An air-fuel ratio control system for a carburetor of an internal combustion engine comprises an O.sub.2 -sensor for detecting the concentration of the oxygen constituent of exhaust gases passing through an exhaust passage, an on-off electromagnetic valve for correcting the air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture supplied by the carburetor, an electronic control circuit comprising a comparator for comparing an output signal of the O.sub.2 -sensor, an integration circuit, and a driving circuit for producing driving pulses for driving the electromagnetic valve in dependency on an output signal of the integration circuit for controlling the air-fuel ratio. A detector, such as an ignition pulse generating device, is provided for detecting conditions of operation of the internal combustion engine and for producing an engine operation signal, and a current control circuit responds to the engine operation signal for producing an output current. A delay circuit is provided to respond to the output current for delaying the output signal of the integration circuit.

Air-fuel ratio control system

A system for controlling the air-fuel ratio for an internal combustion engine having an intake passage, an exhaust passage, a detector such as an oxygen sensor for detecting the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust gases, an air-fuel mixture supply unit, an on-off type electromagnetic valve for correcting the air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture supplied by the air-fuel mixture supply unit, and an electronic control circuit for producing square wave pulses in dependency on the output signal from the detector for driving the on-off type electromagnetic valve. The system comprises a venturi for producing a vacuum dependent on rapid acceleration, a vacuum sensor for sensing the vacuum in the venturi at rapid acceleration of the internal combustion engine and producing an output signal dependent thereon, an intake opening in the venturi for communicating the vacuum with said vacuum sensor, pulse width modulator for producing a pulse width modulating signal when an output signal of the vacuum sensor rises above a predetermined level at a rapid acceleration, the pulse width modulator being connected to the electronic control circuit, such that said pulse width modulating signal is fed to said electronic control circuit for modulating the width of said square wave pulses in dependency on the rapid acceleration for enriching the air-fuel mixture.

System for controlling air-fuel ratio

A catalytic converter adapted for use in the exhaust system of internal combustion engines comprising a shell made of a pair of half shells forming an inlet chamber and a catalyst chamber, and a funnel-like outlet shell forming an outlet chamber. The inlet chamber has inlet ports communicating with exhaust pipes respectively and the outlet chamber has an outlet port communicating with a downstream exhaust pipe. The catalyst chamber resiliently supports a monolithic type catalyst element. The outlet shell which defines the outlet chamber is adapted to engage the inside of the pair of shells which form the catalyst chamber.

Catalytic converter

An internal combustion engine combustion process in which fuel injected from an injection nozzle takes the form of liquid droplets distributed in a combustion chamber so that a slow burning of the combustion at relatively low maximum combustion temperature is achieved. An exhaust system of the engine has a section which acts as a heat insulator. This construction provides a proper environment for oxidation of exhaust gases.
