The disclosure provided herein is directed to a wind deflector that provides a lift and subsequent deflection of naturally occurring wind. The wind deflector has a shield assembly that is connected to a mount assembly. The mount assembly is configured to be biased to a closed position that holds the shield assembly at a desired angle of deflection and to break away when physical force is applied against the bias of the mount assembly.

A system and method are disclosed for facilitating proper assembly of an exhaust system. The system includes a first modular exhaust treatment unit connectable to a second modular exhaust treatment unit. At one end, the first modular exhaust treatment unit includes a substantially continuous collar that integrates a first docking element therein. The second modular exhaust treatment unit includes a second docking element configured to engage the first docking element. When connected, the first and second docking elements operate to rotationally align and properly order the first and second modular exhaust treatment units.

System and method for facilitating proper assembly of an exhaust system

An exhaust assembly includes a water trap blocking upstream water flow at a plurality of angular positions enabling universal application and flexibility of orientation.

Exhaust assembly with universal multi-position water trap

An ultra-compact combination exhaust muffler and aftertreatment element and water trap assembly provides exhaust flow through an aftertreatment element surrounded by an annular water collection space receiving water diverted and shed from an upper dome cap above the aftertreatment element and below the upper outlet. In a further embodiment, the assembly includes housing sections separable from each other at a service joint axially between axial ends of the aftertreatment element for ease of servicing. In a further aspect, the aftertreatment element has an axial end within a housing section saving axial extension space.

Space saving serviceable exhaust aftertreatment assembly

An exhaust aftertreatment system and method enables servicing by a single technician and provides singular location mounting and alignment.

Serviceable aligned exhaust aftertreatment assembly

An apparatus, system, and method for measuring static pressure in a warm gas flow while minimizing particulate deposit formation includes a housing containing the flow of gas, a pressure sensor, and a heated pressure sampling tube attached to the sensor, with the tube sampling the gas flow. The heated sampling tube reduces the temperature gradient between the gas and the tube, reducing thermophoretic forces that contribute to deposit formation. The sampling tube extends through the housing into the gas flow in one embodiment, enabling the gas to heat the tube and locating the open end of the tube in a higher-flow area of the gas, further reducing deposit formation.
