- the exhaust gas has a high temperature of between 300°C and 500°C at the catalyst inlet.
- the exhaust gas temperature is inconveniently lowered as the exhaust gas is scrubbed with the water by the water-scrubbing type smoke removing device. For this reason, it is not allowed to install the catalyst at the downstream side of the water-scrubbing type smoke removing device. Consequently, the smoke particles are inevitably attached to the catalyst, resulting in various problems which have been described before in connection with the drawbacks of the conventional system (a).
- an object of the invention to provide an exhaust gas cleaning system for diesel engines, capable of maintaining a high efficiency of exhaust gas cleaning for a long period of time, by removing the smoke particles without fail by a heat-resistant filter disposed at the upstream side of the catalyst bed, thereby to overcome above described problems of the prior art.
- an exhaust gas cleaning system for diesel engines has an exhaust gas cleaning passage for cleaning the exhaust gas emitted from a diesel engine, a heat-resistant filter disposed at the upstream side portion of the exhaust gas cleaning passage, a catalyst convertor adapted to remove the bad smell and noxious components of the exhaust gas and disposed at the downstream side portion of the exhaust gas cleaning passage, and a regenerating device annexed to the heat-resistant filter and adapted to burn and remove the smoke particles which have been caught by the heat-resistant filter.

- the heat-resistant filter of the above-explained improved cleaning system of the invention is designed and constructed such that the burning and removel of the smoke particles caught by the heat-resistant filter - can be effected even during the flowing of the exhaust gas through the heat-resistant filter.
- the exhaust gas cleaning system for diesel engines in accordance with the invention is made small-sized and compact.
- a reference numeral 1 denotes a diesel engine having an exhust gas cleaning system of the invention.
- a reference numeral 2 denotes a starting end of an exhaust gas cleaning passage, to which connected are two shunt passages 3, 4.
- a change-over valve 5 is disposed at the point where the shunt passages 3 and 4 merge in each other, so that the flow of the exhaust gas is switchable between the passage 3 and the passage 4 depending on the state of the change-over valve 5.

- the heat-resistant filters 6 and ? are made of metal fibers of several different fiber diameters selected in accordance with the particle-size distribution of the smoke.
- the metal fibers of different fiber diameters are shaped into layers which are superposed or laminated to present a generally cylindrical or disc-like form as a whole.
- Passages 3a, 3b and passages 4a, 4b branch from the passages 3 and 4, respectively.
- the passages 3a and 4a lead to an exhaust pipe 8, while the passages 3b and 4b are communicated with a catalyst convertor 9 the outlet side of which is in communication with the exhaust pipe 8.
- Reference numerals 10 and 11 denote change-over valves disposed in the branch pipes 3a, 3b and the branch pipes 4a, 4b, respectively.
- the arrangement us such that, as the change-over valves 10 and 11 are operated, the state of communication is switchable between a first mode in which the branching pipes directly communicate with the exhaust pipe 8 and a second mode in which these branch pipes 3, 4 are communicated with the catalyst convertor 9.
- Reference numerals 12 and 13 denote regenerating passages extended between the branch passages 3 and 4. These regenerating passages 12 and 13 are connected to the inlet sides of the heat-resistant filters 6 and 7. Further, a change-over valve 15 is disposed at the blow-in port 14 of the regenerating passages 12, 13 so as to be confronted by a burner 16. The arrangement is such that, the smoke particles with which the heat-resistant filters 6, 7 are clogged are burnt and removed as hot air is introduced into the filters 6 and 7 by means of the blower 17.
- the regenerating device for regenerating the heat-resistant filters 6 and 7 are thus constructed. Since the exhaust gas emitted from the diesel engine contains only a small amount of oxygen, it is extremely difficult to burn the smoke particles. A blower 17 is therefore provided for supplying external air to assist the complete burning of the smoke particles.
- Reference numerals 18 and 19 denote pressure differential gauges attached across respective heat-resistant filters 6 and 7. More specifically, the pressure differential gauge 18 is communicated with the outlet and inlet sides of the heat-resistant filter 6, while the pressure differential gauge 19 is communicated with the outlet and inlet sides of the heat-resistant filter 7. These pressure differential gauges are adapted to inform of the pressure differential or pressure drop across respective heat-resistant filters 6, 7, i.e. the state of clogging of these filters with the smoke particles.
