The invention relates to a mixer for an exhaust gas system for mixing an additive into an exhaust gas flow of an internal combustion engine, having a first shell and at least a second shell which are arranged successively in the circumferential direction in relation to a center axis, each shell having at least two shell edges that are arranged offset in the circumferential direction and which each form a flow edge, wherein the flow edges of two circumferentially adjacent shell edges of two different shells delimit an inflow opening, such that at least one pipe end arranged coaxially with the center axis is provided with a circumferential pipe profile that has a nominal radius Rn and is used for connection to an exhaust pipe, the pipe end being formed by the circumferentially adjacent shells.

Aspects of the present invention relate to a valve seat (20) for a poppet valve of an internal combustion engine, wherein the poppet valve comprises a head and a stem behind the head, the valve seat comprising: an aperture (21) configured to form a seal with the head of the poppet valve when the poppet valve is in a closed position; and a peripheral body (22) defining, at least in part, one or more ports (23) shaped like e.g. grooves and sized to enable injection of liquid or gas from a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine into a gas stream behind the head of the poppet valve.

A method for operating an exhaust burner, which is situated in an exhaust system downstream from an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. Prior to and during a start phase of the exhaust burner, an air-mass flow supplied to a combustion chamber of the exhaust burner is increased, in particular in a strictly monotonical manner, between a start time in a starting air-mass flow and a further time in a further air-mass flow. Prior to the further time, fuel is supplied to the combustion chamber. A fuel-air mixture is produced in the combustion chamber from the fuel and air of the air-mass flow. The fuel-air mixture is ignited with the aid of an ignition device which is continuously hot or forms ignition sparks intermittently.

An exhaust duct configured to be arranged around an exhaust nozzle of an engine, the exhaust duct having a plurality of sections. The sections are circular between an inlet section and an outlet section, with the exception of the sections of a deformed segment, each section of the deformed segment extending from a bottom sector to a top sector, the bottom sector having a non-circular shape so that at least a volume of liquid that is not able to reach, by force of gravity, the inlet section and the outlet section, is less than a volume threshold when the pitch and roll angles respectively lie within predetermined pitch and roll angle ranges.

An engine is configured so that a muffler is affixed to the exhaust opening of the cylinder, and the air-cooled cylinder is cooled by a cooling fan. The engine is provided with a muffler cover for covering the muffler, and exhaust gas is discharged inside the muffler cover along the wall surface of the muffler. A second cooling air is combined with the exhaust gas flow from the upstream side thereof to be parallel thereto, and a first cooling air having been caused to flow under the muffler is caused to perpendicularly impinge against the exhaust gas flow on the downstream side thereof. Thus, the cooling airs are combined inside the muffler cover with the exhaust gas flow, and as a result the temperature of the exhaust gas is sufficiently reduced at the time when the exhaust gas is discharged from the opening of the muffler cover to the outside.

A muffler for decreasing the amount of noise of exhaust gases from a combustion engine is fluid connected with an exhaust port of an engine cylinder through an exhaust pipe. The interior of the muffler is divided into a first expansion chamber on the most upstream side, and a second expansion chamber on a downstream side thereof. The exhaust pipe is fluid connected with the muffler so as to be present within the first expansion chamber. The muffler is furthermore provided with a cooling pipe, which extends through the first expansion chamber, and a cooling air flows through cooling pipe.

The temperature of exhaust gas discharged from a compact air-cooled engine used as a power source for an engine-driven working machine is reduced. An engine has a muffler mounted directly to the exhaust opening of the cylinder, and a resin muffler cover covering the muffler. An exhaust gas restriction member is provided to a wall surface of the muffler, and two exhaust passages serving as outlets for exhaust gas are formed in the exhaust gas restriction member. The exhaust passages are arranged independent of each other, and the streams of discharged exhaust gas are discharged to be slightly separated from each other as the streams flow away from the exhaust openings. The separated streams of discharged exhaust gas form a negative pressure space between the streams promoting the introduction of a cooling air stream into the negative pressure portion. Thus, the temperature of the exhaust gas can be reduced.
