Provided is a discharge electrode such that, even if there is an increase in the outer diameter of a trapping tube of a tubular trapping part of an electrostatic precipitator for treating diesel engine exhaust gas, the placement of electrode needles relative to a primary electrode can be set appropriately at a prescribed density, the electrode needles can be reduced in weight and maintained in shape, and the discharge electrode is effective in high-temperature countermeasures. The invention is characterized in having a tubular trapping part that comprises a primary electrode and a discharge electrode for electrifying particulate matter contained in exhaust gas of a diesel engine that uses heavy oil, and a dust-collecting electrode for trapping the electrified particulate matter; the discharge electrode of the diesel engine exhaust gas treatment device, in which tubular trapping modules short in axial length and differing in diameter are disposed in a plurality of levels in the tubular trapping part, being configured such that short discharge electrode needles or low-height saw-blade-shaped discharge electrode plates are radially arranged on the outer periphery of a cylindrical discharge electrode support pipe mounted on the outer periphery of the primary electrode.
F01N 3/01 - Exhaust or silencing apparatus having means for purifying, rendering innocuous, or otherwise treating exhaust by means of electric or electrostatic separators
The objective of the present invention is to provide a compact gas-liquid separating device that has a high collecting efficiency and can be installed even in a constricted location such as the engine room of a vehicle. This gas-liquid separating device employs a scheme whereby a mixed fluid comprising a liquid and a gas is separated into the liquid and the gas by causing the mixed fluid to impinge upon an inner wall surface of a separating vessel, the gas-liquid separating device being characterized by having a configuration in which: the separating vessel inner wall surface, which faces a gas-liquid mixed fluid inlet pipe, forms a gas-liquid mixed fluid impinging wall surface; an inclined bottom surface portion which collects droplets separated by means of the impinging wall surface, and a liquid recovery tank which is coupled by way of a liquid discharge pipe to a liquid collecting portion that is a continuation of the inclined bottom surface portion are provided; and a gas outlet pipe is connected to an upper surface portion of the separating vessel.
F02M 26/35 - Arrangement or layout of EGR passages, e.g. in relation to specific engine parts or for incorporation of accessories with means for cleaning or treating the recirculated gases, e.g. catalysts, condensate traps, particle filters or heaters
Provided is a small gas-liquid separation device that can be provided in a small space such as a vehicle engine compartment and has high collection efficiency. The gas-liquid separation device employs a method for separating a liquid and gas wherein a mixed fluid of liquid and gas is made to collide with inside wall surfaces of a separation chamber, and is characterized by being configured such that: the inside of the separation chamber forms a spiral flow path, and the inside wall surface of the spiral flow path forms the contact wall surface for the mixed fluid of gas and liquid; a gas outlet pipe is connected to the separation chamber on the upper surface side thereof; an inclined bottom surface part for collecting liquid droplets separated within the spiral flow path is provided on the lower surface side of the separation chamber; and a liquid recovery tank is connected via a liquid outlet pipe (waste liquid pipe) to a collection part linked to the inclined bottom surface part.
B01D 45/16 - Separating dispersed particles from gases or vapours by gravity, inertia, or centrifugal forces by centrifugal forces generated by the winding course of the gas stream
F02M 26/35 - Arrangement or layout of EGR passages, e.g. in relation to specific engine parts or for incorporation of accessories with means for cleaning or treating the recirculated gases, e.g. catalysts, condensate traps, particle filters or heaters

TERMINAL SEAL STRUCTURE FOR FUEL RAIL FOR GASOLINE DIRECT-INJECTION ENGINE
Provided is a terminal seal structure for a fuel rail used in a gasoline direct-injection engine and having a structure wherein one or both ends of a rail main body comprising a tubular body such as a pipe are closed off by an end cap, wherein the structure is simplified and the end cap portion is capable of handling high pressure. This structure employs a method of screw-fastening by means of the end cap and a collar connected by brazing to the opening end part of the fuel rail main body, and employs a gasket sealing method for the sealing method. A gasket interposed between the end cap and the fuel rail main body is tightened and sealed by axial force generated by tightening the end cap, which has been screwed onto and fastened to the rail main body.
