Abstract:
A sound depressing exhaust means for a pneumatic power tool with a substantially cylindrical housing (10) and a vane motor (11) with exhaust port means (23), has an annular casing (41) surrounding a portion of the housing (10), and four expansion chambers (31-32, 34, 36, 39) arranged in series and combined with four flow restrictions (33, 37, 30, 35) and a sound trap (38). All of the expansion chambers are annular and located concentrically relative to the tool housing (10), and one of the flow restrictions has an annular screen (37) separating two of these chambers (34, 36). The last two of the expansion chambers (36, 39) in the exhaust flow direction contain high frequency absorbing elements (43, 44) of foamed plastic.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to an exhaust gas muffler for a two-cycle engine, especially for a handheld portable tool, such as a chain saw. In exhaust gas mufflers equipped with a catalyzer, the formation of flame from the fuel-containing exhaust gases exiting from the muffler must be prevented. These exhaust gases are intensely overheated because of the exothermal process in the catalyzer. The muffler according to the invention includes a catalyzer which establishes a connection between separate component chambers of the muffler housing. The muffler can be mounted directly on the motor outlet.
Abstract:
A reciprocating piston and cylinder pneumatic motor with a sound-reducing system that diffuses exhausting air by directing it across the curved outer surface of the cylinder.
Abstract:
An exhaust muffler for a two-cycle opposed cylinder engine of simultaneous ignition type having two cylinders opposing to each other in the horizontal direction. The muffler has conical members disposed to oppose to exhaust ports of the cylinders, the exhaust ports being arranged in a side-by-side relation. The conical members form conical annular discharge passages leading from respective exhaust ports. The discharge passages have flattened peripheral outlets of different opening areas. The flows of the exhaust gas from respective cylinders are introduced through the flattened peripheral outlets of the discharge passages into a common diffusion chamber, so that the attenuation of the pressure waves and release of heat of exhaust gas are promoted to reduce the exhaust noise of the engine.
Abstract:
A compressed-gas-operated reciprocating-piston device, e.g. a concrete breaker, rock drill or chipping hammer, has a cylinder component of composite construction, comprising a rigid inner metal tube in which the piston reciprocates and a moulded outer sleeve of rubber or plastics material, e.g. polyurethane, which surrounds the tube over the majority of its length and is bonded thereto. The sleeve has three integral moulded longitudinal ribs in which are moulded longitudinal passages for transmission of compressed air to the cylinder interior. An outer tubular muffler of rubber or plastics material surrounds the composite cylinder component and defines a sound-reducing path for exhaust gas from the cylinder to thge atmosphere. The exhaust gas is discharged into spaces defined between adjacent ribs of the sleeve within the muffler, these spaces forming part of an expansion chamber in the muffler. This expansion chamber communicates with the atmosphere either directly through exhaust ports or via a restriction and a second expansion chamber to a final duct leading to an exhaust opening in the muffler wall.
Abstract:
A vacuum sweeper, particularly for collecting borings, has an upright cylindrical receptacle with a tangential inlet for admission of an air stream which carries borings and/or other solids and an open top which is overlapped by a platelike air filter disposed below a cover which is separably connected with the receptacle and has downwardly extending projections to prevent upward flexing of the filter. A side channel vacuum pump is installed in the cover and has an inlet which draws air from the receptacle via filter and a passage of the cover, and an outlet which communicates with a sound deadening annular channel provided in the cover and concentrically surrounding the rotor of the pump. The open end of the channel extends upwardly and contains a spherical float which rises therein to a level indicating the rate of air flow from the channel. Certain surfaces bounding the channel in the cover are lined with layers of closed-pore deformable foamed synthetic plastic material which contributes to the soundproofing action. The rotor of the pump rotates about a vertical axis and is driven by an electric, hydraulic or pneumatic motor.
Abstract:
An exhaust-gas treatment arrangement for an exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine includes a first exhaust-gas treatment unit and an exhaust-gas treatment assembly being arranged axially one after the other in the direction of a longitudinal axis of a flow path. The flow path includes the first exhaust-gas treatment unit and the exhaust-gas treatment assembly. A hydrocarbon introduction assembly for introducing hydrocarbon into exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust-gas treatment arrangement is provided. The hydrocarbon introduction assembly includes a bypass flow channel which includes a flow-channel inlet region for receiving exhaust gas upstream of the first exhaust-gas treatment unit and a flow-channel outlet region for discharging exhaust gas or/and hydrocarbon into the flow path downstream of the first exhaust-gas treatment unit and upstream of the exhaust-gas treatment assembly. The hydrocarbon introduction assembly includes a hydrocarbon discharging unit for discharging hydrocarbon into the bypass flow channel.
