A mixer mixes exhaust gas (A) flowing in an exhaust gas-carrying duct of an internal combustion engine with reactant (R) injected into the exhaust gas-carrying duct. The mixer includes a mixer body (32) with a reactant receiving duct (48), an exhaust gas inlet opening arrangement (70) with a plurality of exhaust gas inlet openings (72, 74, 76, 78, 80) leading to the reactant receiving duct, and at least one release duct (62, 66) leading away from the reactant receiving duct (48) with a release duct opening (64, 66) for the release of a reactant/exhaust gas mixture from the mixer body (32).

Methods related generally to the removal of atmospheric pollutants from the gas phase, are provided. The methods involve contacting a first stream comprising NO and/or NO.sub.2 with a second stream comprising (ClO.sub.2).sup.0 to provide a third stream comprising NO and NO.sub.2 at a molar ratio of about 1:1; and contacting the third stream with a fourth stream comprising an aqueous metal hydroxide (MOH) solution to convert NO and NO.sub.2 to MNO.sub.2.

Systems are provided for a mixer configured to be used in either an intake or exhaust passage. In one example, a mixer in the intake passage may be adapted to mix EGR with intake air and a mixer in the exhaust passage may be adapted to mix urea with exhaust gas.

A vehicle exhaust system includes an upstream exhaust component comprising at least a first catalyst having a first outer dimension, a downstream exhaust component comprising at least a second catalyst having a second outer dimension, and a mixer that connects the upstream and downstream exhaust components. The mixer comprises a first portion associated with an outlet from the first catalyst and a second portion associated with an inlet to the second catalyst. The first portion includes a swirl component having a first length and the second portion includes an additional component having a second length. A connection interface between the first and second portions allows the upstream and downstream exhaust components to be arranged in different positions relative to each other. A combined length of the first and second lengths is adjusted relative to the first and second outer dimensions to achieve a desired position of the upstream and downstream exhaust components relative to each other.

A mixing assembly for an exhaust aftertreatment system includes a mixing body, an upstream plate, a downstream plate, and a swirl plate. The mixing body includes an upstream mixing body opening and a downstream mixing body opening. The upstream mixing body opening is configured to receive exhaust gas. The upstream plate is coupled to the mixing body. The upstream plate includes a plurality of upstream plate openings. Each of the plurality of upstream plate openings is configured to receive a flow percentage that is less than 50% of the total flow of the exhaust gas. The downstream plate is coupled to the mixing body downstream from the upstream plate in a direction of exhaust gas flow. The downstream plate includes a downstream plate opening. The swirl plate is positioned between the upstream plate and the downstream plate and defines a swirl collection region and a swirl concentration region.

A mixer for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine includes a first mixer part (12) with a plate shape body (14) having an incoming upstream flow side (18), with respect to an exhaust gas main flow direction (A) and a downstream outflow side (22), and a second mixer part (24), on an outflow side, with a bottom wall (26) spaced apart from the plate shape body and with two side walls (28, 30), extending from the bottom wall (26) towards the plate shape body and fixed at the first mixer part. The mixer parts define a reactant injection duct (32) receiving reactant in a main injection direction (R). An exhaust gas main passage opening (54) the plate shape body opens towards the reactant injection duct with a plurality of exhaust gas secondary passage openings (78, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92) run past the injection duct.

A mixing conduit for use within an exhaust treatment system of a work vehicle. The mixing conduit is configured to receive engine exhaust and a mixture of engine exhaust and reductant. The mixing conduit includes an outer tube and an inner tube within the outer tube. Each tube extends lengthwise from upstream ends to downstream ends of the inner and outer tubes, respectively. The inner tube includes an exterior surface, and the outer tube includes an interior surface. The inner tube defines an inner flowpath within the inner tube. The outer tube and inner tube also define an outer flowpath radially between the exterior surface of the inner tube and the interior surface of the outer tube. The mixing conduit further includes one or more swirler vanes extending radially between the exterior surface of the inner tube and the interior surface of the outer tube and within the outer flowpath.

A mixer for a vehicle exhaust system, according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a mixer outer shell defining an internal cavity configured to receive engine exhaust gases, the mixer outer shell having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. A baffle is associated with one of the first and second ends. The baffle comprises a body that includes at least one sensor area formed within the body.

This invention provides a continuous liquid phase type wet exhaust gas treatment method for removing sulfur oxides from exhaust gas and collecting it as gypsum, which method is simple and humidifying liquid is uniformly sprayed into exhaust gas with it. The method is characterized in that humidifying liquid is injected downwardly in a region where exhaust gas flows vertically downwardly.
