Discover KnitMesh Technologies’ EGR Gaskets

KnitMesh Technologies’ EGR Gaskets play a crucial role in enhancing the performance and durability of automotive exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. These specialised gaskets are designed to absorb heat, sound, and vibrations, making them essential components in modern engine designs.

Crafted from knitted wire mesh, KnitMesh Technologies’ EGR Gaskets are engineered to withstand high shock loadings and operate effectively in challenging environments characterised by high temperatures, corrosion, and hostile conditions. This durability ensures that the gaskets deliver consistent performance and longevity, contributing to the overall efficiency of the EGR system.

One of the key features of KnitMesh Technologies’ EGR Gaskets is their versatility. These gaskets can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements, with options available in various profiles to suit different applications. This customisation capability allows for seamless integration into diverse automotive setups, providing an optimised solution for EGR systems across the industry.

 

Understanding Exhaust Gas Recirculation

 

Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is a method that helps to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions produced by internal combustion engines. It works by redirecting some of the exhaust gases produced during the combustion process back into the engine’s intake to decrease the amount of oxygen available for combustion and consequently reduce the amount of NOx created.

EGR Gaskets are used in EGR systems to absorb heat, sound, and vibrations. Heat is generated during the process of redirecting hot exhaust gases back into the engine’s intake, so EGR Gaskets are used to help absorb and dissipate this heat. 

How Knitted Wire Mesh Absorbs Energy

Knitted wire mesh is a highly versatile material used in a variety of industries because of its ability to absorb energy. The unique nature of the material allows it to absorb energy in the form of heat, vibration, and sound, making it a popular choice for many different applications.

One way that knitted wire mesh absorbs energy is through heat transfer. Because the material is made up of interlocking loops of wire, it has a large surface area that can absorb heat from its surroundings. This makes it an ideal material for use in applications that generate a lot of heat, such as high-performance engines or electronic devices. By absorbing excess heat, knitted wire mesh helps to protect these components and prevent damage.

Another way that knitted wire mesh absorbs energy is through vibration. When an object vibrates, it gives off energy in the form of sound waves. Knitted wire mesh is a highly effective material for absorbing these sound waves, as the loops of wire help to dissipate the energy and reduce the amplitude of the vibrations. This makes it an ideal material for use in applications that require noise reduction, such as in automotive exhaust systems or industrial machinery.

Lastly, knitted wire mesh can also absorb energy in the form of sound waves themselves. When sound waves pass through the material, they encounter resistance from the interlocking loops of wire, which helps to dissipate the energy and reduce the volume of the sound. This makes knitted wire mesh a popular material for use in acoustic panels and other sound insulation applications.
