System for concentrating exhaust gas flow in a catalyst during cold starts

An exhaust gas flow concentration system for a catalyst includes an inlet that receives a flow of exhaust gas from an exhaust pipe of an exhaust system, a stationary tube in communication with the inlet and disposed upstream from the catalyst, and an extension tube in communication with the stationa...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An exhaust gas flow concentration system for a catalyst includes an inlet that receives a flow of exhaust gas from an exhaust pipe of an exhaust system, a stationary tube in communication with the inlet and disposed upstream from the catalyst, and an extension tube in communication with the stationary tube and disposed upstream from the catalyst, where the extension tube includes a cross-sectional area less than a cross-sectional area of the catalyst. A displacement device is coupled to the extension tube and is configured to (i) displace the extension tube relative to the stationary tube downstream towards the catalyst as a temperature in the exhaust system decreases away from a light-off temperature of the catalyst and (ii) retract the extension tube relative to the stationary tube upstream away from the catalyst when the temperature in the exhaust system reaches the light-off temperature of the catalyst.
