Since the wire mesh portion 46 of the heated mesh device 44 is heated to a minimum predetermined temperature, for example at least 200 degrees Celsius, the urea solution 36 can continue to evaporate. Additionally, since the urea solution 36 does not contact the exhaust pipe assembly 12 , the pipe can be made of less expensive steel or other less-corrosion resistant materials.

- the distance between the injector 34 and the SCR catalyst 28 may be decreased.

Description
- Embodiments described herein relate to a system, method and device for evaporating liquid reductant injected into a gas stream. More specifically, embodiments described herein relate to a system, method and device for evaporating an emission reductant, such as urea, into an exhaust gas stream of an aftertreatment system of a vehicle, such as an SCR system.
- Diesel engine combustion results in the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust gas. Typically, urea selective catalytic reduction systems (urea SCR systems) are used to reduce NOx from engines. Urea SCR systems rely on injection of aqueous urea solution, which is injected into the exhaust line of a vehicle upstream of an SCR catalyst. In the SCR catalyst, the NOx is reduced by ammonia, and the emission from the catalyst is N2, H2O and CO2.
- For efficient performance, the emission reductant, for example urea for SCR systems, must be injected into the engine exhaust gas, evaporized and decomposed before reaching the inlet of the aftertreatment catalyst. The characteristic time of the evaporation of the reductant depends on the physical properties of the reductant, the injection characteristics, and the energy of the exhaust gas. The heat required for evaporating most reductants is high. For example, a urea solution is injected into the system at an ambient temperature and typically needs to be heated above 150° C. or 200° C. to evaporate the water and to decompose the remaining urea into ammonia and isocyanic acid.
- When the urea or other reductant is sprayed into the system, the exhaust gas velocity is high, and the exhaust gas stream carries the large droplets at a high velocity to the catalyst. As a result, the characteristic time of the reductant evaporation can be larger than the travel time to the catalyst. If the evaporation and the decomposition are not complete, the SCR catalyst performance is reduced due to insufficient availability of reductant.
- Additionally, if the urea solution is not evaporated and decomposed before hitting an inner surface of the exhaust gas pipe, which is at a cooler temperature due to it being exposed to the ambient, the urea solution will remain liquid and will not decompose. Further, the urea can form a solid deposit on the inner surface of the exhaust gas pipe.
- To facilitate evaporation and decomposition of the reductant, a mixer may be installed in front of the SCR catalyst. Additionally, the reductant injector may be placed as far away as possible upstream of the SCR catalyst. However, without sufficiently high exhaust temperatures, poor evaporation and decomposition of the urea solution can occur, and solid deposits can form on the mixer and the walls of the exhaust system. Solid urea deposition can decrease the flow area of the exhaust pipe, resulting in an increased pressure drop and higher exhaust gas velocity in the pipe, which can in turn, result in urea deposition at the downstream catalyst. Eventually, the solid deposits can lead to clogging of the exhaust system, and reduced NOx conversion efficiency.
- An exhaust aftertreatment system for a vehicle having an engine includes a fluid passageway extending from the engine to an ambient for fluidly communicating exhaust gas, and a NOx reduction catalyst disposed on the fluid passageway and downstream of the engine. An injector is disposed downstream of the engine and upstream of the NOx reduction catalyst on the fluid passageway for injecting a reductant into the fluid passageway. A heated mesh device is disposed on the fluid passageway downstream of the injector and upstream of the NOx reduction catalyst. The reductant that is injected from the injector impinges on the heated mesh device.
