Especially in cold climate conditions, fuel economy and emission performance are greatly affected.
[0005] 2. When the traditional independent exhaust manifold is used with a turbocharger, the exhaust gas flows to the turbine over a long distance, which easily causes turbo hysteresis, making the engine less responsive at low speeds.

[0033] Working principle: During the operation of the engine, the exhaust gas after combustion is discharged from the cylinder. The exhaust duct body 17 and the cylinder head body 1 are integrally cast, and the exhaust gas can directly enter the integrated exhaust duct body 17; this integrated structure reduces the heat loss during the exhaust gas transmission process, so that more exhaust heat can be effectively recycled and utilized, and the engine preheating process is accelerated through heat exchange with the engine coolant; especially when starting in cold weather, the coolant can be heated to a suitable operating temperature more quickly, improving the fuel atomization effect, thereby improving fuel economy and reducing harmful gas emissions; when the diesel engine is equipped with a turbocharger, the integrated The integrated exhaust duct body 17 shortens the distance that the exhaust gas flows to the turbine; the exhaust gas can quickly reach the turbocharger after being discharged from the cylinder, reducing the turbo lag phenomenon; because the exhaust gas transmission path is short, under low speed conditions, the turbine can respond more quickly to changes in exhaust gas energy, increase the intake pressure, and allow the engine to obtain more air, thereby improving combustion efficiency, enhancing the engine's power output, and improving the engine's response speed at low speed; the geometric shape of the integrated exhaust duct body 17 is precisely controlled, and the exhaust gas flow path is optimized according to the principles of fluid mechanics; the exhaust duct's pipe diameter, curvature and other parameters are reasonably designed, so that the exhaust gas can flow smoothly in the exhaust duct , reducing airflow turbulence and resistance, and reducing exhaust back pressure; lower exhaust back pressure helps to discharge exhaust gas in the cylinder, making it easier for fresh air to enter the cylinder, improving charging efficiency, and thus improving the overall efficiency of the engine; due to the reduction of independent exhaust manifolds, gaskets and their fixings, the overall weight of the engine can be reduced; according to Newton's second law, when the vehicle weight is reduced, the inertial force that needs to be overcome during driving is reduced, and the energy required by the engine to drive the vehicle is reduced, thereby improving fuel economy and reducing the vehicle's carbon dioxide and other pollutant emissions; the integrated solution simplifies the assembly steps and directly installs the cylinder head with the exhaust manifold The integrated design reduces the number of assembly links for parts and reduces production costs.
