Abstract: The present disclosure provides a burner for increasing the temperature of a gas stream, such as an exhaust gas stream, to burn particulate matter and unburnt hydrocarbons within the exhaust gas. As well, by heating or increasing the temperature of the gas stream and combustion products exiting the burner, the gas stream is brought into a condition more suitable for additional treatment to further reduce exhaust gas emissions from the engine. The device includes an outer housing and a series of combustion chambers mounted within the outer housing for increasing and further developing combustion of the incoming gases within the series of combustion chambers. A primary application for the device is for use with diesel engines to burn particulate matter and unburnt hydrocarbons within the diesel emissions and/or act as a heat source for activating diesel particulate filters and/or other catalytic components or devices.

Abstract: The exhaust gas purification device has a first chamber having an exhaust pipe inlet, an ambient air inlet, and an exhaust gas outlet. A Venturi is arranged within the chamber, having an inlet end communicating with an ambient air inlet, a throat, and an outlet end communicating with an exhaust gas outlet. The Venturi has an exhaust gas inlet between its inlet end and its outlet end, receiving exhaust gas from within the chamber, directed generally towards the outlet end of the Venturi, so that ambient air and exhaust air are mixed in passing through the Venturi to its exhaust gas outlet. A perforated pipe within the first chamber receives the exhaust gas, and the exhaust gas escapes there from via the perforations, into the chamber and thence to the Venturi. A second chamber, having a catalytic substrate assembly mounted therein, receives the mixed ambient air and exhaust air from the exhaust gas outlet of the Venturi, and has an exhaust pipe outlet.
