Abstract:
A mixing system for an exhaust system includes a first mixing device having a plurality of first auger blades and an inlet having a first cross-sectional area. A second mixing device is separate and downstream from the first mixing device and includes a second auger blade. The second mixing device includes an inlet having a second cross-sectional area greater than the first cross-sectional area. A flow path longitudinal centerline of the first mixing device extends at an angle to a flow path longitudinal centerline of the second mixing device. A flow path longitudinal centerline of the first mixing device intersects the second auger blade. The first mixing device is disposed within a first portion of an exhaust pipe and the second mixing device is disposed in a second portion of the exhaust pipe. The second portion has a larger cross-sectional area than the first portion.

Claim (Index 1):
A mixing system for an exhaust system, the mixing system comprising:\n a first mixing device including a plurality of first auger blades attached to a central shaft and defining a plurality of flow paths through the first mixing device, a flow path longitudinal centerline and an inlet having a first cross-sectional area; and a second mixing device separate and distinct from the first mixing device and disposed downstream of the first mixing device, the second mixing device including a flow path, an inlet having a second cross-sectional area greater than the first cross-sectional area and a second auger blade, the flow path longitudinal centerline of the first mixing device extending at an angle to the flow path longitudinal centerline of the second mixing device, wherein the flow path longitudinal centerline of the first mixing device intersects the second auger blade, wherein the first mixing device is disposed within a first portion of an exhaust pipe and the second mixing device is disposed in a second portion of the exhaust pipe, the second portion having a larger cross-sectional area than the first portion.
