Definitions
- the present invention relates to a catalyst arrangement, in particular for internal combustion engines, according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for its production.
- Such a catalyst arrangement is known for example from DE-A-34 30 399 or DE-A-34 30 400.
- Most conventional catalyst arrangements contain a honeycomb-like catalyst body with a multiplicity of parallel channels, which can either consist of a ceramic base material or of structured metal sheets. Because the usual
- Exhaust pipes have a much smaller cross-section than a catalyst body, a conically widening diffuser section is usually arranged in front of each catalyst body and, correspondingly, a confusing section is arranged behind the catalyst body as a transition to the normal exhaust pipes.
- a known problem with catalyst arrangements now consists in that the flow of the catalyst body is not uniform over its entire cross-sectional area, so that flow guide bodies, for example, are used for uniform utilization.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to create a catalytic converter arrangement which has an optimal flow against the
- Catalyst body causes.
- the utilization of the volume required for the diffuser and the confuser is to be improved or this volume is to be reduced.
- a better light-off behavior of the catalyst should also be found.
- Flow guide bodies according to the invention can be used both in the diffuser and in the confuser.
- the open cross-sectional area of the flow guide body must increase in the diffuser, and it must decrease in the confuser, so that such a flow guide body only has to be arranged upside down. In the following, therefore, only the Flow guide considered in the diffuser, although all
- a flow guide body which consists of a plurality of at least partially conically widening channels, can direct the flow much more uniformly onto the entire end face of a catalyst body than known arrangements can.
- the pressure loss caused by the flow guide remains relatively small, in some cases even below the pressure loss that a diffuser without a flow guide would cause.
- Flow guide bodies according to the invention are therefore honeycomb bodies, the individual channels of which, however, do not run parallel but at angles to one another and which overall have a cross section which increases in the flow direction.
- the shape of such honeycomb bodies must of course be adapted to the shape of the cross-sectional area of the catalyst body, so that, in addition to truncated cone shapes, flattened shapes are also possible.
- a difficulty of the present invention lies first of all in the fact that the manufacturing techniques customary for catalyst bodies are not readily applicable to conical honeycomb bodies. Neither can conical bodies with conically widening channels be made from the usual nozzles with ceramic mass, nor can they be wound spirally out of sheet metal strips without problems. When manufacturing from metal sheets, as they are preferably used for catalyst bodies, new forms and manufacturing methods must therefore be found.
- the problem is that for the spiral winding of conical bodies, for example from alternating layers of smooth and corrugated sheets, there is no straight line Sheet metal strips are required, but sheet metal strips with a radius of curvature that decreases from layer to layer. The production of such metal strips is possible in principle, but not necessarily advantageous in terms of production technology.
- the flow guide only has to have a much smaller number of channels than that
- each channel has an effective opening angle, which results from its cross-sectional area at the entrance and its cross-sectional area at the exit, unless a channel at the entrance is divided into a plurality of channels at the exit, which also occurs in the present exemplary embodiments. Therefore, when the following refers to an opening angle of a channel, it means the solid angle that this channel delimits. The measure of this solid angle is the area that is cut out from this solid angle from the unit sphere around the apex as the center.
- the individual channels can in any case have such small opening angles that the flow no longer separates from the walls.
- the flow separates from the wall at an opening angle of approximately ⁇ / 17 and becomes turbulent.
- Common diffusers in catalyst arrangements have typical opening angles of ⁇ 2 ⁇ / 3, so that the
- the separation angle must be determined empirically, but one according to the invention can be used
- Catalyst body If desired, even an uneven distribution of the flow, which may still be present, can even be counteracted by different opening angles of the inner and outer channels of the flow guiding body, or a desired non-uniform distribution can be targeted
- Distribution over the end face of the catalyst body can be achieved.
- the open cross-sectional areas of the individual channels of the flow guide body on the upstream side for example, approximately the same size as the open cross-sectional areas of the channels of the catalyst body.
- the open cross-sectional areas can even be chosen to be considerably larger there.
- the flow guide body and the catalyst body are to be separated by an intermediate space which swirls the exhaust gas between the flow guide body and catalyst body allows. This increases the turbulence when entering the catalyst body and thus the
- the opening angle of the individual channels should be smaller than the angle at which the flow separates from the walls. This measure optimizes the pressure losses caused by the flow guide body.
- Opening angle of the individual channels of the flow guide body can also be chosen so that turbulence is present, for example at the end of the channels, as a result of which better mixing of the exhaust gas is achieved.
