A vehicle exhaust system includes an injector assembly having an injector mount configured to mount an injector to an exhaust component. The injector mount includes a spray opening surrounding a spray axis. An injector housing extends from an inlet end that receives exhaust gases to an outlet end. The inlet end defines a planar area that is transverse to the spray axis. A spray protector extends axially from the injector mount to break the planar area. A vehicle exhaust component assembly comprising a mixer with the injector assembly and a method for injecting a fluid into an exhaust component using the injector assembly are also disclosed.

A static mixer for exhaust gas ducts of internal combustion engines includes an elongated hollow metal body having a shape which, relative to a symmetry axis, substantially corresponds to a solid of revolution defining at its inside a cavity having opposite bases, at least one of which has an axial opening, and a closed lateral wall connecting the opposite bases and having at least one radial opening over which a concave blade is arranged extending radially outward from a portion of the peripheral edge of the radial opening and surrounding a portion of the radial opening so as to define, in a first angular direction relative to the symmetry axis, a corresponding concave screen or spoon and, in a second, opposite direction, a mouth intended for the passage of gases and located substantially in front of the concave screen or spoon.

A mixing chamber for mixing an additive in an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine includes a housing, a flow-guiding element and a downstream substrate. The flow-guiding element is arranged within the housing between an inlet opening and an outlet opening. The flow-guiding element is tubular and forms a channel including a channel wall, one inlet and one outlet, via which all of the exhaust gas is guided through the channel to the outlet.

A mixer for an exhaust system for mixing reactant injected into an exhaust gas stream with exhaust gas includes a mixer body (22). The mixer body includes a reactant passage body area (24) with a reactant passage opening (26), a mixer plate body area (30) adjoining the reactant passage body area (24) on one side in a mixer longitudinal direction (L) and a mixer main body area (36) adjoining the reactant passage body area (24) in the mixer longitudinal direction (L) on another side opposite the one side.

A mixer duct for mixing of a turbulent flow includes an inlet, an outlet in fluid communication with the inlet, and at least one static mixer element located between the inlet and the outlet. The at least one static mixer element includes at least two at least substantially coplanar plate-like segments spaced apart by a substantially longitudinal gap. Each segment is attached to a duct wall and comprises at least two free edges, with one free edge being a leading edge and the other free edge adjacent to the longitudinal gap. The at least two segments are inclined relative to a duct axis so that their leading edge is oriented up-stream in the mixer duct and substantially perpendicular to a direction of a main fluid flow.

A hydrodynamic cavitation generating device and a method, including: a wheel disc, being provided with a plurality of flow passages, an orifice plate is provided inside the flow passages, and a throat orifice is provided on the orifice plate; a driving mechanism, being connected to the wheel disc, and configured to drive a rotation of the wheel disc; and a water-inlet pipe, being arranged fixedly, fitting with a first side end face of the wheel disc, and may inject water into the flow passage when being aligned with the flow passage; the cavitation effect obtained by using the hydraulic cavitation generating device is better.

A device for supplying a chemical reactant into the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, comprising: a mixer housing; a metering pipe passing through the mixer housing, towards which the exhaust flow flowing into the mixer housing flows in a transverse direction, and having a first end and a second end; a metering unit arranged at the first end of the metering pipe and connected to a reactant supply for discharging reactant into the metering pipe; and means for generating a swirl flow of the exhaust flow within the metering pipe. The metering pipe has at least one inflow opening extending over a casing surface segment of no less than 45° in the circumferential direction and extending over at least one section of the length of the metering pipe, said inflow opening having a shovel-like hood arranged on the metering pipe and directing the exhaust flow eccentrically into the inflow opening.

A mixer for a vehicle exhaust system includes a mixer housing that defines an interior cavity for engine exhaust gases, and which includes a doser opening formed within a wall of the mixer housing. A cone has a cone inlet opening aligned with the doser opening and a cone outlet into the interior cavity. A diverter has at least one first opening that is open to the interior cavity and a second opening that surrounds the cone outlet. Exhaust flow is directed by the diverter to the cone inlet opening to be mixed with a fluid injected through the doser opening.

A mixer arrangement for aftertreatment of exhaust gas including comprising a housing configured to form a cavity including a center flow channel in which the exhaust gas flows; and at least one side inlet arrangement configured to allow the exhaust gas to enter the center flow channel from the sides thereof and configured to cause an advancing center flow in the center flow channel and a rotating flow around or on the edges of the center flow in the center flow channel; wherein the at least one side inlet arrangement contains at least a pair of side inlet pipes on the side of the center flow channel.

The invention relates to an ejector nozzle having a liquid-carrying duct and a gas-carrying duct. The gas-carrying duct opens into the liquid-carrying duct upstream of an outlet opening. The insert acting as a flame arrester is positioned in the gas-carrying duct. The insert is configured in such a way that no gas can flow around the insert. The invention furthermore relates to use of the ejector nozzle in a jet loop reactor.
