Definitions

  • the present invention relates to apparatus for regenerating a NOx trap and the regeneration of a particle filter and a NOx trap in a single operation.
  • the invention is also related to a method for the regeneration of a NOx trap and a method for regenerating a particle filter and a NOx trap in a single operation.
  • the invention further relates to the use of the apparatus and the methods with a compression ignition engine, i.e. what is often called a diesel engine.
  • the cold flame is a phenomenon which has so far not received to much attention.
  • a cold flame the fuel is partially oxidized in preheated air and the temperature is kept constant at about 450° C., and it is independent of air/fuel ratio and residence time.
  • the cold flame process only 2-20% of the calorific value of the fuel is released, and this heat is used to evaporate the fuel, giving a homogenous gaseous fuel.
  • the gas was able to remove carbon deposits from the reactor walls. The reason for this has not been established yet, but is thought to be due to free radicals that are present in the cold flame gas, i.e. the partially oxidized, gaseous fuel.
  • Exhaust from compression ignition engines (often imprecisely called diesel engines), which operate on excess air, contains mainly particulates, NOx and incomplete combustion products (HC and CO). Particulates can be removed using a filter downstream from the engine. After a while, the filter will be blocked and need to be regenerated. This is done by increasing the temperature in the exhaust gas to above 600° C. under oxidizing conditions and thereby burning away the carbon deposits. In order to allow for continuous operation, it is common to have two filters in parallel and a valve which sends the majority of the exhaust to one of the filters while the other is being regenerated.
  • Incomplete combustion products can be removed by an oxidation catalyst.
  • NOx on the other hand, can only be removed catalytically if the exhaust gas is slightly reducing (as in an Otto engine). This is not normally the case in a compression ignition engine. Since the regenerating of the particle requires an oxidizing environment while the regenerating of the NOx trap requires a slightly reducing environment, there has not been available a method for regenerating the particle filter and the NOx trap in a single operation.
  • One way to reduce NOx emissions in a diesel engine is to recirculate some of the exhaust back into the engine (EGR).
  • An NOx absorbent can be made from barium carbonate. During absorption, the absorbent is converted to barium nitrate and releases CO 2 at the same time. When the absorbent is saturated, it can be regenerated using CO in that the barium nitrate is converted back to barium carbonate and release N 2 gas.
  • a particle filter+an NOx absorber (NOx trap)+an oxidation catalyst is used for a complete treatment of the exhaust gas.
  • NOx trap an NOx absorber
  • the problem is, as already mentioned, that the particle filter has to be regenerated under high temperature (600° C.) in an oxidizing environment while the NOx absorber is regenerated at lower temperatures in a reducing environment (500° C. with CO gas). This means that two process operations are needed in order to clean both the particle filter and the NOx trap, as described in the American patent U.S. Pat. No. 6,955,042.
  • a further objective of the present invention has been to find a way to regenerate the particle filter and the NOx trap in a single operation.
  • an exhaust gas cleaning apparatus for the cleaning of exhaust gas flowing in an exhaust gas conduit.
  • the exhaust cleaning apparatus comprises at least one NOx trap arranged in the exhaust gas conduit such that the NOx trap at least partially removes NOx from the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust gas conduit.
  • the exhaust gas cleaning apparatus further comprises a cold flame vaporizer wherein fuel is partially oxidized in preheated air to form a cold flame gas.
  • the cold flame vaporizer is arranged in fluid communication with the exhaust gas conduit such that the cold flame gas can flow through the NOx trap in the exhaust gas conduit, thereby regenerating the NOx trap.
  • the cold flame vaporizer is a standard cold flame vaporizer in which the fuel can be partially oxidized in preheated air.
  • air and fuel is mixed in a proportion of typically 0,3-1,0 (1,0 is stoichiometric air/fuel ratio), but only a small fraction of the air is used in the cold flame reaction.
  • the exhaust gas conduit may be a pipe or similar of any cross sectional shape, or the exhaust gas conduit may be formed as internal conduits in a larger body.
  • the means for preheating the air may be a heat exchanger in which the heat of the exhaust gas warms up the air. It would also be possible to use other means for preheating the, for instance electrical heating means.
  • the cold flame vaporizer may be arranged outside the exhaust gas conduit and, if necessary, connected to the exhaust gas conduit with fluid lines. If the cold flame vaporizer is mounted to the exhaust gas conduit, then there may only be necessary to provide openings into the exhaust gas conduit, while if the cold flame vaporizer is arranged separate from the exhaust gas conduit, fluid lines will be provided connecting the cold flame vaporizer and the exhaust gas conduit.
  • the cold flame vaporizer can also be arranged inside the exhaust gas conduit. In that case, there is no need for fluid lines as the cold flame vaporizer may just release the cold flame gas into the exhaust gas conduit through openings including said valve means.
  • the exhaust gas cleaning apparatus further comprises valve means controlling the flow of cold flame gas from the cold flame vaporizer into the exhaust gas conduit.
  • the exhaust gas cleaning apparatus is further provided with one or more valve means which controls the flow of exhaust gas through the exhaust gas conduit.
  • the flow of exhaust gas can therefore at least partially be shut off
  • valve means may be controlled such that the NOx trap is regenerated, for instance, at specific time intervals, or when the pressure drop across NOx trap reaches a predetermined level indicating that the NOx trap needs to be regenerated.
  • the exhaust gas cleaning apparatus comprises a fuel supply which is arranged in fluid communication with the cold flame vaporizer.
  • the exhaust gas cleaning apparatus also comprises an air supply and means for preheating the air, the air supply being in fluid communication with the cold flame vaporizer.
  • the exhaust gas apparatus comprises one or more valve means controlling the flow of fuel and preheated air to said cold flame vaporizer.
  • an exhaust gas apparatus for the cleaning of exhaust gas, the exhaust gas apparatus comprising an exhaust conduit section which is formed with at least two separate flow paths. Each flow path is provided with a particle filter for the removal of particulate matter from the exhaust gas and an NOx trap for the removal of NOx from the exhaust gas.

