Abstract

See full text

An exhaust valve for an exhaust component includes a shaft defining an axis and a flapper valve that is fixed to the shaft for rotational movement about the axis. The flapper valve is mounted within an interior cavity of a valve housing that is defined by an inner diameter. The flapper valve comprises a disc-shaped body that has a maximum flapper diameter that is less than the inner diameter. A unidirectional drive unit is used to move the flapper valve between open and closed positions such that the flapper valve only rotates in one direction about the axis.