- This configuration has particular advantages if, as mentioned below, the flow guide body is also coated with catalytically active material.
- a very decisive advantage of the invention results in the configurations according to claims 10 and 11.
- the total catalytically active surface available with unchanged volume is considerably increased.
- the volume required for the diffuser and possibly also the confuser can thus also be used for the attachment of catalytically active surfaces.
- the flow control function of the flow guide body is not impaired by this. Rather, the flow guide bodies also become catalyst bodies in addition to the actual catalyst body, which results in additional advantages. It has been shown in experiments that metallic catalyst carrier bodies with a small number of channels per cross-sectional area show better starting behavior than catalysts with a larger number of channels per cross-sectional area. These catalysts reach a high conversion rate more quickly on cold start, which is of considerable importance.
- a flow guide body coated with catalytically active material is now connected upstream of the actual catalyst body, this can likewise significantly improve the starting properties.
- the catalytic reaction in the flow guide body begins earlier than that in the actual catalyst body.
- the reaction in the actual catalyst body may even be ignited earlier, since the exothermic reaction in the flow guide body accelerates the cold start in the actual catalyst body.
- the flow guide body can also be coated with a catalytically active material other than the actual catalyst body, for example with a material which in particular improves the cold start properties.
- this embodiment also does not apply in the same way to a catalytic coating of a flow guide body in the confuser, although a catalytically active coating also makes better use of the available volume there.
- claim 12 describes a particularly preferred method for producing a flow guide body according to the invention, as will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing.
- FIG. 1 shows a typical catalyst arrangement with flow guide bodies according to the invention
- Figure 2 shows a catalyst arrangement with only one Flow guide in the diffuser
- Figure 3 is a slotted, corrugated sheet, such as
- FIG. 4 schematically shows a straightened position on the end face of a flow guide body
- FIG. 5 schematically and straightens a position on the outflow side of the flow guide body
- FIG. 6 schematically shows a straightened position on the end face of a flow guide body produced differently
- FIG. 7 schematically shows a straightened position on the outflow side of a flow guide body according to the invention in the central region
- Figure 8 schematically shows a straightened position in the outer area of the
- FIG. 9 schematically shows the construction of flow guide bodies from individual prefabricated frustoconical channel modules
- Figure 10 shows schematically the structure of a flow guide body from individual prefabricated channels with a rectangular cross-section
- Figure 11 schematically shows the structure of a flow guide body of nested, concentrically arranged
- Truncated cones with increasing opening angle Truncated cones with increasing opening angle.
- FIG. 1 shows a catalyst arrangement with an inlet tube 1, an outlet tube 2, a customary honeycomb-shaped catalyst body 3, a flow guide body 4 in the diffuser and a flow guide body 5 in the confuser. Mixing gaps 6, 7 are provided between the flow guide bodies 4, 5 and the catalyst body 3.
- FIG. 2 shows a catalyst arrangement consisting of an inlet pipe 21, an outlet pipe 22, a catalyst body 23 and a flow guide 24 in the diffuser, which is separated from the catalyst body 23 by a mixing column 26.
- This figure indicates the structure of the catalyst body from parallel channels and the structure of the flow guide body from widening in the direction of flow Channels with a room opening angle ⁇ . Basically, it is favorable if the flow guide body begins exactly at the end of the inlet pipe 21, but it may be necessary for manufacturing or fluidic reasons that the end face of the flow guide body is only slightly inside the diffuser.
- the schematic cross sections through catalyst arrangements shown apply equally to cylindrical or conical arrangements as well as to flattened shapes.
- FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 serve to illustrate how a flow guide body according to the invention can be produced from sheet metal, as is usually also used for metallic catalyst carrier bodies.
- An alternative is first illustrated in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5.
- the basic problem is that the overall conical flow guide body should not be created by compressing one end face, because then the ratio of open cross-sectional areas to cross-sectional areas closed by material would be very unfavorable on this end face, which considerably increases the pressure loss.
- a corrugated sheet 31 is suitable for this, which. has slots 34 extending from its outflow side 33 along all or part of the troughs and / or peaks.
- Such a corrugated sheet 31 is first produced with as steep as possible flanks and a large amplitude.
- the slots 34 are then made. Now the corrugated sheet metal on its upstream side 32 can be pulled apart, as a result of which the slope and the amplitude are reduced. On the outflow side 33, the slotted sheet 34 is also pulled apart, and possibly further than on the inflow side 32.
