ABSTRACT:
An exhaust gas processing device and method are disclosed for removing particulate and other materials from hot exhaust gas while muffling operational noises produced by the system emitting the exhaust gas. The device includes first, second and third portions through which the exhaust gas is successively passed, with the first portion receiving the exhaust gas and a liquid that is vaporized to coagulate particulate matter in the gas, the second portion including filters for removing particulate material coagulated in the first portion, and a with the third portion including a liquid containing reservoir and a filter for further cleansing the gas and also heating the liquid in the reservoir, which liquid is introduced into the first portion for vaporization thereat. The device and method are particularly useful in cleaning air exhausted from an internal combustion engine that may be used, for example, to power a motor vehicle.
