COMBINATION AFTERBURNER AND AUXILIARY MUFFLER

摘要

The device of the present invention may be coupled to a source of exhaust gases and compressed air. The device comprises a tubular casing with a lining of refractory material defining a passage for the mixture of exhaust gases and compressed air. An electrical heating unit and a heat sink unit are mounted in said passage, and baffles are located on the upstream side of the heating unit and intermediate the heating unit and the heat sink unit to deflect the gases from a straight line path to a path in the form of the letter "S," i.e., a reverse curve. The heater is provided with a body of refractory material affording a restricted passage section for the mixture of gases. The electrical resistance heating elements of the heater are disposed in said restricted passage.
