Water drainage assemblies for aftertreatment systems
A water drainage assembly for an aftertreatment system comprises a first tube structured to be coupled to an outlet conduit of the aftertreatment system and has a first cross-sectional width. A second tube is disposed radially around the first tube. A first end of the second tube is coupled to a radially outer surface of the first tube. A portion of the second tube has a second cross-sectional width larger than the first cross-sectional width such that a volume is defined between the first and second tubes. A drain port is defined in the second tube proximate to the first end. The assembly is structured such that water flowing into the water drainage assembly flows into the volume defined between the first tube and the second tube and is expelled therefrom via the drain port.
1. A water drainage assembly for an aftertreatment system, comprising:
a first tube structured to be coupled to an outlet conduit of the aftertreatment system, the first tube having a first cross-sectional width;
a tail pipe;
a second tube disposed radially around the first tube, the second tube comprising:
a first end coupled to an outer surface of the first tube,
a tapered portion extending outwardly in a direction toward the tail pipe, and
a cylindrical portion that extends from the tapered portion to a second end of the second tube, wherein the second end of the second tube is coupled to the tail pipe, wherein the cylindrical portion has a second cross-sectional width that is greater than the first cross-sectional width such that a volume is defined between the outer surface of the first tube and an inner surface of the cylindrical portion of the second tube, and the second end is spaced from the outer surface of the first tube such that an opening into the volume is located between the second end of the second tube and the outer surface of the first tube; and
a drain port extending through the second tube,
wherein the water drainage assembly is structured such that water is flowable from the tail pipe through the opening located between the second end of the second tube and the outer surface of the first tube, and into the volume defined between the outer surface of the first tube and the inner surface of the cylindrical portion of the second tube and is expelled therefrom via the drain port.
2. The water drainage assembly of claim 1 , wherein:
the tail pipe comprises:
a tail pipe first portion coupled to the second end of the second tube, and axially aligned with the second tube, and
a tail pipe second portion extending at a non-zero angle from the tail pipe first portion.
