Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of engine exhaust treatment, in particular to a mixer, a mixer assembly and an engine exhaust system.
Background
Engine exhaust systems treat hot exhaust gases produced by the engine through various upstream exhaust components to reduce exhaust pollutants. The various upstream exhaust components may include one or more of the following: pipes, filters, valves, catalysts, mufflers, etc. For example, an upstream exhaust treatment component directs exhaust to a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst having an inlet and an outlet. The outlet passes exhaust gas to a downstream exhaust component. A mixer (mixer) is positioned upstream of the inlet of the SCR reactor. Within the mixer, the exhaust gas produces a swirling or rotational motion. A doser (doser) is used to inject a reactant, such as an aqueous urea solution, into the exhaust stream upstream of the SCR reactor so that the mixer can sufficiently mix the urea and exhaust together for discharge into the SCR reactor for reduction to produce nitrogen and water to reduce the nitrogen oxide emissions of the engine. The doser may be fixedly mounted by a mounting seat of the mixer to spray a spray of urea aqueous solution into the mixer.
However, the mixer in the prior art still has improvements, for example, urea spray needs to be fully decomposed under different working conditions, and exhaust gas and the urea spray are uniformly mixed, so that the exhaust gas is efficiently and fully treated in the SCR reactor, and the nitrogen oxide treatment capacity of an engine exhaust system is improved.

Detailed Description
The following discloses many different embodiments or examples for implementing the subject technology described. Specific examples of components and arrangements are described below to simplify the present disclosure, but these are merely examples and do not limit the scope of the invention.
Furthermore, references to "one embodiment," "an embodiment," and/or "some embodiments" mean a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with at least one embodiment of the application. Therefore, it is emphasized and should be appreciated that two or more references to "an embodiment" or "one or more embodiments" in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. Furthermore, some features, structures, or characteristics of one or more embodiments of the present application may be combined as appropriate.
Referring to FIG. 1, in one embodiment, a mixer assembly 10 includes a mixer 1, an ejector 2, and a conduit 3. As shown in FIG. 1, the conduit 3 provides for the flow of exhaust gas 100, the direction of the exhaust gas 100 being from the upstream to the downstream direction as indicated by the arrows. The injector 2 is disposed on the side wall of the pipe 3 through an injector mounting seat 4, and injects a reactant spray 200, typically a urea solution spray, mixed with the exhaust gas in the mixer and decomposed into ammonia gas, from the mixer, and outputs a mixed gas flow of the uniformly mixed exhaust gas and reactant to a reactor located in the exhaust system and located downstream of the mixer 1, the reactor is fluidly connected to the mixer, typically an SCR reactor 5, nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas react with the reactant under the action of a catalyst to be reduced into nitrogen gas, and the mixed gas flow generally needs strong swirl, so that the exhaust gas and the reducing agent are uniformly distributed on catalytic reaction sites of the catalyst. Especially for the SCR reactor 5 shown in fig. 1, which is small in volume and compact, it is especially necessary that the output mixed gas flow has good homogeneity and a sufficiently strong swirling motion.
As shown in fig. 1 to 5, the mixer 1 has a structure including a reactant injection region 11 and a swirling flow structure region 12. As shown in fig. 1, the reactant injection zone 11 corresponds to the injection direction of the injector 2 in the mixer assembly 10, and the injector 2 injects the reactant spray 200 toward the reactant injection zone 11. The swirling tissue region 12 includes a swirling tissue element 120 downstream of the reactant injection region 11 to cause the mixed flow of urea and exhaust gas to form a sufficiently strong swirl. The reactant ejection region 11 is distributed with a plurality of layers of reactant distribution elements 111, dividing the reactant ejection region 11 into a plurality of ejection spaces 112 between the layers, for example, as shown in the figure, six layers of reactant distribution elements 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, 1115, 1116 are distributed on the reactant ejection region 11, and five ejection spaces 1121, 1122, 1123, 1124, 1125 are divided on the reactant ejection region 110. The reactant distribution elements 111 of at least some of the tiers have communication openings 113 that communicate with their corresponding ejection spaces, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, and the reactant distribution elements 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, 1115 of the five of the six tiers of reactant distribution elements have communication openings 1131, 1132, 1133, 1134, 1135. This allows the injected reactant spray 200 to be redistributed within the reactant injection zone 11 to mix more evenly with the exhaust. With continued reference to fig. 1-5, downstream of the