ABSTRACT:
An assembly combining a catalytic converter with a spiral muffler, particularly for small internal combustion engines. In series are an expansion chamber, a venturi for air injection, a catalytic converter, and a phase-spreading spiral muffler. The expansion chamber promotes proper operation of the venturi, as well as reducing engine exhaust back pressure and providing some noise reduction. The muffler has a spirally coiled exhaust channel dead-ended at its inner extremity, with an outer extremity serving as a muffled exhaust outlet. A distribution chamber is adjacent the spiral exhaust channel, sharing a common wall therewith, and a plurality of streamlined slotted openings spaced along the exhaust channel at different distances from the muffled exhaust outlet introduce gas from the distribution chamber into the spiral channel. Disclosed is a space efficient construction including a series-connected venturi and catalytic converter assembly mounted centrally and coaxially within a cylindrical expansion chamber, with elements of the muffler arranged coaxially around a projecting portion of the catalytic converter.
