Description

Abgasanlage für eine Brennkraftmaschine und Verfahren zum Betreiben der Abgasanlage  Exhaust system for an internal combustion engine and method for operating the exhaust system
Beschreibung description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Abgasanlage für eine Brennkraftmaschine mit den Merkmalen aus dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 sowie Verfahren zum Betreiben der Abgasanlage gemäß den Merkmalen aus den Patentansprüchen 5 bis 7. The invention relates to an exhaust system for an internal combustion engine with the features of the preamble of patent claim 1 and method for operating the exhaust system according to the features of the claims 5 to 7.
Aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift DE 10 2009 032 213 A1 ist beispielsweise eine Abgasanlage einer Brennkraftmaschine bekannt mit einem einer ersten Zylindergruppe der Brennkraftmaschine zugeordneten ersten Abgasstrang und mit einem einer zweiten Zylindergruppe der Brennkraftmaschine zugeordneten zweiten Abgasstrang. Jeder Abgasstrang weist jeweils eine Abgasreinigungseinrichtung sowie einen der jeweiligen Abgasreinigungseinrichtung nachgeordneten ersten Schalldämpfer auf sowie einen dem jeweiligen ersten Schalldämpfer nachgeordneten zweiten Schalldämpfer und ein dem jeweiligen zweiten Schalldämpfer nachgeordnetes Abgasendrohr auf. From the German patent application DE 10 2009 032 213 A1, for example, an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine is known with a first cylinder group of the internal combustion engine associated first exhaust system and with a second cylinder group of the internal combustion engine associated second exhaust system. Each exhaust gas line has in each case an exhaust gas purification device and a first exhaust silencer arranged downstream of the respective exhaust gas purification device, and a second silencer arranged downstream of the respective first silencer and an exhaust gas end pipe arranged downstream of the respective second silencer.
Nachteilig an diesem bekannten Stand der Technik ist die Tatsache, dass der Dämpfungsresonator des Schalldämpfers nicht variabel einstellbar ist. Weiter sind aus dem Stand der Technik allgemein Schalldämpfer für Abgasanlagen bekannt, die nach dem Absorptions- und/oder Reflexionsprinzip arbeiten. Die Entwicklung eines solchen Schalldämpfers bedeutet in der Regel das Auffinden des bestmöglichen Kompromisses zwischen Mündungsgeräusch (Lautstärke nach dem Abgasanlagen-Endrohr), Abgasgegendruck und benötigtem Schalldämpfervolumen. Zur Umgehung einer solchen Kompromisslösung werden häufig Schalldämpfer mit einem oder mehreren beweglichen Verschlusselementen oder Absperrorganen, wie beispielsweise einer Abgasklappe, ausgeführt, um unterschiedliche Strömungswege in der Abgasrohrleitung der Schalldämpferanlage zu ermöglichen. Bei Schalldämpferanlagen für Brennkraftmaschinen sind oftmals zwei, drei oder auch vier Abgasanlagen-Endrohre vorgesehen. Bei den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Schalldämpferausführungen führt die Anordnung der Verschlusselemente in nachteiliger Weise dazu, dass je nach Stellung des Verschlusselementes nicht mehr alle Abgasanlagen-Endrohre oder auch Endrohrver- zweigungselemente mit Abgas durchströmt werden. A disadvantage of this known prior art is the fact that the damping resonator of the muffler is not variably adjustable. Further mufflers for exhaust systems are generally known from the prior art, which operate on the absorption and / or reflection principle. The development of such a muffler usually means finding the best possible compromise between muzzle noise (volume after the tailpipe tailpipe), exhaust back pressure and required muffler volume. To circumvent such a compromise solution often silencer with one or more movable closure elements or shut-off devices, such as an exhaust flap, executed to allow different flow paths in the exhaust pipe of the silencer system. In silencer systems for internal combustion engines, two, three or even four exhaust system tailpipes are often provided. In the case of the silencer designs known from the prior art, the arrangement of the closure elements disadvantageously leads to the fact that, depending on the position of the closure element, it is no longer possible to flow exhaust gas through all the exhaust system tailpipes or tailpipe branching elements.
