  • Patent number: 11560820
    Abstract: A static mixer for exhaust gas ducts of internal combustion engines includes an elongated hollow metal body having a shape which, relative to a symmetry axis, substantially corresponds to a solid of revolution defining at its inside a cavity having opposite bases, at least one of which has an axial opening, and a closed lateral wall connecting the opposite bases and having at least one radial opening over which a concave blade is arranged extending radially outward from a portion of the peripheral edge of the radial opening and surrounding a portion of the radial opening so as to define, in a first angular direction relative to the symmetry axis, a corresponding concave screen or spoon and, in a second, opposite direction, a mouth intended for the passage of gases and located substantially in front of the concave screen or spoon.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 23, 2019
    Date of Patent: January 24, 2023

  • Patent number: 10358967
    Abstract: Unit for reduction of exhaust gases for an IC engine. The unit has a cylindrical housing with gas inlet and outlet openings and injector for a reducing substance. A helicoid is coaxially arranged inside the housing. A channel conveys the exhaust gases, has a substantially quadrangular cross-section, and helicoidally develops inside the unit. The helix is generated by the intersection between the inner surface of the housing and the helicoid has an inclination angle (?) relative to planes perpendicular to the generatrices of the cylindrical housing ranging from 0° to 30°. The unit includes a coaxial stiffening and stabilization sleeve located at the center of the helicoid passing axially throughout the helicoid and axially over a length at least equal to the axial length of the helicoid. The sleeve cooperates with the inner surface of the housing and with the opposite surfaces of the helicoid to define the helicoidal channel.

  • Patent number: 8956040
    Abstract: Static mixer for the treatment of exhaust gases, including an annular support portion and a plurality of substantially coplanar radial vanes that are arranged radially with their rear portions or bases associated with the support portion and the front portions or radial tips converging towards the center of the mixer, wherein the body of the vanes includes at least three lines of bending, which define respective portions arranged on non parallel planes and defining corresponding impact surfaces for the exhaust gases.
