Definitions

  • the invention relates to an exhaust gas aftertreatment unit with a honeycomb structure and connecting means.
  • honeycomb bodies have a multiplicity of cavities which can be flowed through or flowed through by a fluid, such as channels, for example, and can be formed as a ceramic monolith or as a metallic slxuk-ur.
  • honeycomb body is constructed from a multiplicity of alternately arranged smooth and corrugated or differently corrugated sheets, the sheets initially forming one or more stacks which are intertwined with one another. The ends of all sheets come to the outside and can be connected to a housing or casing tube which creates numerous connections that increase the durability of the honeycomb body. Typical examples of these designs are described in EP 0 245 737 B1 or WO 90/03220.
  • honeycomb bodies in a conical design, possibly also with additional structures for influencing the flow.
  • honeycomb body is described, for example, in WO 97/49905.
  • honeycomb bodies are often used in an exhaust line, wherein they have two end faces and the exhaust gas flows into the honeycomb body through one end face and out of the honeycomb body through the other end face. If there is very little space available for the installation of the honeycomb body, but if it is to be installed close to the engine at the same time, it is expedient to use a honeycomb body in which the exhaust gas flows both into and out of the honeycomb body through a single end face. Here, two separate flow areas are thus formed within the honeycomb body.
  • a honeycomb body with two concentric flow areas for use in multi-line exhaust systems, in which exhaust gas flows through the areas in the same direction, that is, alternately in the same flow direction, is known, for example, from US Pat. No. 6,156,278.
  • the present invention is based on the object of specifying an easy-to-produce exhaust gas aftertreatment unit which is inexpensive to produce and has good durability under alternating thermal loads, but can nevertheless be arranged in a space-saving manner under unfavorable spatial conditions.
  • An exhaust gas aftertreatment unit has a first end face, a second end face and a honeycomb structure, which extends between the first and the second end face, and through which exhaust gas can flow, in a jacket tube.
  • Connection means are connected at least almost sealingly to the first end face, through which the exhaust gas can flow into a forward flow area of the honeycomb structure, whereby it can flow back through a reverse flow area behind the second end face after deflection by flow conversion means.
  • Such an exhaust gas aftertreatment unit can advantageously be used in small available spaces.
  • the exhaust gas to be treated flows both into and out of the honeycomb structure through the first end face.
  • the connection means are designed such that the inflow region and the backflow region are arranged concentrically or eccentrically.
  • the inflow area can be inside or outside.
  • the flow area is preferably inside. If it is desired to achieve a lower temperature in the return flow area than in the forward flow area, e.g. B. because the backflow area with an adsorber or Storage material is coated, the flow inverting agent should not be thermally insulated. Otherwise, thermal insulation is an advantage.
  • the first end face can preferably have an essentially homogeneous structure, so that in particular essentially regular inflow openings are formed as access to the cavities of the honeycomb structure, but no additional reinforced partition walls pass through the honeycomb structure. It is therefore possible to dispense with additional reinforced partition walls or separating means, such as, for example, a tube separating the two regions, so that the honeycomb structure can be formed inexpensively.
  • additional reinforced partition walls or separating means such as, for example, a tube separating the two regions, so that the honeycomb structure can be formed inexpensively.
  • a conventional honeycomb structure made of ceramic or metal can thus be used in the construction of the exhaust gas aftertreatment unit according to the invention. Homogeneous does not necessarily mean that all channels have the same shape and / or size.
  • an essentially standardized honeycomb structure can be used; in particular, there is no need to form an inner tube separating the outflow and the backflow region, which enables the exhaust gas aftertreatment unit to be produced in a cost-effective and simple manner.
  • the back and forth flow areas are separated from each other by walls of the cavities of the honeycomb structure, as specified by the connection means.
  • An at least almost sealing connection of the connection means to the first end face of the honeycomb structure is achieved in that, for example, the first end face has a slot, the spatial extent of which is selected in accordance with the spatial extent of the connection means.