Dieser Stand der Technik hat jedoch folgende Nachteile: However, this prior art has the following disadvantages:
«♦ Irritation beim Kunden, da nicht aus allen Abgasanlagen-Endrohren Abgas austritt (sichtbar bei niedriger Außentemperatur und am unterschiedlichen Verschmutzungsgrad der sichtbaren Endrohre); « ♦ irritation at the customer, since exhaust gas does not escape from all exhaust tailpipes (visible at low outside temperature and at the different degree of contamination of the visible tailpipes);
- Hoher Abgasgegendruck durch einen Engpass im Abgasanlagen- Endrohr;  - High exhaust back pressure through a bottleneck in the exhaust system tailpipe;
-#· Strömungsrauschen durch Engpass im Abgasanlagen-Endrohr;  - # · Flow noise due to bottleneck in exhaust system tailpipe;
-> Wärmespannung zwischen kaltem und heißem Abgasanlagen- Endrohr (Gefahr der Rissbildung);  -> thermal stress between cold and hot exhaust tailpipe (risk of cracking);
- Aufwendige Führung der Dämpfungsrohre bei der Schalldämpferanlage;  - Elaborate management of the damping tubes at the silencer system;
-> Hohes Gewicht der Schalldämpferanlage;  -> High weight of the silencer system;
· Hohe Herstellkosten der Schalldämpferanlage; Klappen sind üblicher Weise nur bedingt getrennt bzw. zeitlich versetzt zu schalten; dies führt zu einem deutlichen Abgasgegendruckanstieg in einem Abgasstrang. · High manufacturing costs of the silencer system; Flaps are usually only partially separated or shifted in time; This leads to a significant increase in exhaust gas backpressure in an exhaust gas system.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, die oben genannten Nachteile zu vermeiden und gleichzeitig eine Variabilität in den Dämpfungseigenschaften der Schalldämpferanlage einzubringen. Object of the present invention is to avoid the disadvantages mentioned above and at the same time introduce a variability in the damping properties of the silencer system.
Diese Aufgabe wird vorrichtungsmäßig durch die Merkmale im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 und verfahrensmäßig durch die Merkmale der Patentansprüche 5 bis 7 gelöst. This object is achieved by the device in the characterizing part of patent claim 1 and procedurally by the features of claims 5 to 7.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung der Abgasanlage werden sämtliche oben genannten Probleme vermieden. Die Abgasanlage hat einen bezüglich des Abgasgegendruckes vorteilhaften Aufbau. Durch den erfindungsgemäßen Aufbau können ein oder beide Absperrorgane, auch gleichzeitig verschlossen werden ohne eine wesentliche Steigerung des Abgasgegendrucks. Gegenüber herkömmlichen Abgasanlagen besteht bei geöffneten Absperrorganen, wie z. B. Abgasklappen eine minimale bzw. kaum messbare Drosselung (Anhebung des Abgasgegendrucks), da das gesamte Abgas- und Dämpfungsrohrvolumen bis zum Ende der Abgasanlage genutzt wird. Durch einen etwas geänderten Aufbau können die Absperrorgane auch zeitlich versetzt geschaltet werden, um einen subjektiven Gehöreindruck während der Schaltphase zu verbessern. Durch das versetzte Umschalten der beiden Absperrorgane können zu auffällige akustische Pegelsprünge in vorteilhafter Weise reduziert werden.  The inventive design of the exhaust system, all the above problems are avoided. The exhaust system has a structure advantageous with respect to the exhaust backpressure. Due to the construction according to the invention, one or both shut-off valves can also be closed at the same time without a substantial increase in the exhaust backpressure. Compared with conventional exhaust systems exists with open shut-off devices, such. B. exhaust valves a minimum or hardly measurable throttling (increase in the exhaust backpressure), since the entire exhaust and damping tube volume is used to the end of the exhaust system. By a slightly different structure, the shut-off valves can also be shifted in time to improve a subjective hearing impression during the switching phase. By staggered switching the two shut-off devices can be reduced to conspicuous acoustic level jumps in an advantageous manner.
