  • the system disclosed in the reference No. 59-155523 requires two catalytic reactions for removal of particulate matter on the filter, Specifically, the system requires reforming of diesel fuel in the reforming catalyst and oxidation of hydrocarbons in the oxidation catalysts of the filter, which prevents efficient removal of particulate matter from the filter.

  • an exhaust gas purifying system removes particulate matter from exhaust gas from an engine through an exhaust passage.
  • the system includes a filter, a reforming catalyst and an injector.

  • FIG. 1 shows an exhaust gas purifying system according to the first embodiment.
  • a diesel engine 1 includes a cylinder head 1A connected to an intake manifold 2 and an exhaust manifold 3.
  • the intake manifold 2 introduces air into the diesel engine 1, and the exhaust manifold 3 emits exhaust gas out of the diesel engine 1.
  • the exhaust manifold 3 is connected to an exhaust pipe 4 as an exhaust passage. Exhaust gas of the diesel engine 1 flows through the exhaust manifold 3 and the exhaust pipe 4, as indicated by arrow A in Fig. 1 .
  • the exhaust pipe 4 is connected to a reformer 7 accommodating therein a filter 5 and a reforming catalyst 6 and supplied with diesel fuel from an injector 8.

  • the reforming catalyst 6 reforms diesel fuel used as a fuel of the diesel engine 1.
  • the injector 8 is connected to a diesel fuel tank (not shown In drawings) through a fuel passage 9 and extends into the reformer 7, thereby injecting diesel fuel into the reformer 7.
  • the reformer 7 is a hollow cylindrical case made of a metal and having tapered longitudinal ends connected to the exhaust pipe 4.
  • the reformer 7 has therein a partition wall 7A as a heat transfer member.
  • the partition wall 7A is a hollow cylindrical member made of a metal such as stainless steel and accommodates therein the cylindrical filter 5 so that an outer peripheral surface 5A of the filter 5 is in contact with an inner peripheral surface 7B of the partition wall 7A. That is, the partition wall 7A is in surface contact with the filter 5.
  • the filter 5 is a wall-flow filter having a honeycomb structure formed of a porous ceramic such as cordierite and removes PM from exhaust gas flowing downstream therethrough.
  • the filter 5, the reforming catalyst 6, the reformer 7, the partition wall 7A and the injector 8 are components of the exhaust gas purifying system.
  • the reforming catalyst 6 has a hollow cylindrical shape and disposed outside the partition wall 7A in the reformer 7.
  • An inner peripheral surface 6A of the reforming catalyst 6 is in contact with an outer peripheral surface 7C of the partition wall 7A, and an outer peripheral surface 6B of the reforming catalyst 6 is in contact with an inner peripheral surface 7D of the reformer 7. That is, the partition wall 7A is in surface contact with the reforming catalyst 6.
  • the injector 8 extends into the reformer 7 through an outer peripheral surface 7G and the inner peripheral surface 7D of the reformer 7.
  • the injector 8 is disposed at such a position that allows diesel fuel to be injected upstream of the reforming catalyst 6 in the reformer 7.
  • the reforming catalyst 6 is, for example, a rhodium (Rh) containing catalyst, where diesel fuel is reacted with oxygen (O 2 ) and water vapor (H 2 O) in exhaust gas, thereby reforming the diesel fuel so as to produce carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H 2 ), and hydrocarbon (HC).
  • This reforming of diesel fuel in the reforming catalyst 6 occurs through exothermic reaction at a temperature of about 700 to 800 degrees Celsius. That is, the reforming catalyst 6 produces the heat of reaction at a temperature of about 700 to 800 degrees Celsius by reforming diesel fuel.
  • the filter 5 is disposed inside the reforming catalyst 6.
  • the filter 5 is surrounded along the entire circumference thereof by the reforming catalyst 6, and the partition wall 7A is in directly contact with the filter 5 and the reforming catalyst 6, as shown in Fig. 3 . Therefore, the heat of reaction generated when the reforming catalyst 6 reforms diesel fuel is transferred efficiently to the filter 5 via the partition wall 7A.
  • the partition wall 7A has at the upstream end thereof an opening 7E formed between the outer peripheral surface 7C and the inner peripheral surface 7D and extending circumferentially.
  • the partition wall 7A also has at the downstream end an opening 7F formed between the outer peripheral surface 7C and the inner peripheral surface 7D and extending circumferentially.
  • the exhaust gas introduced from the exhaust pipe 4 into the reformer 7 flows mostly in the space surrounded by the partition wall 7A and passes through the filter 5 out of the reformer 7.
  • the rest of the exhaust gas flows through the opening 7E into the space formed between the outer peripheral surface 7C and the inner peripheral surface 7D, passes through the reforming catalyst 6, and then flows through the opening 7F out of the reformer 7 while joining the exhaust gas passing through the filter 5.
  • the filter 5 and the reforming catalyst 6 are disposed parallel to each other, and the partition wall 7A is in directly contact with the filter 5 and the reforming catalyst 6 to transfer the heat therebetween in the reformer 7. That is, the filter 5 and the reforming catalyst 6 are in indirectly contact with each other, and are in physically contact with each other. Since the thermal conductivity of a solid or the partition wall 7A is larger than that of a gas, the heat of reaction generated at the reforming catalyst 6 is efficiently transferred to the filter 5 via the partition wall 7A.
  • a part of the exhaust gas introduced into the reformer 7 is branched through the opening 7E and passes through the reforming catalyst 6 provided at the space between the outer peripheral surface 7C and the inner peripheral surface 7D in the reformer 7.
  • the reformer 7 is connected at the downstream side thereof to a NOx storage reduction (NSR) catalyst 10, and the NOx storage reduction catalyst 10 is connected at the downstream side thereof to a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst 11.
