A replacement kit for use with a motor vehicle that was originally equipped with an exhaust system including an exhaust manifold and a catalytic converter welded thereto. The replacement kit includes a replacement catalytic converter arranged for use during use of the motor vehicle on public roads. Rather than welding, the replacement catalytic converter attaches to the exhaust manifold using a clamp to form a gas-tight seal. The clamp is arranged to move from the closed position to an open position to enable disengagement of the replacement catalytic converter from the exhaust manifold and substitution of a bypass pipe in place of the replacement catalytic converter to increase performance characteristics of the vehicle during off-road use.

An apparatus for shielding hot regions, in particular of an internal combustion engine, includes a heat shield with a through hole. The apparatus has a component, in particular a heat source, with a fastening region which has a receptacle and a shoulder which surrounds the receptacle at least partially. The shoulder extends through the through hole of the heat shield. The apparatus has a fastening element, in particular a screw, which fastens the heat shield to the fastening region, the fastening element being supported on the shoulder, extending through the through hole of the heat shield, and being fastened in the receptacle.

An exhaust muffler includes first and second pipes which extend through a casing, and which are disposed so that a downstream end of the first pipe faces an upstream end of the second pipe, wherein the downstream end of the first pipe and the upstream end of the second pipe are disposed so as to be spaced from each other in an axial direction, one end part of a support member having a circular cross section that has a smaller diameter than those of the first and the second pipes is fixed to one of a first lid member covering an opening at the downstream end of the first pipe and a second lid member covering an opening at the upstream end of the second pipe, and the other end part of the support member is slidably fitted to the other of the first and the second lid members.

The invention relates to an emissions control device for a combustion engine aftertreatment arrangement, the emissions control device comprising: a housing configured for accommodating an emissions control substrate; and at least one first opening in the housing, which at least one first opening is con figured for receiving a threaded assembling element, which threaded assembling element is configured for assembly of the emissions control device in a cavity of the aftertreatment arrangement. The emissions control device further comprises at least one second opening in the housing, wherein the at least one second opening is provided with a thread, configured for receiving a threaded disassembling element, which threaded disassembling element is configured for disassembly of the emissions control device from the cavity of the aftertreatment arrangement. The invention further relates to a combustion engine aftertreatment arrangement for a vehicle and a method for disassembling an emissions control device.

An engine has an ATD that purifies exhaust gas. The engine is provided with an engine body, a support base, a front-side support bracket, and a rear-side support bracket. The support base supports an exhaust gas purification device. The front-side support bracket is mounted to the engine body and is disposed on one side of the engine body, and supports the support base. The rear-side support bracket is mounted to the engine body and is disposed on a side opposite to the front-side support bracket with the engine body therebetween, and supports the support base. The front-side support bracket has a vertically-mounted boss mounted in the vertical direction with respect to the support base. The rear-side support bracket has a horizontally-mounted boss mounted in the horizontal direction with respect to the support base.

An exhaust treatment component may be mounted in brackets, each bracket having a clamping surface which in a use orientation is arranged in parallel with a corresponding mounting surface of a fixed mount, the mounting surfaces defining adjustment planes which are spaced apart along a length axis of the mount. Each bracket may be adjusted independently in its use orientation to define a variable clamping position in the adjustment plane. In another aspect, the component may be mounted in one or more brackets, each bracket comprising curved contact surface, each surface being defined by an arc of a respective circle, each arc being contained in the circle of the other respective arc, whereby the centre points of the respective circles are spaced apart in the reference plane so that each arc is contained in the circle of the other respective arc. The component can be clamped to the bracket irrespective of its diameter.

The present invention relates to an improved turbocharger assembly, particularly of the variable geometry type. The improved turbocharge assembly contains a turbine. The turbine includes an impeller housed in a casing, a flange that can be sealingly associated with a corresponding flange of an exhaust gas manifold of an engine, and a clapet valve that contains a shutter element and a housing seat. The housing seat is fashioned in a frame made in one piece with the casing.

A doser mounting bracket for coupling a doser to an exhaust gas aftertreatment system component having a sidewall and an exhaust gas aftertreatment system component opening includes a lower surface, an engagement wall, a central structure, an upper surface, and an attachment structure. The lower surface is configured to be held in a position opposing the sidewall. The engagement wall extends from the lower surface. The central structure has an opening that extends therethrough and includes a centering structure that extends from the lower surface and is configured to be received within the exhaust gas aftertreatment system component opening. The attachment structure extends from the upper surface and is configured to be coupled to the doser. The engagement wall is configured to separate the lower surface from the sidewall when the engagement wall interfaces with the sidewall such that a pocket is formed between the engagement wall, the centering structure, and the lower surface.

A selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system for treating exhaust gas from a diesel engine is provided, along with a method of assembling such a system. The system comprises a frame, a SCR catalyst contained within a SCR canister, and an ammonia oxidation catalyst contained within an ammonia oxidation canister. Each of the SCR and ammonia oxidation canisters is removably attached to the frame.

There is provided a heat insulating cover for an exhaust device, including outer shell members each having flanges formed at both ends in a peripheral direction, and the adjacent flanges are bonded to each other without generating any gap in an entire axial direction of the heat insulating cover for the exhaust device. A flange includes at least two fixing portions provided apart from each other in the axial direction of an exhausting member, the fixing portions of the adjacent flanges in the peripheral direction abutting each other and being fixed in a face-to-face manner, and includes an inclined portion provided between the fixing portions in the axial direction, the inclined portion being inclined relative to the fixing portions to be positioned closer to the other adjacent flange as being closer to an outer side in the peripheral direction.