- the slots 34 expand without the flanks or the amplitude changing. Wraps such a corrugated sheet 31 together with a smooth one
- Sheet 35 which, however, does not have to be straight but increasingly curved, spirally on, possibly with increasing spreading of the slots 34, so a desired flow guide body with channels 36 is formed, which one in
- Figures 4 and 5 indicate the resulting cross-sectional shape on the
- the flow guide body essentially consists of a corrugated plate 71 with a large amplitude and a corrugated plate 72 with the same wavelength and a smaller amplitude.
- These sheets are wound spirally, however, a narrow, smooth intermediate layer 73 is also wrapped on the outflow side, as a result of which the two corrugations cannot interlock there, resulting in a much faster growing end face than on the inflow side.
- the smooth intermediate layer is not a straight one.
- Sheet metal strip but must have an increasing curvature, but in the case of a narrow sheet metal strip this can generally be achieved by plastic deformation.
- the resulting flow guide body shows on its front side a typical constellation of corrugated sheets lying one inside the other, as shown in FIG. 6 and on the outflow side in the inner region a constellation as in FIG. 7 and in the outer region a constellation as shown in FIG.
- FIGS. 9 and 10 show schematically how flow guide bodies according to the invention can be constructed from individually prefabricated frustoconical channel modules 91 or from rectangular channel modules 101. Other channel cross sections are of course possible, but in addition the individual modules can also comprise entire rows of channels, not individual ones.
- FIG. 11 shows a further possibility of arranging a flow guide body according to the invention from nested, concentrically arranged truncated cone surfaces 111 with increasing opening angle. Such surfaces can be kept at the desired distances, for example by webs, corrugated intermediate layers or the like.
- the exemplary embodiments mentioned here show only a few of many possibilities for the production of flow guide bodies according to the invention, wherein, of course, considerable variants in the sheet metal structures are possible in accordance with other known catalyst arrangements. In general, it will be advantageous to solder the sheets to one another, but other joining techniques such as gluing, welding and sintering can also be used.
- the flow guide body according to the invention can also have a jacket tube, as is usually the case with a catalyst body
- Catalyst system then forms the confuser or is used in such.
Abstract
Un agencement catalyseur, notamment pour moteurs à combustion interne, comprend un diffuseur qui s'élargit dans le sens de l'écoulement, en amont d'un corps catalyseur (23) en nid d'abeille, un convergeur (25) qui se rétrécit dans le sens de l'écoulement en aval du corps catalyseur (23) et au moins un corps de guidage de l'écoulement installé dans le diffuseur et/ou dans le convergeur. Afin d'assurer un afflux uniforme de la face frontale du corps catalyseur (23) sans étrangler trop fortement le courant de gaz d'échappement, on installe au moins dans le diffuseur un corps de guidage de l'écoulement (24) formé d'une pluralité de canaux adjacents et/ou concentriques qui présentent au moins en partie une section transversale croissante dans le sens de l'écoulement. Les canaux individuels présentent de préférence un angle d'ouverture alpha qui empêche un décollage de courant des parois des canaux individuels. Le corps de guidage de l'écoulement peut en outre être enduit d'une couche d'un matériau catalyseur actif, ce qui permet d'utiliser le volume du diffuseur, éventuellement du convergeur lui aussi, pour agencer des surfaces actives de catalyse, et d'améliorer entre autres, outre l'afflux du corps catalyseur principal (23), les propriétés de démarrage à froid de l'agencement catalyseur.A catalyst arrangement, in particular for internal combustion engines, comprises a diffuser which widens in the direction of flow, upstream of a honeycomb catalyst body (23), a convergent (25) which narrows in the direction of flow downstream of the catalyst body (23) and at least one flow guide body installed in the diffuser and / or in the converger. In order to ensure a uniform inflow of the front face of the catalyst body (23) without excessively throttling the flow of exhaust gas, at least one flow guide body (24) is formed in the diffuser. a plurality of adjacent and / or concentric channels which at least partly have an increasing cross section in the direction of flow. The individual channels preferably have an alpha opening angle which prevents current takeoff from the walls of the individual channels. The flow guide body can also be coated with a layer of active catalyst material, which makes it possible to use the volume of the diffuser, possibly also of the converger, to arrange active catalysis surfaces, and to improve inter alia, in addition to the inflow of the main catalyst body (23), the cold start properties of the catalyst arrangement.
