Claims19
An exhaust assembly comprising a housing having an inlet receiving exhaust, an outlet discharging said exhaust, an interior chamber through which said exhaust flows from upstream to downstream from said inlet along a downstream direction to said outlet, an exhaust pipe extending from said outlet and directing said exhaust to atmosphere, said housing extending axially along an axis having at least a partial vector component extending horizontally, a water trap in said housing downstream of said interior chamber and upstream of said outlet and blocking water which may enter said exhaust pipe from flowing along an upstream direction into said interior chamber, said water trap blocking upstream water flow at a plurality of angular positions about said axis.
An exhaust assembly comprising a housing having an inlet receiving exhaust, an outlet discharging said exhaust, an interior chamber through which said exhaust flows from upstream to downstream from said inlet along a downstream direction to said outlet, an exhaust pipe extending from said outlet and directing said exhaust to atmosphere, said housing extending axially along an axis having at least a partial vector component extending horizontally, a water trap in said housing downstream of said interior chamber and upstream of said outlet and blocking water which may enter said exhaust pipe from flowing along an upstream direction into said interior chamber, said housing having at least one water drain, at least one diffuser spaced radially outwardly of said water drain relative to said axis and dispersing said exhaust from said water drain when the latter is not draining water, whereby to aid in cooling of said exhaust.