  • the means for preheating the air may be a heat exchanger in which the heat of the exhaust gas warms up the air. It would also be possible to use other means for preheating the air, for instance electrical heating means.
  • the flow paths may be formed by providing the exhaust gas return conduit, at least along a part of its length, with one or more partitions such that two or more separate flow paths for the exhaust gas are formed in the exhaust conduit section. These partitions may be one or more plates dividing the exhaust gas return conduit in two or more flow paths. Alternatively, the flow paths may be formed by providing the exhaust gas return conduit with at least two separate conduits through which the exhaust gas can flow.

There is also provided fluid lines so that cold flame gas from the cold flame vaporizer 11 can flow through the two flow paths 34 , 35 .
  • Flow paths 34 , 35 are provided with valve means 32 , 33 which control the flow of exhaust gas through the two flow paths.
  • Valve means 17 control the flow of cold flame gas to through the two flow paths 34 , 35 .
  • Both flow paths are provided with a exhaust conduit section 10 comprising at least a particle filter 30 and a NOx trap 40 .
  • the exhaust conduit section 10 comprises an oxidation catalyst, but this is optional as mentioned above.
  • one of the flow paths 32 , 33 is closed for the flow of exhaust gas by valve means 32 , 33 and the one of valve means 17 opens such that cold flame gas from the cold flame vaporizer 11 is directed to and flows through the exhaust conduit section 10 which has been closed for the flow of exhaust gas.
  • the particle filter 30 and the NOx trap in one of the exhaust conduit sections 34 , 35 are regenerated by the cold flame gas in one operation.
  • FIGS. 3 b and 3 c are sections through the particle filters 30 and the NOx trap 40 respectively. As can be seen on the figure, the filters cover substantially the whole cross section as opposed to the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 a - 2 c.
  • FIG. 3 a - 3 c are provided with two flow paths 34 , 35 , but it would be possible to provide as many flow paths as is necessary for any given purpose.
