A device for the aftertreatment of exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine has a tubular first flow section, a deflecting region and a annular second flow section, the second flow section being arranged between an inner wall delimiting the first flow section and an outer wall delimiting the second flow section. At least one annular honeycomb body is arranged in the second flow section, and at least one annular heating disk is arranged in the second flow section, the heating disk being electrically contactable by at least two electrical feedthroughs, which are arranged on the outer wall.

An exhaust muffler has an outer cylinder into which an exhaust gas from an engine is introduced and a muffling member made of a foamed ceramic material. The outer cylinder has an inner cylinder through which the exhaust gas passes, a part of the muffling member is supported by an outer wall of the inner cylinder via a holding member. The inner cylinder includes, in an area where the inner cylinder overlaps with the muffling member with respect to axial direction of the inner cylinder, a porous wall portion formed with communication holes communicating an inside and an outside of the inner cylinder. The holding member is arranged at a position where it does not overlap with a part of the porous wall portion, so that muffling effect is enhanced, and the muffling member having a low resistance to impact forces can be supported stably by the inner cylinder.

An exhaust discharge system and method of assembling is disclosed. The exhaust discharge system may comprises an ejector tube and an exhaust stack. The ejector tube includes an outlet having an outlet cross-section. The ejector tube is configured to convey treated exhaust to the outlet. The outlet cross-section is oriented at an outlet angle to a first horizontal plane. The exhaust stack includes a first conduit and a second conduit. The second conduit includes an exit port. The exit-port cross-section is oblong in shape.

A line element includes an inner element, an outer element surrounding the inner element, and a damping element arranged between the inner element and the outer element. The damping element can be made, for example, of knitted wire fabric or a stripwound hose. The damping element can be made in particular of a more easily wearing material than the outer element and/or the inner element, for example of copper.

An exhaust gas treatment assembly unit for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine includes a tubular outer housing (12) elongated in a direction of an outer housing longitudinal axis (L.sub.A), a tubular inner housing (14) elongated in the direction of an inner housing longitudinal axis (L.sub.I), an exhaust gas treatment unit (16) being carried in the inner housing (14), and a locking fixing device (24) detachably fixing the inner housing in the outer housing. The locking fixing device (24) includes a locking fixing element (26) held at the inner housing (14) in both axial directions with a radially outwards prestressed locking meshing area (28). In association with the locking meshing area (28), a locking receiving area (42) at the outer housing (12), interacts with the locking meshing area (28) for holding the inner housing (14) in the outer housing (12) in at least one axial direction.

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.

An exhaust aftertreatment arrangement for cleaning exhaust gases includes a fluid channel for providing a fluid pathway for the exhaust gases, a selective catalyst reduction, SCR, catalyst, arranged in or downstream the fluid channel, a heating arrangement for heating the exhaust gases, the heating arrangement being arranged upstream of the SCR catalyst and comprising an electrical heating element, a first fluid pathway for guiding the exhaust gases to the electrical heating element, and a second fluid pathway for guiding the exhaust gases to bypass the electrical heating element, wherein the heating arrangement is removably arranged relative the fluid channel.

A heat exchanging member including a hollow pillar shaped honeycomb structure having partition walls defining cells, the cells penetrating from a first end face to a second end face to form flow paths for a first fluid, an inner peripheral wall, and an outer peripheral wall; and a covering member being configured to cover the outer peripheral wall of the pillar shaped honeycomb structure. The heat exchanging member is configured to perform heat exchange between the first fluid and a second fluid flowing through an outer side of the covering member. In the heat exchanging member, in a cross section of the pillar shaped honeycomb structure perpendicular to a flow path direction of the first fluid, the cells are radially provided, and each of the inner peripheral wall and the outer peripheral wall has a thickness larger than that of each of the partition walls.

The present disclosure is directed to a flexible pipe assembly that includes a pipe, a sleeve, a first connection assembly, and a second connection assembly. The pipe of the flexible pipe assembly includes a first end portion that is coupled to an external vertical exhaust pipe that allows exhaust to escape from a truck and a second end portion that is coupled to a pipe to an outlet of an exhaust aftertreatment system (EAS). The pipe also includes a third portion, which is a bellows, coupling the first end portion to the second end portion of the pipe of the flexible pipe assembly. The first and second connection assemblies couple the sleeve to the pipe of the flexible pipe assembly by passing through holes in the sleeve and the pipe of the flexible pipe assembly.

A multi-pass catalytic converter can divide a catalyst block into several catalytic volumes and enable the exhaust gas to flow through each volume in two or more passes consecutively. As the exhaust gas in an early pass can emit sensible thermal energy and chemical reaction energy to preheat the remaining catalytic volumes via conductive heat transfer, it can shorten the catalyst light-off time for the later passes and the whole catalyst block. By recouping the previously lost dissipating heat from the early catalytic volume, the present disclosure can significantly reduce the catalyst light-off time and emission concentration. Furthermore, one or more mixing chambers can be utilized to thoroughly mix the exhaust gas.