- an automatic control is adopted to automatically reverse or inverse the change-over valves 5, 10, 11, 15 to switch the passage of the exhaust gas and to automatically start the burner 16 and the blower 17 thereby to feed hot air into the heat-resistant filters 6, 7 to burn and remove the smoke particles attach. ing to these filters.
- This automatic control is made in accordance with the state of clogging of the heat-resistant filters 6, 7 sensed by the pressure-differential gauges 18 and 19.
- the exhaust gas emitted from the diesel engine 1 is made to flow into the branch passage 3 through the starting end of the exhaust cleaning passage 2 and then flows through the heat-resistant filter 6 to reach the catalyst convertor 9 via the branch passage 3b.
- the exhaust gas is finally relieved to the atmosphere through the exhaust pipe 8.
- the noxious components such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon of the exhaust gas and the bad smell are decomposed into harmless carbon dioxide due to the catalytic oxidation action of the catalyst filling the catalyst convertor 9.
- the undesirable attaching of the smoke particles to the catalyst convertor 9 is fairly avoided because the smoke particles have been already caught and removed by the heat-resistant filter 6, so that the catalytic action of the catalyst is maintained for longer period of time without deterioration.
- the attaching or deposition of the smoke particles to the heat-resistant filter 6 appears as the increase of the pressure loss across the heat-resistant filter 6.
- This increase is conveniently detected by the pressure differential gauge 18 which in turn acts to cause an automatic inversion of the change-over valves 5, 10, 11, 15 to switch the passage to make the-exhaust gas flow through the branch passage 4 and, hence, the heat-resistant filter 7, thereby to permit a continuous cleaning.
- the burner 16 and the blower 17 are automatically started to supply the hot air to the heat-resistant filter 6 which has been clogged with the smoke particles, thereby to completely burn the smoke particles which have been caught by the heat-resistant filter 6 to regenerate the latter in a comparatively short period of time.
- the gases generated during the regeneration of the heat-resistant filter is discharged directly through the exhaust pipe 8, via the branch passage 3.
- the heat-resistant filters are arranged in two parallel lines, to permit a switching such that one line operates while the other line is being regenerated.
- This arrangement is not exclusive and it is possible to make the exhaust gas cleaning system small-sized and compact by using only one line of the heat-resistant filter and arranging such that the exhaust gas is allowed to flow through the sole heat-resistant filter even during the regeneration of the latter.
- a reference numeral 21 denotes a cylindrical hollow case disposed in the exhaust system of a diesel engine.
- An inlet 22 for the exhaust gas is formed in the peripheral wall of the case 21 at a portion close to one axial end of the latter, while an outlet 23 for the exhaust gas is formed near the other axial end of the case 21.
- the case 21 accomodates a heat-resistant filter 24 which is constituted by metallic fibers or the like material shaped into the form of a mat or sheet and wound in a spiral manner into a hollow cylindrical form.
- this heat-resistant filter 24 of the second embodiment is composed of metal fibers of different fiber diameters suitably selected in accordance with the particle-size distribution of the smoke particles.
- the axial end portion of the heat-resistant filter 24 closer to the inlet 22 is closed by a cover 25 while the end of the same closer to the outlet 23 is left opened and communicated with the outlet 23.
- a reference numeral 26 denotes a catalyst bed disposed in the case 21.
- This catalyst bed 26 is constituted by sponge-shaped metal catalyst wound spirally into a hollow cylindrical form.
- the metal catalyst is typically platinum or the like material capable of removing the bad smell and noxious components of the exhaust gas, e.q. carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon.
- the catalyst bed 26 is disposed in the hollow cylindrical heat-resistant filter 24, i.e. at the downstream side of the same, and underlies the heat-resistant filter 24.
- a reference numeral 27 denotes a partition plate which is disposed near the outlet 23 of the case 21 and is adapted to separate the inlet 22 and the outlet 23 of the case 21 from each other. Therefore, the exhaust gas coming into the case 21 through the inlet 22 is allowed to reach the outlet 23 only through the cylindrical peri- .pheral surfaces of the heat-resistant filter 24 and the catalyst bed 26.
- a high pressure burner is attached to one axial end of the case 21 closer to the inlet 22 in an airtight manner.
- This high pressure burner 28 is adapted to be actuated in accordance with the pressure differential across the laminated layers of the heat-resistant filter 24 and the catalyst bed 26 or the pressure differential between the inlet 22 and outlet 23 of the case 23, i.e. the state of clogging of the heat-resistant filter 24 which is sensed by a pressure-differential gauge (not shown). Thanks to the high withstandable pressure, this high pressure burner 28 can operate even during running of the diesel engine, i.e. during flowing of the exhaust gas through the heat-resistant filter 23. Thus, the burner 28 can supply the hot air to the heat-resistant filter 24 even under the presence of the flow of exhaust gas to regenerate the heat-resistant filter 24.
