Definitions

  • the invention relates to an exhaust gas guide or an exhaust device with at least two supply lines for connection to an internal combustion engine and a wall.
  • the exhaust gas guide serves as part of an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine for conducting and possibly for the catalytic treatment and purification of exhaust gas.
  • the internal combustion engine may be, for example, a gasoline engine of a passenger car or other road motor vehicle.
  • US 5,351,483 discloses exhaust manifolds with an exhaust manifold, muffler and catalytic converter.
  • the exhaust manifold and catalyst have a common wall with an outer shell, an inner shell and a layer of insulating material disposed between these shells.
  • the inner shell is directly adjacent to the exhaust passages of the supply lines of the exhaust manifold. These passages open into an expansion chamber.
  • the interior of the expansion chamber is connected through holes in a perforated diffusion plate to a space region adjacent to the catalyst body.
  • the inner shell is very hot by the contact with the exhaust gas, so that despite the insulating material layer much heat is released into the environment of the exhaust gas guide and large temperature differences between the inner and the outer shell arise. These temperature differences, in turn, cause large thermal stresses which are likely to cause the joints to somehow interconnect the shells in addition to those in operation as well Heavy vibrations occur occurring vibrations, whereby the durability of the exhaust element is impaired.
  • EP 0 928 885 A2 published July 14, 1999, discloses exhaust gas guide elements having an exhaust manifold and a catalyst.
  • the exhaust manifold has several supply lines, outer walls and for each supply line in the cross-section of the outer walls enclosed inner line.
  • the exhaust element has two single-layer metallic shells, each of which forms in cross section approximately half of the outer walls of the exhaust manifold and catalyst wall. Between the single-layer, metallic shells and most of the likewise single-layer, metallic inner lines of the supply lines there is an intermediate space containing air and / or exhaust gas.
  • an intermediate layer of a heat-insulating and deformable material is present in the catalyst, between the wall forming portions of the shells and the catalyst body.
  • the inner leads of the supply lines protect the outer walls of the exhaust manifold when using the Abgasleitelements against direct contact with the very hot, supplied from the engine exhaust.
  • the air and / or exhaust gas containing spaces between the inner pipes and formed by the two shells, outer walls of the exhaust manifold also reduce the heat conduction between the inner pipes and the outer walls. Between the inner pipes and the outer walls, however, can still be a heat transfer by convection and - because of the high temperature of the exhaust gas and the inner pipes - done mainly by radiation, so that the outer walls are still pretty hot. Accordingly, the exhaust element still gives off a relatively large amount of heat to the surroundings adjacent to the exhaust gas guide element and in particular to its exhaust manifold.
  • FR 2 238 585 A discloses a composite material which consists of a glass fiber fabric arranged between two sheets and in particular serves to form silencer casings. To produce such a two plates of the composite material are formed into half-shells and then joined together at edges. FR 2 238 585 A does not disclose exhaust manifolds. Furthermore, the glass fiber fabric is apparently only quite thin and also has only a low compressive strength. However, to convert a flat composite plate to a relatively small radii of curvature having exhaust manifold large compressive forces must be exerted on the plate, whereby the glass fiber fabric would be compressed very strong. The thickness of the glass fiber fabric in the finished exhaust manifold according to experiments carried out would probably be at most about 20% to 35% of the original thickness and only less than about 1 mm. As a result, the heat output of an exhaust manifold could be reduced only insufficient.
  • the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a Abgasleitelement for conducting and possibly catalytic treatment of exhaust gas, the disadvantages of known exhaust elements and / or exhaust devices with an exhaust manifold and / or catalyst with at least two leads corrects and gives good thermal insulation, but still can be inexpensively manufactured and installed and takes up little space.
  • the invention further relates to a method for producing an exhaust gas guide element, wherein the method according to the invention has the features of claim 11.
  • each wall element layer of heat-insulating material gives a good thermal insulation. This ensures that the heat supplied from the exhaust gas largely in the exhaust gas and / or remains in the interior of the exhaust element or the exhaust device. The remaining heat in the exhaust gas is transported by this and derived at least to a large extent together with the exhaust gas into the environment.
  • Each outer shell of the exhaust gas guide element or the exhaust gas device is therefore heated during operation only to a relatively low temperature.
  • the exhaust gas guide gives little heat to its surroundings. Accordingly, it is also not necessary to protect heat-sensitive parts or spaces located in the vicinity of the exhaust-gas guide element by heat shields against the heat emitted by the exhaust-gas guide element or otherwise emitted.
