Description
- This application is a continuation of PCT/JP2004/012744, filed on May 6, 2005.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to an exhaust gas purification apparatus for an engine (referred to hereunder as “exhaust gas purification apparatus”), which reduces the nitrogen oxide (NOx) in the exhaust gas using a liquid reducing agent. In particular, it relates to technology for suppressing clogging in the injection nozzle and its associated piping.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- As an exhaust gas purification system for purifying NOx contained in engine exhaust gas, the exhaust gas purification apparatus disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-27627 has been proposed.
- In such an exhaust gas purification apparatus, NOx is purified into harmless constituents by arranging a reduction catalytic converter in the engine exhaust system, and a reducing agent is injection-supplied into the exhaust gas at an upstream side of the reduction catalytic converter, to thereby cause a catalytic reduction reaction between the reducing agent and NOx in the exhaust gas. The reducing agent is of liquid state at the room temperature and is stored in a storage tank, and a necessary amount depending on engine operating conditions, is injection-supplied from an injection nozzle. Here, as the reducing agent, a liquid reducing agent such as a urea aqueous solution, an ammonia aqueous solution, or diesel oil whose main constituent is hydrocarbons, is used.
- However, depending on the engine operating conditions, the amount of NOx in the exhaust gas is sometimes small, and NOx purification by a reduction catalytic converter is not necessary. Therefore, in view of avoiding unnecessary consumption of the liquid reducing agent, a construction in which the liquid reducing agent is injection-supplied into the exhaust gas at an upstream side of the reduction catalytic converter intermittently depending on the engine operating conditions is adopted. In the case where such a construction is adopted, after the injection-supply of the liquid reducing agent stops, there is concern that the liquid reducing agent solidifies inside the injection nozzle and its associated piping causing them to be clogged, and the liquid reducing agent can no longer be injection-supplied. That is, immediately after the injection-supply of the liquid reducing agent is stopped, liquid drops of the liquid reducing agent are attached to the inside of the injection nozzle and its associated piping. Then, the temperatures of the injection nozzle and its associated piping increase due to the exhaust heat, since they are directly exposed to the high temperature exhaust gas, and the water content from the liquid reducing agent evaporates and the reducing agent constituents are deposited. When the injection nozzle and its associated piping become clogged and are unable to injection-supply the liquid reducing agent, NOx purification by the reduction catalytic converter can no longer be expected, and hence exhaust gas having a large amount of NOx must be emitted into the atmosphere.
- Therefore, the present invention takes the above-described existing problems into consideration, with an object of providing an exhaust gas purification apparatus in which clogging is suppressed by reducing the volume unrelated to injection-supply of a liquid reducing agent, or by applying a water repellency treatment to at least one of the injection nozzle and its associated piping.
- In accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention, an exhaust gas purification apparatus of an engine is provided, which comprises: a reduction catalytic converter arranged in an engine exhaust system, for reducing and purifying nitrogen oxide by a liquid reducing agent; a reducing agent supply device that controls a flow rate of a liquid reducing agent supplied to the reduction catalytic converter, depending on engine operating conditions; an injection nozzle that is secured to the exhaust system via a flange, for injection-supplying the liquid reducing agent into exhaust gas at a position upstream of the reduction catalytic converter; and piping that provides a fluid communication between the reducing agent supply device and the injection nozzle, the exhaust gas purification apparatus being provided with such a configuration that the piping is constructed from a material made of ceramics.
- In this case, cooling fins may be disposed in rows on the flange, or a coolant may be flowed through the flange. Moreover, an insulating material gasket may be interposed between the exhaust system and the flange.
- In accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention, an exhaust gas purification apparatus of an engine is provided, which comprises: a reduction catalytic converter arranged in an engine exhaust system, for reducing and purifying nitrogen oxide by a liquid reducing agent; a reducing agent supply device that controls a flow rate of a liquid reducing agent that is supplied to the reduction catalytic converter, depending on engine operating conditions; an injection nozzle that injection-supplies the liquid reducing agent into exhaust gas at a position upstream of the reduction catalytic converter; and piping that provides a fluid communication between the reducing agent supply device and the injection nozzle, the exhaust gas purification apparatus is provided with such a configuration that a water repellency treatment is applied to an inner wall of at least one of the injection nozzle and the piping.
