Patent ID: 11560824

Abstract:
An applied-ignition internal combustion engine includes first and second combustion chambers, an exhaust-gas system with an exhaust-gas purification system is disposed at the first and second combustion chambers, and an exhaust-gas manifold. An exhaust gas from a combustion of a an air/fuel mixture firstly flows through the exhaust-gas manifold and subsequently flows through the exhaust-gas purification system. A first section of the exhaust-gas system from the first combustion chamber to the exhaust-gas purification system is cooled more than a second section of the exhaust-gas system from the second combustion chamber to the exhaust-gas purification system. The first combustion chamber is operated with a lean air/fuel mixture, the second combustion chamber is operated with a rich air/fuel mixture, and an overall exhaust-gas lambda value at an inlet into the exhaust-gas purification system is stoichiometric.