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic of an exhaust aftertreatment system having a heated mesh device located downstream of an injector and upstream of a NOx reduction catalyst. -
FIG. 2 is a front elevation view of the mesh device ofFIG. 1 . - Referring now to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , an SCR system (or other exhaust aftertreatment system), is indicated generally at 10, and has anexhaust pipe assembly 12 extending from anengine 14 to anoutlet 16, such as the outlet to an ambient 18. Theexhaust pipe assembly 12 forms afluid passageway 20 for the flow of exhaust gas F from theengine 14 to theambient 18. Afirst portion 22 of theexhaust pipe assembly 12 extends from theengine 14 to a diesel oxidation catalyst/diesel particulate filter 24 (DOC/DPF). Areductant pipe 26 of theexhaust pipe assembly 12 extends from the DOC/DPF 24 to aNOx reduction catalyst 28, such as a selective catalytic reduction catalyst (SCR catalyst). Athird portion 30 of theexhaust pipe 12 assembly extends from theSCR catalyst 28 to theoutlet 16. It is possible that theSCR system 10 ofFIG. 1 can have other configurations, for example, thereductant pipe 26 can be placed between the DOC and theSCR catalyst 28, followed by a DPF, or thereductant pipe 26 can be installed between the DOC and a substrate that combines the functions of the SCR catalyst and the DPF, among other configurations. - Mounted on a
mounting boss 32 on thereductant pipe 26 between the DOC/DPF 24 and theSCR catalyst 28 is aninjector 34 for spraying areductant 36, such as a urea solution, into the flow of exhaust gas F. Theinjector 34 can be mounted externally to thereductant pipe 26, with anozzle 38 of theinjector 34 being located at or in fluid communication with aninterior surface 40 of thereductant pipe 26 such that the sprayed urea orother reductant 36 is in fluid communication with thefluid passageway 20 and the flow of exhaust gas F. Theurea solution 36 is stored in a tank (not shown) and pumped to theinjector 34 with a pump (not shown) for injection into thereductant pipe 26. - After being emitted from the
engine 14 and flowing through the DOC/DPF 24, the exhaust gas F flows through thereductant pipe 26 of theexhaust pipe assembly 12 where theinjector 34 injectsurea 36 into the exhaust gas flow. Theurea 36 is injected generally at an ambient temperature, and typically needs to be heated above at least 200-degrees Celsius to be evaporized and decomposed in the exhaust gas F before reaching aninlet 42 of theSCR catalyst 28. Theurea 36 is heated by the energy of the exhaust gas F emitted from theengine 14. However, the characteristic time of the urea or other reductant 36 evaporation may still be larger than the travel time to thecatalyst 28, and solid deposits can form on theinterior surface 40 of thereductant pipe 26, on theSCR catalyst 28, and on any other components downstream of theinjector 34 on theSCR system 10. - Downstream of the
injector 34, a heatedmesh device 44 is mounted inside thereductant pipe 26 and is configured to receive all or substantially all of the flow of the exhaust gas F through the heated mesh device. The heatedmesh device 44 includes awire mesh portion 46 that permits the flow of exhaust gas F therethrough, without creating a substantial backpressure upstream of the heated mesh device. It is possible that thewire mesh portion 46 is a grid, a plurality of grids, or other shape that is capable of permitting the flow of exhaust gas F therethrough without creating a substantial backpressure, and that is capable of being heated to temperatures sufficient to evaporate and decompose the urea or otherreductant solution 36. - The heated
mesh device 44 may include asupport ring 48 that at least partially axially encloses thewire mesh portion 46, where the support ring is attached to theinterior surface 40 of thereductant pipe 26, or alternatively, the heated mesh device may be directly attached to the reductant pipe. The heatedmesh device 44 may be generally cylindrical or disk-shaped, however other shapes are possible. - The heated
mesh device 44 is mounted in theaftertreatment system 10 upstream of theSCR catalyst 28, and can be mounted by brazing the heatedmesh device 44 to thereductant pipe 26, or can be mechanically attached to the reductant pipe, for example with a rib stop or with retainer rings. It is also possible that the heatedmesh device 44 is attached to a pipe that is attached to thereductant pipe 26, so that the heated mesh device and the attached pipe are attached to two portions of the reductant pipe. Alternatively, the heatedmesh device 44 may be located between two portions of thereductant pipe 26 without a separate attached pipe. Thereductant pipe 26 and thewire mesh device 44 fluidly communicate exhaust flow F from the DOC/DPF 24 to theSCR catalyst 28 without the loss of exhaust gas between the DOC/DPF and the SCR catalyst. - The heated
