AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the airflow uniformity of the intake cone assembly is insufficient when the exhaust gas is guided to the end face of the downstream carrier.
The design employs an inlet cone assembly that includes a first guide vane, a second guide vane, and a third guide vane. These guide vanes turbulent the exhaust gas, causing it to flow evenly from the outlet to the end face of the downstream carrier. The guide vanes optimize the airflow path through an integrally stamped window and fin structure.
This improves the uniformity of airflow in the inlet cone assembly, reduces the swirling intensity, and ensures that the exhaust gas is evenly distributed to the end face of the downstream carrier.