Bezüglich Leistung und Dynamik (Ansprechverhalten der Brennkraftmaschine) wirkt sich der aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung sehr niedrige Abgasgegendruck der Abgasanlage sehr positiv aus. Für leichte akustische Anpassungen können die Volumina des ersten Schalldämpfers und des zweiten Schalldämpfers auch nachträglich geändert werden. Zudem können ein oder mehrere eventuell notwendige Resonatoren ohne großen Aufwand unter Beibehaltung der Symmetrie in einfacher Weise in die Abgasanlage integriert werden. With regard to power and dynamics (response of the internal combustion engine), the very low exhaust back pressure of the exhaust system due to the inventive design has a very positive effect. For slight acoustic adjustments, the volumes of the first silencer and the second silencer can also be subsequently changed. In addition, one or more possibly necessary resonators without much effort while maintaining the symmetry in a simple manner be integrated into the exhaust system.
Durch den symmetrischen Aufbau der Abgasanlage kann darüber hinaus der Schalldämpfer sehr günstig aufgebaut werden. Due to the symmetrical design of the exhaust system, the silencer can also be constructed very favorably.
Viele Komponenten der Abgasanlage können als günstige Gleichteile gefertigt bzw. verwendet werden: Many components of the exhaust system can be manufactured or used as cheap common parts:
Das Schalldämpfergehäuse kann beispielsweise als kostengünstiger Wickeldämpfer oder in Schalenbauweise umgesetzt werden. Bei einer Umsetzung als Wickeldämpfer können die beiden Seitenteile als Gleichteile ausgeführt werden. In Schalenbauweise können die Ober- und die Unterschale jeweils als Gleichteil ausgeführt werden. The silencer housing can be implemented, for example, as a cost-effective coil damper or shell construction. When implemented as a winding damper, the two side parts can be designed as a common part. In shell construction, the upper and lower shell can each be made as a common part.
Die Abgasrohre (Fig. 1 , Bereich a) können als Gleichbauteile hergestellt und verbaut werden. The exhaust pipes (FIG. 1, region a) can be manufactured and installed as equal components.
Die Y-Verzweigungselemente von den Abgasrohren zu den Dämpfungsrohren (Fig. 1 , Bereich b bis zum / ab dem Absperrorgan) können beispielsweise als IHU-Formteil (Innenhochdruckumformen) umgesetzt werden. Es kann somit als Gleichteil vor und nach dem Absperrorgan sowie an beiden Seiten der Schalldämpfer verwendet werden. The Y-branch elements of the exhaust pipes to the damping tubes (Fig. 1, area b to / from the obturator) can be implemented, for example, as an IHU molding (hydroforming). It can thus be used as a common part before and after the obturator and on both sides of the muffler.
Ebenso verhält es sich mit der Rohrverzweigung für die Endrohrverzwei- gungselemente (Fig. 1 , Bereich c). Diese können ebenfalls als Gleichteil für beide Seiten ausgeführt werden. The situation is similar with the pipe branching for the tail pipe branching elements (FIG. 1, area c). These can also be executed as a common part for both sides.
Die Dämpfungsrohre mit Perforation, welche durch den Schalldämpfer geführt werden (Fig. 1 , Bereich d), sind ebenfalls als Gleichteile umsetzbar. Sollte ein Resonator benötigt werden, können die benötigten Trennwände für beide Seiten ebenfalls als Gleichteil umgesetzt werden. The damping tubes with perforation, which are guided through the muffler (Fig. 1, area d), are also implemented as equal parts. If a resonator is required, the required partitions for both sides can also be implemented as a common part.
Auch für die Fertigung lassen sich auf Grund der Gleichteile für die Abgasanlage Montagewerkzeuge einsparen. Je nachdem wie die Fertigung eines Herstellers oder Lieferanten aufgebaut ist, kann für die Vormontage der Y- Verzweigungselemente und der Absperrorgane für beide Seiten der Abgasanlage die identische Montagevorrichtung verwendet werden. Also for the production can be saved due to the common parts for the exhaust system assembly tools. Depending on how the production of a manufacturer or supplier is constructed, the identical mounting device can be used for the pre-assembly of the Y-branch elements and the shut-off devices for both sides of the exhaust system.