- In this case, a fluorocarbon resin treatment or an organic plating treatment can be applied as the water repellency treatment. Moreover, the piping may be arranged to have an axis thereof extending in a substantially vertical direction, and the injection nozzle can be connected to a lower end of the piping.
- According to the exhaust gas purification apparatus of the first embodiment of the present invention, NOx contained in the engine exhaust gas is reduced and purified in the reduction catalytic converter, by using the liquid reducing agent supplied and controlled by the reducing agent supply device. In this case, because the piping that provides a fluid communication between the reducing agent supply device and the injection nozzle is constructed from a material made of ceramics, its coefficient of thermal conductivity, which is a thermal characteristic, is small. Therefore the transmission of heat of the exhaust system to the reducing agent supply device is suppressed. Thus, even if the reducing agent supply device is positioned close to the exhaust system, an increase in its temperature in use is prevented, and a predetermined environment of its usage can be fulfilled. Moreover, as a result of enabling the reducing agent supply device to be positioned close to the exhaust system, the length of the piping can be shorter, and the volume unrelated to the injection-supply of the liquid reducing agent can be decreased, so that the liquid reducing agent attached to the inner walls of the piping and the injection nozzle immediately after the stopping injection-supply of the liquid reducing agent is reduced. Therefore, even if the water content evaporates from the liquid reducing agent due to the exhaust heat, and the reducing agent constituents are deposited, the absolute amount thereof becomes too small to cause clogging of the piping and the injection nozzle.
- On the other hand, after restarting injection-supply of the liquid reducing agent, the liquid reducing agent flows vigorously through the piping and the injection nozzle, and hence the reducing agent constituents that have solidified on the inner walls are dissolved and discharged into the exhaust system. Therefore, even if the injection-supply of the liquid reducing agent is performed intermittently, there is no longer a gradual deposition of the constituents of the liquid reducing agent on the inner walls of the piping and the injection nozzle, so that occurrence of clogging is fully suppressed. Therefore the necessary NOx purification efficiency can be maintained for a long time.
- According to the exhaust gas purification apparatus of the second embodiment of the present invention, NOx contained in the engine exhaust gas is reduced and purified in the reduction catalytic converter by using the liquid reducing agent supplied by the reducing agent supply device. In this case, because the water repellency treatment is applied to the inner wall of at least one of the injection nozzle and the piping, when the injection-supply of the liquid reducing agent stops, the remaining liquid reducing agent therein drops downward, and the amount of urea aqueous solution held on the inner wall thereof decreases. Therefore, even if the water content evaporates from the liquid reducing agent due to the exhaust heat, and the reducing agent constituents are deposited, the absolute amount thereof becomes too small to cause clogging of the piping and the injection nozzle.

Therefore the necessary NOx purification efficiency can be maintained for a long time.

FIG. 1 shows the basic construction of an exhaust gas purification apparatus to which the present invention is applied. - The exhaust gas of an
engine 10 is discharged into the atmosphere from anexhaust gas manifold 12 via anexhaust pipe 16, in which a NOx reductioncatalytic converter 14 is arranged. In particular, in theexhaust pipe 16, in order from the exhaust gas upstream side are respectively arranged; an oxidation catalytic converter for nitrogen monoxide (NO), a NOx reduction catalytic converter, and an ammonia oxidation catalytic converter, and before and after these are arranged a thermal sensor and an oxygen sensor and the like, to thereby construct the exhaust system, whose detail is not shown in the figures. - To the exhaust gas upstream of the NOx reduction
catalytic converter 14, a liquid reducing agent together with air is injection-supplied from a reducingagent supply device 18 viapiping 20 and aninjection nozzle 22. That is, as shown inFIG. 2 , aflange 24 to which theinjection nozzle 22 is attached, is fastened bybolts 26 to theexhaust pipe 16, which is located on an upstream side of the exhaust gas flow from the NOx reductioncatalytic converter 14, so as to cover anopening portion 16A opened in the peripheral wall of theexhaust pipe 16. In the description hereunder, a urea aqueous solution is used as the liquid reducing agent, however an ammonia aqueous solution, or diesel oil whose main constituent is hydrocarbons may alternatively be used. Here the urea aqueous solution is a solution in which solid or powder urea is dissolved, and it is supplied to the reducingagent supply device 18 from a storage tank (not shown). - The urea aqueous solution that is injection-supplied to the exhaust gas flow at an upstream position of the NOx reduction