  • connection means By protruding the connection means into the slot in the form of a labyrinth seal in the end face of the honeycomb structure, the seal of the partition to the honeycomb body is advantageously increased even in the case of alternating thermal loads, without the honeycomb structure being damaged in the event of relative expansion of the connection means.
  • Smaller leaks which can be based, for example, on the connection means cutting a cavity wall at an angle, i.e. exhaust gas flowing in small quantities into the actual backflow area instead of into the outflow area, are irrelevant due to the pressure and flow conditions in the honeycomb structure.
  • the first end face has a slot into which the connection means protrude in an almost sealing manner, preferably with the formation of a sliding seat.
  • a sliding seat enables the exhaust gas aftertreatment unit to be designed in such a way that a different thermal expansion behavior of the components, in particular the honeycomb structure, does not damage the exhaust gas aftertreatment unit. Due to the design of the sliding seat, on the one hand no forces are applied to the connection means by the honeycomb structure and on the other hand no forces are introduced by the connection means into the honeycomb structure.
  • connection means are pressed into the first end face.
  • connection means lie essentially on the first end face. This represents a further advantageous possibility for the connection between the connection means and the first end face, which is simple and inexpensive to design.
  • a first sealing means is formed between the connection means and the first end face.
  • the first sealing means is advantageously designed to be resistant to high temperatures and corrosion, for example in the form of a sealing ring which lies sealingly between the edge of the connecting means and the first st-surface.
  • connection means are designed as a conically widening tube.
  • connection means as a conically widening tube enables the construction of an inventive device in a simple manner
  • connection means are carried out centrally
  • the discharge means are used to discharge the exhaust gas flowing through the return flow region and can be essentially dome-shaped in cross section, the discharge means at one point having to enable the discharge of the exhaust gas from the exhaust gas aftertreatment unit, for example by forming a flange for
  • the honeycomb structure is made of ceramic material.
  • the construction of metallic material is also possible.
  • the honeycomb structure is constructed by winding up at least one metallic layer, which is at least partially st-ictured, or a plurality of metallic layers, at least some of which is at least partially strictured, or that the honeycomb structure is constructed by stacking and Devouring several metallic layers, at least some of which is at least partially structured, is built together.
  • a metallic layer in the sense of this connection means, in addition to a sheet metal layer, a combination of a sheet metal layer with a material through which a fluid can flow at least partially, and a layer made of a material through which a fluid can flow at least partially.
  • Such layers can be combined with one another in any way to build up a honeycomb structure.
  • honeycomb-shaped honeycomb structures and also to build honeycomb bodies by engaging several stacks, for example in an S-shape, or engaging three stacks in the same direction.
  • the structure of structured metallic layers with a repeat length which corresponds to the wavelength, for example in the case of corrugated metallic layers, and essentially smooth metallic layers leads to the formation of channels or cavities between the structures and the smooth sheets.
  • Exhaust gas aftertreatment units have holes formed in at least some of the metallic layers in at least some of the areas which form the walls of the cavities of the forward flow area and / or the return flow area, the extent of which is in particular greater than the structural repetition length of the -ix minimum partially metallic layers.
  • the holes can be formed both in the substantially smooth and in the textured metallic layers. As a result, cavities can form which lead to swirling of the exhaust gas, which advantageously leads to an improved conversion rate.
  • the formation of holes reduces the manufacturing costs of the honeycomb structure, especially when coating the honeycomb structure.
  • Exhaust gas aftertreatment unit at least some of the metallic layers in at least some of the areas that form the walls of the cavities of the forward flow area and / or the backflow area are made of a material that is at least partially permeable to a fluid.
  • a particle filter is said to be open if it can basically be traversed completely by particles, including particles that are considerably larger than the particles that are actually to be filtered out. As a result, such a filter cannot become blocked even during agglomeration of particles during operation.
  • a suitable method for measuring the openness of a particle filter is, for example, testing the diameter up to which spherical particles can still flow through such a filter.