- a reference numeral 29 denotes an intake port for high pressure combustion air, provided in the high pressure burner 28.
- the high pressure burner 28 is provided necessary means for coping with the fluctuation of the pressure of the exhaust gas introduced into the case 21.

- Figs. 4 and 5 show another form of this second embodiment.
- the device for regenerating the heat-resistant filter 24 is constituted by the high pressure burner 28.
- the high pressure burner 28 is substituted by a combination of an ordinary low pressure burner and a vacuum generating section formed in the exhaust gas discharge passage. Namely, these low pressure burner and the vacuum generating section constitutes the device for regenerating the heat-resistant filter 24.
- the vacuum generating section formed in the exhaust passage 34 upstream from the case 21 is designated at a reference numeral 33. This vacuum generating section can be formed by locally reducing the diameter of the exhaust passage 34 as shown in Fig.
- the low pressure burner 35 is disposed to confront to a conduit 34 which opens to the vacuum generating section 33, so that the hot air produced by the low pressure burner 35 is induced into the case 21 due to the vacuum which is generated as the exhaust gas flows through the vacuum generating section 33.
- the exhaust gas cleaning system having the described construction operates in a manner illustrated hereinunder. Assuming here that the diesel engine is operating, the exhaust gas emitted from the diesel engine is introduced into the case 21 through the inlet 21 of the latter, and flows through the walls of the heat-resistant filter 21 and the catalyst bed 26. Finally, the exhaust gas is discharged through the outlet 23. The smoke particles suspended by the exhaust gas are caught without fail by the heat-resistant filter 24 as the exhaust gas flows through the latter. Also, the bad smell and noxious components such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon are efficiently removed by the catalytic action of the catalyst bed 26 as the latter is passed by the exhaust gas.
- This increase of the pressure differential is detected by the pressure-differential gauge (not shown).
- the pressure-differential gauge acts to start the high pressure burner.
- hot air is introduced into the case 21 so that the smoke particles which have been caught by the heat-resistant filter 24 is completely burnt and removed to regenerate the heat-resistant filter 24.
- the heat radiating plate 30 is red-heated as a result of operation of the high pressure burner 28.
- the exhaust gas introduced through the inlet 22 is blown against the peripheral surface of the end portion of the heat radiating plate 30 and is heated by the latter as it flows spirally around the cylindrical peripheral sur- .face of the heat radiating plate 30. This heated air then flows through the heat-resistant filter 24 to completely burn and remove the smoke particles.
- the pressure differential gauge (not shown) detects the clogging to actuate the low pressure burner 35.
- the hot air produced by the low pressure burner 35 is introduced into the case 21 due to the vacuum generated by the vacuum generating section 33, thereby to completely burn and remove the smoke particles which have been caught by the heat-resistant filter 24.
- the present invention provides a small-sized system for cleaning the exhaust gas emitted from a diesel engine, which has a high cleaning performance and which is easy to maintain, applicable to various diesel engines such as those mounted on construction equipments and ordinary vehicles such as diesel buses and trucks, as well as to the diesel engines installed in buildings.
Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an exhaust gas cleaning system for diesel engines mounted on construction equipments or ordinary vehicles such as diesel buses and trucks or for diesel engines installed in buildings. More particularly, the invention is concerned with an exhaust gas cleaning system for diesel engines, capable of ensuring for a long period of time the removal of smoke particles and noxious components, as well as bad smell, of the exhaust gas emitted from the diesel engine.
- Hitherto, there have been proposed and used various exhaust gas cleaning systems for diesel engines the typical examples of which are shown below.
- (a) a system having a combination of a smoke removal device such as a cyclone and a catalyst bed disposed in the passage of the exhaust gas emitted from the diesel engine.
- (b) a system in which the exhaust gas is blown into water or a system having a combination of water-scrubbing type smoke removal device adapted to atomize and spray scrubbing water into the exhaust gas and a catalyst bed.