reagent injection zone 11, a swirling flow pattern zone 12 of the mixer is provided, in which swirling flow pattern elements 120 are provided, so that the exhaust gas forms a strong swirling flow with the reagent and is thoroughly mixed. The specific principle is that in the comparative scheme without the reagent distributing elements, as shown in fig. 7 and 8 (the boundary conditions of the large and small operating conditions are shown in table 1), the urea spray injected into the mixer is concentrated in the highest layer of the mixer under the large operating conditions when the flow rate of the exhaust gas is large, the mixing distance of the urea spray and the exhaust gas is short, and the swirling motion of the downstream tissue is difficult to form. And in a small working condition, because the exhaust flow is small, the urea spray droplets are distributed in a dispersed manner, and the mixing effect is good. As shown in fig. 9A and 10A, in the mixer of the embodiment, in the large operation shown in fig. 9A, the droplets of the reactant spray 200, i.e., the urea spray, can be distributed in the injection spaces 1121, 1122 located at the highest level and the next highest level, the urea spray is distributed over a wider range, and it is easier to uniformly mix with the exhaust gas and to form a swirling flow. And, set up the swirl organization component downstream, can further guarantee the good mixed effect too. In the small situation shown in fig. 10A, the distribution of the droplets of the urea spray is more dispersed, similar to that shown in fig. 8, and the dispersion effect is better than that shown in fig. 8, i.e., the arrangement of six reactant-distributing members in multiple layers and the arrangement of reactant-distributing members in multiple layers with communicating openings has little negative effect on the distribution of the droplets of the urea spray. In summary, compared with the comparative scheme, the scheme of using the mixer of the above embodiment has the advantages that the mixer can realize sufficient decomposition of the urea spray under the exhaust flow rates of different working conditions by arranging the reactant injection region and the reactant distribution elements in multiple layers, and the swirl structure region and the swirl structure element, and the exhaust gas and the urea spray are uniformly mixed, so that the exhaust gas is efficiently and sufficiently treated in the SCR reactor, and the nitrogen oxide treatment capacity of the engine exhaust system is improved. It is understood that the number of the reagent distributing elements is not limited to the six layers described in the embodiments, and can be adjusted according to actual mixing requirements.

Figure BDA0003252329070000071
With continued reference to fig. 1-5, in some embodiments, the size of the communication openings 113 decreases from the upper level to the lower level of the reactant distribution element, respectively, as shown in fig. 2-5, the opening area of the communication opening 1131 of the reactant distribution element 1111 in the highest level is the largest, and the opening area of the communication openings 1132, 1133, 1134, 1135 of the reactant distribution elements 1112, 1113, 1114, 1115 in the lower level of the upper level decreases, which has the beneficial effect that the flow velocity of the exhaust gas in the injection space of the upper level to the lower level increases, regardless of the large or small operating condition, as shown in fig. 9B and 10B. As shown in fig. 9B and 10B, the flow velocity of each injection space of the exhaust gas is V 1121 <V 1122 <V 1123 <V 1124 <V 1125
Preferably, as shown in fig. 2 to 5, the lowest-layer reactant distributing element 1116 is not provided with a communication opening, that is, the area of the reactant distributing element 1116 corresponding to the communication opening of the remaining-layer reactant distributing element is a closed area, so that there is a greater velocity difference between the velocity of the exhaust gas flowing through the lowest-layer injection space 1125 and the velocity of the exhaust gas flowing through the remaining layer, as shown in fig. 9B and 10B.
As shown in fig. 1 to 5, in some embodiments, the reactant distribution element 111 may be distributed in multiple layers in the reactant injection region 11, and at least the reactant distribution element 1111 in the highest layer may have a flow blocking portion 114 at the upstream end. Such an effect can further reduce the flow velocity of the exhaust gas in the injection space located at the upper stage, so as to extend the mixing distance between the urea spray droplets and the exhaust gas, and facilitate the subsequent swirling of the structure, so as to improve the mixing effect, as shown in fig. 9B and 10B, the flow velocity of the exhaust gas is small in the injection space 1121 corresponding to the flow choking portion 114. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 5, only the highest-level reagent distributing element 1111 has the flow blocking portion 114 upstream, but not limited thereto, and for example, the second highest-level reagent distributing element 1112 may also have a flow blocking portion. The inventors found that the ratio of the entire flow-obstructing portion to the height of the reactant ejection region 11 is 20% or less, so that a good mixing effect and a swirling flow structure effect can be achieved.
