An air exhausting device includes a muffler internally divided into a plurality of chambers by a separator, an inlet pipe that couples an exhaust pipe of an engine to the muffler, and an outlet pipe that is a path to discharge an exhaust gas inside the muffler to outside air. The muffler is configured of an expansion chamber to which a downstream end of the inlet pipe opens, and a resonator chamber communicated with only the expansion chamber via a plurality of resonator pipes. Any of or both of lengths and thicknesses of the plurality of resonator pipes are different.

The invention relates to an exhaust gas cleaning device (2) for an internal combustion engine, with an injection module (1) for a reduction agent, particularly urea, having a housing (3) with a main chamber (4), in which main chamber (4) a mixing tube (5) is arranged downstream of a metering chamber (6) into which the reduction agent is injected by means of an injection device (11). The injection module (1) for exhaust gas has at least one first inlet (8) into the main chamber (4) and at least one first outlet (7b) out of the mixing tube (5). In order to achieve a high exhaust gas quality in as simple and space-saving a manner as possible, the metering chamber (6) has at least one second inlet (12) for exhaust gas, the main chamber (4) has at least one second outlet (9) for exhaust gas, and the main chamber (4) is separated in a gas-tight manner from the metering chamber (6) and from the interior (5a) of the mixing tube (5).

An exhaust gas purification apparatus includes a three-way catalyst. The three-way catalyst includes a downstream catalyst layer and an upstream catalyst layer. The downstream catalyst layer is to be provided in an exhaust pipe. The downstream catalyst layer contains a noble metal material containing at least one of Pd, Rh, or Pt, and an OSC material containing at least ceria. The upstream catalyst layer is to be provided in the exhaust pipe closer to an engine than the downstream catalyst layer is. The upstream catalyst layer contains the noble metal material and the OSC material. The upstream catalyst layer contains the ceria at a content less than a content of the ceria in the downstream catalyst layer.

A mixing conduit for use within an exhaust treatment system of a work vehicle. The mixing conduit is configured to receive engine exhaust and a mixture of engine exhaust and reductant. The mixing conduit includes an outer tube and an inner tube within the outer tube. Each tube extends lengthwise from upstream ends to downstream ends of the inner and outer tubes, respectively. The inner tube includes an exterior surface, and the outer tube includes an interior surface. The inner tube defines an inner flowpath within the inner tube. The outer tube and inner tube also define an outer flowpath radially between the exterior surface of the inner tube and the interior surface of the outer tube. The mixing conduit further includes one or more swirler vanes extending radially between the exterior surface of the inner tube and the interior surface of the outer tube and within the outer flowpath.

An exhaust pipe has an upstream-side exhaust pipe extending downward from an engine to house a catalyst for exhaust gas purification, and a downstream-side exhaust pipe located downstream of the upstream-side exhaust pipe, and extending upward from the catalyst and then bending downward. Under a configuration in which an exhaust pipe is disposed below an engine, with a simple configuration, a catalyst is hardly exposed to water.

A mixer apparatus for an exhaust gas aftertreatment system of a motor vehicle. The apparatus includes a housing having enveloping, first end, and second end walls. An injection opening for an exhaust gas aftertreatment agent is in the enveloping wall. An inlet opening is in the first end wall. The injection opening is configured for mounting a metering module. A rectilinear metering axis, which extends through the metering module and corresponds to an injection direction of exhaust gas aftertreatment agent injected into the housing, tangentially contacts, at a contact point, a theoretical cylinder, disposed in the housing, having a variable radius and a cylinder axis that is congruent with a central axis of the housing. A region of the metering axis extending from the injection opening to the contact point is located, with respect to inflowing exhaust gas, in the shelter of an opening-free region of the first end wall.

A muffler unit includes: an inner cylinder connected with a first exhaust pipe; a first outlet pipe that is connected with a downstream end of the inner cylinder and through which exhaust gas is discharged; an outer cylinder that houses thereinside the inner cylinder and defines, between the outer cylinder and an outer surface of the inner cylinder, an expansion chamber communicating with the second exhaust pipe; and a second outlet pipe that houses thereinside the first outlet pipe and defines, between the second outlet pipe and an outer surface of the first outlet pipe, a path connected with the expansion chamber to thereby be used for discharging the exhaust gas. Accordingly, there is provided the muffler unit having a size reduced compared with a configuration including two mufflers disposed in parallel with each other.

The invention relates to a catalytic converter for treating exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine, having a housing through which an exhaust gas may flow and which has an inflow side and an outflow side, wherein, in the housing, there is formed a plurality of flow channels (4, 13) which is flowed through along a main throughflow direction from the inflow side to the outflow side, wherein, in the housing, there is arranged at least one pipeline (5, 12) which is flowed through by a fluid which is independent of the exhaust gas that is caused to flow through the flow channels (4, 13).

The utility model provides an exhaust structure having a lightweight structure. The utility model provides an exhaust structure, comprising: an exhaust pipe; and a muffler connected to the exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe includes an upstream side opening portion, a downstream side opening portion, and a winding portion. The winding portion is formed by winding pipings between the upstream side opening portion and the downstream side opening portion. The muffler is connected to the upstream side opening portion of the exhaust pipe, and the winding portion overlaps the muffler in a front-rear direction.

Methods and systems are provided for an exhaust system of a vehicle. In one example, the exhaust system includes an exhaust tail pipe with an asymmetric outlet. The asymmetric outlet of the tail pipe may flare outwards, away from a central axis of the tail pipe, circumferentially surrounded by a housing with a geometry matching a geometry of the asymmetric outlet.
