A flammable gas diluter includes a dilution vessel having an outer envelope defining a longitudinal flow passage from an inlet to an outlet; at least one air inlet assembly for directing a flow of air into the inlet of the dilution vessel; a flammable gas inlet arrangement located towards an inlet end of the dilution vessel; two gas flow generators configured to pump a flow of air into the air inlet assembly, the two gas flow generators being located upstream of the flammable gas inlet arrangement; and two dampers, each of the dampers being mounted between a corresponding gas flow generator and the dilution vessel. Control circuitry is configured to open a damper during an operational mode of the corresponding gas flow generator and to close the damper when the corresponding gas flow generator is stopped in standby mode.

A mixer comprises a tubular housing defining a longitudinal axis along which exhaust gas flows. Injected reductant flows along an injection axis that extends at a non-parallel angle to the longitudinal axis. A first flow guide element extends across and blocks a portion of the tubular housing and includes a first aperture extending therethrough. The first flow guide element is positioned upstream from the reductant inlet such that exhaust gas flowing through the first aperture is impinged by the reductant. A second flow guide element is positioned downstream from the first flow guide element and fixed to the first flow guide element to define a mixing chamber in which injected reductant and exhaust gas mix. An intermediate wall is integrally formed with one of the first and second flow guide elements. The other of the first and second flow guide elements is fixed to the intermediate wall.

The invention relates to a mixer for an exhaust gas system for mixing an additive into an exhaust gas flow of an internal combustion engine, having a first shell and at least a second shell which are arranged successively in the circumferential direction in relation to a center axis, each shell having at least two shell edges that are arranged offset in the circumferential direction and which each form a flow edge, wherein the flow edges of two circumferentially adjacent shell edges of two different shells delimit an inflow opening, such that at least one pipe end arranged coaxially with the center axis is provided with a circumferential pipe profile that has a nominal radius Rn and is used for connection to an exhaust pipe, the pipe end being formed by the circumferentially adjacent shells.

Devices, systems, and their methods of use, for generating droplets are provided. One or more geometric parameters of a microfluidic channel can be selected to generate droplets of a desired and predictable droplet size.

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 method, flow device and system for method of guiding a flow of exhaust gas for aftertreatment, including receiving exhaust gas into a mixing chamber; supporting a mixing tube mostly in the mixing chamber obliquely to and extending through a peripheral wall of the mixing chamber; supporting by a reactant doser mount a reactant doser that doses reactant to the mixing tube; receiving, by a peripheral exhaust gas entry in the mixing tube, exhaust gas at reactant stream arriving from the doser; and forming by a swirl arrangement, a rotating flow around a mixing tube output and enhancing exhaust gas flow through the mixing tube by forming some pressure around the mixing tube downstream from the peripheral exhaust gas entry.

A multi-stage mixer includes a multi-stage mixer inlet, a multi-stage mixer outlet, a first flow device, and a second flow device. The multi-stage mixer inlet is configured to receive exhaust gas. The multi-stage mixer outlet is configured to provide the exhaust gas to a catalyst. The first flow device is configured to receive the exhaust gas from the multi-stage mixer inlet and to receive reductant such that the reductant is partially mixed with the exhaust gas within the first flow device. The first flow device includes a plurality of main vanes and a plurality of main vane apertures. The plurality of main vane apertures is interspaced between the plurality of main vanes. The plurality of main vane apertures is configured to receive the exhaust gas and to cooperate with the plurality of main vanes to provide the exhaust gas from the first flow device with a swirl flow.

The present invention discloses a microbubble-producing water outlet assembly, which includes a housing, a water inflow component, a water through-flow disc and at least three layers of bubble mesh plates. The microbubble-producing water outlet assembly provided by the present invention has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and easy to implement, has a low cost, and solves a problem that the water flow strength is too high but the content of microbubbles is too low in existing water outlet assemblies in the prior art.
