Abstract
An exhaust system includes an inlet configured to receive an exhaust mixture. The exhaust system further includes an exhaust line connected to the inlet. The exhaust system further includes an oscillating assembly connected to the exhaust line. The exhaust system further includes a by-pass line connected to the exhaust line. The exhaust system further includes a feedback path extending from an external gas source to the oscillating assembly, wherein the feedback path is separate from the exhaust line.
Claims20
An exhaust system comprising:
- an inlet configured to receive an exhaust mixture;
- an exhaust line connected to the inlet;
- an oscillating assembly connected to the exhaust line;
- a by-pass line connected to the exhaust line;
- and
- a feedback path extending from an external gas source to the oscillating assembly, wherein the feedback path is separate from the exhaust line.
An exhaust system comprising:
- an exhaust line;
- and
- an oscillating element connected to the exhaust line, wherein the oscillating element comprises:
- a chamber,
- an inlet configured to receive a gas flow, an outlet configured to output the gas flow, and
- a moveable element in the chamber, wherein the moveable element is configured to move based on the gas flow;
- and
- a securing device attached to the oscillating element, wherein the securing device comprises a plurality of contacting points extending from an inner surface.
An exhaust system comprising:
- an inlet configured to receive an exhaust mixture;
- an exhaust line connected to the inlet;
- a flow sensor configured to measure at least one of a flow rate or a pressure in the exhaust line;
- an oscillating assembly connected to the exhaust line, wherein the oscillating assembly is configured to vibrate the exhaust line based on an output from the flow sensor;
- and
- a securing device connected to the oscillating assembly, wherein the securing device is configured to transfer an oscillation motion of the oscillating assembly to the exhaust line for vibrating the exhaust line.
