Abstract
A throttle unit placed in an exhaust gas passage controls an opening-ratio of each of first and second valve members to control a gas-flow sectional area of the exhaust gas passage. When the temperature of a three-way catalyst is low, the throttle unit introduces the exhaust gas flow into a part of an outer-periphery of the three-way catalyst. This control can rapidly increase the temperature of the three-way catalyst from an early period of starting an internal combustion engine within a short period of time. The throttle unit increases the gas-flow sectional area of the exhaust gas passage according to increasing the temperature of the three-way catalyst. When the three-way catalyst reaches its activation temperature, the throttle unit instructs the first and second valve members to fully open. This decreases a pressure loss of the exhaust gas because the exhaust gas is supplied into the entire of the three-way catalyst.
