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.

The gas turbine engine including, in serial flow communication, a compressor, a combustor, a turbine, and a fluid system fluidly connecting at least two components of the gas turbine engine, also includes a tunable resonator in fluid flow communication with the fluid system, the tunable resonator. The tunable resonator has a resonating volume that varies as a function of a volume of an inflatable member located inside the tunable resonator. The inflatable member having a means for varying the volume of the inflatable member, to thereby tune the resonating volume to a selected frequency of pressure fluctuations or acoustic waves within the fluid system.

A sound generation assembly unit, for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, includes a sound generation module (16) with a sound generation module housing to be arranged at an exhaust gas guide element (12) of the exhaust system (14). At least one loudspeaker unit (20) is arranged in the sound generation module housing (18). A rear volume module (30) includes a rear volume module housing (32) and a rear volume (34) formed in the rear volume module housing (32). The rear volume module housing (32) is connected or can be connected to the sound generation module housing (18) for the acoustic coupling of the rear volume (34) to the at least one loudspeaker unit (20).

An exhaust valve for a muffler which is mounted inside the muffler includes: a mounting bracket having an arc shape; a shaft which is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket; a flap which is fixed to the shaft and rotates together with the shaft; and an elastic member which elastically support the flap with respect to the mounting bracket.

An exhaust gas system for an internal combustion engine includes a first exhaust gas line leading into a first muffler; a second exhaust gas line arranged fluidly parallel to the first exhaust gas line and leading into a second muffler, wherein the first and second exhaust gas lines are respectively connected upstream of the first and second muffler at a branch to a common exhaust gas feed line; a control valve arranged in the first exhaust gas line upstream of the first muffler; and a damping device fluidly arranged between the branch and the control valve and adapted for damping exhaust gas resonance vibrations.

A silencer for noise reduction at an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The silencer comprises an input opening, an output opening, at least one chamber, and at least one partition configured to be inserted into and removed from the at least one chamber to convert the silencer to a collector.

A muffler assembly for a vehicle exhaust system including a muffler that has a primary muffler conduit with a primary resonator, a secondary muffler conduit with a secondary resonator, and a valve that directs exhaust flow through both the primary and secondary muffler conduits or primarily through the secondary muffler conduit depending on the position of the valve. The muffler provides a first level of sound attenuation when the valve is in an open position and a second level of sound attenuation when the valve is in a closed position. The second level of sound attenuation is greater than the first level of sound attenuation and therefore the muffler provides a louder exhaust sound when the valve is in the open position and a quieter exhaust sound when the valve is in the closed position.
