Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of engine manufacturing, for example, to an exhaust pipe assembly and an engine.

BACKGROUND

In some special fields, multiple pipes of the engine need to be protected, thus making the temperature of the engine meet the requirements. For example, absent any protection, exhaust pipes used for engines of marine or naval vessels, the temperature of the pipes would be so high that people cannot get close. Therefore, in the ship regulations, the surface temperature of the pipe needs to be lower than 220 degrees Celsius.

In the related art, a heat insulating material with very poor thermal conductivity is usually wrapped on the outer surface of the exhaust pipe, so that the exhaust pipe is separated from the outside world by the heat insulating material thereby indirectly reducing the surface temperature of the pipe. However, heat insulating materials are prone to problems such as cracking and falling off during long-term use, resulting in poor reliability and durability of this solution. In addition, covering the whole outer surface of the exhaust pipe with heat insulating materials would amount to occupation of a relatively large space, and may also compromising the aesthetics of the appearance.

A water jacket exhaust pipe solution is also used in the art. The water jacket completely or partially wraps around the outer surface of the pipe, and the engine coolant is used to remove the heat of the high-temperature exhaust thus reducing the outer surface temperature of the pipe. Typical water jacket exhaust pipe solutions however have following potential problems. First, in typical water jackets the water is only able to flow in one direction through the exhaust pipe, so that a water counterflow pipeline needs to be separately designed to create an engine coolant circulation. As such, extra components need to be arranged requiring extra space, leading to unsatisfactory compactness and unattractive appearance. Second, the purpose of the water jacket exhaust pipe is to reduce the surface temperature rather than cooling, when all the engine coolant flows through the water jacket, too much heat may be taken away while a pressure drop of a coolant circuit may be increased, which may directly lead to ineffective loss of heat and may also indirectly lead to power increase of the water pump, increasing the power consumption of the engine.
