ABSTRACT:
An improved muffler system for internal combustion engines recovers heat energy of exhaust gases by spraying a fluid into the exhaust stream in order to absorb the heat energy of the exhaust gases. The heated fluid is collected at the bottom of the muffler vessel and the stored heat energy is transferred to a second fluid via a counter-current liquid to liquid heat exchanger. The heat energy from the second fluid is then removed and utilized, for example, to condition passenger spaces.
