Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a sound-absorbing exhaust system for an internal combustion engine, said exhaust system comprising a receptacle, an inlet which is arranged in the receptacle and through which exhaust gases can be directed into the receptacle, and a discharge pipe, which connects the interior of the receptacle to the ambient air and through which exhaust gases can be discharged from the receptacle.
- Such sound-absorbing exhaust systems are used for internal combustion engines of various types, preferably small ones, which are used, for instance, in mopeds, lawnmowers and the like.
- The sound-absorbing exhaust system serves to reduce the noise arising as exhaust gases leave the internal combustion engine, for the purpose of reducing acoustic nuisances.
- Even if sound absorbers of the type above reduce the emission of noise to a considerable extent, there remains a need to further reduce the noise of exhaust gases from internal combustion engines.
- It is thus an object of the present invention to provide a sound-absorbing exhaust system which further reduces the noise emission from an internal combustion engine.
- This object is achieved by a sound-absorbing exhaust system as claimed in
claim 1. - More specifically, the invention relates to a sound-absorbing exhaust system of the above type where the discharge pipe at its end positioned outside the receptacle has a seal, which substantially seals the discharge pipe at this end, where the discharge pipe has at least one radial hole, which is positioned outside the receptacle, and where a sleeve wholly or partially surrounds the discharge pipe outside the receptacle.
- Such an arrangement significantly reduces the noise emission from an internal combustion engine. Tests have demonstrated that the exhaust gas noise from the engine typically decreases by 3dB. Moreover the frequency content of the remaining noise will be such that it is experienced as less "sharp", and therefore the noise is less disturbing also for this reason.
- The discharge pipe preferably has a plurality of radial holes, which are positioned outside the receptacle. This means that the exhaust gases are spread in the space between the discharge pipe and the sleeve in a suitable manner.
- Preferably the seal comprises a star crimp. This can be easily provided and requires no further components.
- The sleeve, which preferably is attached to the receptacle, suitably projects from the receptacle to the same extent as does the discharge pipe, which results in improved absorption.
- In a preferred embodiment, the receptacle is elongate in the longitudinal direction of the discharge pipe, and the discharge pipe extends into the receptacle, at least along half the length of the receptacle.
- The receptacle is, in the longitudinal direction, suitably divided into a plurality of chambers by means of one or more gas-permeable partitions. This results in improved sound-absorption.
- In a preferred embodiment, the discharge pipe has at its end positioned in the receptacle a seal and a plurality of radial holes. Thus the discharge pipe can have the same design in both ends, which is advantageous in terms of manufacture.

- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a sound-absorbing exhaust system according to an embodiment of the invention.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic longitudinal section through the exhaust system in Fig. 1.
- Fig. 3 shows the result of a comparison between a conventional exhaust system and an exhaust system according to an embodiment of the invention.
