ABSTRACT:
A system for treating exhaust gas from an engine is disclosed. The system may include a housing, a fluid treatment element, and a conduit. The housing has an inlet and an outlet port and defines a flow path therebetween. The fluid treatment element is arranged in the flow path. The conduit is fluidly connected with at least one of the inlet port and the outlet port and includes a first port having a first axis and a second port having a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis. The first port has a first cross-section with an inner diameter. The second port has a second cross-section with an inner width and an inner length. The inner length of the second cross-section is smaller than the inner diameter of the first cross-section, and the inner width of the second cross-section is greater than the inner diameter of the first cross-section.