catalytic converter 14 is hydrolyzed due to the exhaust heat and the steam in the exhaust gas, and ammonia is easily produced. It is well known that the produced ammonia reacts with NOx in the exhaust gas, in the NOx reductioncatalytic converter 14, and is purified into water and harmless gas. - Moreover, a
control unit 28 incorporating therein a built-in computer is provided so as to control the amount of injection-supply of the urea aqueous solution, depending on engine operating conditions. Thecontrol unit 28 controls the reducingagent supply device 18 depending on the engine rotating speed and the fuel injection amount input via a CAN (Controller Area Network). - According to the exhaust gas purification apparatus of the first embodiment of the present invention, the reducing
agent supply device 18 and theinjection nozzle 22 are in fluid communication with one another by means of thepiping 20 made of ceramics. - According to such a construction, since the reducing
agent supply device 18 and theinjection nozzle 22 are connected to have a fluid communication therebetween via thepiping 20 made of ceramics, its coefficient of thermal conductivity, which is a thermal characteristic, is small. Therefore, the transmission of heat of theexhaust pipe 16 to the reducingagent supply device 18 is appreciably suppressed and restricted. Therefore, even if the reducingagent supply device 18 is positioned close to theexhaust pipe 16, a temperature rise during the usage of the reducingagent supply device 18 is fully suppressed, and a predetermined environmental condition in use can be fulfilled. Moreover, as a result of enabling the reducingagent supply device 18 to be positioned close to theexhaust pipe 16, the length of thepiping 20 can be shorter, and the pipe volume unrelated to the injection-supply of the urea aqueous solution can be reduced with certainty. Therefore, the urea aqueous solution attached to the inner walls of the piping 20 and theinjection nozzle 22 immediately after stopping injection-supply of the urea aqueous solution is reduced. Therefore, even if the water content evaporates from the urea aqueous solution due to the exhaust heat, and the urea is deposited on the inner walls, the absolute amount thereof becomes too small to cause clogging of the piping 20 and theinjection nozzle 22. - On the other hand, when the engine operating conditions change and the injection-supply of the urea aqueous solution is restarted, the urea aqueous solution and air flows vigorously through the piping 20 and the
injection nozzle 22, and hence the urea that has solidified on the inner walls is dissolved and discharged into theexhaust pipe 16. Therefore, even if the injection-supply of the urea aqueous solution is intermittently performed, there is no longer a gradual deposition of the urea on the inner walls of the piping 20 and theinjection nozzle 22, and the injection-supply of the urea aqueous solution depending on the engine operating conditions is realized. Therefore, the necessary NOx purification efficiency can be maintained for a long time. - Moreover, in order to further reduce the heat quantity transmitted from the
exhaust pipe 16 to the reducingagent supply device 18, as shownFIG. 3 , an air cooling structure in which coolingfins 30 that are made of a material having good thermal conductivity such as copper are disposed in rows on theflange 24 that covers theopening portion 16A opened in the peripheral wall of theexhaust pipe 16, may be adopted. Moreover, as shown inFIG. 4 , a water cooling structure in which a cooling water passage is formed inside theflange 24, and engine cooling water or the like is passed therethrough as a coolant, may be adopted. Both of the air cooling structure and the water cooling structure in theflange 24 may be adopted. - By adopting such a cooling structure, the exhaust heat transmitted from the
exhaust pipe 16 to theflange 24 is dissipated by radiation by means of the coolingfins 30, or is heat exchanged with the cooling water, thus reducing the heat quantity that is transmitted to thepiping 20. Therefore, the temperature in use of the reducingagent supply device 18 is reduced, and hence it becomes possible to position the reducingagent supply device 18 closer to theexhaust pipe 16, and the piping volume that is unrelated to the injection-supply of the urea aqueous solution is further reduced. Moreover, since the absolute amount of the urea aqueous solution that is attached to the inner walls of the piping 20 and theinjection nozzle 22 is further reduced, the clogging thereof can be effectively prevented. - Furthermore, instead of the air cooling structure or the water cooling structure, an insulating material gasket can be interposed between the opening
