Definitions

• the invention relates to a cement, in particular a grouting cement for joining a plurality of filtering blocks of a filtering body, provided in particular for the filtration of exhaust gas particles of an internal combustion engine. a motor vehicle, and in particular a cement intended to form a peripheral coating of the lateral surface of such a filter body.
• the invention also relates to a filter body comprising a plurality of filter blocks secured by means of a seal interposed between said filter blocks and shaped so as to oppose the passage of said exhaust gases between said filter blocks, in which the seal is obtained from a cement or a mortar according to the invention.
• a particle filter 1 is shown in FIG. 1 in cross-section along the section plane B-B shown in FIG. 2, and in FIG. 2 in longitudinal section along the sectional plane A-A shown in FIG.
• the particulate filter 1 conventionally comprises at least one filter body 3, of length L, inserted into a metal casing 5.
• the filter body 3 may be monolithic. To improve its thermomechanical resistance, in particular during the regeneration phases, however, it has proved advantageous that it results from the assembly and machining of a plurality of blocks 1 1, referenced 1 1 a-1 1 i.
• a ceramic material cordierite, silicon carbide, etc.
• the extruded porous structure conventionally has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped extending between two upstream faces 12 and downstream 13 substantially square on which open a plurality of channels 14 adjacent, rectilinear, and parallel.
• the extruded porous structures are alternately plugged on the upstream face 12 or on the downstream face 13 by upstream and downstream 15s plugs
• the inlet 14e and exit 14s channels thus define interior spaces 20e and 20s delimited by a side wall 22e and 22s, a closure cap 15e and 15s, and an opening 19s or 19e opening outwards, respectively .
• Two input channels 14e and 14s adjacent output are in fluid communication by the common part of their side walls 22e and 22s.
• the blocks 11a-1 1i are assembled together by bonding by means of seals 27 ceramic cement generally made of silica and / or silicon carbide and / or aluminum nitride.
• the assembly thus formed can then be machined to take, for example, a round section.
• a peripheral coating 27 ' also called “coating” is also applied so as to cover substantially the entire lateral surface of the filter body. This results in a cylindrical filter body 3 of longitudinal axis CC, which can be inserted into the casing 5, an exhaust gas-tight peripheral seal 28 being arranged between the outer filter blocks 11a-11h, or, where appropriate, the coating 27 ', and the casing 5.
• the flow F of the exhaust gases enters the filter body 3 through the openings 19e of the inlet channels 14e, passes through the filtering side walls of these channels to join the channels exit 14s, then escapes to the outside through the openings 19s.
• the particles, or "soot”, accumulated in the channels of the filter body 3 increase the pressure drop due to the filter body 3 and thus impair the performance of the engine. For this reason, the filter body must be regenerated regularly, for example every 500 kilometers. Regeneration, or "declogging”, consists of oxidizing the soot. To do this, it is necessary to heat them to a temperature that allows them to ignite.
