Abstract
Abstract A combination of exhaust gas washer and fluid cooler and magnetic muffler comprising a compartmented washer connected to the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, a system of check valves, a circulating pump and radiator for cooling the washing liquid. The gases from the washer are passed through a magnetic muffler prior to release to the atmosphere.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
293 words
An exhaust control system comprising: a. an internal combustion engine having an exhaust port, b. an exhaust manifold means connected to the exhaust port of said internal combustion engine, said exhaust manifold interconnecting and conducting exhaust gases from said engine to, c. an exhaust gas washer connected to said exhaust manifold, said exhaust gas washer including: 1. an exhaust gas inlet adjacent a first end of said washer adapted to receive exhaust gases from said internal combustion engine, and injects gases into a first compartment of said washer, 2. an exhaust outlet adjacent a second end of said washer adapted to release exhaust gases from said exhaust gas washer, d. a washing fluid contained in said exhaust gas washer, e. a radiator adjacent said internal combustion engine, f. a fluid conduit means conductively interconnecting the said radiator and the said exhaust gas washer, and g. a fluid circulating means positioned in said fluid conduit means in such an arrangement as to circulate said washing fluid through said washer and said radiator, said fluid circulating means comprising: 1. a fluid inlet means leading through a check valve from said fluid circulating means into said first compartment, 2. a fluid outlet means leading through a check valve from a compartment adjacent the exhaust outlet, said fluid outlet leading to said radiator, h. an outlet check valve receiving fluid from the compartment to which is connected the exhaust outlet, i. a washer pump propelling fluid from the compartment adjacent the exhaust outlet through, j. an outlet suction jet discharging into the, k. washer radiator conduit, the point of discharge into said conduit being adjacent the said outlet check valve, and l. a magnetic muffler secured to said exhaust outlet receiving and further cleaning the exhaust gases.
