ABSTRACT:
A baffle is added to the inlet pipe and inlet volume of a catalytic converter to maintain separation between converging exhaust gas streams entering into the catalytic converter material. Combination of the exhaust gas streams entering the catalytic converter is thereby substantially avoided, allowing a single catalytic converter to handle the exhaust gas components of a plurality of exhaust gas streams from an engine without overloading the catalytic converter. Overloading of the catalytic converter due to the combination of exhaust gas components, and the related surging of unreacted gases to the atmosphere from overloading, is thereby substantially prevented, providing improved emissions control at a low cost, and without requiring addition of a second catalytic converter.
