An exhaust treatment system for a vehicle includes an intake conduit adapted to receive pressurized intake air provided from a turbocharger compressor and supply the pressurized intake air to an internal combustion engine. An uninterrupted bypass conduit bypasses the internal combustion engine and includes upstream and downstream ends. The upstream end branches from the intake conduit. An exhaust conduit includes an upstream end adapted to receive exhaust from the internal combustion engine. An upstream end of a mixing tube is fixed to and in fluid communication with a downstream end of the exhaust conduit and the downstream end of the bypass conduit at a tubular joint, wherein the exhaust and the pressurized intake air are mixed within the mixing tube. An exhaust treatment device is in fluid communication with a downstream end of the mixing tube.

Bypass fluid system for exhaust aftertreatment

An exhaust gas treatment system for reducing emissions from an engine includes an exhaust conduit adapted to supply an exhaust stream from an engine to an exhaust treatment device. An injector injects a reagent through an aperture in the conduit into the exhaust stream. A vortex breaker includes a mount having a cylindrical sleeve extending through the aperture as well as a flared tube fixed to and positioned within the cylindrical sleeve. A window extends through an upstream portion of the cylindrical sleeve exposing the flared tube to the exhaust stream. The sleeve includes a downstream aperture in fluid communication with the window.

Exhaust gas stream vortex breaker

An engine system includes an engine, an intake fluid system, and an exhaust fluid system. Furthermore, the engine system includes a turbocharger device including a compressor member in operative communication with the intake fluid stream and an energy supply member in operative communication with the exhaust stream to be actuated thereby. The energy supply member transfers energy to the compressor member, and the compressor member supplies a compressed fluid stream to the engine. Moreover, the engine system includes an aftertreatment device in operative communication with the exhaust stream to treat the exhaust stream. The engine system additionally includes a bypass fluid system that bypasses the internal combustion engine. The bypass fluid system supplies the portion of the compressed fluid stream to the aftertreatment device.
