Abstract:
An exhaust device includes a casing including an inlet configured to receive an exhaust gas, an outlet configured to discharge the exhaust gas, and a chamber disposed therein between the inlet and the outlet. The casing defines a longitudinal axis along its length. The exhaust device further includes an exhaust conduit at least partially received within the chamber of the casing along the longitudinal axis. The exhaust conduit includes an inner surface, an opposing outer surface, a plurality of perforations extending through the exhaust conduit from the inner surface to the outer surface, and at least one protrusion extending outwardly from the outer surface. The exhaust device further includes an absorptive material disposed on the outer surface of the exhaust conduit. The at least one protrusion of the exhaust conduit engages with the absorptive material in order to form an interference fit between the absorptive material and the exhaust conduit.

Abstract:
A catalyst unit for an exhaust gas catalyst, having a ceramic catalyst body, and a metallic housing which encloses the catalyst body at least in some sections perpendicular to a gas throughflow direction. At least one bearing mat positioned between the catalyst body and the housing perpendicular to the throughflow direction. The catalyst body is retained in the housing via a force-closed press fit with the intermediate arrangement of the or each bearing mat such that, when seen in the throughflow direction of the catalyst body, the press fit between the housing and the catalyst body is formed exclusively at defined axial positions, the housing having groove-like depressions at the defined axial positions for reducing in some sections the inner cross-section of the housing, and the press fit between the housing and the catalyst body being formed exclusively in the region of the groove-like depressions.
Abstract:
An apparatus comprises a housing comprising a housing first portion and a housing second portion. The housing first portion comprises a first joint portion overlapping a second joint portion of the housing second portion so as to form a housing joint. A clamp is positioned on the housing joint and comprises a base portion. A first surface of the base portion is positioned on the housing joint. A plurality of legs extend from the base portion towards the housing each of which are spaced from each other around the housing joint. A plurality of flange segments extend from each side of the base portion away from the housing. A band is positioned on a second surface of the base portion opposite the first surface and around the clamp. The band is positioned between the plurality of flange segments and operatively coupled to the housing via the clamp.
Abstract:
A manufacturing method for a muffler includes: a trimming step, of cutting out a dogleg shaped muffler body member; a bending processing step of processing the muffler body member into a tube by advancing the muffler body member between an upper roller and a lower roller of a bending machine while adjusting an advancing direction with a guide and by changing a relative position of the upper roller and the lower roller; a first joining step of joining two ends of the tubularly-processed muffler body member in a long side direction; an insertion step of inserting an inner structural member into the inside of the tubularly-processed muffler body member; a second joining step of joining caps to opening portions of the tubularly-processed muffler body member; and a third joining step of joining an air intake joint and an exhaust pipe to the sealed muffler body member.
Abstract:
An exhaust manifold for a combustion engine of a motor vehicle includes a two-shell construction comprised of an outer system and an inner system. A flange is positioned at a side proximal to a cylinder head of the combustion engine for installation to the combustion engine, and an insulation sleeve connects the inner system with the flange and the outer system. The insulation sleeve is sized to extend through an opening of the flange and to project beyond the flange into the cylinder head of the combustion engine.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an exhaust gas carrying device, in particular an exhaust gas purification device, and a tool provided therefor include segment-like jaws that are used to deform an outer housing. The jaws have indentations or projections adjacent to each other, and which are complementary to form a continuously surrounding indentation/projection. The reshaped outer housing is provided with one or more surrounding projections or indentations by the deformation.
Abstract:
An exhaust gas treatment unit includes a substantially cylindrical exhaust gas treatment body having a main axis and, on at least one opening side of the exhaust gas treatment unit, at least one of the following connecting devices or connectors: an offset compression zone or a molded structure for form-locking engagement. An internal combustion engine includes at least one exhaust gas treatment unit and at least one exhaust gas conducting line. The at least one exhaust gas treatment unit is completely introduced in the at least one exhaust gas conducting line. A motor vehicle having at least one exhaust-gas treatment unit is also provided.
Abstract:
An exhaust system includes an exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe includes an outer pipe and an inner pipe. A first through-hole and a second through-hole are provided in a peripheral surface of the outer pipe and a peripheral surface of the inner pipe, respectively, to receive an exhaust gas detector. Third through-holes are provided in the peripheral surface of the outer pipe, at a different position than that of the first through-hole. Since the third through-holes are provided in the outer pipe, a liquid can be drained promptly from a space between the outer pipe and inner pipe. Exhaust gas can be prevented from being discharged to the atmosphere by sealing the third through-holes.
Abstract:
An exhaust system for a vehicle features a pipe finisher including an inner sleeve. The inner sleeve has a reduced diameter portion spaced upstream from a downstream end of the inner sleeve. An exhaust pipe disposed in the inner sleeve, the exhaust pipe including a radially outward extending projection downstream of the reduced diameter portion of the inner sleeve.
