Abstract
Abstract An exhaust gas line for a piston internal combustion engine assembled of several parts consists of an inner pipe line conducting the exhaust gases and of a housing surrounding this pipe line with a spacing. Each of the housings contains a cooling liquid space. The cooling liquid spaces of adjacent housing are connected with each other by a connecting nipple. The connecting nipple, axially displaceable in the recesses, permits an expansion compensation between adjacent housings.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
A multi-partite exhaust gas line for a piston internal combustion engine in which each exhaust gas line section includes an inner pipe line means conducting the exhaust gases and a housing means surrounding said pipe line means with a spacing and having a cooling liquid space, the housing means of adjacent exhaust gas line sections being connected with each other, a substantially cylindrical recess means being formed in the adjacent ends of the housing means of two exhaust gas line sections, said recess means cooperating with a connecting nipple means, at least one liquid channel being arranged within the walls of the connecting nipple means that has radial openings, said radial openings corresponding with corresponding radial openings of the cooling liquid spaces in the cylindrical recess means of adjacent housing means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
131 words
A multi-partite exhaust gas line for a piston internal combustion engine in which each exhaust gas line section includes an inner pipe line means conducting the exhaust gases and a housing means surrounding said pipe line means with a spacing and having a cooling liquid space, the housing means of adjacent exhaust gas line sections being connected with each other, a substantially cylindrical recess means being formed in the adjacent ends of the housing means of two exhaust gas line sections, said recess means cooperating with a connecting nipple means, at least one liquid channel being arranged within the walls of the connecting nipple means that has radial openings, said radial openings corresponding with corresponding radial openings of the cooling liquid spaces in the cylindrical recess means of adjacent housing means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
