Abstract

PURPOSE:To restore the function of catalyst in a very short time to enable the maintenance by heating catalyst with a heating member by which the carrier outer circumferential part of the catalyst is enclosed before start-up of an internal combustion engine, and increasing the temperature of the carrier with a variable exhaust throttle for increasing the temperature of exhaust gas after the start-up. CONSTITUTION:A switch 15 is put ON before start-up of an engine, a current flows out of a battery 14 to pass through a timer switch 10 to excite a coil 13b of a relay 13 to allow a contact piece 13a to close a contact point 13c, and thereby a heating member 4 energized rapidly increases the temperature of a carrier 1. Since after the carrier 1 is heated for a specified time and the timer switch is put OFF and a coil 13b is deenergized. The contact piece 13a opens the contact point 13c to stop heating the carrier. The contact point 13a is then closed to put on a start-up switch 12 to start operation of the engine. A solenoid is operated to close an exhaust throttle valve 6 for increasing the temperature of exhaust gas so as to heat the carrier 1.
