An exhaust chamber is disposed in an exhaust passage through which exhaust gas from an engine passes. The exhaust chamber includes: an inner case having a chamber expansion region therein; and an outer case configured to cover a portion of the inner case. The inner case has a first inner case half and a second inner case half which are obtained by division into two parts, and is formed by the first inner case half and the second inner case half being joined to each other at an inner joining portion. The outer case has a first outer case piece and a second outer case piece which are spaced from each other. The first outer case piece and the second outer case piece are each joined to a portion, on an outer surface of the inner case, which portion is different from the inner joining portion.

Disclosed herein is a meta-muffler for reducing broadband noise. The meta-muffler includes: a flow pipe through which a fluid flows; an outer barrel disposed outside the flow pipe to be spaced apart from the flow pipe; and multiple metastructures arranged in a flow direction of the fluid and each comprising an opening opened parallel to the flow direction of the fluid, a resonance chamber disposed between the flow pipe and the outer barrel and communicating with the flow pipe through the opening, and a neck adjustment member extending from the outer barrel toward the flow pipe to be spaced apart from the opening in the flow direction of the fluid. The meta-muffler can increase transmission loss of noise flowing through the flow pipe through maximization of energy loss of sound waves entering the resonance chamber of the metastructure and can effectively attenuate noise over a wide band ranging from low frequencies to high frequencies.

A muffler includes a shell, baffles, and a plurality of pipes. The shell defines first and second end cavities and a central cavity. The end cavities have larger cross-sectional areas that a cross-sectional area of the central cavity. The baffles cooperate to form multiple chambers within the shell. A first inlet directs a first portion of the exhaust into a first chamber. A second inlet directs a second portion of the exhaust into a second chamber. A first pipe extends through first, third and fourth baffles and includes an inlet in the fourth chamber. The first pipe directs exhaust from the fourth chamber to a first outlet at the first end cavity. A second pipe extends through the second, third and fourth baffles and includes an inlet in the third chamber. The second pipe directs exhaust from the third chamber to a second outlet at the second end cavity.

A modular silencer for use on a compressor or blower mounted on a vehicle. The compressor has an intake port and an exhaust port, and the silencer has an inlet port in communication with the exhaust port of the compressor. The silencer includes a silencer housing and a resonator assembly removably positioned inside the housing. In one embodiment, the compressor includes a compressor housing and a power input shaft protruding from the compressor housing adjacent the air exhaust port. The silencer housing preferably includes a concave portion that at least partially receives the power input shaft. The silencer housing can also include a groove on the inner surface, and the resonator assembly can be at least partially positioned in the groove. Preferably, the resonator assembly includes a resonator plate, a plurality of resonator pipes extending through the plate, and a reinforcing flange coupled between at least two of the resonator pipes.

A silencer includes conduit with a downstream end portion configured from a tubular member which includes a conduit discharge port extending through a silencer main body and discharges exhaust gas to the outside therethrough. The tubular member includes a resonance communication hole communicating with a resonance chamber and an upstream side communication hole and a downstream side communication hole communicating with a second chamber. A barrier wall serving as a throttle portion for throttling an exhaust path at an intermediate location of the tubular member is provided in the inside of the tubular member and between the upstream side communication hole and the downstream side communication hole.

A pipe (11), carrying exhaust gas, of an exhaust system (1) of an internal combustion engine (9), with a tubular body (15) carrying exhaust gas, and with at least one attachment part (12) separate with respect to the tubular body (15), which is added laterally to the tubular body (15) so that externally on the tubular body (15) a cavity (13) is arranged delimited at least partially by the attachment part (12), which extends in the circumferential direction (14) of the tubular body (15) over less than 360.

A muffler for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine includes a housing with a circumferential wall. At least one resonator chamber (48) is defined by the circumferential wall and two base walls (28, 22), that are provided in the housing. At least one resonator pipe (50), with a first pipe end (51) and with a second pipe end (56), is connected to one of the base walls (28) in the area of a first opening (52) in the one of the base walls (28). In the alternative or in addition the one of the base walls (28) traverses an interior space such that the first pipe end (51) lies outside of the resonator chamber (48), with the second pipe end (56) being fixed to the other base wall (22).

An exhaust gas muffler of an internal combustion engine, including a muffler housing having an exhaust gas inlet and an exhaust gas outlet and including a first Helmholtz resonator made of a first housing portion that delimits a first Helmholtz volume and includes a first coupling pipe. At least one second Helmholtz resonator is provided made of a second housing portion that delimits a second Helmholtz volume and includes a second coupling pipe via which the second Helmholtz volume can be coupled to an exhaust gas flow A of the exhaust gas inlet. The second coupling pipe is arranged at least partly within the first coupling pipe, and both coupling pipes delimit an annular gap R via which the first Helmholtz volume can be coupled to the exhaust gas flow A.

A suppressor for a gaseous fuel system is disclosed. The suppressor may include a cylindrical body having a first end opposite a second end along an axis. A vent opening may be disposed at the second end. A conduit may pass through the first end and may have an inlet disposed outside the cylindrical body and an outlet disposed inside the cylindrical body. The suppressor may include an acoustic core between the outlet of the conduit and the vent opening and configured to reduce a sound level of fluids exiting the conduit. The suppressor may include a thermal mass between the outlet of the conduit and the vent opening, wherein the thermal mass includes fluid channels and is configured to transfer heat energy to fluids exiting the conduit.

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).
