Muffler for an exhaust system
A muffler (1) for an exhaust system of a motor vehicle internal combustion engine has a housing (2), with an exhaust gas inlet (4) and an exhaust gas outlet (5), including a circumferentially extending jacket (16) and end panels (14, 15) each axial ends. A chamber (18) in the housing interior (3), through which exhaust gas flows during operation, is axially limited by intermediate panels (20, 21) at axial ends. The thermal load on the jacket (16) is reduced with an insulating shell (29), arranged in the housing interior, extending in the circumferential direction (17) along the jacket (16). The two intermediate panels (20, 21) are supported on the insulating shell (29), each with an outer panel edge (30, 31). The insulating shell (29) is supported radially on the jacket (16) with a shell edge (33). An insulating gap (35) is formed radially between the jacket and the insulating shell.
ENGINE SYSTEM FOR WORKING MACHINE
An engine system for a working machine includes an engine disposed in a main body of the working machine, an exhaust manifold coupled to the engine, a tail pipe, an exhaust-gas purification device disposed in the main body and including an exhaust-gas inlet-side housing including an exhaust-gas inlet coupled to the exhaust manifold, and an exhaust-gas outlet-side housing including an exhaust-gas outlet coupled to the tail pipe, the exhaust-gas purification device being configured to purify exhaust gas discharged from the engine and cause the purified exhaust gas to be discharged from the tail pipe to an outside of the engine system, and a silencer housing disposed as needed in any one or both of the exhaust-gas inlet-side housing and the exhaust-gas outlet-side housing to attenuate exhaust sound of the engine.
EXHAUST MUFFLER
An exhaust muffler comprises a hollow body and an exhaust pipe disposed at least partially within the hollow body. The hollow body defines a first set of apertures on the hollow body and the exhaust pipe defines a second set of apertures and a third set of apertures on the exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe has an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface defines a primary exhaust gas flow path (P). At least one divider allows the exhaust pipe to pass therethrough, and divides the hollow body into a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber defines a reservoir fluidly associated with the primary exhaust gas flow path (P) via the second set of apertures, and to the environment via the first set of apertures. The second chamber is fluidly associated with the primary exhaust gas flow path (P) via the third set of apertures.
