Abstract
An engine system comprises an internal combustion engine and an exhaust gas treatment system, such as a three-way catalytic converter or an oxidation catalytic converter. The engine has an additional intake means, in addition to a main intake means for admitting by induction an air fuel mixture to a combustion chamber, for admitting under pressure above atmospheric pressure air to the combustion chambers during a period initiating during the exhaust stroke and terminating during the intake stroke for the purpose of expelling residual gas from the combustion chamber to bring about a stable combustion.
