A burner includes a tube, which includes a pre-mixing chamber that generates an air-fuel mixture containing fuel and a combustion chamber that burns the fuel. A first pipe supplies fuel, which is heated by an electric heater to the pre-mixing chamber. A second pipe includes a heat exchange unit that converts combustion heat of the fuel to vaporization heat of the fuel and supplies fuel heated by the heat exchange unit to the pre-mixing chamber. The second pipe is branched from the first pipe at a branched point, and the electric heater and the heat exchange unit are connected in parallel to the pre-mixing chamber.

Burner

An EGR cooler including tubes and a shell enclosing the tubes. Cooling water is supplied into and discharged from the shell. Exhaust gas is guided from a diesel engine into the tubes for thermal exchange of the exhaust gas with the cooling water. A bypass flow path for guiding the cooling water is constituted within the shell so as to prevent stagnation of the cooling water in the shell.

EGR cooler

Ceramic honeycomb filter

An EGR cooler including a flat box shell having an inlet for introducing cooling water and an outlet for discharging the cooling water, plates positioned at axial open ends of the shell to close the axial open ends thereof, hoods positioned at sides of the plates away from the shell to enclose end faces of the plates, tubes extending within the shell and having ends penetrating through the plates, the tubes for passing exhaust gas from one hood to the other for thermal exchange with the cooling water, guide plates curved away from the axial extension of the shell toward longer sides of the end face of the shell and provided in the hood on an inlet side of the exhaust gas, a bar positioned between the guide plates and extending in a direction of shorter sides of the end face of the shell for dividing a stream of the exhaust gas.
