A heat insulating sheet member capable of enhancing a heat insulating performance of an exhaust gas introduction path by an easy operation, including such a path in a turbocharger. The heat insulating sheet member is a bendable member formed from an inorganic flexible material. The heat insulating sheet member includes a first region corresponding to an inlet of a bottom wall portion, a second region corresponding to at least a terminating end portion of the scroll portion, a third region provided between the first region and the second region and corresponding to a coupling wall portion, and a fourth region corresponding to an outer peripheral wall portion. The first region and the third region, the third region and the second region, and the first region and the fourth region are coupled to each other with the inorganic flexible material in a continuous state.

A riding lawn mower has an internal combustion engine and a muffler with a first housing. The internal combustion engine is connected to the muffler to supply exhaust gases originating from the internal combustion engine to the first housing of the muffler for noise damping of the exhaust gases. A second housing is provided that thermally insulates the first housing of the muffler. The second housing at least partially encloses the first housing of the muffler. The second housing has an exterior side with an emissivity of greater than 0.8.

A cylinder head arrangement for an internal combustion engine is provided. The cylinder head includes an integrated exhaust manifold having first and second exhaust passages to collect exhaust gas from respective cylinders to direct the exhaust gas to respective outlets of the cylinder head. The cylinder head includes a flange where the first and second outlets exit the cylinder head for connection with a turbocharger.

An after treatment system (ATS) for a vehicle having an ATS module includes, fluidly connected in series, an inlet, a Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC), a urea mixer and a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), and an outlet. The inlet is fluidly connected to an output of an engine of the vehicle and the outlet is fluidly connected to an outlet tube of the vehicle. The inlet, DOC, mixer, SCR and outlet are arranged to define a substantial rectangular path of a flow (F) of exhaust gases flowing in the ATS, with the inlet and the outlet being positioned at a same vertex of the substantial rectangular path of the flow (F).

A pipe structure includes a pipe disposed in a state of contact with the air, a fluid with a temperature of at least 100° C. flowing inside the pipe; and a coating material containing nickel oxide and coated onto an outer periphery portion of the pipe.

An exhaust system that includes a catalytic converter, selective catalytic reduction system, a muffler and, for certain applications, a diesel particulate filter that each include at least one filter that has an electric heating element, a metallic coating and a plurality of metal rods extending therethrough. The combination of elements are configured to heat the internal housings of the exhaust system and disrupt the direction of flow of exhaust gases which contain harmful toxic gases and pollutants and aid in removing and/or reducing said toxic gases and pollutants.

A component of an exhaust system, in particular of an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, has a double-walled pipe which encloses at least one air gap. The double-walled pipe includes at least two layers positioned radially over each other and attached to each other at a plurality of fixing points distributed over a periphery. At least one of the layers is a structured layer and has a wave structure with a plurality of wave crests and wave troughs distributed along the periphery. For manufacturing the component, at least one sheet metal strip is provided, which is structured in sections to give it a wave form. A brazing material is applied at the intended fixing points. The sheet metal strip is then wound up to form the double-walled pipe. The latter is calibrated, and the layers are connected at the fixing points by induction brazing.

An exhaust muffler for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine includes a muffler housing (12) with an outer shell (14) enclosing a muffler interior (22), through which exhaust gas can flow. An inner shell (54) is arranged in the muffler interior (22) and covers the outer shell (14) in at least some areas on an inner side (52) facing the muffler interior (22).

A cylinder head arrangement for an internal combustion engine is provided. The cylinder head includes an integrated exhaust manifold having first and second exhaust passages to collect exhaust gas from respective cylinders to direct the exhaust gas to respective outlets of the cylinder head. The cylinder head includes a flange where the first and second outlets exit the cylinder head for connection with a turbocharger.
