摘要: 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.

摘要: An apparatus for testing a fuel cap includes a gas manifold, a fuel cap connector, a base, and a removable cover. The gas manifold is configured to provide a bidirectional flow path through the fuel cap. The fuel cap connector is integrated with or coupled to the gas manifold, and the fuel cap connector is configured to connect the fuel cap to the gas manifold. The base is configured to support the gas manifold and provide at least a first gas input to the gas manifold and through the fuel cap via the bidirectional flow path. The removable cover is configured to be removably connected to the gas manifold and provide at least a second gas input to the gas manifold and through the fuel cap via the bidirectional flow path.