Alle oben genannten Punkte führen zu einer signifikanten Reduzierung der Werkzeug- und Herstellkosten für die erfindungsgemäße Abgasanlage. All of the above points lead to a significant reduction of the tool and manufacturing costs for the exhaust system according to the invention.
Durch den großen Anteil von Gleichteilen und der Reduzierung von Einzelteilvarianten lässt sich zudem ein eventuell gewünschter Leichtbau deutlich einfacher realisieren. Due to the large proportion of identical parts and the reduction of individual part variants, it is also possible to realize a possibly desired lightweight construction much more easily.
Die Ausgestaltungen gemäß den Patentansprüchen 2 bis 4 sind besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsvarianten, The embodiments according to claims 2 to 4 are particularly preferred embodiments,
Mit dem Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Abgasanlage für eine Brennkraftmaschine gemäß Patentanspruch 5 wird eine minimale Schalldämpfung erzielt. With the method for operating an exhaust system for an internal combustion engine according to claim 5, a minimum sound attenuation is achieved.
Mit dem Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Abgasanlage für eine Brennkraftmaschine gemäß Patentanspruch 6 wird eine mittlere Schalldämpfung erzielt. With the method for operating an exhaust system for an internal combustion engine according to claim 6, an average sound attenuation is achieved.
Mit dem Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Abgasanlage für eine Brennkraftmaschine gemäß Patentanspruch 7 wird eine maximale Schalldämpfung erzielt. With the method for operating an exhaust system for an internal combustion engine according to claim 7 maximum sound attenuation is achieved.

Im Folgenden gelten in den Fig. 1 bis 4 für gleiche Bauelemente die gleichen Bezugsziffern. In the following, the same reference numerals apply in FIGS. 1 to 4 for identical components.
Fig. 1 zeigt einen Endabschnitt einer erfindungsgemäßen Abgasanlage 1 für eine nicht dargestellte Brennkraftmaschine mit zumindest einem ersten und einem zweiten, ebenfalls nicht dargestellten Zylinder. Der erste und der zweite Zylinder stehen stellvertretend auch für Zylindergruppen der Brennkraftmaschine. Dem ersten Zylinder ist ein erstes Abgasrohr 2 und dem zweiten Zylinder ist ein zweites Abgasrohr 3 zugeordnet. Weiter ist dem ersten Abgasrohr 2 ein erster Schalldämpfer 4 und dem zweiten Abgasrohr 3 ein zweiter Schalldämpfer 5 zugeordnet. Erfindungsgemäß zweigt von dem ersten Abgasrohr 2 stromauf eines ersten Absperrorgans 6 ein erstes Dämpfungsrohr 2' ab, das durch den ersten Schalldämpfer 4 geführt ist und in das zweite Abgasrohr 3 stromab eines zweiten Absperrorgans 7 mündet und dass von dem zweiten Abgasrohr 3 stromauf des zweiten Absperrorgans 7 ein zweites Dämpfungsrohr 3' abzweigt, das durch den zweiten Schalldämpfer 5 geführt ist und in das erste Abgasrohr 2 stromab des ersten Absperrorgans 6 mündet. Strömungsrichtungen des Abgases sind den Fig. 2 bis 4 entnehmbar, die durch Pfeile dargestellt sind. Wie aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, weisen das erste Dämpfungsrohr 2' und das zweite Dämpfungsrohr 3' im Volumen des ersten Schalldämpfers 4 und im Bereich des zweiten Schalldämpfers 5 eine Perforation 11 auf zur Abgabe von Schallemissionen in die Schalldämpfer 4, 5 zur frequenzselektiven Dämpfung des Schalldruckpegels. Fig. 1 shows an end portion of an exhaust system 1 according to the invention for an internal combustion engine, not shown, with at least a first and a second cylinder, also not shown. The first and the second cylinder are representative of cylinder groups of the internal combustion engine. The first cylinder is a first exhaust pipe 2 and the second cylinder is associated with a second exhaust pipe 3. Further, the first exhaust pipe 2, a first muffler 4 and the second exhaust pipe 3, a second muffler 5 is assigned. According to the invention branches from the first exhaust pipe 2 upstream of a first obturator 6 from a first damping tube 2 ', which is guided by the first muffler 4 and flows into the second exhaust pipe 3 downstream of a second obturator 7 and that of the second exhaust pipe 3 upstream of the second obturator 7, a second damping pipe 3 'branches off, which is guided through the second silencer 5 and opens into the first exhaust pipe 2 downstream of the first obturator 6. Flow directions of the exhaust gas are shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, which are shown by arrows. As known from the prior art, the first damping tube 2 'and the second damping tube 3' in the volume of the first muffler 4 and in the region of the second muffler 5 a perforation 11 for emitting sound emissions in the muffler 4, 5 for frequency-selective damping the sound pressure level.
Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel handelt es sich bei dem ersten und dem zweiten Absperrorgan 6, 7 um eine Abgasklappe, in anderen Ausführungsbeispielen können es auch beispielsweise Walzen sein. In the present embodiment, the first and the second obturator 6, 7 is an exhaust valve, in other embodiments, it may also be for example rollers.
In dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sind der erste und der zweite Schalldämpfer 4, 5 aus Gleichteilegründen in einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse 8 angeordnet. In einem anderen Ausführungsbeispiel können sie auch teurere, separate Gehäuse aufweisen. In the present embodiment, the first and the second muffler 4, 5 are arranged in a common housing 8 for the sake of common parts. In another embodiment, they may also have more expensive, separate housings.
Weiter ist dem ersten Dämpfungsrohr 2' in dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel eine erste Resonatorkammer 9 und dem zweiten Dämpfungsrohr 3' ist eine zweite Resonatorkammer 10 zugeordnet. Eine akustische Kopplung zwischen dem ersten Dämpfungsrohr 2' und der ersten Resonatorkammer 9 bzw. dem zweiten Dämpfungsrohr 3' und der-zweiten Resonatorkammer 10 erfolgt jeweils durch einen mit 12 bezifferten Helmholtzresonator. Vorzugsweise sind die erste und die zweite Resonatorkammer 9, 10 in das gemeinsame Gehäuse 8 integriert. In einem anderen Ausführungsbeispiel können die Resonatorkammern 9, 10 auch in separaten Gehäusen dargestellt werden. In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel können die erste und die zweite Resonatorkammer 9, 10 auch als Reflexionskammern ausgeführt sein. Furthermore, the first damping tube 2 'in the present exemplary embodiment has a first resonator chamber 9 and the second damping tube 3' is assigned a second resonator chamber 10. An acoustic coupling between the first damping tube 2 'and the first resonator chamber 9 or the second damping tube 3' and the second resonator chamber 10 takes place in each case by a Helmholtz resonator numbered 12. Preferably, the first and second resonator chambers 9, 10 are integrated into the common housing 8. In another embodiment, the resonator chambers 9, 10 can also be represented in separate housings. In a further embodiment, the first and second resonator chambers 9, 10 can also be designed as reflection chambers.
Aufgrund der symmetrischen Auslegung der erfindungsgemäßen Abgasanlage 1 kann diese sehr preisgünstig aufgebaut werden. Viele Komponenten können, wie oben dargestellt, als günstige Gleichteile gefertigt und verwendet werden. Das Schalldämpfergehäuse 8 kann beispielsweise als kostengünstiger Wickeldämpfer oder in Schalenbauweise umgesetzt werden. Bei einer Umsetzung als Wickeldämpfer können die beiden Seitenteile als Gleichteile ausgeführt werden. In Schalenbauweise können die Ober- und die Unterschale jeweils als Gleichteil ausgeführt werden. Due to the symmetrical design of the exhaust system 1 according to the invention, this can be constructed very inexpensively. Many components, as shown above, can be manufactured and used as cheap common parts. The muffler housing 8 can be implemented, for example, as a cost-effective coil damper or in shell construction. When implemented as a winding damper, the two side parts can be designed as a common part. In shell construction, the upper and lower shell can each be made as a common part.
Die Abgasrohre 2, 3 (Fig. 1 , Bereich a) können als Gleichbauteile hergestellt und verbaut werden. The exhaust pipes 2, 3 (FIG. 1, region a) can be manufactured and installed as equal components.