  • a filter is particularly open when balls with a diameter greater than or equal to 0.1 mm can still trickle through, preferably balls with a diameter above 0.2 mm.
  • the particles When flowing through this material, the particles accumulate in the wall, the flow through the wall being promoted by the formation of pressure differences in front of and behind the wall. These pressure differences are caused and / or delayed by the formation of inversions and / or flow guide surfaces in the metallic layers which are not formed from an at least partially permeable material for a fluid, the inversions and / or flow guide surfaces only in the Areas of the metallic layer are formed which later form the walls of the cavities in the outward and / or in the return flow area.
  • the essentially smooth metallic layers and / or the at least partially structured metallic layers can be at least partially formed from the material that is at least partially permeable to a fluid.
  • the design of an exhaust gas aftertreatment unit according to the invention as a particle filter advantageously enables the construction of space-saving particle filters.
  • an exhaust gas aftertreatment unit at least in some of the metallic layers in at least some of the areas that form the walls of the cavities of the forward flow area and / or the return flow area, inside out, holes with an extent that are smaller than the striations. Repeat length of the at least partially structured metal layers, flow guide surfaces and / or microstructures is formed.
  • An inversion represents a hole with protrusions, the dimensions of the hole being smaller than the structural repeat length of the structures of the at least partially structured metallic layers.
  • the protuberance forms a flow guide surface.
  • the interaction of holes and flow guiding surfaces form transverse flow components which lead to a swirling of the flow and to a flow between adjacent cavities.
  • the swirling of the flow advantageously prevents the formation of laminar limit flows and thus leads to an increased conversion rate.
  • Mitoostnik-uren which have a structure height that is significantly smaller than the structure height of the at least partially structured metallic layers, also serve the same purpose.
  • Inverted pieces, holes, flow guide surfaces and microtost-n-acids can be formed both on or in the essentially smooth, and on or in the at least partially st- ⁇ -structured metallic layers.
  • the inside out, flow guide surfaces and microstructures can be formed at any angle to the main flow direction of the exhaust gas in the honeycomb structure.
  • Exhaust gas aftertreatment unit is coated, preferably catalytically actively coated, at least in part of the metallic layers at least in part of the regions which form the walls of the cavities of the forward flow region and / or the backflow region.
  • the invention it is possible to coat both the areas that form the walls of the cavities of the forward flow area and the areas that form the walls of the return flow area, at least in part of the metallic layers, in particular catalytically actively. It is thus possible to form back and forth flow areas, both of which are coated with a catalytically active coating. It is just as well possible to provide the walls of the cavities of the downstream flow region with an oxidation catalyst coating and to form the walls of the cavities of the return flow region from material which is at least partially permeable to a fluid, in order to thus obtain a compact combination of a oxidation catalyst and particle filter. That in

  • the flow direction is the flow direction in which the flow area can be flowed through
  • the return flow direction is the flow direction in which the flow area can be flowed through.
  • Inhomogeneous here means in particular that the coating of the walls of the outflow and / or the backflow region changes in each case in the direction of flow.

  • different types of coatings can be formed.
  • the physical and / or chemical effects mentioned above, which are triggered on, in and / or on the coating, can in addition to the coating itself also be caused by particles embedded in the coating.
  • partial areas can be formed which catalyze chemical reactions, for example by embedded noble metal catalysts, which adsorb one or more components of the exhaust gas at least temporarily and desorb at other times, for example at different temperatures, and the like.
  • honeycomb structure it is particularly advantageous to design the honeycomb structure as a whole with two coatings up to an interface. This can be done in particular by immersing the honeycomb structure after its production from one end face in a bath with a first coating agent, then pulling it out and immersing it in a bath with a second coating agent from the other end face.
  • the exhaust gas first flows through an area with the first coating, then still in the outflow area through an area with the second coating. After deflection in the flow inverting means, the exhaust gas flows in the backflow region first through an area with the second coating and then through an area with the first coating.
