Vibrating plate with hood optimized for noise reduction
The invention relates to a vibrating plate for ground compaction, comprising a drive motor, an exciter unit which is driven by the drive motor and by means of which a base plate can be set in vibration, an adjustably mounted hood, which can be adjusted between an operating position at least partially covering the drive motor and a maintenance position at least partially exposing the drive motor, an exhaust air guiding device leading from the drive motor to an exhaust air opening in the hood for the cooling air of the drive motor, the exhaust air guiding device being formed in two parts and comprising an exhaust air adapter on the drive motor side and an exhaust air guide on the hood side, the exhaust air adapter and the exhaust air guide together forming a continuous exhaust air path from the drive motor to the exhaust air opening in the hood when the hood is in the operating position, the exhaust air adapter being attached to the drive motor, and the exhaust air guide being attached to the hood such that it is adjustable with the hood between the operating position and the maintenance position.
AUTONOMOUS AUXILIARY DEF SUPPLY SYSTEM WITH PURGE CONTROL
An auxiliary system with purge control automatically supplies diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) to an onboard DEF tank of a diesel engine to enable prolonged unattended operation. The system includes an auxiliary DEF tank, an auxiliary DEF supply line, a controller, a pump, an air inlet, and a three-way valve configured to switch the pump inlet between the auxiliary DEF tank and air. In response to low-level DEF, the pump delivers DEF through the supply line to replenish the onboard DEF tank. The controller may automatically calculate onboard DEF tank volume based on the delivered volume of DEF, and DEF level data received from an ECM, to enable replenishment control regardless of engine make and model. In response to high-level DEF, engine stoppage, or other system fault, the controller switches the valve to air and runs the pump for a predetermined time to purge DEF from the supply line. The auxiliary system may be skid-mounted, portable, and configured to supply DEF to multiple diesel engines.
Cover Assembly, Pipe Assembly and Turbine Fracturing Unit
The present disclosure provides a rain cover assembly, a pipe assembly and a turbine fracturing unit. The rain cover assembly comprises at least two sets of cover plate assemblies, wherein each set of cover plate assembly comprises a cover plate, a transmission mechanism and a locking device. When the cover plate(s) is(are) at a closed position, the opening is covered; when the cover plate of each set of cover plate assembly is at an open position, an additional pipe structure which is open at both ends and extends along an extension direction of the pipe is formed by which. According to the present disclosure, the cover plate(s) of the rain cover assembly, when opened, will jointly form an additional pipe structure connected to the open end of the pipe to guide the exhaust gas of the pipe to a further space. Such an arrangement may reduce noise on the one hand, and prevent backflow of the exhaust gas on the other hand. The cover plate(s) of the rain cover assembly, when closed, can shield the opening of the pipe to prevent entry of rainwater.

An auxiliary system automatically supplies diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) to a diesel engine onboard DEF tank to enable prolonged unattended operation. The system includes an auxiliary DEF tank and supply line, a controller, pump, air inlet, and three-way valve configured to switch the pump inlet between the auxiliary DEF tank and air. In response to low-level DEF, the pump delivers DEF to replenish the onboard DEF tank. The controller calculates onboard DEF tank volume based on the delivered volume of DEF, and DEF level data received from an ECM, to enable replenishment control regardless of engine make and model. In response to high-level DEF, engine stoppage, or system fault, the controller switches the pump inlet to air and runs the pump to purge DEF from the supply line.

Engine exhaust heat management system
A heat management system for air-cooled engines suitable to power yard care equipment or vehicles. The system may generally comprise an engine, a blower configured to blow ambient cooling air across the engine, and an exhaust system comprising an exhaust header and a muffler. The exhaust header has an inlet end which receives heated exhaust gas from the engine and an outlet end fluidly coupled to the muffler. An air control baffle is configured to redirect a portion of the cooling air from the blower towards the exhaust header and the muffler to enhance cooling the exhaust system. The system may further include an outermost protective shield exposed to equipment operators and an inner heat barrier or shield located between the muffler and protective shield. The system is designed to ameliorate both radiative and convective sources of heat transfer to maintain the protective shield at temperatures below established industry standards.
Exhaust structure for saddle riding vehicle
An exhaust structure for a saddle riding vehicle includes: an exhaust pipe connected to an internal combustion engine; and a catalyst disposed in the exhaust pipe; the exhaust pipe including a catalyst case unit housing the catalyst and upstream side exhaust pipes disposed on an upstream side of the catalyst case unit; the catalyst case unit having a larger diameter than the upstream side exhaust pipes; the upstream side exhaust pipes being connected to the catalyst case unit in a connecting portion located on an upstream side of the catalyst in a flow of exhaust; in the connecting portion, axes of the upstream side exhaust pipes and an axis of the catalyst case unit being in substantially right-angled positional relation to each other.
Exhaust back pressure and temperature monitoring transport refrigiration unit
A transport refrigeration unit (TRU) is provided and includes a power generation unit, a catalytic element, a tubular element fluidly interposed between the power generation unit and the catalytic element and a control System. The control System is disposed and configured to control operations of the power generation unit in accordance with readings of sensed characteristics of fluid flows between the power generation unit and the catalytic element.
WORK MACHINE WITH DIRECTIONAL AIR INTAKE ASSEMBLY
A work machine, such as a skid steer loader or a compact track loader, includes a directional air intake assembly with a directional cap positioned on an intake pipe for selectively drawing ambient air into an internal combustion engine. A cooling vent ejects air heated by a rear-mounted engine upwardly into the atmosphere. Extending higher than and adjacent to the cooling vent, the directional cap has an elongated head that blocks ingress to the intake pipe other than through an opening at a face of the cap. Selectively positioning and angling the opening between a side of the loader and an edge of the cooling vent avoids taking in debris from near the wheels or tracks, avoids taking in heated air from the cooling vent, and takes advantage of negative pressure caused by the updraft from the cooling vent to remove particulates, resulting in cleaner air for the engine at close to ambient temperature.
Vacuum cleaner and electric motor module thereof
A vacuum clear and an electric motor module (100) therefor are provided. The electric motor module (100) includes an outer casing (1) provided with an air inlet (10) at a front side thereof and an air outlet (11) at a rear side thereof; an electric motor assembly (2) arranged in the outer casing (1), and cooperating with the outer casing (1) to define an air passage in communication with the air inlet (10) and the air outlet (11); and a silencer (3) arranged at the air inlet (10), defining at least one resonant cavity therein, and the at least one resonant cavity having a side wall provided with a throat in communication with the resonant cavity.
