A vehicle that can cool an ignition coil is provided. The vehicle has an engine having a cylinder head and an ignition coil with a first end exposed from the cylinder head, a CVT that varies and outputs rotary power from the engine, and an exhaust duct having a first exhaust port for exhausting a gas within a CVT case to outside of the CVT case, and a second exhaust port for exhausting a part of the gas flowing to the first exhaust port to outside of the CVT case, wherein the second exhaust port is provided for exhausting the gas within the CVT case to at least a part of the first end of the ignition coil.

Systems and methods of engine exhaust air injection before and after catalytic converters

Engine systems and methods use a dual air injection approach to control exhaust reactions and to maintain temperatures below a maximum limit of exhaust system components during engine enrichment operation conditions. Dual air injectors are disposed in the exhaust system with one upstream from, and another downstream from, the catalytic converter. Providing air injection before and/or after the converter helps convert all HC, CO, and PM emissions while keeping the catalyst temperature below the catalyst protection temperature limit. Air injection quantity may be controlled and diagnosed by monitoring the temperatures before and after the catalytic converter. The catalytic converter may be a three-way catalytic converter for lower cost or a downstream two-way catalytic converter may be added if further emission reduction is necessary.

Dosing and mixing arrangement for use in exhaust aftertreatment

Dosing and mixing exhaust gas includes directing exhaust gas towards a periphery of a mixing tube that is configured to direct the exhaust gas to flow around and through the mixing tube to effectively mix and dose exhaust gas within a relatively small area. Some mixing tubes include a slotted region and a non-slotted region. Some mixing tubes include a louvered region and a non-louvered region. Some mixing tubes are offset within a mixing region of a housing.

Mixing device for mixing a spray from an injector into a gas and system comprising same

A mixing device includes a mixing cavity having a partially open wall and a closed wall. In certain examples, the partially open wall and the closed wall are two separately formed pieces. A downstream side of the mixing device is shaped so as to define a helicoidal groove for circumferentially guiding gas from an outlet opening of the mixing cavity in a downstream direction. An injector sprays reactant into the mixing cavity.

FLUID CHAMBER THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND/OR METHOD

The fluid chamber system can include: a chamber housing, a capture medium, an internal support structure, and/or any other suitable components. The system can optionally include a thermal management system. However, the system can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable set of components. The system preferably functions to direct an input fluid (e.g., vehicle exhaust) through the capture medium and/or harvest one or more target species (e.g., carbon dioxide) from the input fluid (e.g., vehicle exhaust).

Riding lawn mower

A riding lawn mower has an internal combustion engine and a muffler with a first housing. The internal combustion engine is connected to the muffler to supply exhaust gases originating from the internal combustion engine to the first housing of the muffler for noise damping of the exhaust gases. A second housing is provided that thermally insulates the first housing of the muffler. The second housing at least partially encloses the first housing of the muffler. The second housing has an exterior side with an emissivity of greater than 0.8.

An exhaust system that includes a catalytic converter, selective catalytic reduction system, a muffler and, for certain applications, a diesel particulate filter that each include at least one filter that has an electric heating element, a metallic coating and a plurality of metal rods extending therethrough. The combination of elements are configured to heat the internal housings of the exhaust system and disrupt the direction of flow of exhaust gases which contain harmful toxic gases and pollutants and aid in removing and/or reducing said toxic gases and pollutants.

Mixing conduits including swirler vanes for use within an exhaust treatment system

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.
