Water drop muffler for diesel powered marine generator
11473462 · 2022-10-18 ·

A marine muffler includes a housing having a wet exhaust inlet, a water outlet, and a dry exhaust outlet. An internal chamber is divided by an angularly disposed baffle into lower and upper chambers. Vertical exhaust ducts penetrate the baffle and function to allow exhaust gas and entrained cooling water to pass from the lower chamber into the upper chamber. The second chamber is bounded at the top a second baffle which terminates the upward flow of exhaust thereby redirecting the exhaust downward. A pair of exhaust conduits extend through the second baffle thereby allowing exhaust to pass upward and into a third chamber which is bounded at it's uppermost portion by a third baffle defining a plurality of slotted apertures in fluid communication with the exhaust outlet. Water separated from the exhaust gas is directed to the water outlet by the diagonal baffle whereby it exits the housing.

A METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY DETECTING CLOGGING OF A SENSOR PIPE EXTENDING BETWEEN A PRESSURE SENSOR AND AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

The invention relates to a method for automatically detecting clogging of a sensor pipe extending between a pressure sensor and an exhaust manifold of an internal combustion engine, wherein the pressure sensor enables to record a signal representative of the relative pressure over time. The method includes at least one of the following steps: a) determining, while the engine runs in a steady operation state, an average amplitude of oscillations of the signal over a first period of time, the sensor pipe being considered clogged when said average amplitude is lower than a first threshold; b) monitoring, from the time the engine has been turned off, the signal over a second period of time, the sensor pipe being considered clogged when the integral of the signal is greater than a second threshold.
