Patents by Inventor Fumihiro NISHIURA

Fumihiro NISHIURA has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10047664
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a compact engine. An engine has a two-stage turbocharger provided with a high-pressure turbocharger and a low-pressure turbocharger. The high-pressure turbocharger and the low-pressure turbocharger are separately disposed on the gear case side and the flywheel side in along direction of a main body respectively. An intake pipe and an exhaust pipe connecting the high-pressure turbocharger with the low-pressure turbocharger are separately and respectively disposed on right side and left side in a transverse direction of the main body.

  • Patent number: 10006389
    Abstract: A supercharged engine includes an emission control device configured to add a reduction agent to exhaust gas from an engine main body to reduce nitrogen oxide in the exhaust gas by a catalyst, the supercharged engine including an air release valve configured to discharge a part of supplied air to be supplied from a supercharger to the engine main body through an air feed pipe to the outside of the air feed pipe, and a control device configured to control temperature of the exhaust gas by operating the air release valve and adjusting an amount of supply of the supplied air to be supplied from the supercharger to the engine main body.

  • Patent number: 9732652
    Abstract: An exhaust-gas purification device includes an injection nozzle provided inside an exhaust pipe and a catalyst reactor provided on a downstream side of the injection nozzle, and is configured to inject urea water from the urea water injection nozzle into exhaust gas and to reduce nitrogen oxide in the exhaust gas by a NOx catalyst contained in the catalyst reactor, where the injection nozzle is disposed to inject the urea water toward the downstream side of the flow direction of the exhaust gas, and a mixer is connected to an upstream end of the catalyst reactor, the mixer having a plurality of plate members radially disposed around the axial center of the exhaust pipe, the plate members each being formed in such a way that angles of plate surfaces of the plate member to the flow direction are different values on the upstream side and the downstream side.