Die Y- Verzweigungselemente von den Abgasrohren zu den Dämpfungsrohren (Fig. 1 , Bereich b bis zum / ab dem Absperrorgan 6, 7) können beispielsweise als IHU-Formteil (Innenhochdruckumformen) umgesetzt werden. Es kann somit als Gleichteil vor und nach den Absperrorganen 6, 7 sowie an beiden Seiten der Schalldämpfer 4, 5 verwendet werden. The Y-branch elements of the exhaust pipes to the damping tubes (Fig. 1, area b to / from the obturator 6, 7) can be implemented for example as an IHU molding (hydroforming). It can thus be used as a common part before and after the shut-off elements 6, 7 and on both sides of the muffler 4, 5.
Ebenso verhält es sich mit der Rohrverzweigung für die nicht separat bezifferten Endrohrverzweigungselemente (Fig. 1 , Bereich c). Diese können ebenfalls als Gleichteil für beide Seiten ausgeführt werden. The situation is similar with the pipe branching for the tailpipe branching elements, which are not numbered separately (FIG. 1, region c). These can also be executed as a common part for both sides.
Die Dämpfungsrohre 3, 4 mit Perforation, welche durch die Schalldämpfer 4, 5 geführt werden (Fig. 1 , Bereich d), sind ebenfalls als Gleichteile umsetzbar. The damping tubes 3, 4 with perforation, which are guided through the muffler 4, 5 (Figure 1, area d), are also implemented as equal parts.
Sollte ein Resonator 9, 10 benötigt werden, können die benötigten Trennwände für beide Seiten ebenfalls als Gleichteil umgesetzt werden. If a resonator 9, 10 are required, the required partitions for both sides can also be implemented as a common part.
Auch für die Fertigung lassen sich auf Grund der Gleichteile für die Abgasanlage 1 Montagewerkzeuge einsparen. Je nachdem wie die Fertigung eines Herstellers oder Lieferanten aufgebaut ist, kann für die Vormontage der Y- Verzweigungselemente und der Absperrorgane 6, 7 für beide Seiten der Abgasanlage 1 die identische Montagevorrichtung verwendet werden. Also for the production can be saved due to the common parts for the exhaust system 1 assembly tools. Depending on how the manufacture of a manufacturer or supplier is constructed, the identical mounting device can be used for the pre-assembly of the Y-branch elements and the shut-off elements 6, 7 for both sides of the exhaust system 1.
Dies führt ebenso zu einer deutlichen Reduzierung von Werkzeugkosten. Die Figuren 2 bis 4 zeigen die gleiche Abgasaniage wie Fig. 1 , jedoch ohne die erste und die zweite Resonatorkammer 9, 10, die auch als Reflexionskammern ausgeführt sein können. This also leads to a significant reduction in tooling costs. Figures 2 to 4 show the same Abgasaniage as Fig. 1, but without the first and the second resonator chamber 9, 10, which may also be designed as a reflection chambers.
Fig. 2 zeigt die erfindungsgemäße Abgasanlage 1 mit einer Einstellung für ein erstes Betriebsverfahren, wobei das erste und das zweite Absperrorgan 6, 7 geschlossen sind. Durch diese Einstellung wird eine maximale Schalldämpfung für die Abgasanlage 1 erzielt. Eine Strömungsrichtung des Abgases ist mit Pfeilen eingezeichnet. FIG. 2 shows the exhaust system 1 according to the invention with a setting for a first operating method, wherein the first and the second shut-off elements 6, 7 are closed. By this setting, a maximum sound attenuation for the exhaust system 1 is achieved. A flow direction of the exhaust gas is indicated by arrows.
Fig. 3 zeigt die erfindungsgemäße Abgasanlage 1 mit einer Einstellung für ein zweites Betriebsverfahren, wobei das erste Absperrorgan 6 geschlossen und das zweite Absperrorgan 7 geöffnet ist. Durch diese Einstellung wird eine mittlere Schalldämpfung für die Abgasanlage 1 erzielt. Die Hauptabgasströmung ist durch dicke Pfeile dargestellt, eine abgeschwächte Abgasströmung ist durch dünne Pfeile dargestellt. Fig. 3 shows the exhaust system 1 according to the invention with a setting for a second operating method, wherein the first obturator 6 is closed and the second obturator 7 is opened. By this setting, an average sound attenuation for the exhaust system 1 is achieved. The main exhaust gas flow is shown by thick arrows, a weakened exhaust gas flow is shown by thin arrows.
