Description

  • The present invention relates a substrate having corrugated sheet(s) and channel(s) for treating exhaust gases of combustion engines. The present invention also relates to methods for manufacturing said substrate having said open channel(s).
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • For the treatment of exhaust gases of combustion engines substrates having open or closed channels or combinations of those is used. In open channels the exhaust gas is directly flowing through the substrate. In substrate having closed channels exhaust gas is forced to flow through walls, e.g. through ceramic or metallic porous walls. In open channels the reduction of gaseous impurities is often high but the reduction of impurity particles is low, e.g. from 10 to 15%. In closed channels/wall flow filters the reduction of gaseous impurities is high and also the reduction of impurity particles is high, e.g. from 70 to 99%. The problem in closed channels is the clogging of walls. Closed channels/wall flow filters will gradually wholly clog if they are not cleaned. Pressure loss will also increase. One way to keep the channels open is to clean them continuously or periodically.
    • DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
  • A substrate that efficiently reduces particles and gas impurities of exhaust gas in open channels has now been invented. Accordingly a method for manufacturing said substrate has also been invented.
  • For this purpose, the invention is characterized in facts presented in the independent claims. Some preferable embodiments of the invention are disclosed in other claims.
  • Constructional embodiments of the invention are not limited in any way. According to an embodiment of the invention, the catalyst of the invention can be present in several structures assembled parallel or in series with respect to the flow direction or cascade with POC/DPF-structure/substrates.
  • According to an embodiment of the invention the substrate comprises corrugated sheet(s) having depressions connected to flat wire mesh sheet(s) and between said flat wire mesh sheet and said corrugated sheet there are at least partially channel(s) for exhaust gas flow and the depth of depression is 0.05-0.5 mm smaller than the height of the corrugation.
  • It has been surprisingly discovered that the reduction of particles flowing in open channels is essentially improved. Also the reduction of impurity gases in at least partially open channels is improved.
  • Preferably the depth of the depression is 0.5-1.5 mm and the height of the corrugation is 1.0-3.0 mm. This combination is very effective both in reduction of particles and in the reduction of impurity gases. The depressions can be e.g. 10-40 mm, such as 20-30 mm, from each other.
  • Exhaust gas can freely flow through partially open channels but on the surfaces of sheet the gas flow rate is reduced due to irregular surface of wire mesh sheet(s) and due to depressions of sheets. These irregular surfaces and depressions also mix the gas thus minimizing standard deviation of gas retention time. The surfaces of wire mesh sheet(s) also act as an effect open particle trap for exhaust gas particles. This combination adds contacts of impurity of gases and particles thus adding retention time and reduction of impurities and particles. Impurity particles are more often attached to mesh sheet compared to smooth sheet. Especially heavy and large particles are attached on the surfaces of wire mesh sheet(s).
  • The reduction of particles is very much depending on the particle source and composition of particles. Particles can include various amount Volatile Organic Compounds (VOF's), solid carbon, sulphur, water and metal oxides. A standard oxidation catalyst can oxidize majority VOF's and reduce this way 10 to 60% of particle mass. With the new invention it is possible to improve particle reduction even up to 80%. With the new invention it is possible to improve reduction of gas impurities >90%.
  • An important character of new partially open channel is that it is not clogging at all or the clogging is minimal compared to closed channels or filters, which will gradually wholly clog if they are not cleaned. This is very important and the substrate having at least partially open channels according to the invention can be used in most demanding conditions and they are useful in many applications.
  • The particles attached to the surfaces of at least partially open channel(s) break down to gaseous impurities, which further decompose to harmless compounds. Part of gas can flow through openings of mesh sheet(s) and particles attach on surfaces of sheet(s). Also this leads to better reduction of particles. On the other hand partially open channels do not clog or the clogging is minimal and pressure loss and flow rate of gas are not reduced near the sheet(s). This reduces failure in operation thus adding efficiency of the partially open channel.
  • The shape of openings of mesh sheet(s) can vary. It can be canal-like, square-like, diamond-like or hole-like. E.g. in diamond-like mesh sheet the wires can be at one level or they can be crosswise.
