Patent ·
OSTI ID:7367016
A description is given of a secondary air supply control system for internal combustion engine exhaust gas purification systems. A change-over valve selectively supplies secondary air from the air pump either to the upstream side of the catalytic converter or to a second change-over valve, and an on-off valve and control valve controls the switching. The second change-over valve supplies the secondary air from the first change-over valve to the exhaust ports of the engine for discharging into the atmosphere, and a second valve controls the switching action. Part of the secondary air from the air pump is supplied to the downstream side of the catalytic converter. (auth)
