Cyclonic thermal diffuser and method
A diffuser is configured for use on a vehicle having an engine and an exhaust pipe. The diffuser includes a conduit with a first end configured to receive exhaust gases from the engine. A diffusion fitting is coupled to a second end of the conduit to receive exhaust gases discharged from the conduit. The diffusion fitting has an outer wall that includes a curved surface. The curved surface is configured to guide the exhaust gases discharged from the conduit about an axis so that exhaust gases exit a first side of the diffusion fitting rotating about the axis.
Mixer
A mixer for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine for mixing exhaust gas and reactant includes a mixing chamber, a reactant dispensing arrangement for dispensing reactant into the mixing chamber axially between an upstream mixer wall and a downstream mixer wall, an inlet opening arrangement in the upstream mixer wall, an outlet opening arrangement in the downstream mixer wall, a flow guiding arrangement arranged between the upstream mixer wall and the downstream mixer wall, wherein the flow guiding arrangement provides a first flow path leading from the inlet opening arrangement to the outlet opening arrangement and a second flow path leading from the inlet opening arrangement to the outlet opening arrangement, wherein each flow path has at least two flow channels leading from the inlet opening arrangement to the outlet opening arrangement.
MUFFLER
The present disclosure provides a muffler with a simple structure and a low cost. The muffler is formed by an exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe has an extension direction and a radial direction, an exhaust gas is discharged through the exhaust pipe. At least a partial region of an interior of the exhaust pipe is divided into a muffling chamber and an exhaust passage portion by a partition plate arranged along the extension direction. A cross-sectional area of the exhaust passage portion is larger than that of the muffling chamber. At a downstream end portion of the muffling chamber in a flow direction of the exhaust gas, a peripheral wall of the exhaust pipe on the muffler chamber side is engaged with the partition plate, thereby closing a downstream opening of the muffling chamber in the flow direction of the exhaust gas.
Sound attenuator as well as elements and a method of production thereof
In the present disclosure is proposed a novel sound attenuating element for, at least in part, providing adequate or preferably improved sound attenuating properties without excessively impeding flow while being susceptible to automated or machine assisted manufacturing or for providing the public with a useful alternative. The novel sound attenuating element is formed at least in part by an assembly of a plurality of components which are successively connected to each other, which each exhibit a curved shape, and which form at least one non-planar ruled surface when assembled.
Exhaust handling systems for marine vessels and related methods
An embodiment of an exhaust handling system for a marine vessel includes a cap connected to a top end portion of an exhaust stack of the marine vessel to form an enclosure at least partially surrounding an outlet of an exhaust pipe extending through the exhaust stack. In addition, the exhaust handling system includes a collection pipe in fluid communication with the cap such that the collection pipe is to receive exhaust from the enclosure, and a coupling connected to the collection pipe that is to connect to an exhaust cleaning assembly. The exhaust cleaning system includes a tank to receive the exhaust. The cap at least partially defines a first flow path for the exhaust that extends from the enclosure to the atmosphere. The collection pipe at least partially defines a second flow path for the exhaust that extends from the enclosure to the coupling via the collection pipe.

Exhaust purification apparatus
An exhaust purification apparatus includes a connection portion that connects an exhaust manifold to a catalytic converter. The connection portion includes a diffusion portion and a coupling portion. The coupling portion is configured such that a cross-sectional area of a passage of the coupling portion increases from a connection point with the diffusion portion toward a connection point with the catalytic converter. The side surface of the diffusion portion includes a connection surface to which the exhaust manifold is connected, a collision surface with which the exhaust gas that has flowed into the diffusion portion from the exhaust manifold strikes, a first coupling surface, and a second coupling surface. Cross-sectional shapes of the first coupling surface, the second coupling surface, and the collision surface are arcuate. The cross-sectional shape of the collision surface has a smaller curvature than the cross-sectional shapes of the first and second coupling surfaces.