  • Pressure difference between sides of the mesh sheet(s) adds flowing of exhaust gas through pores of the mesh sheet. This phenomenon leads to attachments of particles on support and better reduction of particles from exhaust gas.
  • According to an embodiment of the invention said corrugated sheet is a corrugated wire mesh sheet. This adds contacts of impurity gases and particles thus adding retention time and reduction of impurities. This leads to better reduction values of impurity particles of exhaust gas. Collision of gas also leads to better contact of gas with catalytically active material thus improving reduction of gaseous impurities and adding retention time of particles in said substrate.
  • Preferably, there are open channels with both sizes of said mesh sheet. The structure of wire mesh sheet is simply, they are easy to manufacture and the reduction of particles is high compared e.g. smooth sheet used in open channels.
  • According to an embodiment of the invention said flat wire mesh sheet has depressions. Also this adds reduction of impurity gases particles by reducing flow rate of impurity gases and adding attachment of particles on support.
  • According to an embodiment of the invention depressions of the corrugated sheet have been matched to the depressions of the flat wire mesh sheet. This leads to better strength of the substrate because its locking layers to each other.
  • According to an embodiment of the invention the median opening size of mesh sheet is from 0.01 to 0.5 mm, preferably from 0.05 to 0.3 mm, such as from 0.08 to 0.2 mm.
  • According to an embodiment of the invention the mesh diameter is 0.08-0.24 mm. The mesh diameter is preferably 0.1-0.15 mm. Then the mechanical strength is high and pressure loss of gas flow is low.
  • According to an embodiment of the invention mesh number of the mesh sheet is from 30 to 300. At least part of exhaust gas can flow through the openings of mesh sheets. This leads to attachment of particles of exhaust gas to the surfaces of support giving essentially better reduction of particles.
  • According to an embodiment of the invention said flat wire mesh sheet and said corrugated sheet have been attached to each other by welding/brazing. This leads to better strength of the substrate.
  • According to an embodiment of the invention said sheet(s) have been at least partially covered by support and/or catalytic material. Preferable median pore size of said support is over 5 nm, preferably from 10 to 50 nm, such as from 15 to 20 nm. Optimal pore size of the support also depends on exhaust gases and circumstances of gas flow near mesh sheet(s). Exhaust gases can have e.g. median particle size from 5 to 200 nm and median pore size can e.g. be from 5 to 20 nm.
  • Preferable support comprises coarse particles and/or fibres, which are projecting out from the plane of said support. Preferably the support has the median particle size over 0.4 μm, such as from 1.5 to 3.5 μm. This essentially adds the adhesion of particles thus improving the reduction of particles in said substrate
  • According to an embodiment of the invention sheet(s) has (have) been essentially covered with a support having the median particle size over 1.4 μm and/or having pores over 10 nm. This also improves reduction of impurity particles by adding attachment of particles to sheets.
  • Particles of exhaust gas of combustion engines can be efficiently treated with substrate having mesh sheet(s) partially open channels according to the invention. The reduction of impurity particles is surprisingly high compared to traditional substrates. Also the reduction of gaseous impurities is high. The mesh sheet(s) according to the invention does not clog or the clogging is minimal so that it does not have effect s on flowing rate of exhaust gas in substrate. Also pressure loss in substrate is minimal.
  • The substrate can e.g. be a particle oxidation catalyst (POC) or SCR catalyst. It can also be a hydrolysis catalyst. The substrate can be preferably used to purify impurity particles of exhaust gases of combustion engines. The structure of substrate can vary. It can be e.g. wound or stacked or folded.
    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • Now some embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the appended drawings.
  • FIG. 1 shows a substrate having corrugated sheet having depressions and a flat wire mesh sheet.
  • In FIG. 1 substrate 1 comprises corrugated smooth sheets 3 having depressions 3 d and flat wire mesh sheets 2 having depressions 2 d. These sheets are connected to each other and between said sheets 2, 3 there are partially open channels POC for exhaust gas EG flow.
