Title:
ENGINE SYSTEM WITH REFORMING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/073698
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is an engine system wherein a reforming device for reforming a fuel is mounted in an exhaust pipe, characterized in that a control valve which controls the flow rate of exhaust air is provided downstream from the outlet of the reforming device in the exhaust pipe. In the engine system with the reforming device, the control valve is closed during an exhaust process so that a part of the exhaust gas can be confined in a space between the reforming device and an engine chamber. Thus, the reforming efficiency of the reforming device can be enhanced.