With continued reference to fig. 1-5, in some embodiments, the particular configuration of the swirling tissue element 120 may be such that the swirling tissue element 120 extends downstream from each layer of reactant distribution element 110, i.e., as shown in fig. 1-5, six layers of reactant distribution elements 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, 1115, 1116 correspond to six layers of swirling tissue elements 1211, 1212, 1213, 1214, 1215, 1216 extending downstream. The multi-layer swirl tissue element includes a first swirl tissue element 1201 as opposed to the higher layer swirl tissue elements 1211, 1212, 1213 and a second swirl tissue element 1202 as opposed to the lower layer swirl tissue elements 1214, 1215, 1216, such as shown in fig. 1-5. The first flow organizing element 1201 has a first flow direction 1221, the second flow organizing element 1202 has a second flow direction 1222, the first flow direction 1221 intersects the second flow direction, in the embodiment shown, the first flow direction 1221 is obliquely directed lower and the second flow direction is obliquely directed higher. This has the advantage that a plurality of swirls can be formed in the swirled tissue region 12. As shown in fig. 9B, 10B, and 11, four swirl areas 1231, 1232, 1233, 1234 at four corner positions are thus formed in the circular cross section. Under the effect of the sufficiently strong swirling flow, the urea is sufficiently decomposed and uniformly mixed with the exhaust gas, and can be uniformly distributed in the SCR reactor downstream of the mixer in the exhaust system. Relay (S)With continued reference to fig. 1-5, in some embodiments, the first and second cyclone tissue elements may be embodied such that the first cyclone tissue element 1201 has a corrugated extension 1250, the corrugated extension 1250 extends from an initial height from upstream to downstream to a higher height and then falls back to a lower height, the second cyclone tissue element 1202 has a first straight extension 1251, and the first straight extension 1251 extends from the initial height from upstream to downstream to a higher height. As shown in fig. 1-5, the initial height is the height of the corresponding reactant distribution element. With continued reference to fig. 1-5, the specific structure of the first and second swirling tissue elements 1201, 1202 may further be that the first swirling tissue element 1201 has a wave-shaped extension 1250 in the middle of the width direction, and the wave-shaped extension 1250 has second straight extensions 1252 inclined from the initial height to the lower part on both sides of the width direction; second swirl organizing element 1202 has first straight extension 1251 at the middle in the width direction and second straight extensions 1252 at both sides in the width direction of first straight extension 1251. Thus, a better tissue rotational flow effect can be realized. It will be appreciated that not every layer of second swirl tissue elements 1202 is provided with first straight extension 1251 and second straight extension 1252, as shown, for example, in fig. 1-5, and that second swirl tissue elements include swirl tissue elements 1215, 1216 having only first straight extension 1251 and no second straight extension 1252. Additionally, as shown, the first rotational flow tissue element 1201, i.e., the wave extension 1250, does not exceed 50% of the height of the rotational flow tissue region. Preferably, the first straight extension 1251 extends upward at an inclination angle A of 20 to 45, and the second straight extension 1252 extends downward at an inclination angle B of 20 to 45. Referring to fig. 9C and 10C, the ammonia uniformity (NH) of the mixed gas flow from the mixer 1 to the SCR reactor 5 under both large and small operating conditions 3 Uniformity Index) of 0.95 or more, wherein the Uniformity of ammonia in the SCR reactor is 0.960 for large operation as shown in fig. 9C and 0.958 for small operation as shown in fig. 10C, and also illustrates that the urea spray is sufficiently decomposed and uniformly mixed with the exhaust gas by using the mixer of the above embodiment。
As shown in fig. 2 to 5 and fig. 6, the mixer 1 may be specifically configured such that the swirling weave elements 120 are integrally connected from the reactant distribution elements 111 of each layer, the reactant distribution elements 111 of each layer and the swirling weave elements 120 form the mixer units 130 of each layer, the mixer units 130 of each layer are connected by the connecting strips 140, as shown in fig. 6, so as to form the optical plate 150 of the mixer, and the optical plate 150 shown in fig. 6 is wound to form the mixer 1 of fig. 2 to 5, and the mixer 1 is a single piece. The mixer 1 may be fixedly connected to the pipe 3 by a welding or the like process. The mixer with the structure has simple processing technology and low processing cost.
In addition, the inventors have found that the mixer 1 of the above embodiment is particularly suitable for the requirements of more severe application environments, in particular, the diameter of the pipe 3 is less than or equal to 152.4mm (6 inches) due to the requirements of installation space, and the embodiment shown in the figure is 72mm; the axis 21 of the injector 2 is perpendicular to the flow direction of the exhaust gas flow, and in the configuration of fig. 1, the axis 21 of the injector passes through the communication opening 113 and is perpendicular to the reactant distribution element 110. In order to achieve sufficient decomposition and mixing of the urea spray, the droplets of the urea spray have an average particle size of less than 70 μm, in the embodiment shown in the figure 48 μm. As shown in fig. 7 to 8, the distribution under different working conditions is greatly different due to the small particle size of the liquid droplets. The scheme of the embodiment can ensure that the mixer and the exhaust system still have good mixing effect under the condition of meeting the requirement of compact installation space and can be suitable for different working conditions.
As can be seen from the above, the mixer assembly and the exhaust system described in the above embodiments have the beneficial effects that by arranging the reactant injection region and the reactant distribution elements, the rotational flow organization region and the rotational flow organization elements in multiple layers, the mixer can achieve sufficient decomposition of the urea spray under the exhaust flow rates of different working conditions, and the exhaust gas and the urea spray are uniformly mixed, so that the exhaust gas is efficiently and sufficiently treated in the SCR reactor, the nitrogen oxide treatment capability of the engine exhaust system is improved, and the mixer and the exhaust system can still have a good mixing effect under the requirement of adapting to a compact installation space.
Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiments, it is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art can make variations and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present invention are within the scope of the present invention defined by the claims.
