A substantially metal-free exhaust subsystem includes an exterior housing formed of polymer; and a pipe formed of a layered fibers formed at least partially of glass, and bound by an inorganic binder. The fibers may be glass or ceramic, and may define micro-pores on the interior of the pipe that aid in absorbing acoustic energy, and thereby attenuating exhaust noise.

An exhaust purification device has a catalytic converter provided with: an outer cylinder welded at the upstream end portion to an exhaust gas inlet of an inlet-side flange and welded at the downstream end portion to an exhaust gas outlet of the outlet-side flange. An inner cylinder has an upstream end portion held by the upstream side portion of the outer cylinder with no gap and has a downstream end portion disposed at the downstream side of the outer cylinder with a gap, the inner cylinder housing a catalyst support. An opening end is formed at the downstream end portion of the inner cylinder with a gap with respect to the outer cylinder, and a gas layer is formed by the exhaust gas having entered from the exhaust gas inlet and convected to an upstream side between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder.

A fluid injector for injecting an injection fluid into a hot flow can include a flow structure defining an injection flow channel and configured to extend at least partially into a flow path to introduce the injection fluid into the hot flow in the flow path. The flow structure can include one or more heat resistance features to protect the flow structure and the fluid from heat of the hot flow.

Provided in the invention is an SCR system urea mixer. The SCR system urea mixer comprises an outer pipe and an inner pipe arranged in the outer pipe. The outer pipe comprises an air inlet cone pipe (11) and an air inlet straight pipe (12) connected with the air inlet cone pipe (11). The inner pipe comprises an air inlet rectifying pipe (21) and a porous pipe (22). The porous pipe (22) is sleeved outside the air inlet rectifying pipe (21). The air inlet rectifying pipe (21) is provided with an airstream rotating mechanism (211), and the airstream rotating mechanism (211) is used for rotating exhaust gas which enters into the air inlet cone pipe (11). A rotating structure and a porous structure are used in the SCR system urea mixer, so that urea and engine exhaust are fully mixed; and the SCR system urea mixer is provided with heat preservation measures to prevent the crystallization of the urea. Moreover, the SCR system urea mixer has no complex connection installation structure, the installation is convenient, the reliability is high, and the versatility is strong. In addition, also provided in the invention is an SCR system which is installed with the SCR system urea mixer.

An internal combustion engine system includes at least one combustor, a compressor arranged to compress air, an air guide arranged to guide compressed air from the compressor to at least one of the at least one combustor, an expander arranged to expand exhaust gases from at least one of the at least one combustor and to extract energy from the expanded exhaust gases, and an exhaust guide arranged to guide exhaust gases from at least one of the at least one combustor to the expander, wherein the exhaust guide is at least partly integrated with the air guide.

An exhaust system for an internal combustion engine, especially in a vehicle, comprising at least one first catalytic converter unit (18) with at least one catalytic converter device (24), through which internal combustion engine exhaust gas can flow and a fuel-operated heater (36). The at least one first catalytic converter unit (18) comprises a heat exchanger volume (50) through which heater exhaust gas leaving the heater (36) can flow.

A catalyst device includes a catalyst, a heating element, and a case. A direction in which exhaust gas flows through an exhaust passage is defined as a gas discharging direction. The case includes an end portion on an upstream side in the gas discharging direction. The heating element includes an end on an upstream side in the gas discharging direction. The end portion of the case is an insulating portion that insulates electricity and protrudes toward an upstream side of the end of the heating element in the gas discharging direction. The catalyst device further includes an outer tube that is separated from the end portion of the case in a radial direction to cover the end portion. The outer tube is formed by a turbine housing that houses a turbine wheel of the forced-induction device.