mesh device 44 is positioned downstream of theinjector 34 such that the spray ofurea 36 impinges on the heated mesh device, which minimizes or avoids the urea contacting and or crystallizing at theinterior surface 40 of theexhaust pipe assembly 12. Theurea 36 decomposes on the heatedmesh device 44 and the heated mesh device distributes ammonia to theSCR catalyst 28. The heatedmesh device 44 can be partially or entirely coated with TiO2 or other suitable material serving as a hydrolysis catalyst that hydrolyzes HNCO into ammonia. Astationary mixer 50 may be located downstream of the heatedmesh device 44 and upstream of theSCR catalyst 28. - The flow of exhaust gas F through the heated
mesh device 44 is a winding path through thewire mesh portion 46, which provides increased surface area over the wire mesh to transfer heat from the mesh device to the exhaust gas. The wire mesh material may be crimped at angles of about 10 to 30-degrees, however other angles are possible. Additionally, a crimp height and a crimp distance of the material can be varied. The crimp pattern of the wire mesh material can be in a herringbone pattern, a 10-degree straight pattern, and a 30-degree straight pattern, however other crimp patterns are possible. - The material of the heated
mesh device 44 may include varying amounts chromium, aluminum, iron, nickel, and carbon, although other materials are possible. In one example material, there is about 18-20% Chromium, 68-74% Iron, 8-12% Nickel, and 0.08% Carbon. In another example material, there is about 24-26% Chromium, 48-55% Iron, 19-22% Nickel, and 0.08% Carbon. In a third example, there is about 22% Chromium, 4.8% Aluminum, and 73.2% Iron. The melting point of the material may be about 1400 or 1500-degrees Celsius, with a maximum operating temperature of the heated mesh device being about 900 to 1300-degrees Celsius. The density of the material may be about 7.25 to 8.1 g/cm3, however other densities are possible. The electric resistivity may be about 0.72 to 1.35 μohm-m at 20-degrees Celsius, however other amounts of resistivity are possible. Further, the material may have a coefficient of thermal expansion from about 11 to 17 μm/m K, thermal conductivity of about 11 to 16.2 W/m K, and a specific heat of about 0.46 to 0.5 kJ/kg K. - A
sensor 52 senses the temperature of theheated mesh device 44 and communicates the temperature to a control system 54. When the temperature of theheated mesh device 44 is below a predetermined minimum temperature, for example 200-degrees Celsius, the control system 54 actuates aheater 56 to heat theheated mesh device 44, such as by electrically heating. Electrically heating theheated mesh device 44 provides a fast heating response time. Alternatively, the heater may be acoolant heater 56, where heated coolant can be used to transfer heat to theheated mesh device 44. The coolant can be routed through or near high temperature components, for example the exhaust system, where the coolant is heated, and then the coolant is routed to themesh device 44. It is possible that theheated mesh device 44 is insulated so as not to impact other portions of the vehicle. - A power source 58 provides power to the
heater 56 to heat theheated mesh device 44. Theheater 56 maintains theheated mesh device 44 above the predetermined temperature. It is possible that the predetermined temperature can be variable, and that theheater 56 can be both automatically actuated and manually actuated. - When the
injector 34 sprays the urea orother reductant solution 36 towards theheated mesh device 44, the urea solution is minimized or prevented from hitting the colder exhaust pipe assembly 12 (which is surrounded by ambient air), and instead contacts thewire mesh portion 46. Since thewire mesh portion 46 of theheated mesh device 44 is heated to a minimum predetermined temperature, for example at least 200 degrees Celsius, theurea solution 36 can continue to evaporate. Additionally, since theurea solution 36 does not contact theexhaust pipe assembly 12, the pipe can be made of less expensive steel or other less-corrosion resistant materials. - The temperature of the urea or
other reductant solution 36 is increased due to contact with the mesh, which improves evaporation. The lifetime of the urea droplet becomes shorter due to the contact with themesh device 44. The result is that there is improved evaporation of the urea orother reductant 36, improved efficiency of theSCR system 10, reduced solid urea buildup, and reduced corrosion of theexhaust pipe assembly 12. With the increased efficiency in theSCR system 10, the distance between theinjector 34 and theSCR catalyst 28 may be decreased.
