangement is responsive to an emergency signal for effecting the prompt shutting-off of the secondary air. The emergency signal may be initiated in response to a failure in the ignition voltage of the internal combustion engine; an increase in the hydrocarbon content of the exhaust gases; a disparity between the position of the mixture dosing element and the engine rotational speed; the exceeding of a limiting temperature in the exhaust gas manifold; or the exceeding of a limiting temperature in the afterburner.
