System of production of the fulfilled gases of the models equipped with the catalytic converter

System of production of the fulfilled gases of models without catalytic converter

On the cars considered in the present manual the 3-section system of production of the fulfilled gases is used (see the illustrations System of Production of the Fulfilled Gases of the models equipped with the catalytic converter and System of production of the fulfilled gases of models without catalytic converter). The shown schemes are characteristic of all model range of the Citroyon Xantia cars. All sections of a final path are connected among themselves by means of flange joints. For fastening of a reception pipe to a flange of a final collector bolts with nuts are used, tightness of a joint is reached at the expense of the central sealing ring. Spherical shape of the interfaced surfaces of connection and use of the sprung washers provide flexibility of a joint and mobility of sections of system of rather final collector (see the left lower insert on illustrations). For connection among themselves of the remained sections special collars with blooming rings are used (see inserts "and" on illustrations).

On the models equipped with the catalytic converter, assembly of the last is a part of forward section of a final path and is built in in a reception pipe of system of production of the fulfilled gases.

Posting of sections of system it is carried out by means of rubber basic rings.

Diesel models

On diesel models without catalytic converter the two-section scheme (a reception pipe and final section) can be used. And, in the place of a joint of a reception pipe with the catalytic converter the broad camera is provided. For the rest the design of system does not differ from considered above applied on petrol engines. On accompanying illustrations components of fixture of a joint of a reception pipe of system of production of the fulfilled gases with a turbocompressor are illustrated.

On the models equipped with the catalytic converter the system consists of three sections: catalytic converter, intermediate pipe and exhaust pipe. For fastening of the converter to a final collector the flexible joint providing to system relative freedom of movement is used. Other sections fasten among themselves by means of collars with blooming rings.

On all the length of section of system are suspended to arms on the car bottom by means of rubber rings.

Removal

The system of production of the fulfilled gases can be removed from the car posektsionno. In view of features of provision of a back cross beam removal of system is assembled possible only after a detachment from it final section.

To make removal of system or its separate section it is necessary to poddomkratit previously the car and to establish it on reliable props. Alternatively the car can be tired out on a platform or a viewing hole.

Final section with the main muffler

Thermofilter(s)

For fastening of thermofilters to the bottom of the car bolts and nuts are used various type. Removal of each of screens becomes possible only after dismantle of the corresponding section of system of production of the fulfilled gases. If the screen is removed only for the purpose of ensuring access to the components located behind it, on some models will only be to weaken its fixture enough and to slightly lower a plate.
