Systems and methods are provided for a combined spark arrestor and muffler assembly. In one example, a system may include a combined housing, the combined housing including a spark arrestor portion including a plurality of stator fins, and a muffler portion including acoustic packing, the muffler portion fluidically coupled to the spark arrestor portion via a first sliding joint and a second sliding joint. In this way, a single component of a vehicle exhaust system may reduce sparks and/or carbon deposits in exhaust gas, while also reducing exhaust noise.

Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed for clamping an exhaust manifold to a cylinder head with at least one clamp that is configured to allow thermal expansion and movement of the exhaust manifold while preventing exhaust leaks through the exhaust manifold and cylinder head connection.

An apparatus for shielding hot regions, in particular of an internal combustion engine, includes a heat shield with a through hole. The apparatus has a component, in particular a heat source, with a fastening region which has a receptacle and a shoulder which surrounds the receptacle at least partially. The shoulder extends through the through hole of the heat shield. The apparatus has a fastening element, in particular a screw, which fastens the heat shield to the fastening region, the fastening element being supported on the shoulder, extending through the through hole of the heat shield, and being fastened in the receptacle.

A heating element for a vehicle exhaust gas purification device is provided and is to be disposed in an exhaust gas duct. The heating element extends around a central axis. and comprises a central support defined around the central axis, a heating grid extending radially around the central support, and a liaison element. The liaison element comprises a plurality of mounting brackets comprising at least a first part connecting the mounting brackets to the heating grid, at least a second part connecting the bracket to the duct, intended to be directly or indirectly attached to the duct, and at least one intermediate section connecting the first connecting part to the second connecting part. The connecting element is at least partially radially flexible.

A decoupling element for reducing structure-borne noise, particularly for use in a heat shield system, having a sleeve element with an insertion opening for the insertion of a fastener for fastening to a partner fastener, wherein the insertion opening extends in an axial direction of the sleeve element and the sleeve element has collars protruding in a radial direction, which are spaced apart from each other in the axial direction, wherein between the collars, a damping element is positioned, which extends radially outward beyond the collars and is provided to be fastened to a heat-shielding part by means of a fastening element, and the damping element is embodied as a metal wire structure, wherein the damping element is positioned so that it is elastically prestressed in the axial direction in a gap between the collars of the sleeve element.

Disclosed is a work vehicle having a load carrier deck provided at a rear portion of a vehicle body to be vertically pivotable between an elevated discharging posture and a lowered load carrying posture. An engine section is provided under the load carrier deck. The engine section includes an engine, an exhaust muffler for the engine, and a muffler heat insulating cover for covering an outer circumference of the exhaust muffler. The muffler heat insulating cover is supported by a vehicle body frame via an anti-vibration member.

A connector including: a first buffer member that includes a spiral-shaped wire in a plan view; a second buffer member that has a substantially annular and flat plate-like shape, and that is capable of warping in a thickness direction; a collar member that includes a cylindrical portion surrounded by the first buffer member and the second buffer member, a first flange facing a radially inner side of the first buffer member, and a second flange facing a radially inner side of the second buffer member; and a coupling member that includes a first holder section holding radially outer sides of the first buffer member and the second buffer member, a second holder section holding the shielding body, and a coupling member base portion.

In order to improve a sealing system, particularly for sealing against hot gas, it is proposed that it comprise a sealing element or a plurality of sealing elements and a support device for the sealing element or for the sealing elements, wherein the sealing system is constructed such that the one or at least one sealing element is arranged on the support device with play in at least one sealing state of the sealing system.

The invention relates to a ship, comprising: at least one casing that delimits a cavity extending vertically across the ship's decks; at least one exhaust flue that is installed inside said casing and comprises a plurality of concentrated mass components and a plurality of components with mass distributed in length; a plurality of structures that support the plurality of said components inside the casing. Said support structures comprise: a plurality of main platforms, which define a main support base inside said cavity and is connected to walls of the casing at a ship deck by means of the interposition of main elastic suspensions; and a plurality of secondary platforms, which are directly or indirectly supported only by one of said main platforms and defines a secondary support base arranged at a different height with respect to the main support base that is defined by the corresponding main platform.