- The inertia type dust collecting device such as the cyclone of the above-mentioned system (a), however, is effective only for dust particles having particle sizes of greater than several microns, and cannot be used effectively for catching smoke particles having smaller particle sizes. Generally, the smoke particles of the exhaust gases emitted from the diesel engine are too small to be caught by the inertia type dust collecting device. Thus, it is not possible to satisfactorily catch the smoke particles of the exhaust gas from diesel engines, with the cyclone. As a-result, carbon particles of the smoke are inconveniently attached to the surface of the catalyst during long use to deteriorate the function of the catalyst to make it impossible to effectively remove the bad smell and noxious components such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon. To regenerate this catalyst, it is necessary to heat it up to a high temperature which is not only troublesome but also causes a deterioration of the catalytic function, as well as distortion or breakdown of the catalyst.
- On the other hand, in the above-mentioned conventional system (b), the water-scrubbing type smoke removing device can remove the smoke-satisfactorily. However, as a result of the supply of the water, a large amount of steam is generated to seriously hinder the visibility. Further, troublesome maintenance work such as supply of the scrubbing water and so forth is required.
- For completely removing the bad smell and the noxi-- ous components of the exhaust gas, it is necessary that the exhaust gas has a high temperature of between 300°C and 500°C at the catalyst inlet. However, in the system (b) above, the exhaust gas temperature is inconveniently lowered as the exhaust gas is scrubbed with the water by the water-scrubbing type smoke removing device. For this reason, it is not allowed to install the catalyst at the downstream side of the water-scrubbing type smoke removing device. Consequently, the smoke particles are inevitably attached to the catalyst, resulting in various problems which have been described before in connection with the drawbacks of the conventional system (a).
- It is, therefore, an object of the invention to provide an exhaust gas cleaning system for diesel engines, capable of maintaining a high efficiency of exhaust gas cleaning for a long period of time, by removing the smoke particles without fail by a heat-resistant filter disposed at the upstream side of the catalyst bed, thereby to overcome above described problems of the prior art.
- It is another object of the invention to provide an exhaust gas cleaning system for diesel engines, in which the construction for burning and removing the smoke particles which have been caught by the heat-resistant filter as the latter is passed by the exhaust gas is highly simplified.
- According to the invention, an exhaust gas cleaning system for diesel engines has an exhaust gas cleaning passage for cleaning the exhaust gas emitted from a diesel engine, a heat-resistant filter disposed at the upstream side portion of the exhaust gas cleaning passage, a catalyst convertor adapted to remove the bad smell and noxious components of the exhaust gas and disposed at the downstream side portion of the exhaust gas cleaning passage, and a regenerating device annexed to the heat-resistant filter and adapted to burn and remove the smoke particles which have been caught by the heat-resistant filter.
- In this arrangement, the undesirable attaching of the smoke particles to the catalyst bed is effectively prevented by the filtration performed by the heat-resistant filter, so that a good cleaning performance is ensured for a long period of time.. At the same time, the smoke particles caught by the heat-resistant filter can easily be burnt and removed by the regenerating device.
- The heat-resistant filter of the above-explained improved cleaning system of the invention is designed and constructed such that the burning and removel of the smoke particles caught by the heat-resistant filter - can be effected even during the flowing of the exhaust gas through the heat-resistant filter. In consequence, the exhaust gas cleaning system for diesel engines in accordance with the invention is made small-sized and compact.