  • NSR NOx storage reduction
  • SCR selective catalytic reduction
  • the NSR catalyst 10 contains therein alkaline earth metals like barium (Ba) as a storage material.
  • the NSR catalyst 10 In lean exhaust gas, that is, in an oxidizing atmosphere with high oxygen concentration wherein the injector 8 injects no diesel fuel, the NSR catalyst 10 temporarily stores nitrogen oxides (hereinafter referred to as NOx) in the exhaust gas, In rich exhaust gas, that is, in a reducing atmosphere with low oxygen concentration wherein the injector 8 injects diesel fuel, the NSR catalyst 10 releases the stored NOx for reduction to nitrogen (N 2 ) and produces ammonia (NH 3 ), Specifically, NSR catalyst 10 reduces the stored NOx to nitrogen by using carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and hydrocarbon produced by the reforming catalyst 6 as the reducing agent. In the SCR catalyst 11, the remaining NOx in the exhaust gas is reacted with ammonia produced by the NSR catalyst 10, thereby being reduced to nitrogen.
  • NOx nitrogen oxides
  • exhaust gas of the diesel engine 1 flows through the exhaust manifold 3 and the exhaust pipe 4 into the reformer 7.
  • the exhaust gas flows mostly in the space surrounded by the partition wall 7A (see Fig. 2 ) and passes through the filter 5 out of the reformer 7, so that PM in the exhaust gas is collected by the filter 5.
  • the rest of the exhaust gas flows through the opening 7E into the space between the outer peripheral surface 7C and the inner peripheral surface 7D.
  • the exhaust gas then passes through the reforming catalyst 6, but reforming reaction in the reforming catalyst 6 does not occur because the injector 8 injects no diesel fuel into the reformer 7. After passing through the reforming catalyst 6, the exhaust gas flows through the opening 7F out of the reformer 7.
  • the exhaust gas emitted from the reformer 7 passes through the NSR catalyst 10 and the SCR catalyst 11. Since the injector 8 injects no diesel fuel into the reformer 7, the exhaust gas from the reformer 7 is in the oxidizing atmosphere. Therefore, the NSR catalyst 10 stores NOx in the exhaust gas but produces no ammonia, and no reaction occurs in the SCR catalyst 11. As described above, in the lean condition, PM in exhaust gas is collected by the filter 5, and NOx in the exhaust gas is stored on the NSR catalyst 10. Therefore, exhaust gas emitted out of the system contains neither PM nor NOx.
  • the injector 8 injects diesel fuel into the reformer 7.
  • the injector 8 injects diesel fuel into the reformer 7 thereby to supply diesel fuel to the reforming catalyst 6.
  • the diesel fuel is reacted with oxygen in exhaust gas introduced through the opening 7E into the space between the outer peripheral surface 7C and the inner peripheral surface 7D, thereby being reformed so as to produce carbon monoxide.
  • This reforming of diesel fuel in the reforming catalyst 6 occurs through exothermic reaction at a temperature of about 700 to 800 degrees Celsius.
  • the partition wall 7A is in directly contact with the filter 5 and the reforming catalyst 6, the heat of reaction generated at the reforming catalyst 6 is efficiently transferred to the filter 5 through the contact, thereby heating the filter 5.
  • the filter 5 is heated to the PM combustion temperature, the accumulated PM on the filter 5 is burned off, and the filter 5 is regenerated. That is, the heat of reaction generated at the reforming catalyst 6 is used for heating the PM on the filter 5.
  • the exhaust gas from the reformer 7 then passes through the NSR catalyst 10.
  • the NSR catalyst 10 releases the NOx previously stored in the oxidizing atmosphere for reduction to nitrogen and produces ammonia, Specifically, NSR catalyst 10 reduces the stored NOx to nitrogen by using carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and hydrocarbon serving as reducing agent produced by the reforming catalyst 6, and produces ammonia.
  • NOx remaining in the exhaust gas that is not reduced in the NSR catalyst 10 is reacted with ammonia produced by the NSR catalyst 10, thereby being reduced to nitrogen.
  • the partition wall 7A being in directly contact with the filter 5 and the reforming catalyst 6 is provided in the reformer 7, the heat of reaction generated at the reforming catalyst 6 is efficiently transferred to the filter 5 via the partition wall 7A. Therefore, the filter 5 is heated to the PM combustion temperature without using any heating means other than the heat of reaction at the reforming catalyst 6, and the accumulated PM is efficiently removed from the filter 5. Additionally, the heat of reaction at the reforming catalyst 6 is efficiently transferred to the filter 5 because the filter 5 is surrounded along the entire circumference thereof by the reforming catalyst 6. Therefore, the filter 5 is heated to the PM combustion temperature, and the accumulated PM is removed from the filter 5 more efficiently than heretofore.

  • a hollow cylindrical reforming catalyst 16 is disposed in the space formed between an outer peripheral surface 15B of the filter 15 and an inner peripheral surface 17C of the reformer 17.
  • An inner peripheral surface 16A of the reforming catalyst 16 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface 15B, and an outer peripheral surface 16B of the reforming catalyst 16 is in contact with the inner peripheral surface 17C. That is, the reforming catalyst 16 is in surface contact with the filter 15.

  • the filter 15 since the filter 15 is in directly contact with the reforming catalyst 16, the heat of reaction generated at the reforming catalyst 16 is directly transferred to the filter 15. That is, the heat of reaction generated at the reforming catalyst 16 is used for heating the PM on the filter 15. Therefore, the filter 15 is heated to the PM combustion temperature without using any heating means other than the heat of reaction at the reforming catalyst 16, and the accumulated PM is efficiently removed from the filter 15, as with the first embodiment.
  • Fig. 5 shows a reformer 27 according to the third embodiment,
