Traction battery venting system and venting method
A traction battery venting system includes, among other things, an engine exhaust system that discharges engine exhaust gas to an area outside an electrified vehicle. The engine exhaust gas is emitted from an internal combustion engine of the electrified vehicle. The system further includes a sound deadening device of the engine exhaust system, a traction battery, and a battery vent system that communicates battery vent byproducts to the engine exhaust system at a position that is downstream from the sound deadening device. The battery vent byproducts are emitted from the traction battery of the electrified vehicle.
Acoustically tuned muffler
A muffler for receiving exhaust gas from a combustion engine comprises a shell, first and second inlet pipes each having outlets providing exhaust gas to a mixing chamber within the shell, a first chamber and a second chamber positioned within the shell and a pair of communication pipes each including an inlet receiving exhaust gas from the mixing chamber. Each communication pipe includes an outlet providing exhaust to the second chamber. Each of the communication pipes further includes a Helmholtz opening positioned downstream of the mixing chamber. The Helmholtz openings are open to the first chamber.
EXHAUST SILENCING DEVICE AND SYSTEM, VEHICLE, AND EXHAUST SILENCING METHOD
An exhaust silencing device and system, a vehicle, and an exhaust silencing method. The exhaust silencing device comprises an air intake pipe (1), a main exhaust silencing cylinder (2), a main exhaust pipe (3), a multi-way valve (6), at least one auxiliary exhaust silencing device (4), and at least one auxiliary exhaust pipe (5); the multi-way valve (6) is in communication with the air intake pipe (1), the main exhaust pipe (3), and the auxiliary exhaust pipe (5); the main exhaust silencing cylinder (2) has one end in communication with the multi-way valve (6) by means of the main exhaust pipe (3), and another end in communication with the outside; and the auxiliary exhaust silencing device (4) has one end in communication with the multi-way valve (6) by means of the auxiliary exhaust pipe (5), and another end in communication with the outside.
VEHICLE EXHAUST ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS THEREFOR
Exhaust assemblies for vehicles and methods of installing exhaust systems on vehicles are disclosed. An exhaust assembly for a vehicle includes an exhaust inlet to receive combustion products from a drive unit, a catalytic converter to control emissions from combustion products received by the exhaust system, and a first piping assembly coupled to the exhaust inlet and the catalytic converter.
MUFFLER AND METHOD FOR MAKING A MUFFLER
A muffler for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine includes a muffler housing having a peripheral wall elongated along a longitudinal axis of the muffler housing. The peripheral wall has first and second end walls. A muffler insert is surrounded by the peripheral wall and is supported thereon. The muffler insert has a retaining wall extending in a direction of the longitudinal axis. The peripheral wall has a peripheral wall opening and a first exhaust-gas routing pipe has a first end region and is positioned with the first end region thereof engaging in the peripheral wall opening. The first exhaust-gas routing pipe has a second end region and is secured by the second end region thereof to the retaining wall. The first exhaust-gas routing pipe is of multi-part configuration and has a first pipe part and a second pipe part.
Double inlets exhaust system for unmanned aerial vehicle
The dual inlet exhaust design for the flying device incorporates easy-to-assemble designs with low number of components, suitable for limited space and small volume requirements, good performance. The exhaust is designed as a three-chamber cylinder with two coaxial inlet pipes running through the two chambers on both sides, extending into the middle compartment. The width of the two inlet tubes in the middle compartment is different. The inlet pipe at the two compartments on both sides has a bore. The outlet tube is located in the middle compartment, deviating to the side with a smaller expansion inlet, with the longitudinal axis of the outlet tube passing through the inlet tube.
Vehicle exhaust system
A vehicle exhaust system includes a tubular component defining a primary exhaust gas flow path. At least one opening defined by the tubular component extends through an inner surface and an outer surface of the tubular component. A patch covers the at least one opening. The patch includes a plate disposed on the tubular component. The plate defines at least one flow channel to receive exhaust gases from the at least one opening and impart at least one directional change to the received exhaust gases. The plate further defines at least one outlet opening adapted to receive exhaust gases from the flow channel. A secondary exhaust gas flow path is defined through the at least one opening in the tubular component, the flow channel defined by the plate, and the outlet opening defined by the plate.
NOISE SUPPRESSOR
A noise suppressor is removably installed in power generator equipment including an enclosure and a power generator unit. The enclosure includes at least one of an air intake port and an air discharge port that are vents. The power generator unit is covered with the enclosure. The noise suppressor includes a tubular member having a first opening that opens to a direction different from the vent and a second opening that opens to the vent, forming a channel for gas leading from the first opening to the second opening, and provided with an acoustic liner inside the channel. The tubular member has such a shape that the channel bends at a plurality of points.
VEHICLE EXHAUST SYSTEM
A vehicle exhaust system includes a tubular component defining a primary exhaust gas flow path with a primary exhaust gas outlet. At least one opening is defined by the tubular component and extends through an inner surface and an outer surface of the tubular component. A plate is disposed on the outer surface of tubular component and covers the at least one opening. A secondary exhaust gas flow path is defined by the at least one opening in the tubular component, through a plurality of elongated flow channels, and through the outlet opening defined by the plate. The exhaust gases flowing through the secondary exhaust gas flow path are exhausted to atmosphere in a different location than the primary outlet.
Exhaust structure of straddle-type vehicle, and vehicle incorporating same
An exhaust structure for a straddle-type vehicle includes a muffler having an outer tube constituting an outer circumferential member of the muffler; first and second separators defining expansion chambers in the outer tube; a body end member arranged at the downstream end of the outer tube; and glass wool provided on the inner circumference of the outer tube. The muffler further includes a resonator chamber provided in the most downstream portion of the muffler. The resonator chamber is formed by the outer tube, the body end member and the second separator situated closest to the body end member. The surroundings of the resonator chamber are surrounded by the glass wool. Such exhaust structure of a straddle-type vehicle is capable of taking measures against exhaust heat and exhaust sound even with a configuration where there is only one, single resonator chamber.
