EXHAUST STRUCTURE HAVING RIB - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18602548 titled 'EXHAUST STRUCTURE HAVING RIB
The abstract describes an exhaust structure for an exhaust manifold that includes multiple inlet sections and an outlet section with a flange.
- The body of the exhaust structure has a rib with different sections, including inclined surfaces and a curved surface.
- The exhaust gas from the inlet sections exits through the outlet section, which is in fluid communication with both inlet sections.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for exhaust systems in vehicles. - Industrial machinery for efficient exhaust management.
Problems Solved: - Improved exhaust gas flow and distribution. - Enhanced durability and performance of exhaust systems.
Benefits: - Better exhaust gas handling. - Increased efficiency in exhaust systems.
Commercial Applications: - Automotive manufacturers for vehicles. - Industrial equipment manufacturers for machinery.
Questions about the exhaust structure: 1. How does the rib design in the outlet section improve exhaust gas flow? 2. What are the specific advantages of having multiple inlet sections in the exhaust structure?
Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing studies on optimizing exhaust system designs for various applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
An exhaust structure for an exhaust manifold includes a body including a first inlet section configured to receive exhaust gas, a second inlet section configured to receive exhaust gas, and an outlet section disposed in fluid communication with each of the first inlet section and the second inlet section to receive exhaust gas, wherein exhaust gas from the first inlet section and the second inlet section exit the exhaust structure through the outlet section, and wherein the outlet section includes a flange. The body may include a rib extending generally along the longitudinal axis and disposed on a surface of the outlet section, the rib including a first section having a first inclined surface, a second section spaced from the first section and having a second inclined surface, and a third section disposed between the first section and the second section, the third section having a curved surface.
