Abstract: In an exhaust gas purification apparatus for an internal combustion engine, reducing agent is diffused and the exhaust resistance is made small. The apparatus includes a reducing agent addition valve that injects reducing agent, a reducing agent addition valve mount portion that has a space in which the reducing agent addition valve injects the reducing agent outside a stream of exhaust gas flowing in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine and on which the reducing agent addition valve is mounted, and an impingement portion that is provided in the reducing agent addition valve mount portion and on which the reducing agent injected through the reducing agent addition valve impinges, wherein the direction of injection of the reducing agent from the reducing agent addition valve is oriented toward the impingement portion, and toward downstream of the reducing agent addition valve with respect to the exhaust gas flow.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a technology that enables efficient utilization of the purification capability of an exhaust gas purification apparatus. To achieve the object, according to the present invention, in an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine provided with a reducing agent supply apparatus that supplies a reducing agent to the exhaust gas before it flows into an exhaust gas purification apparatus, an extension chamber is provided downstream of the position at which the reducing agent supply apparatus supplies the reducing agent to the exhaust gas and upstream of the exhaust gas purification apparatus. The extension chamber is provided with a back step flow creating portion that creates a back step flow of the exhaust gas in the extension chamber and a swirling flow creating portion that creates a swirling flow.

Abstract: A noise eliminator for a fuel cell, where an outer shell has a reception section in which a sound absorption material is placed between the outer shell and an inner pipe and has a water discharge section that is positioned so as to face a lower portion in the vertical direction of the inner pipe and in which the sound absorption material is not placed between the outer shell and the inner pipe. The water discharge section receives water flowing into the outer shell and allows the water to flow to the outside of the outer shell. Although the water discharge section receives water flowing into the outer shell, the sound absorption material inside the noise eliminator does not absorb the water from the water discharge section and does not contain it because there is no sound absorption material in the water discharge section.

Abstract: A noise eliminator for a fuel cell installed in an exhaust system discharging exhaust gas from the fuel cell, comprising an inner pipe having a plurality of sound transmission holes formed in its peripheral wall and allowing the exhaust gases to flow therethrough and an outer shell disposed to surround the inner pipe through a prescribed distance from the peripheral wall and constituting a sound absorbing chamber with a sound absorbing material filled in the clearance thereof from the inner pipe. The sound transmission hole has an inner diameter of 3 mm or greater, and a depth of 1.2 mm or less.

The water discharge section receives water flowing into the outer shell and allows the water to flow to the outside of the outer shell. Although the water discharge section receives water flowing into the outer shell, the sound absorption material inside the noise eliminator does not absorb the water from the water discharge section and does not-contain it because there is no sound absorption material in the water discharge section.
