An exhaust-gas aftertreatment device (10) for an internal combustion engine, particularly for a marine diesel internal combustion engine operated using heavy fuel oil, includes a housing (11); an exhaust-gas chamber (12) defined by the housing (11), for permitting exhaust gas to flow continuously through the housing (11), an inlet (13) for permitting exhaust gas to flow into the housing and an outlet (14) for permitting exhaust gas to flow out of the housing (11); a sound damping chamber (15), defined by the housing (11) and coupled with the exhaust-gas chamber (12). The sound dampening chamber (15) is constructed to receive a fluid or a pourable solid at a fill level depending on the frequency of an exhaust sound to be damped.

The disclosed inventive concept provides a further achievement in efforts to produce a tunable exhaust sound for a vehicle. The system provides a tunable exhaust system including a tunable resonator and a pair of tunable mufflers. The tunable resonator includes a housing including first, second and third expansion chambers. A pair of bank-by-bank exhaust conduits extends through the housing. At least one of the conduits includes a band of peripheral perforations within the first expansion chamber. The band is formed at an angle relative to the long axis of the conduit on which it is formed. The mufflers include inlet and outlet pipes. At least one of the outlet pipes includes a variable exhaust gas flow assembly. The variable exhaust gas flow assembly includes a vane shaft, an exhaust gas regulating vane attached to the vane shaft, and a vane actuator for regulating the position of the vane shaft.

An embodiment of an exhaust handling system for a marine vessel includes a cap connected to a top end portion of an exhaust stack of the marine vessel to form an enclosure at least partially surrounding an outlet of an exhaust pipe extending through the exhaust stack. In addition, the exhaust handling system includes a collection pipe in fluid communication with the cap such that the collection pipe is to receive exhaust from the enclosure, and a coupling connected to the collection pipe that is to connect to an exhaust cleaning assembly. The exhaust cleaning system includes a tank to receive the exhaust. The cap at least partially defines a first flow path for the exhaust that extends from the enclosure to the atmosphere. The collection pipe at least partially defines a second flow path for the exhaust that extends from the enclosure to the coupling via the collection pipe.