The arrangement is such that, the smoke particles with which the heat-resistant filters filters blower 17. The regenerating device for regenerating the heat-resistant filters blower 17 is therefore provided for supplying external air to assist the complete burning of the smoke particles. -
Reference numerals resistant filters differential gauge 18 is communicated with the outlet and inlet sides of the heat-resistant filter 6, while the pressuredifferential gauge 19 is communicated with the outlet and inlet sides of the heat-resistant filter 7. These pressure differential gauges are adapted to inform of the pressure differential or pressure drop across respective heat-resistant filters - Although not shown, an automatic control is adopted to automatically reverse or inverse the change-over
valves burner 16 and theblower 17 thereby to feed hot air into the heat-resistant filters resistant filters differential gauges - In the exhaust gas cleaning system of the invention having the described construction, assuming here that the diesel engine has been started with the change-over
valves diesel engine 1 is made to flow into thebranch passage 3 through the starting end of theexhaust cleaning passage 2 and then flows through the heat-resistant filter 6 to reach thecatalyst convertor 9 via thebranch passage 3b. The exhaust gas is finally relieved to the atmosphere through theexhaust pipe 8. It is to be noted that, since the catching of the smoke particles relies upon the filtration performed by the heat-resistant filter 6, it is possible to catch even comparatively small smoke particles without fail, so that the smoke particles suspended by the exhaust gas is completely removed. On the other hand, the noxious components such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon of the exhaust gas and the bad smell are decomposed into harmless carbon dioxide due to the catalytic oxidation action of the catalyst filling thecatalyst convertor 9. In this connection, it is to be noted that the undesirable attaching of the smoke particles to thecatalyst convertor 9 is fairly avoided because the smoke particles have been already caught and removed by the heat-resistant filter 6, so that the catalytic action of the catalyst is maintained for longer period of time without deterioration. - The attaching or deposition of the smoke particles to the heat-
resistant filter 6 appears as the increase of the pressure loss across the heat-resistant filter 6. This increase is conveniently detected by the pressuredifferential gauge 18 which in turn acts to cause an automatic inversion of the change-overvalves branch passage 4 and, hence, the heat-resistant filter 7, thereby to permit a continuous cleaning. At the same time, theburner 16 and theblower 17 are automatically started to supply the hot air to the heat-resistant filter 6 which has been clogged with the smoke particles, thereby to completely burn the smoke particles which have been caught by the heat-resistant filter 6 to regenerate the latter in a comparatively short period of time. - The gases generated during the regeneration of the heat-resistant filter is discharged directly through the
exhaust pipe 8, via thebranch passage 3. - After the completion of the regeneration, the pressure drop across the heat-
resistant filter 6 is reduced. This reduction is effectively sensed by the pressuredifferential gauge 18 which in turn produces a signal for stopping theburner 16 and theblower 17. - In the described embodiment, the heat-resistant filters are arranged in two parallel lines, to permit a switching such that one line operates while the other line is being regenerated. This arrangement, however, is not exclusive and it is possible to make the exhaust gas cleaning system small-sized and compact by using only one line of the heat-resistant filter and arranging such that the exhaust gas is allowed to flow through the sole heat-resistant filter even during the regeneration of the latter.
- Hereinafter, another embodiment of the invention having only one line of the heat-resistant filter will be described with reference to Figs. 2 to 5.
- A
reference numeral 21 denotes a cylindrical hollow case disposed in the exhaust system of a diesel engine. Aninlet 22 for the exhaust gas is formed in the peripheral wall of thecase 21 at a portion close to one axial end of the latter, while anoutlet 23 for the exhaust gas is formed near the other axial end of thecase 21. Thecase 21 accomodates a heat-resistant filter 24 which is constituted by metallic fibers or the like material shaped into the form of a mat or sheet and wound in a spiral manner into a hollow cylindrical form. As is .the case of the heat-resistant filter of the first embodiment, this heat-resistant filter 24 of the second embodiment is composed of metal fibers of different fiber diameters suitably selected in accordance with the particle-size distribution of the smoke particles. - The axial end portion of the heat-
resistant filter 24 closer to theinlet 22 is closed by acover 25 while the end of the same closer to theoutlet 23 is left opened and communicated with theoutlet 23. - A
reference numeral 26 denotes a catalyst bed disposed in thecase 21. Thiscatalyst bed 26 is constituted by sponge-shaped metal catalyst wound spirally into a hollow cylindrical form. The metal catalyst is typically platinum or the like material capable of removing the bad smell and noxious components of the exhaust gas, e.q. carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon. Thecatalyst bed 26 is disposed in the hollow cylindrical heat-resistant filter 24, i.e. at the downstream side of the same, and underlies the heat-resistant filter 24. - A
reference numeral 27 denotes a partition plate which is disposed near theoutlet 23 of thecase 21 and is adapted to separate theinlet 22 and theoutlet 23 of thecase 21 from each other. Therefore, the exhaust gas coming into thecase 21 through theinlet 22 is allowed to reach theoutlet 23 only through the cylindrical peri- .pheral surfaces of the heat-resistant filter 24 and thecatalyst bed 26. - A high pressure burner is attached to one axial end of the
