Abstract

According to one embodiment of the invention, an internal combustion engine includes a first exhaust port in a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine, a first one way valve coupled to a secondary air system, the first one way valve configured to restrict fluid communication from the first exhaust port to the secondary air system. The engine also includes a second exhaust port in the cylinder head and a second one way valve coupled to the secondary air system, the second one way valve configured to restrict fluid communication from the second exhaust port to the secondary air system, wherein the first and second exhaust ports are in fluid communication with a turbocharger.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to internal combustion engines, and more particularly, the present invention relates to secondary air injection systems for internal combustion engines. Background technique [0002] The engine control module of the internal combustion engine controls the mixture of fuel and air supplied to the combustion chambers of the engine. After a spark plug ignites the air / fuel mixture, combustion occurs, after which the combustion gases exit the combustion chamber through the exhaust valve. Combustion gases are directed through an exhaust manifold to a catalytic converter or other exhaust aftertreatment system. [0003] During certain engine operations, combustion gases entering the exhaust manifold are not completely combusted. If there is sufficient oxygen, the combustion gases will continue to burn in the exhaust manifold. Additional air is injected into the exhaust stream using a secondary air injection system to allow conti...
