ABSTRACT:
A muffler arrangement includes an exhaust-gas muffler, which is subdivided into an inlet space and an outlet space. An exhaust-gas stub of an internal combustion engine opens into the inlet space. Exhaust gas is conducted from the outlet space into an air channel via an exhaust-gas outlet. The air channel is formed between the housing of the exhaust-gas muffler and an outer cover and extends along a side of the exhaust-gas muffler. A cooling-air component flow is branched from a cooling-air flow of a cooling-air blower and enters at a first end of the air channel. The cooling-air component flow exits again at the second end of the air channel. In order to reduce the discharge temperature of the exhaust gas (especially with the arrangement of a catalytic converter), it is provided that the exhaust-gas jet is conducted in the air channel in spaced relationship to the air channel walls and is essentially surrounded on its path to the air channel outlet window by the supplied cooling-air component flow so that the exhaust-gas jet forms a core flow and the cooling-air component flow forms a cover flow surrounding the core flow.
