Exhaust gas handling units of substantially the kind mentioned above are previously known, the main purpose of which being to reduce the sound from the engine without creating too much back pressure to the flow of exhaust gas from the engine. Such known units are however quite complicated to manufacture as well as assemble and are not adapted to process the exhaust gas to clean it.
The object of the present invention is to provide a technique for processing exhaust gas for cleaning as well as reducing sound and means that are well adapted to be manufactured as well as assembled. A further object is to increase the efficiency of the engine and thus reduce the fuel consumption for a certain engine energy output.
Summary of the invention These and further objects are obtained by a method, a system, a unit and an assembly according to independent claims 1, 9, 24 and 37, respectively.
Further advantages are obtained by what is specified in the respective dependent claims.
Thus, the under pressure, vacuum, associated with at least the inlet section and generated by the unit configuration provides a cleaner combustion and an increased torque due to engine piston moving energy support.
Preferably, an increase in cross sectional area at a transition from a connection between the exhaust gas outlet of the engine and the inlet section of the unit is provided for obtaining an exhaust gas pressure drop in the inlet section for vacuum generation.
Preferably, the unit is configured to guide a flow of exhaust gas from the inlet section through a space of the mid section, said space providing an expanded cross sectional area and being formed between an inner wall of the unit and a core positioned in the unit by supports, said space forming a high temperature zone for exhaust gas processing.
Preferably, the cross sectional area of an inlet pipe connection of the unit is smaller than the cross sectional area of said mid-section space formed between an inner wall of the unit and a core positioned in the unit by supports and forming said high tem- perature zone for exhaust gas processing.
Preferably, the unit is configured to draw out pollutive gases from the engine exhaust side in the engine exhaust cycle by means of said under pressure when the engine inlet valve and outlet valve are open at the same time, which leaves the corre- sponding engine combustion chamber comparatively clean for the following ignition cycle providing a comparatively cleaner combustion.

Detailed description of a preferred embodiment
In fig.5, 50 designates an internal combustion engine, e.g. a diesel engine, having an exhaust gas outlet 51 and comprising an exhaust gas handling unit 1 according to the present invention connected to said exhaust gas outlet. According to preferred embodiments the system comprises a turbo unit 52 connected to the exhaust gas outlet and the engine. According to certain embodiments the system comprises a SCR arrangement 53 connected to the exhaust gas arrangement after or before the unit 1 for exhaust gas processing for reducing NOx content.
The exhaust gas handling unit 1 has a cylindrical casing 2 with tapered inlet end 3 tapering to an inlet pipe connection 4. Similarly at the outlet end the outer casing has tapered outlet 5 tapering to an outlet pipe connection 6. In this way the unit is formed with an inlet section 3, a mid section 2 and an outlet section 5.
According to preferred embodiments at least the length LI of the tapered inlet section is about 80% of the outer diameter D of the cylindrical casing, such a geometry at the inlet section promoting the vacuum creation associated with the inlet section. Preferred is also that the length L2 of the tapered outlet section is about 80% of the outer diameter D of the cylindrical casing.
The unit 1 has an elongated cylindrical inner core 7 extending the length of the cylindrical portion of the outer casing, the core being supported in the casing by four posts 8 adjacent each end of the core. The core is of lesser diameter than the casing inner wall 1 ' thus providing an annular exhaust flow space between the casing and the core. The core ends 9 are domed and extend into the tapered portions of the outer casing thus providing a smooth passage for the flow of exhaust gas through the unit. The core is perforated with perforations 15 to cover between 40 to 60% of the surface area of the core. Preferably, the core is filled with a stuffing of a sound ab- sorbent material 13, e.g. long strand glass fiber or any suitable material, to provide a desired degree of sound absorption.
Preferably, the cross sectional area of the inlet pipe connection 4 of the unit is smaller than the cross sectional area of said annular mid-section space formed be- tween the inner wall of the unit and the core 7 positioned in the unit by supports and forming said high temperature zone associated with the mid-section for exhaust gas processing.
Fig. 3 shows the outer casing in more detail. In this embodiment the casing has an outer skin 10 and an inner skin 11, the inner skin being perforated with perforations 12 to assist in the absorption of sound. Preferably the space between the skins is filled with a suitable sound absorbent material 13, e.g. long strand glass fiber or any suitable material, for desired sound absorption. The tapered portions of the casing can be attached by welds 14 to the ends of the inner and outer skins thus forming the casing with the tapered ends.