  • this has the supply lines forming the exhaust manifold and another downstream of this arranged, together with this unit forming a catalyst with catalyst means for the catalytic treatment of exhaust gas.
  • the two wall elements of the exhaust manifold can then, for example, in cross-section also completely enclose an interior of the catalyst and in particular the catalyst means.
  • two additional wall elements can be provided for the catalyst, each having two metallic shells and a layer arranged between them heat insulating material.
  • the two additional wall elements can then completely enclose the catalyst means together in cross-section and, for example, be directly, directly, rigidly and tightly connected to the wall elements belonging to the exhaust manifold.
  • the wall elements are preferably so fixed and substantially rigid and substantially rigidly and at least approximately or fully sealed together that they are self-supporting and together form a self-supporting part of the wall. At least a substantial part of the wall of the exhaust gas guide element can then consist exclusively of the interconnected wall elements.
  • the wall then has to be provided, for example, at the most at the entrance and / or at the exit of the exhaust gas guide element with connecting and / or connecting means in order to connect the exhaust gas guide element to the internal combustion engine and to a part of the exhaust gas system arranged downstream of the exhaust gas guide element.
  • the connecting and / or connecting means may comprise, for example, a common connection flange for all supply lines or at least two connection flanges which are assigned to different supply lines.
  • the wall elements can then form the outermost boundary of the exhaust gas guide element at least for the greater part of the wall.
  • the wall elements can be designed and connected to each other so that they take up little space.
  • the shells are for example about 0.5 mm to 1 mm thick.
  • the heat-insulating layer is preferably generally at most 10 mm, preferably substantially at least 2 mm, and for example at least approximately 3 mm to at most 5 mm thick in the finished exhaust-gas guide element.
  • the temperatures of the outer shells of the wall elements then amount to, for example, at most about 50% of the measured from 0 ° C temperature of the exhaust gas and / or temperatures on the outer surface of a simple metallic wall with otherwise the same design of the exhaust element or the exhaust device would result.
  • the thermally insulating material is preferably inorganic, non-combustible and heat-resistant at least up to the operating temperature of the Abgasleitselements and the temperature of the exhaust gas, for example up to at least 800 ° C.
  • Each insulating material layer consists for example of a coherent, reasonably firm, in particular also quite pressure-resistant, microporous plate and / or films.
  • microporous is meant that the layer or plate has pores with sizes of about 1 ⁇ m or a few but less than 10 ⁇ m or less than 1 ⁇ m.
  • Each heat-insulating layer is formed, for example, from an originally particulate material, which consisted at least for the most part of grains and possibly still had fibers and was solidified by pressing and by a thermal treatment and / or a chemical reaction. Each such layer therefore has, for example, more or less firmly adhering grains and possibly still reinforcing fibers.
  • the fiber content is, for example, at most about 10% by weight, so that the layer or plate has at least a large part and, for example, for the most part, a granular structure.
  • the insulating material and in particular its granular components consist, for example, essentially of oxidic substances.
  • the insulating material contains, for example, silica and / or at least one silicate and / or oxide ceramic, namely preferably at least 50% by weight highly dispersed silicic acid.
  • the fibers consist for example of a mineral and / or oxide-ceramic material.
  • Such microporous insulating materials are described, for example, in EP 0 029 227 A and corresponding US 4 985 163 A and available, for example, under the trade name WACKER WDS from Wacker-Chemie GmbH, Kunststoff, Federal Republic of Germany.
  • two original flat sheet metal parts can be made into shells for the or each wall element transformed and connected together.
  • the two sheet metal parts serving to form a pair of shells can be deformed in pairs, at least during a large part of the forming process, together with a layer of heat-insulating material arranged between them. This allows an economical production of the wall.
  • the forming can be done for example by deep drawing. During forming, a considerable compressive force is exerted on the sheet metal parts or shells and the layer of heat-insulating material arranged between them. The heat-insulating layer is compressed. For example, if the heat-insulating material consists of a pre-consolidated microporous sheet or foil, the thickness of the heat-insulating layer during forming is reduced to less than 50%, usually about 20% to 40%. The thickness of the layer must therefore be relatively smaller prior to forming than the finished exhaust element.
  • each heat-insulating layer instead of a microporous plate or film at least for the most part of a fiber material, for example, a single-layer or multi-layer fabric.
  • the fibers may for example consist of oxide ceramic and / or rock wool, basalt wool, glass wool and / or any other mineral material.
  • fiber material is significantly more compressed during forming than a preconsolidated, microporous plate or film, such that the thickness during forming decreases, for example, from about 65% to 80%.
