Title: Side branch absorber for exhaust manifold of two-stroke internal combustion engine

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1013681

A method of improving scavenging operation of a two-stroke internal combustion engine. The exhaust pressure of the engine is analyzed to determine if there is a pulsation frequency. Acoustic modeling is used to design an absorber. An appropriately designed side branch absorber may be attached to the exhaust manifold.
