ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to an in-line engine exhaust system. In general, the exhaust system is comprised of the following: (1) a honeycomb structure having an inlet and outlet end disposed in a housing and located in an exhaust gas stream downstream from an engine and possessing a first substantially unobstructed flow region, a second more obstructed flow region adjacent the first region; and, (2) a fluidics apparatus disposed in the exhaust stream proximate to the first region for creating a negative flow zone within the first region, which in turn results in diverting a portion of the exhaust gases away from the first region. More specifically, the fluidics apparatus includes a source diversion fluid, typically air, a conduit for delivering the diversion fluid and a diverter body for diverting the diversion fluid.
