  • Patent number: 9505301
    Abstract: An engine device in which a first case and a second case can be installed in a compact manner while preventing a decrease of temperature of the first case and the second case due to cooling air for an engine. The engine device is equipped with the first case for removing particulate matter in exhaust gas of the engine, and the second case for removing nitrogen oxide in the exhaust gas of the engine. The first case and the second case are disposed on the upper surface side of the engine at a position higher than an air flow path of a cooling fan of the engine. The second case is disposed at a position higher than the first case.

  • Publication number: 20160053645
    Abstract: An engine device is provided with an urea mixing pipe which injects urea water into exhaust gas of an engine, and an exhaust gas purification case which removes nitrogen oxide in the exhaust gas of the engine, and is structured such that an exhaust gas inlet pipe of the exhaust gas purification case is connected to an outlet of the urea mixing pipe via a flange body. Exhaust gas outlet side end portions of an outer pipe and an inner pipe of the urea mixing pipe having a double-pipe structure are connected to exhaust gas inlet side end portions of an outer pipe and an inner pipe of the exhaust gas inlet pipe having a double-pipe structure. Fitting small-diameter portions are formed in an end portion of the inner pipe of the urea mixing pipe, and the fitting small-diameter portions are inward insert to an inner portion of the inner pipe of the exhaust gas inlet pipe.