case 21 closer to theinlet 22 in an airtight manner. Thishigh pressure burner 28 is adapted to be actuated in accordance with the pressure differential across the laminated layers of the heat-resistant filter 24 and thecatalyst bed 26 or the pressure differential between theinlet 22 andoutlet 23 of thecase 23, i.e. the state of clogging of the heat-resistant filter 24 which is sensed by a pressure-differential gauge (not shown). Thanks to the high withstandable pressure, thishigh pressure burner 28 can operate even during running of the diesel engine, i.e. during flowing of the exhaust gas through the heat-resistant filter 23. Thus, theburner 28 can supply the hot air to the heat-resistant filter 24 even under the presence of the flow of exhaust gas to regenerate the heat-resistant filter 24. - A
reference numeral 29 denotes an intake port for high pressure combustion air, provided in thehigh pressure burner 28. Thehigh pressure burner 28 is provided necessary means for coping with the fluctuation of the pressure of the exhaust gas introduced into thecase 21. Areference numeral 30 denotes a cylindrical heat re- diating plate attached to thehigh pressure burner 28 .and adapted to surround the flame formed around thehigh pressure burner 28. A multiplicity ofapertures Reference numerals case 21 and a fixture for mounting thecase 21. - Figs. 4 and 5 show another form of this second embodiment. In the described second embodiment having only one heat-resistant filter, the device for regenerating the heat-
resistant filter 24 is constituted by thehigh pressure burner 28. In this another form of the embodiment, however, thehigh pressure burner 28 is substituted by a combination of an ordinary low pressure burner and a vacuum generating section formed in the exhaust gas discharge passage. Namely, these low pressure burner and the vacuum generating section constitutes the device for regenerating the heat-resistant filter 24. The vacuum generating section formed in theexhaust passage 34 upstream from thecase 21 is designated at areference numeral 33. This vacuum generating section can be formed by locally reducing the diameter of theexhaust passage 34 as shown in Fig. 4, or by separating theexhaust passage 34 into two sections and differentiating the diameters of oppos- .ing portions of theexhaust passage 34, as shown in Fig. 5. Thelow pressure burner 35 is disposed to confront to aconduit 34 which opens to thevacuum generating section 33, so that the hot air produced by thelow pressure burner 35 is induced into thecase 21 due to the vacuum which is generated as the exhaust gas flows through thevacuum generating section 33. - The exhaust gas cleaning system having the described construction operates in a manner illustrated hereinunder. Assuming here that the diesel engine is operating, the exhaust gas emitted from the diesel engine is introduced into the
case 21 through theinlet 21 of the latter, and flows through the walls of the heat-resistant filter 21 and thecatalyst bed 26. Finally, the exhaust gas is discharged through theoutlet 23. The smoke particles suspended by the exhaust gas are caught without fail by the heat-resistant filter 24 as the exhaust gas flows through the latter. Also, the bad smell and noxious components such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon are efficiently removed by the catalytic action of thecatalyst bed 26 as the latter is passed by the exhaust gas. - It is to be noted that, since the smoke particles of the exhaust gas have been caught and removed completely by the filtrating action of the heat-resistant .
filter 24, the undesirable attaching of the smoke particles to thecatalyst bed 26 is fairly avoided to ensure a good catalytic action of the catalyst bed over a long period of time. - As the amount of the smoke particles caught by the heat-
resistant filter 24 is increased, the pressure differential between theinlet 22 of thecase 21 and theoutlet 23 of the same is increased correspondingly. - This increase of the pressure differential is detected by the pressure-differential gauge (not shown). As the previously set pressure differential is reached, the pressure-differential gauge acts to start the high pressure burner. As a result, hot air is introduced into the
case 21 so that the smoke particles which have been caught by the heat-resistant filter 24 is completely burnt and removed to regenerate the heat-resistant filter 24. This in turn cause a reduction of the pressure differential in thecase 21, upon detect of whichhigh pressure burner 28 is stopped. In this case, theheat radiating plate 30 is red-heated as a result of operation of thehigh pressure burner 28. The exhaust gas introduced through theinlet 22 is blown against the peripheral surface of the end portion of theheat radiating plate 30 and is heated by the latter as it flows spirally around the cylindrical peripheral sur- .face of theheat radiating plate 30. This heated air then flows through the heat-resistant filter 24 to completely burn and remove the smoke particles. - Similarly, also in the case of the system shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the pressure differential gauge (not shown) detects the clogging to actuate the
low pressure burner 35. The hot air produced by thelow pressure burner 35 is introduced into thecase 21 due to the vacuum generated by thevacuum generating section 33, thereby to completely burn and remove the smoke particles which have been caught by the heat-resistant filter 24. - To sum up, the present invention provides a small-sized system for cleaning the exhaust gas emitted from a diesel engine, which has a high cleaning performance and which is easy to maintain, applicable to various diesel engines such as those mounted on construction equipments and ordinary vehicles such as diesel buses and trucks, as well as to the diesel engines installed in buildings.
