Diesel engine parts for post-treatment of diesel engine gas exhaust

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the identification of stainless steel 304 parts used in the post-treatment of diesel engine gas exhaust, specifically braided stainless filters and gaskets. Participants suggest that these components may function as flexible gaskets or spark arrestors, preventing the ignition of carbon particles expelled from the exhaust. The braided wire design is compared to a HEPA filter, effectively capturing large particles while allowing for self-cleaning through combustion of trapped carbon. Recommendations for further research include specific Google searches for manufacturers and related components.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of diesel engine exhaust systems
  • Familiarity with stainless steel 304 properties
  • Knowledge of filtration mechanisms in automotive applications
  • Awareness of spark arrestor functionality
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "braided stainless filter manufacturers" for sourcing options
  • Investigate "braided stainless gasket applications" for compatibility insights
  • Explore "spark arrestor design principles" for enhanced safety measures
  • Learn about "HEPA filter technology" for comparative analysis
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, automotive technicians, and manufacturers involved in diesel engine design and exhaust treatment systems will benefit from this discussion.

TL;DR
Try to find parts from post-treatment of diesel engine gas
Hi folks,

Any idea about what is it?
I am required to find parts like these items which are made of stainless steel 304 and used on the post-treatment of diesel engine gas.

They look like flexible gaskets. But, my best guess is that it is a spark arrestor. When a diesel engine is working too hard, strands of carbon blown out through the exhaust, are hot enough to re-ignite when they reach the air and start fires in dry vegetation.
The braided wire would work like a HEPA filter to catch large particles. They would be held in the wire tangle until excess oxygen is available to burn the carbon, so the filter is self cleaning.

Braided wire works as a flame trap in gasoline vehicles because the wire cools the flame front.
