This invention is primarily designed as a low pressure, steady volume supply static mixer manifold for a high pressure pump. A manifold fluid supply is achieved through the use of a centrifugal pump. The design comprises an internal diffuser cylindrical tube inside an external rectangular tube in which static mixing occurs. Capped at one end, the internal diffuser pipe, with flow coming from the opposite side, allows for one flow direction diffused into the outer rectangular tube that then allows for constant bidirectional flow at a constant pressure throughout. while adequately mixing all parts of the fluid makeup. The flow of slurry components between the cylindrical tube and the rectangular tube supports static mixing in part by creating alternating flow pressures between mixing ports (allowing flow of slurry components from the cylindrical tube) and the exit ports based on the different geometries of the cylindrical tube and rectangular tube. The combination of flow and pressure exiting the cylindrical tube through the mixing ports, at an angle to the bottom corners of the outer rectangular tube, creates a natural agitation of the slurry components. The manifold feeds 2 or 5 suction ports into the pump through polls exiting the rectangular outer tube at the top. The pump pulls fluid at intervals much the same way an internal combustion engine fires, in a repeated/patterned order designed to reduce system vibrations. The invention provides consistent pressure and a properly mixed slurry to each suction port. The cutouts in the inner tube are sized and spaced for providing the proper flow, mix, and pressure to each exit port. The cylindrical tube is held in place within the rectangular tube using a standard pipe flange and affixed by any known means to the rectangular tube. This allows for flow 360 degrees within the rectangular tube. As the slurry components flow into the corners of the rectangular tube through the mixing ports on the cylindrical tube, the slurry becomes turbulent but nonetheless creates a constant flow within the mixing chamber between the cylindrical tube and the rectangular tube, and up towards the exit ports leading out of the invention and into the pump. The result of the design is a more consistent slurry, of even pressure and equal flow to all suction ports as the pump pulls the slurry. This allows for a more even wear of the pump parts and less pressure fluctuations between ports. The pump will require less service, and the invention allows the high pressure fluid leaving the main pump to be a much more reliable mix. In the event that the outer or inner tube reaches the end of its effectiveness due to wear, the flanged connectio

The exhaust line comprises an injection segment including at least one cup having a large upstream face directly sprayed with the exhaust gases and dividing a circulation passage into an upstream space and a downstream space. The injection segment comprises at least one circumferential conduit fluidically connecting the upstream space to the downstream space. The cup defines at least one injection channel and at least one guiding area laid out so as to guide as far as said injection channel a portion of the exhaust gases spraying the large upstream face. An injection device includes a reagent injector that is oriented to inject the reagent substantially with a co-current or counter-current of the exhaust gases in the injection channel, with the latter extending from the injector as far as the inlet of the conduit.

An exhaust gas purification device including: a tube-shaped casing; a pipe that is disposed at the downstream side of the casing, is inserted into the casing so as to extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the casing, and is provided with a through-hole communicating with the casing; a guide member that guides the exhaust gas inside the casing to the through-hole; and an injection device that injects a reduction agent from an upstream end of the pipe into the pipe. Then, the guide member includes a turning guide member that guides the exhaust gas to the through-hole from the tangential direction of the pipe so as to generate a swirl flow inside the pipe and a protecting guide member that covers the upstream side of an injection area of the reduction agent in the axial direction of the casing.

A dosing and mixing arrangement including an exhaust conduit defining a central axis; a mixing conduit positioned within the exhaust conduit; a dispersing arrangement (e.g., a mesh) disposed at the upstream end of the mixing conduit; an injector coupled to the exhaust conduit and configured to direct reactants into the exhaust conduit towards the mesh; and an annular bypass defined between the mixing conduit and the exhaust conduit for allowing exhaust to bypass the upstream end of the mixing conduit and to enter the mixing conduit downstream of the mesh.

A vehicle exhaust system includes an exhaust component defining an engine exhaust gas passageway and which includes an opening. A doser defines a doser axis and extends to a doser tip that is configured to spray a reducing agent into the engine exhaust gas passageway through the opening. A cone has a base end positioned adjacent the opening such that an annular gap is formed within the exhaust component around the doser tip. Exhaust gas is directed into the base end of the cone through the annular gap in a direction transverse to the doser axis. This configuration reduces deposit formation while still allowing the reducing agent to be thoroughly mixed with engine exhaust gases prior to introduction of the mixture into a downstream exhaust component.

An exhaust treatment device is disclosed. The exhaust treatment device has a compact configuration that includes integrated reactant dosing, reactant mixing and contaminant removal/treatment. The mixing can be achieved at least in part by a swirl structure and contaminant removal can include NO.sub.x reduction.

An injector 3 is arranged in the outflow direction of the exhaust gas 4 to inject urea water 5 (additive) to an entry side of the lattice board 7 such that flow passage walls of the lattice board 7 on which hit is the exhaust gas 4 from upstream has rear surfaces on which hit is a spray of urea water 5 from the injector 3.