Fig. 4 zeigt die erfindungsgemäße Abgasanlage 1 mit einer Einstellung für ein drittes Betriebsverfahren, wobei das erste und das zweite Absperrorgan 6, 7 geöffnet sind. Durch diese Einstellung wird eine minimale Schalldämpfung für die Abgasanlage 1 erzielt. Die Hauptabgasströmung ist wiederum durch dicke Pfeile dargestellt, eine abgeschwächte Abgasströmung ist durch dünne Pfeile dargestellt. Fig. 4 shows the exhaust system 1 according to the invention with a setting for a third operating method, wherein the first and the second obturator 6, 7 are open. By this setting a minimum sound attenuation for the exhaust system 1 is achieved. The main exhaust gas flow is again shown by thick arrows, a weakened exhaust gas flow is shown by thin arrows.
Die erfindungsgemäße Abgasanlage 1 hat einen bezüglich des Abgasgegendruckes sehr vorteilhaften Aufbau. Durch den erfindungsgemäßen Aufbau können ein oder beide Absperrorgane 6, 7, auch gleichzeitig verschlossen werden ohne eine wesentliche Steigerung des Abgasgegendrucks. Gegenüber herkömmlichen Abgasanlagen besteht bei geöffneten Absperrorganen 6, 7, wie z. B. Abgasklappen eine minimale bzw. kaum messbare Drosselung (Anhebung des Abgasgegendrucks), da das gesamte Abgas- und Dämpfungsrohrvolumen bis zum Ende der Abgasanlage 1 genutzt wird. Durch einen etwas geänderten Aufbau können die Absperrorgane 6, 7 auch zeitlich versetzt geschaltet werden, um einen subjektiven Gehöreindruck während der Schaltphase zu verbessern. Durch das versetzte Umschalten der beiden Absperrorgane 6, 7 können zu auffällige, akustische Pegelsprünge in vorteilhafter Weise reduziert werden. The exhaust system 1 according to the invention has a very advantageous construction with regard to the exhaust backpressure. As a result of the design according to the invention, one or both shut-off elements 6, 7 can also be closed at the same time without a substantial increase in the exhaust backpressure. Compared with conventional exhaust systems with open shut-off valves 6, 7, such. As exhaust valves a minimum or hardly measurable throttling (increase in the exhaust back pressure), since the entire exhaust gas and Damping tube volume is used to the end of the exhaust system 1. By a slightly different structure, the shut-off valves 6, 7 can also be switched in time to improve a subjective hearing impression during the switching phase. By the staggered switching of the two shut-off elements 6, 7 can be reduced to conspicuous, acoustic level jumps in an advantageous manner.
Bezüglich Leistung und Dynamik (Ansprechverhalten der Brennkraftmaschine) wirkt sich der aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung sehr niedrige Abgasgegendruck der Abgasanlage 1 sehr positiv aus. Für leichte akustische Anpassungen können die Volumina des ersten Schalldämpfers 4 und des zweiten Schalldämpfers 5 auch nachträglich geändert werden. Zudem können ein oder mehrere eventuell notwendige Resonatorkammern 9, 10, auch als Reflexionskammem ausgeführt, ohne großen Aufwand unter Beibehaltung der Symmetrie in einfacher Weise in die Abgasanlage 1 integriert werden. With regard to power and dynamics (response of the internal combustion engine), the very low exhaust backpressure of the exhaust system 1 due to the embodiment according to the invention has a very positive effect. For slight acoustic adjustments, the volumes of the first muffler 4 and the second muffler 5 can also be subsequently changed. In addition, one or more possibly necessary resonator chambers 9, 10, also designed as reflection chambers, can be integrated into the exhaust system 1 in a simple manner without great expense while maintaining the symmetry.
