    摘要: An exhaust aftertreatment system includes a first stage catalytic converter, a second stage catalytic converter, and a conduit extending from the first stage catalytic converter to the second stage catalytic converter. The conduit passes through an exhaust gas intercooler, between the first and second stage catalytic converts, that reduces the temperature of the exhaust to about 300° F. to about 500° F. Air is ejected into the exhaust conduit to increase the oxygen concentration in the exhaust before it passes through the second stage catalytic converter. The air can be ejected from an air ejection conduit that extends to an engine charger compressor or a compressed air conduit that extends from the engine charger compressor, such as a turbo charger and/or a supercharger, to the engine. A gas particulate filter can be disposed in the exhaust conduit or it can be integrated with the second stage catalytic converter, for example as a catalyzed gas particulate filter.
