An exhaust mechanism includes an exhaust pipe, an exhaust port, and a baffle plate. The exhaust pipe has one end connected to an engine and another end opposite to the one end along a length of the exhaust pipe. The exhaust port is provided at another end of the exhaust pipe and extends in a first direction inclined from the height direction along a height of the work vehicle. A length of the exhaust port in the height direction is shorter than a length of the exhaust port in the transverse direction perpendicular to a plane including the first direction and the height direction. The baffle plate is provided in the exhaust port and configured to change an exhaust gas flow from the first direction to the transverse direction.

The invention relates to an annular catalytic converter, having a first, tubular flow path, having a diverting region (4) and having a second, annular flow path, wherein the tubular flow path is formed by an inner pipe (1), wherein the annular flow path is formed between the inner pipe (1) and an outer pipe (2) surrounding the inner pipe, and the diverting region (4) is of pot-shaped form for the purposes of diverting the exhaust-gas flow from the tubular flow path into the annular flow path, wherein the inner pipe (1) and/or the outer pipe (2) has a conical cross section (D1, D2, D1, D4) that widens or narrows along the flow direction of the exhaust gas.

An exhaust muffler includes a first muffler section having a tubular member made up of an inner pipe to which an exhaust pipe is connected and an outer pipe covering the inner pipe, and a connector connecting the tubular member and a second muffler section to each other, and the second muffler section having an outer shell, a first partition wall, a second partition wall, and a third partition wall. Exhaust gases delivered from the exhaust pipe are discharged from the first muffler section and the second muffler section out of the exhaust muffler. The second muffler section has a cross-sectional area larger than a cross-sectional area of the tubular member. The exhaust muffler includes a first expansion chamber, a second expansion chamber, and a third expansion chamber. The second muffler section includes a fluid communication pipe extending through the first partition wall and the second partition wall for leading exhaust gases from the first expansion chamber into the second expansion chamber, and an exhaust passage pipe held in fluid communication with the third expansion chamber and extending through the second partition and the third partition wall. The second partition wall has a fluid communication hole defined therein that provides fluid communication between the second expansion chamber and the third expansion chamber. There is thus provided an engine exhaust device capable of increasing a silencing capability by increasing the length of a route through which the exhaust gases flow while maintaining the length of the exhaust device.

Mixer box for mixing, vaporization and decomposition of a liquid additive to the exhaust gas flow from a combustion engine, comprising a gas inlet (108), a gas outlet (109) and internal duct means establishing a gas flow path (A-H, a-h) from the gas inlet (108) to the gas outlet (109). The duct means includes a first duct portion (107) having an outer wall (171) and an inner wall (161), which is surrounded by the outer wall (171), such that the gas flow path through said first duct portion (107) is established inbetween. The first duct portion (107) is provided with at least two partitions (121-124) extending between the outer wall (171) and the inner wall (161), which separate the first duct portion (107) into at least two duct sections (101a, 101b, 102a, 102b) of which at least one is an upstream duct section (101a, 101b) and at least one is a downstream duct section (102a, 102b).

An exhaust additive distribution arrangement for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine (2) includes an exhaust duct element (14), an exhaust additive injection unit (20), and a primary vaporization element (16); wherein the primary vaporization element (16) is a tubular body arranged in the interior of the exhaust duct element (16), has a predefined space between an inner surface of the exhaust duct element (14) and an outer surface of the primary vaporization element (16), and protrudes from the exhaust duct element (14) at an outlet end; and wherein the exhaust additive injection unit (20) is arranged to inject exhaust additive liquid from a point at the inner surface of the exhaust duct element (14) towards an inner surface of the primary vaporization element (16). The exhaust additive injection unit (20) is of the liquid-only type, and the primary vaporization element (16) has a length that is sufficiently short to allow injected exhaust additive liquid to run off of the outlet end of the primary vaporization element (16). The present invention also concerns an exhaust additive distribution system and a vehicle (1) comprising the exhaust additive distribution arrangement.

A modular system for exhaust heat recovery devices has heat exchangers which differ by different external dimensions, in particular different cross-sections, and identically configured exhaust gas carrying housings into each of which one of the heat exchangers can be introduced. Various tubular adapters are adapted to the external dimensions of the heat exchangers and are used to fasten the associated heat exchanger at its connection ends to the exhaust gas carrying housing. Furthermore, a tubular adapter for a corresponding modular system and a vehicle which has a corresponding exhaust heat recovery device are provided.

One aspect of the present disclosure provides a muffler including an exhaust pipe and a space forming member. The exhaust pipe has a cylindrical shape having a flow passage inside through which exhaust gas passes. The space forming member forms closed spaces between itself and the exhaust pipe, the closed spaces being branched from the flow passage and adjacent to the flow passage. Each of the closed spaces and the flow passage communicate with one another via a single communication hole.

A muffler includes an inner pipe and an outer pipe which, along with the inner pipe, forms a double-wall pipe. A cavity is provided between the inner and outer pipes. A first end of the double-wall pipe is closed between the inner and outer pipes, and a second end of the double-wall pipe has an opening between the inner and outer pipes. The cavity communicates with an exhaust channel via the opening. The cavity is formed as a result of the inner pipe being shaped in a manner such that a portion of an outer-circumferential surface of the inner pipe is positioned on an inner-circumferential side relative to a reference, the reference being a position of an outer-circumferential surface of the outer pipe.

A vehicular exhaust pipe structure includes an outer pipe extending along a front-rear direction of a vehicle and an inner pipe disposed inside the outer pipe along an axial direction of the outer pipe. The inner pipe is joined to the outer pipe such that a vacuum layer is formed between the inner pipe and the outer pipe. The inner pipe includes a pseudo-cylindrical concave polyhedral shell-shaped part.

A mixer for mixing a fluid solution, such as a diesel exhaust fluid for selective catalytic reduction, with a gas, such as an exhaust gas, includes a mixing chamber with a general cylinder shape obtained by translation of a polarly period section along a first axis. The fluid solution is sprayed in the mixing chamber by way of a first axial end thereof. The gas enters the mixing chamber through openings formed in a generatrix surface of said mixing chamber, and the mixture exits through a second axial end opposite the first axial end. The polarly period section is shaped in a star, obtained by polarly periodically repeating an elementary profile, comprising an opening defined by a first angle between a first segment passing through the two ends of said opening and a radial line passing through the distal end of said first segment.
