  • Patent number: 10920648
    Abstract: A determination method is for an exhaust gas treatment device mounted in a work machine and having at least one of a diesel oxidation catalyst and a catalyzed soot filter. The determination method includes acquiring heat damage information, acquiring cumulative heat damage information, and determining a usability of the exhaust gas treatment device based on the cumulative heat damage information. The heat damage information indicates an extent of heat damage of the exhaust gas treatment device based on a unique identification symbol of the exhaust gas treatment device. The cumulative heat damage information is acquired by accumulating the heat damage information.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8814969
    Abstract: An exhaust gas emission control system includes a cylindrical inflow body and an inflow pipe into which exhaust gas flows. The exhaust gas emission control system also includes a cylindrical outflow body and an outflow pipe from which the exhaust gas flows. The inflow pipe is provided with a louver member that covers an opening of the inflow body near an upstream side of an exhaust gas flow direction. The louver member is provided with slits and inclined plates capable of changing a flow direction of the exhaust gas passing through the slits into a desired direction.

  • Patent number: 8540793
    Abstract: An exhaust processing device includes a main body tube portion and a closing tube portion. The main body tube portion includes an opening in an axial end thereof, houses a main body exhaust path in an inside thereof, which allows an exhaust gas to pass therethrough. The closing tube portion includes a plate portion and a tubular portion. The plate portion covers the opening of the axial end of the main body tube portion. The tubular portion radially outwardly protrudes from an outer peripheral surface of the main body tube portion, and is integrated with the plate portion. The tubular portion houses an exhaust path in an inside thereof, which communicates with the main body exhaust path. The tubular portion of the closing tube portion includes a first split half portion integrally molded with the plate portion, and a second split half portion joined to the first split half portion.