-
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a sound-absorbing
exhaust system 1 according to an embodiment of the invention. Theexhaust system 1 is adapted to be connected to an internal combustion engine and comprises areceptacle 2 of welded sheet metal. The receptacle defines an inner space of a certain volume. Aninlet 3 is arranged in thereceptacle 2, as shown with a connecting pipe. Exhaust gases from the internal combustion engine can be directed through theinlet 3 into thereceptacle 2. Theexhaust system 1 further has a discharge pipe, which connects the interior of thereceptacle 2 to the ambient air and through which exhaust gases can be discharged from thereceptacle 2. Of the discharge pipe, Fig. 1 shows only an end, which is provided with aseal 5. That part of the discharge pipe which projects out of the receptacle is radially surrounded by anouter sleeve 7, which preferably is concentric with the discharge pipe. Thesleeve 7 is arranged so that a space is formed between thesleeve 7 and the discharge pipe, through which space exhaust gases can flow. - Fig. 2 is a schematic longitudinal section through the exhaust system in Fig. 1. Fig. 2 shows that the
discharge pipe 4 extends into thereceptacle 2. In a typical implementation, the discharge pipe can be about 40 cm long, have an outer diameter of 32 mm and a material thickness of 1.5 mm. At its end positioned outside thereceptacle 2, thedischarge pipe 4 has, as mentioned above, aseal 5, which substantially seals thedischarge pipe 4 at this end. By "substantially seals" is meant that theseal 5 largely seals thedischarge pipe 4, but that a certain degree of leakage through theseal 5 can still be allowed. Preferably, theseal 5 is provided by what is referred to as a star crimp, i.e. the outer end of thedischarge pipe 4 is folded so that a seal is provided. The star crimp is easy to provide and can be made in one operation. However, other ways of arranging the seal of the pipe are conceivable; for instance a sealing plate can be welded to the end of the pipe, or the end of the pipe can be threaded and sealed by a screw cap. - The
discharge pipe 4 has at least one, but preferably a plurality of, for instance about 50,radial holes 6, distributed in three rows for instance, which holes are positioned outside thereceptacle 2. The holes are radial with regard to the longitudinal (axial) direction of the discharge pipe and can, for instance, have a diameter of 3.5 mm. Preferably thedischarge pipe 4 has also at the end positioned in the receptacle 2 aseal 15 and a plurality ofradial holes 16. Thus both ends of the discharge pipe can have the same appearance. As shown, also the inner part of adischarge pipe 20 can be configured in the same way. - Outside the
receptacle 2 theouter sleeve 7 wholly or partially surrounds thedischarge pipe 4 in the radial direction. In a typical implementation, the sleeve is 5 cm long and has an outer diameter of 5 cm. Thesleeve 7 is preferably attached to thereceptacle 2, for instance welded to the same. - The
sleeve 7 projects preferably to about the same extent from thereceptacle 2 as does thedischarge pipe 4, but can also be longer or shorter than that. - The
sleeve 7 gives, together with theseal 5 and theradial holes 6, a pressure, pulse and flow equalising effect, which reduces the noise level of the system. These additional features can further be provided at a very low cost. - The
receptacle 2 is elongate in the longitudinal direction of thedischarge pipe 4. Thedischarge pipe 4 extends into thereceptacle 2, at least along half the length of thereceptacle 2. - As is evident from Fig. 2, the receptacle can be divided in the longitudinal direction into a plurality of (for instance, as shown, two)
chambers partitions 13 which are gas permeable in various ways. In another preferred embodiment, thereceptacle 2 can have three chambers. - Fig. 2 also illustrates an
exhaust gas flow 19 through theexhaust system 1. The exhaust gases enter the system through aninlet pipe 20, which is inserted into theopening 3 of thereceptacle 2. The exhaust gases then reach, through a radial hole in theinlet pipe 20, afirst chamber 10. Subsequently the exhaust gases pass on to asecond chamber 11 through apartition 13, which is perforated. After that the exhaust gases pass into thedischarge pipe 4 throughradial holes 16 at the inner end thereof. Theexhaust gas flow 19 then follows thedischarge pipe 4 and passes out of the same through theradial holes 6 at the outer end, to the space between thedischarge pipe 4 and thesurrounding sleeve 7. From this space theexhaust gas flow 19 finally reaches the ambient air. - Fig. 3 shows the result of a comparison between a conventional exhaust system and an exhaust system modified according to the invention. The conventional system does not have the
sleeve 7 in Figs 1-2, the discharge pipe does not have theseal 5 at the outer end and theradial holes 6 outside the receptacle. Otherwise the systems are identical. The graph in Fig. 3 shows the noise level at different frequency bands for the conventional system (dotted line) and for the system according to an embodiment of the invention (solid line). The measurement at thedistance 4 m relates to the exhaust gas noise only, since the actual engine (one-cylinder engine) has been made sound-insulated on the occasion of measurement. - On the whole, the noise level is typically about 3 dB lower for the system according to the invention. In addition, the reduction is achieved substantially in the range of 400 Hz - 5 kHz, which gives a significantly less sharp and disturbing sound.
- The invention is not limited to the embodiment described above and can be varied within the scope of the appended claims.