In fig.4 one embodiment of a method according to the present invention is illustrated in a block flow chart, the method being for handling exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine.
A first step 100 comprises connecting the exhaust gas outlet of the engine to an exhaust gas processing and sound reducing unit having an inlet section, a mid section comprising a core, and an outlet section.
A second step lOlcomprises heating said unit internally by means of exhaust gas from said engine.
A third step 102 comprises providing the unit configured to create an underpressure, a vacuum, associated with the inlet section.
A fourth step 103 comprises processing the exhaust gas by burning, oxidizing, pol- lutive particle content of the exhaust gas in a high temperature zone associated with the mid section.
Above the method and the function of the system and the unit according to the present invention should to a considerable and sufficient extent have been made clear from the detailed description. When the engine is started the exhaust gas is comparatively cold and also gets chilled by the low temperature in the engine manifold, turbo, pipes and the unit. The unit is using the exhaust gas speed as the starting process that creates a draw into the inlet, which draws heat from the engine for transfer to the unit. In the inlet section the heat from the exhaust gas is heating to a high temperature and the exhaust gas is expanding. Due to the design of the inlet section the gas is forced at a high speed ahead in the unit to the mid section and due to the increased cross sectional area a pressure drop, a vacuum, is created. In the mid section the exhaust gas stream is going into an expanded area due to the fact that the cross sectional area of the inlet pipe connection 4 is smaller than the cross sectional area of the mid section annular The noise is reduced by the larger area and the silencer part, the core, in the central part of the mid section. The mid section thus reduces the gas speed, promoting that heat is transferred to and is stored in the material in the mid section for forming of the high temperature zone. In the heat pollutive content of the exhaust gas, e.g. particles, are burnt, oxidized, the exhaust gas thus being cleaned and e.g. black diesel smoke is reduced to a minimum.
In the outlet section the gas is compressed due to the decreased cross sectional area and the gas speed is increased.
The combined effect of all three sections is that a considerable vacuum is created in the inlet section and a high speed exhaust gas stream is output from the outlet section. The vacuum increases the engine efficiency.
Heat is created by the combustion in the engine and is unwanted energy being stored in the engine and has to be transported away not to do damage. Instead of a high back pressure created in a conventional exhaust gas system, the unit of the present system creates a powerful vacuum, which draws the heat from the engine and engine parts.
A clean combustion process is when you do not have pollutive gases remaining in a combustion chamber in an ignition cycle. In the exhaust cycle the pollutive gases are drawn out from the exhaust side by the unit when the inlet valve and the outlet valve are open at the same time, which leaves the combustion chamber clean for the next ignition cycle.
The next ignition cycle has a cleaner fuel and air mixture and no pollution and a higher oxygen level, which gives a cleaner burn and higher energy output in the ignition. The result is more torque, reduced need of fuel and less pollution in the ex- hausts.
The clean combustion process, leaving no carbon particles in the chamber, leads to no carbon up in new engines. In old engines the clean combustion burns old carbon up and the vacuum transports the remains away. The process is going on until the engine is completely clean. When completed the engine has increased torque, uses less fuel and outputs cleaner exhausts than before.
The fuel mixture can be adjusted to a thinner level to save more fuel and get cleaner emissions.
The increased torque is partly the result of the cleaner combustion as described above and partly the result of the vacuum created by the unit in the exhaust valve that is supporting the moving energy of the engine piston in its movement upwards, heat also being transported away.
Above the present invention has been described in association with examples and preferred embodiments. Of course further embodiments as well as minor amendments and additions may be imagined without departing from the basic inventive idea.
According to preferred embodiments the engine exhaust gas system comprises an exhaust gas charged turbo arrangement 52.
According to certain embodiments the unit according to the present invention is used in combination with a selective catalytic reduction, SCR, arrangement 53 provided for the engine exhaust gas system.
The unit may be constructed from steel and/or stainless steel or any other suitable material. The inlet and outlet pipes may be constructed for welding to the exhaust pipe or attached by any other means.
The unit may be part of any kind of assembly 55, fig.5, comprising an internal combustion engine 50, e.g. a diesel engine, e.g. a vehicle in the form of a car, a truck or a motor cycle, a drilling arrangement, transport vehicles for construction or mines etc.
