Description
This classification covers silencers, mufflers, and exhaust systems designed to attenuate noise and control gas flow from various machines, engines, and particularly internal-combustion engines. It encompasses acoustic treatment devices, exhaust manifolds, catalytic converters, particulate filters, and exhaust piping arrangements that manage both sound emissions and pollutant discharge. The scope includes passive silencing technologies, active noise cancellation systems, and combined exhaust treatment solutions for automotive, industrial, and stationary engine applications.