portion 16A of theexhaust pipe 16 and theflange 24. By such a structure, transmission of the heat of theexhaust pipe 16 to theflange 24 is suppressed, and a similar effect to the above effects can be achieved. Moreover, in particular, in addition to the air cooling structure and/or the water cooling structure, by interposing the insulating material gasket between the openingportion 16A and theflange 24, the heat quantity transmitted from theexhaust pipe 16 to the reducingagent supply device 18 is effectively reduced, and the reducingagent supply device 18 can be positioned even closer to theexhaust pipe 16. -
FIG. 5 shows the structure of an exhaust gas purification apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention. - According to the present embodiment, as a prerequisite for the basic structure of the exhaust gas purification apparatus shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2 , as shownFIG. 5 , awater repellent layer 32 is formed by a fluorocarbon resin treatment or an organic plating treatment, as a water repellent treatment on the inner walls of the piping 20 and theinjection nozzle 22. - According to such a structure, since the water repellent treatment is applied to the inner walls of the piping 20 and the
injection nozzle 22, when the injection-supply of the urea aqueous solution stops, the urea aqueous solution remaining inside thereof drops downward, reducing the urea aqueous solution attached to the inner walls of the piping 20 and theinjection nozzle 22. Therefore, even if the water content evaporates from the urea aqueous solution due to the exhaust heat, and the urea is deposited on the inner walls, its absolute amount becomes too small to cause clogging of the piping 20 and theinjection nozzle 22. - On the other hand, when the engine operating conditions change and the injection-supply of the urea aqueous solution is restarted, the urea aqueous solution and air flows vigorously through the piping 20 and the
injection nozzle 22, and hence the urea that has solidified on the inner walls is dissolved and discharged into theexhaust pipe 16. Therefore, even if the injection-supply of the urea aqueous solution is intermittently performed, there is no longer a gradual build up of the urea on the inner walls of the piping 20 and theinjection nozzle 22, and the injection-supply of the urea aqueous solution depending on the engine operating conditions is possible. Therefore the necessary NOx purification efficiency can be maintained over a long term. - Moreover, if the fluorocarbon resin treatment is applied as the water repellent treatment, a decrease in the water repellent efficiency can be suppressed, even when the piping 20 and the
injection nozzle 22 are heated by the exhaust heat. On the other hand, by applying the organic plating treatment as the water repellent treatment, the water repellent efficiency of the piping 20 and theinjection nozzle 22 is improved, and also thewater repellent layer 32 is kept from coming off from the inner walls. - Moreover, it is preferable that the axis of the piping 20 is extended in a substantially vertical direction, and the
injection nozzle 22 is connected to the lower end thereof. By such a structure, when the injection-supply of the urea aqueous solution stops, the urea aqueous solution inside the piping 20 drops vertically downward under gravity, and is discharged to theexhaust pipe 16 from the injection hole of theinjection nozzle 22. Therefore, the amount of the urea aqueous solution attached to the inner wall of the piping 20 is further reduced, and even if the water content evaporates from the urea aqueous solution due to the exhaust heat, and the urea is deposited by precipitation, since its absolute amount is small, clogging of the piping 20 is further suppressed. - In the present embodiment, the water repellent treatment is applied to both the
piping 20 and theinjection nozzle 22. However the water repellent treatment may be applied to only the one of them that is vulnerable to clogging. Also, if the water repellent treatment is applied to the inner wall of the piping 20, on only a particular area that can be heated to a temperature at which the urea aqueous solution can solidify, the clogging thereof can be suppressed. - As described above, in the exhaust gas purification apparatus according to the present invention, even if when the injection-supply of the liquid reducing agent stops, the water content evaporates from the liquid reducing agent remaining in the injection nozzle and its piping, and the reducing agent constituents are deposited, its absolute amount is too small to cause clogging of the piping and the injection nozzle, and hence this is extremely advantageous.
