Abstract

PURPOSE:To ensure the ignition of carbon-state fine particles and eliminate inconveniences due to the excessive deposit of said particles by supplying combustion air having oxygen density higher than exhaust gas to an ignition device for burning the particles stagnating on an exhaust gas filter. CONSTITUTION:The exhaust gas passage of a diesel engine is fitted with an exhaust gas filter device 1. And a filter case 4 is fitted with an exhaust gas filter 2 via a cushion material 3, and an ignitor 5 is positioned close to a filter inlet 11, thereby forming an ignition part. In the aforesaid constitution, an air supply passage 6 is provided around the ignitor 5 and fitted with a blower 7 and an oxygen enrichment device 8. And when soots in exhaust gases 12 arrested by the exhaust gas filter 2 are fired with the ignitor 5 and burnt, air of high oxygen density is supplied from the oxygen enrichment device 8 to the ignitor 5 via the blower 7, thereby ensuring the ignition and combustion of soots.

A diesel exhaust gas filter made of a ceramic monolith filter has, for example, a honeycomb structure made of a large number of cells made of cell walls formed by an extrusion method using cordierite as a main component. The upstream and downstream cell ends of the structure are alternately plugged with a very inert material, such as cement. These upstream and downstream closures divide the cell into inlet and outlet exhaust gas passages. As a result, almost all of the soot in the exhaust gas is collected on the cell walls before being released. As soot accumulates, the pressure loss of the exhaust gas increases in the diesel exhaust gas filter, leading to a decrease in engine performance. Therefore, in order to maintain good engine performance, a method is used to regenerate the diesel exhaust gas filter by burning the soot once a certain amount of soot has accumulated.

However, at the inlet end of the diesel exhaust gas filter,
Since it is less effective as a filter, there is less soot in the closed area. For this reason, sufficient combustion heat is not generated in the blocked part,
Combustion does not spread downstream of the cell. When this phenomenon is repeated, the amount of deposition within the cell increases. After a certain amount of soot accumulates inside the cell, once the soot in the cell is ignited, combustion occurs rapidly and the temperature of the diesel exhaust gas filter rises, causing problems such as melting of the diesel exhaust gas filter and This caused problems such as excessive build-up of exhaust gas, resulting in large exhaust gas pressure loss and engine malfunction.

As soot accumulates on the exhaust gas filter, the pressure upstream of the exhaust gas filter increases. This pressure is detected by the pressure sensor 16, and the igniter 6 is activated to ignite the soot. A ceramic heater is used as the igniter. Diesel engine exhaust gas contains oxygen, but the oxygen concentration varies depending on engine speed and load. It is about 17% when idling and can drop to 2-3% at high speeds. Therefore, there are cases where the igniter does not ignite even if the igniter ignites the igniter. Therefore, in the present invention, air having a higher oxygen concentration than the exhaust gas is supplied to the ignition section to help ignite the soot.

When an electric current is applied to the igniter to heat it, air is sent through the gas supply path. At this time, the pressure on the upstream side of the exhaust gas filter is 10
OmmHq is often exceeded, and for this reason, a blower 7 or a blower pump with a high supply pressure is used. An oxygen enrichment device 8 is installed upstream of the blower 7, and can supply gas with an oxygen concentration higher than the atmospheric oxygen concentration of 21%. An oxygen enrichment membrane is used in the oxygen enrichment device, and in order to obtain a high concentration of oxygen, a blower or a blower pump that can obtain a higher pressure is required. without using an oxygen enrichment device,
