Provided is a tubular member for an exhaust gas treatment device, including: a tubular main body made of a metal; an insulating layer arranged at least on an inner peripheral surface side of the tubular main body; and an intermediate layer arranged between the tubular main body and the insulating layer, wherein the insulating layer contains glass, and wherein the intermediate layer is at least not identical in composition to the insulating layer.

A shield for a diesel exhaust fluid injector is mounted in an opening in a side wall of an exhaust gas aftertreatment system of an internal combustion engine. The diesel exhaust fluid injector is configured to inject diesel exhaust fluid in a direction generally normal to the side wall into a mixer positioned in an exhaust gas stream. The shield includes a first portion extending axially and a second portion extending radially inwardly from the first portion.

A tubular member for an exhaust gas treatment device according to at least one embodiment of the present invention includes: a tubular main body made of a metal; and an insulating layer formed at least on an inner peripheral surface of the tubular main body. The insulating layer contains glass, and the glass has a content of an alkali metal element of 1,000 ppm or less.

A particulate filter, including: a pillar-shaped honeycomb structure portion having a plurality of first cells extending from a first end face to a second end face, the first end face being open and the second end face being plugged, and a plurality of second cells extending from the first end face to the second end face, the first end face being plugged and the second end face being open, in which the first cells and the second cells are alternately arranged adjacent to each other with porous partition walls interposed therebetween; and a low thermal conductive layer covering a part or the whole of an outer peripheral side surface of the pillar-shaped honeycomb structure portion, the thermal conductivity in a thickness direction of the low thermal conductive layer being 0.6 W/(m.Math.K) or less.

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.

A heat shield comprises a first thermal insulation section and a second thermal insulation section, wherein the second thermal insulation section is axially connected to the first thermal insulation section, and the thermal insulation performance of the second thermal insulation section is lower than that of the first thermal insulation section. The heat shield is advantageous in that it cannot only achieve a good integral thermal insulation effect, but also protect thermal-fatigue weak zones of an exhaust system shell, so as to prolong the operating life of the exhaust system and reduce the costs of maintenance and repair for an automobile, etc.

The device for injecting a fluid into an exhaust pipe comprises a fluid reservoir, an enclosure delimiting a fluid heating chamber, and a first injection system configured to inject the fluid from the reservoir into the heating chamber. At least one heating element extends at least partially into the heating chamber and is intended to be in contact with the fluid, with the at least one heating element being configured to heat the fluid. A second injection system is configured to inject the heated fluid from the heating chamber into the exhaust pipe.

In a process for manufacturing a component for an emissions treatment unit, green ceramic product is extruded through a die to form an extrusion having a honeycomb substrate structure with an array of parallel, linear tubular cells extending along its length, the cells bounded by walls dividing adjacent cells from one another. A ceramic unit is obtained by cutting off, curing and firing a length of the extrusion a length of the extrusion. Following the firing, a mixture of a flowable, uncured curable material and a particulate metal component is injected from an end of the ceramic unit into selected ones of the cells so as to block the selected cells over at least a part of their lengths while maintaining all of the walls of the ceramic unit. The injected mixture is then cured to render it solid.

A vehicle comprising: an engine comprising two banks of cylinders having axial directions angled relative to each other to form a region running between the axial directions of the two banks; a plurality of exhaust components located in the region; and a heat shield enclosing the exhaust components between the engine and the heat shield, the heat shield comprising an inner surface facing the exhaust components, a first heat shield inlet and a heat shield outlet, and the heat shield being configured to channel an airflow between the first heat shield inlet and the heat shield outlet over the inner surface of the heat shield.
