Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a silencer device to reduce noises and sounds generated by exhaust gases in otto- or diesel-cycle engines, when an exhaust brake is applied to said engines.
  • the fuel supply is eliminated:
  • Purpose of the present invention is eliminating or substantially reducing the noise generated by the air compressed by the pistons of an internal combustion engine, when this is subjected to the exhaust brake action, operating upstream of the muffler and in series with it, exploiting the principle of sound energy (and therefore noise) reduction, through the wave reflection on the conducing pipe walls, following diameter variations of the pipes themselves (it is in fact known that the increase of a pipe section generates the decrease of low-frequency noises).
  • Another purpose is of the device is being suitable to any diameter of exhaust manifolds and mufflers connected to it, and therefore being able to be used for any engine displacement.
  • a further purpose of the device is being easily manufactured at low costs, due to assembling rationality and linearity.
  • the device 1 is composed of a hollow body 3, usually made of steel, whose shape is substantially spheroidal and whose section is approximately ovoidal, equipped with an inlet opening 5 connected, through a duct 7, to the exhaust mainfold 9 of the turbo 10 ⁇ of the engine 11 equipped with an exhaust brake 12, and with an outlet opening 13 connected, through a duct 15, to the muffler 17.
  • the compressed air going out of the manifold enters into the device 1 from the inlet opening 5 and, since the section of the device 1 is greater than that of the exhaust manifold 9 and of the muffler 17, and since said opening 5 does not lay on the same axis as that of the outlet one 13, and since the axis of the device 1 is raking with respect to those of the two openings 5 and 13, said air reflects expanding inside the hollow body 3, losing kinetic energy, and the sound waves related to it are damped; the compressed air that expands in the exhaust ducts, afterwards, gose out through the outlet opening 13 towards the muffler 17.
