Tailpipe exhaust gas mixer and method

摘要

An engine system (100) includes an internal combustion engine (101) connected to an exhaust system (102). A portion (103) of the exhaust system (102) is connected to the internal combustion engine (101), and an additional portion (111) of the exhaust system (102) is connected to a vehicle and includes a tailpipe (123). An after-treatment system (105, 109) is connected to the engine (100) located between the internal combustion engine (101) and the tailpipe (111). A mixer (200) is located between a first segment of the tailpipe (202) and a second segment of the tailpipe (204). The mixer (200) is arranged to mix a flow of exhaust gas (214) from the first segment of the tailpipe (202) with a flow or air (218) to yield a mixture, and to route the mixture into the second segment of the tailpipe (204).
