A novel sound absorbing sheet material with a unique combination of micro-louver slit parameters and patterns provides superior noise attenuation and a reduced perforation area (less than 3.5%) to better protect fiberglass insulation when used in a muffler assembly. A muffler assembly is disclosed incorporating the novel sound absorbing sheet as the inner exhaust conduit.

A decomposition chamber for an exhaust gas aftertreatment system includes an inlet tube, a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst member, a mixing collector wall, a distribution cap, and a dividing tube. The inlet tube is configured to receive exhaust gas. The mixing collector wall includes a mixing assembly flow aperture. The distribution cap is coupled to the inlet tube and configured to receive the exhaust gas from the inlet tube. The dividing tube is coupled to the mixing collector wall. The dividing tube separates the distribution cap from the mixing assembly flow aperture. The dividing tube includes a first dividing tube inlet aperture that is configured to receive the exhaust gas from the distribution cap. The dividing tube outlet aperture is configured to provide the exhaust gas to the mixing assembly flow aperture.

An end-piece is intended to equip an air inlet nozzle for an exhaust gas purification device, in particular for an internal combustion engine. The end-piece comprises a lateral wall with a general shape of revolution, and at least a first air outlet port provided in the lateral wall.

An outlet assembly for an aftertreatment system comprises an outlet conduit configured to receive an exhaust gas from the aftertreatment system. The outlet conduit defines a first aperture through a sidewall thereof. An outlet passage is disposed within the outlet conduit. The outlet passage comprises a first end facing an upstream side of the outlet conduit and a second end located downstream from the first end. The second end is fluidly coupled to the first aperture. A hole is defined through an outlet passage sidewall at a radial location that is proximate to the sidewall of the outlet conduit. The hole is configured to allow a sensor to be inserted therethrough into a flow path defined by the outlet passage. The outlet passage is configured to receive a portion of the exhaust gas from the outlet conduit such that the sensor is exposed to the portion of the exhaust gas.

An exhaust device in which an exhaust passage wraps around from a front side of an engine to a lower side of the engine and extends to a rear side is provided. The exhaust device includes a catalyst configured to purify exhaust gas in the exhaust passage and disposed in front of the engine, and a gas sensor disposed on a wall surface of the exhaust passage at an upstream side than the catalyst. The gas sensor is disposed in front of the engine so as to be directed toward the engine.

An exhaust structure for an engine includes: a catalyst converter configured to purify exhaust gas of the engine; a catalyst pipe in which the catalyst converter is accommodated; and a lead-out pipe configured to lead the exhaust gas to the catalyst pipe. The lead-out pipe is closed at a downstream end thereof, and has a plurality of discharge holes formed in a peripheral wall thereof.

An end-piece is intended to equip an air inlet nozzle for an exhaust gas purification device, in particular for an internal combustion engine. The end-piece comprises a lateral wall with a general shape of revolution, and at least a first air outlet port provided in the lateral wall.

A component of an exhaust system for an internal combustion engine comprises a wall in which at least one opening is provided. A perforated cover at least partly closes the at least one opening. The perforated cover is mounted on the wall using a holder, and a portion of the perforated cover engages into an opening provided on the holder. There is also presented an exhaust system comprising such a component, and a method for manufacturing such a component, in which the perforated cover is mounted on the holder by introducing at least one portion of the perforated cover into an opening provided on the holder.

A device may include a first pipe and a second pipe defining a first and second flow path through a muffler body. The second pipe is a muffled flow path and includes a plurality of perforations configured to allow exhaust gasses flowing therethrough to disperse out of the second pipe and into an interior volume of the muffler body. A device may include a valve disposed in the first flow path, wherein when the valve is in an open position exhaust gases flow through the first flow path and when the valve is in a closed position exhaust gases flow through the second flow path. A device may include a controller configured to selectively cause the valve to transition from the open position to the closed position.

A forklift includes a downstream exhaust pipe that releases engine exhaust gas into the atmosphere. The downstream exhaust pipe includes a tail pipe extending in a width direction of a vehicle body. A closure part that closes a tail pipe's opening is provided at the tail pipe's tip end portion. A first exhaust port which discharges the exhaust gas rearward from the vehicle body and a second exhaust port which discharges the exhaust gas rearward from the vehicle body at the tail pipe's tip end side with respect to the first exhaust port are provided in the tail pipe's circumferential surface portion. The first exhaust port and the second exhaust port are disposed in a region where cooling air flows. A throttling part that changes a flow path area for the exhaust gas is disposed between the first exhaust port and the second exhaust port in the tail pipe.
