HYDRAULICALLY ACTIVATED EXHAUST FLAP

摘要

A flap arrangement in an exhaust track of a motor vehicle includes an exhaust flap and a slave cylinder for controlling an operative position of the exhaust flap. The slave cylinder is fluidly connected to a master cylinder by a hydraulic line containing a hydraulic fluid in the form of liquid metal. The movement of the master cylinder is thus transmitted via the liquid metal to the slave cylinder. A mechanical coupling of the slave cylinder with the exhaust flap moves the exhaust flap to a respective operative position.
