  • Exhaust gas system with circulation heat pipe
    Patent number: 9494063
    Abstract: An exhaust gas system includes an exhaust gas pipe with an integrated evaporator. In order to make the evaporator independent of the site of installation and the mounting position, a capillary structure is arranged between the outer sleeve pipe and the exhaust gas pipe. For increasing the efficiency of the evaporator, vapor grooves are provided in an area of an outer sheath surface of the exhaust gas pipe and fluid grooves are provided in an area of an inner mantle surface of the sleeve pipe.
    Type: Grant

  • EXHAUST SYSTEM WITH HEAT ACCUMULATOR
    Publication number: 20120297753
    Abstract: An exhaust system for a combustion engine includes an exhaust pipe, and a heat accumulator housing in surrounding relationship to the exhaust pipe. Arranged in the heat accumulator housing are heat pipes to provide a heat transport of heat energy contained in exhaust gas. Heat energy thus withdrawn from the exhaust gas can be carried off via the heat pipes in the heat accumulator housing.
