General information
Fig. 15: N62 air routing
Blowing additional air (secondary air) into the cylinder head
exhaust duct during the warm-up phase results in a thermal
secondary combustion which in turns results in a reduction of
the non-combusted hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide
(CO) contained in the exhaust vapours.
The energy generated during this process heats up the catalytic
converter faster during the warm-up phase, and increases its
conversion rate.
