Abstract

Schalldämpfungseinrichtung für Verbrennungsmotoren mit einem Schalldämpfergehäuse (1) mit mindestens einer Abgaseintrittsöffnung (6,7) und mindestens zwei Abgasaustrittsöffnungen (8,9), insbesondere Nachschalldämpfer einer Zwei-Rohr-Abgasanlage (17,23), wobei zur Verringerung des Gegendrucks bei gleichzeitig ausreichender Schalldämpfung ein im Wesentlichen gerades erstes Abgasrohr (17) vorgesehen ist, welches eine Abgaseintrittsöffnung (6) mit einer ersten Abgasaustrittsöffnung (8) verbindet und dessen Inneres über mindestens eine Öffnung (20) mit dem Inneren des Schalldämpfergehäuses (1) in Verbindung steht, und wobei in Strömungsrichtung hinter den Öffnungen eine Absperreinrichtung (22a) angeordnet ist, die zwischen einer die Abgasströmung durch die erste Abgasaustrittsöffnung (8) mindestens teilweise unterbindenden und einer diese freigebenden Stellung verstellbar ist.
