ABSTRACT:
A connection system for a connection between an exhaust port of an internal combustion engine and an intake port of a thermal reactor for substantially purifying exhaust gases emitted from the engine. An engine casing has an exhaust passage accommodating therein a tubular insert while the thermal reactor has an intake pipe leading into a reaction chamber. The tubular insert has a radially outwardly extending flange on one end and the intake pipe has a radially outwardly extending flange on one end. When the thermal reactor is operatively coupled to the engine, the flange on the tubular insert and the flange on the intake pipe are coupled to each other with a heat transmitting connecting member therebetween. An annular portion of the flange on the intake pipe is, when the reactor is thus coupled to the engine, allowed to elastically deform to generate a force with which the intake pipe and the tubular insert are relatively fixedly restrained in position. The flange on the intake pipe also has an area of reduced surface contact.
