A flow path member for a heat exchanger includes: an inner cylinder capable of housing a heat recovery member through which a first fluid can flow; an outer cylinder having a feed port capable of feeding a second fluid and a discharge port capable of discharging the second fluid, the outer cylinder being disposed so as to be spaced on a radially outer side of the inner cylinder such that a flow path for the second fluid is formed between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder; a feed pipe connected to the feed port; and a discharge pipe connected to the discharge port. The feed port and the discharge port are provided so as to be located in a distance of less than half the circumference of the outer cylinder in a circumferential direction.

A system may include a turbine and a recuperative heat exchanger system. The recuperative heat exchanger system is configured to receive exhaust gases from the turbine. The recuperative heat exchanger system may include a precool section to cool the exhaust gases, a major heating section to receive the cooled the exhaust gases, and a minor heating section to receive the cooled the exhaust gases.

A system and method to improve the efficiency of an internal combustion engine by delivering an air/fuel mixture to the combustion chamber in a pure gaseous state. The system accepts an air/fuel mixture from a carburetor or injector which is placed into a vaporized state before entering the combustion chamber of the engine. An intake track capable of withstanding exhaust gas temperatures of an internal combustion engine is constructed and arranged to cause vaporization of fuel and inhibit the vaporization from condensing.

An exhaust gas treatment system, comprising an ozone purification system. The ozone purification system comprises an ozone amount control apparatus (209), used to control an amount of ozone so as to effectively oxidize gas components to be treated in exhaust gas, the ozone amount control apparatus (209) comprising a control unit (2091). By means of the present exhaust gas treatment system, particulate matter can be effectively removed from exhaust gas, and the system features a better exhaust gas purification treatment effect.

An engine exhaust gas dust-removal system and method. The engine exhaust gas dust-removal system comprises an exhaust gas dust-removal system inlet, an exhaust gas dust-removal system outlet, and an exhaust gas electric field device The engine exhaust gas dust-removal system has a better dust-removal effect, and can effectively remove particulate matters in engine exhaust gas.

An assembly for a motor vehicle has an exhaust gas-carrying pipe in which an adjustable element is arranged to control an exhaust gas flow through the exhaust gas-carrying pipe. An actuator is used to adjust the adjustable element. The actuator is connected in a planar manner to a vehicle structure via a connecting surface.

A tubular heat exchanger, with a thermoelectric power generation function, includes: a thermoelectric power generation module 2 mounted on an outer circumferential surface of the heat exhaust tube 1; and a cooling pipe 3 mounted on an outer circumferential surface of the thermoelectric power generation module 2. The cooling pipe 3 is for allowing a cooling material to flow therethrough. The thermoelectric power generation module 2 performs thermoelectric power generation by using the outer circumferential surface of the heat exhaust tube 1 as a high-temperature source and using the inner circumferential surface of the cooling pipe 3 as a low-temperature source. The cooling pipe 3 is in tight attachment to the outer circumferential surface of the thermoelectric power generation module 2.

Heat recovery component for an exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine, comprising an inlet, an outlet, a heat recovery branch conduit comprising a heat recovery branch conduit inlet, a heat recovery branch conduit outlet, and a heat exchanger arranged in the heat recovery branch conduit, a bypass branch conduit being separate from the heat recovery branch conduit, and a valve being configured to be rotatable between a heat recovery end position and a bypass end position, the valve being arranged to be rotatable around a rotation axis located in the bypass branch conduit, wherein the valve comprises a bypass valve flap and a heat recovery valve flap, the bypass valve flap and the heat recovery valve flap being operatively connected by a support.

A combined heating and power system is configured to generate energy as well capture a large percentage of energy that would otherwise be lost using components, including heat transfer components, embedded within a vessel to transfer energy in the form of heat to liquid within the vessel.

An exhaust component assembly for a vehicle exhaust system includes a housing defining an internal cavity configured to receive an exhaust gas after-treatment component. A first chamber is in fluid communication with the internal cavity upstream of the exhaust gas after-treatment component. A first nozzle introduces fluid into the first chamber and a first valve controls flow of the fluid from the first chamber into the internal cavity. A heat source is associated with the first nozzle or first chamber. A second chamber is in fluid communication with the internal cavity upstream of the exhaust gas after-treatment component, and the second chamber is a non-heated chamber. A second nozzle introduces fluid into the second chamber and a second valve controls flow of the fluid from the second chamber into the internal cavity. A controller controls the first and second valves based on at least one predetermined operating condition.
