摘要： A machine is provided having an engine system wherein at least one engine system component with an acoustic reflective surface is surrounded by a jacket configured to absorb sound from at least one sound producing device of the engine system. The jacket includes a sound absorbing material such as fibrous thermal insulation and an acoustic permeable covering between the acoustic reflective surface and the engine compartment of the machine. The acoustic permeable covering of the jacket may comprise a micro-perforated skin, whereby acoustic energy from the at least one sound producing device of the engine system can enter a volume defined by the jacket wherein it is absorbed by the sound absorbing material. A method of operating an engine system includes dissipating engine sound within a jacket surrounding an engine system component, the jacket including an acoustic permeable covering and a sound absorbing material positioned within the covering. An exhaust aftertreatment element may by thermally insulated with the jacket.

摘要： A method of manufacturing a metallic foam based heat exchanger includes positioning an aluminum foam block, for example, within a housing defining a first fluid passage, and placing the block in contact with a second portion of the housing defining at least one other fluid passage, the second housing portion being an extrusion. A brazing flux material and a brazing filler are applied to at least one of the foam and the extrusion, the foam being thermally coupled to the extrusion with the brazing filler via heating in a brazing furnace. A heat exchanger includes a housing having a fluid passage with a metallic foam such as an aluminum foam therein. The metallic foam is attached to a metallic extrusion such as an aluminum extrusion, and connected therewith via a thermally conducting brazing filler. A method of cooling oil in an internal combustion engine is further provided, including the step of passing high temperature oil through an aluminum foam in a fluid passage of a first housing portion, and passing low temperature fluid through a second passage in a second housing portion. Heat is exchanged between the high temperature oil and the low temperature fluid at least in part via a thermally conducting attachment material joining the aluminum foam with the second portion of the housing.
