Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for treating flowing gases, and in particular flowing exhaust gases, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the invention is used in all fields of technology in which flowing gases have to be subjected to aftertreatment to reduce pollutants, for example in automotive engineering, in power plants or waste incineration plants or where gases are to be converted into new substances by plasma chemistry, such as in the production of ozone from oxygen.
  • the present invention is an advantageous further development of DE 195 18 970 C1.
  • Another disadvantage of the thickening is that the gas flow is severely hampered by the discharge gap, which is only a few millimeters in size and which the electrodes form.
  • the increased flow resistance is disadvantageous for all of the applications mentioned and, for example in internal combustion engines, can lead to a backflow of exhaust gases and thus to a deterioration in engine performance. For this reason, it is desirable to dimension the discharge gap as large as possible.
  • the increase in the electrode spacing required thereby increases the voltage amplitude generated by the voltage source.
  • the higher expenditure for insulation and voltage generators speaks against this.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome the disadvantages of DE 195 18 970 C1 and to provide an exhaust gas reactor in which the exhaust gas flows through the volume occupied by the gas discharge as completely as possible.
  • Another task is to reduce the flow resistance of the discharge gap. The reduction in the flow resistance should take place without increasing the discharge gap.
  • the openings are made so that the exhaust gas can flow through the opening.
  • flowing gas is exposed to the discharge filaments.
  • the volume occupied by the gas discharge is almost completely flowed through by the exhaust gas and the cleaning effect is improved.
  • the volume covered by the discharge filaments is approximately doubled, and the cleaning effect increases accordingly by approximately 100%.
  • the thickenings may be desirable to provide only a portion of the thickenings with openings if the flow behavior in the respective application requires this.
  • One or more openings are possible per thickening.
  • the width of the openings is dimensioned such that the discharge filaments also ignite reliably via the path extended by this width.
  • the invention can also serve to use smaller voltage amplitudes than in a reactor according to the prior art.
  • the discharge gap can be reduced to such an extent that the cross-sectional area through which the gas flows and which is formed by the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the discharge gap and openings remains the same. This is particularly advantageous for the exhaust gas cleaning of internal combustion engines, in which case can advantageously be used with smaller voltages, so that cheaper and more compact voltage sources can be selected.
  • FIG. 1 shows an exhaust gas reactor according to DE 195 18 970 C1 with two planar electrodes (1) and (2), the upper electrode (1) being covered with a dielectric (3).
  • the lower electrode (2) has thickenings (4).
  • the thickenings are shaped so that there are no sharp tips or edges to avoid the transition to a corona discharge.
  • the gas flows almost exclusively in the area above the thickenings (4). This area is located in Fig. 1 above the horizontal dashed line (5). In the volume below this dashed line, and thus behind the thickening, there is only a negligible gas flow.
  • discharge voltages (7) shown in dashed lines are formed when the high voltage U is applied to the electrodes.
  • Fig. 2 shows a detailed view of a single thickening in the exhaust gas reactor according to DE 195 18 970 C1.
  • the ignition voltage is lowered, so that there are also discharges which take place over a longer distance (8).
  • the dashed line (5) There is thus a volume V1, where there are discharge filaments, but there is no gas flow. The volume occupied by the gas discharge is therefore only incompletely flowed through by the exhaust gas.
  • Fig. 3a The solution according to the invention is shown in Fig. 3a.
  • this electrode is now in the vicinity of the discharge gap Provide openings (9), ie perforated.
  • the openings are made so that the exhaust gas can flow through the openings.
  • the openings were made in the thickening with a laser beam in such a way that the borehole axes run largely parallel to the direction of flow.
  • FIG. 3b shows the openings (9), in the present case three openings, in a detailed view looking in the direction of flow. Due to the solution according to the invention, the ignition field strength remains the same due to the unchanged distance from the thickening to the smooth counter electrode. The flow resistance decreases, however, since gas can now additionally flow through the openings or openings.
  • the width of the openings is dimensioned such that the discharge filaments also ignite reliably via the path extended by this width. This creates an optimal overlap between the flowing gas and the volume swept by the barrier discharge.
  • the webs (10) and (11) should be as narrow as possible in order to cause only a slight flow resistance.
  • the electrical current to the horizontal web (10) i.e. the thickening area above the openings (9), and from there across the filaments of the barrier discharge to the opposite dielectric.
  • the mutual distance between the vertical webs (11) must be such that the horizontal web (10) is not deformed, for example by thermal expansion.
  • 3c shows a side view (gas flow from left to right) of a thickening (4) which is at least partially oriented obliquely to the counterelectrode (buckled thickening).
  • the fires are initially ignited by the shortest route, ie in the discharge gap (6a) on the web. Due to the decreasing ignition voltage, the subsequent ignition takes place with a longer path below the opening (9) laterally offset in the flow direction, ie a further discharge gap (6b) is formed. Due to the lateral offset, the discharge has a larger dielectric surface, so that the gas discharge absorbs even more power per thickening can than with a thickening without a kink. Depending on the choice of openings, at least two discharge gaps are created.
  • the smooth electrode (1) consists of a tube with insulation (3) drawn with dots.
  • the insulation consists of quartz glass or an aluminum oxide ceramic.
  • the thickenings (4) on the electrode (2) are metallic disks with openings (9).
  • the gas flows parallel to the cylinder axis through the discharge gap (6) and through the openings (9).
  • narrow webs (11) are arranged between the individual openings in the disks.

Abstract

L'invention a pour objet un dispositif et un procédé pour le traitement de gaz en circulation, en particulier de gaz d'échappement, et constitue un perfectionnement avantageux de DE 195 18 970 C1. Le dispositif comprend au moins une paire d'électrodes plates disposées l'une vis-à-vis de l'autre, de façon qu'elles forment entre elles un espace de décharge parcouru par les gaz. Pour chaque paire d'électrodes, au moins une électrode est recouverte d'un diélectrique sur la face tournée vers l'espace de décharge. En outre, au moins une électrode présente une ou plusieurs zones dans lesquelles cette électrode présente un renflement orienté vers l'espace de décharge, cependant qu'il est prévu dans ce renflement, au moins un orifice à travers lequel les gaz peuvent s'écouler. Le domaine d'application préféré concerne l'épuration des gaz d'échappement des moteurs à combustion interne des véhicules, ainsi que des gaz d'échappement des centrales ou des usines d'incinération.
