ABSTRACT:
A system for diffusing exhaust gases and controlling and suppressing backfire in an industrial truck is disclosed. Exhaust gases from the truck engine are first passed through a spark arresting muffler to remove hot, solid particles from the gas stream. The gases are then routed to a diffuser which is mounted on the truck's overhead guard. The diffuser contains a venturi and an air intake manifold to mix outside air with the gas stream and complete the ignition of unburned backfire gases. The diffuser includes a transverse diffusion chamber for substantially containing and burning backfires therein and a series of thin exit pipes for dispersing the gases and quenching exiting flames produced by the backfires within the chamber.
