Definitions

  • the present disclosure generally relates to a system for treating exhaust gases. More particularly, a device for increasing an exhaust gas temperature upstream of a hydrocarbon lean NO x catalyst is discussed.
  • Typical aftertreatment systems for diesel engine exhaust may include one or more of a diesel particulate filter (DPF), a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, a hydrocarbon (HC) injector, and a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC).
  • DPF diesel particulate filter
  • SCR selective catalytic reduction
  • HC hydrocarbon
  • DOC diesel oxidation catalyst
  • the DPF traps soot emitted by the engine and reduces the emission of particulate matter (PM). Over time, the DPF becomes loaded and begins to clog. Periodic regeneration or oxidation of the trapped soot in the DPF is required for proper operation. To regenerate the DPF, relatively high exhaust temperatures in combination with an ample amount of oxygen in the exhaust stream are needed to oxidize the soot trapped in the filter.
  • the DOC is typically used to generate heat to regenerate the soot loaded DPF.
  • hydrocarbons HC
  • HC hydrocarbons
  • a burner may be provided to heat the exhaust stream upstream of the various aftertreatment devices.
  • Known burners have successfully increased the exhaust temperature of internal combustion engines for automotive use. Some Original Equipment Manufacturers have resisted implementation of prior burners due to their size and cost. Furthermore, other applications including diesel locomotives, stationary power plants, marine vessels and others may be equipped with relatively large diesel compression engines.
  • the exhaust mass flow rate from the larger engines may be more than ten times the maximum flow rate typically provided to the burner. While it may be possible to increase the size of the burner to account for the increased exhaust mass flow rate, the cost, weight and packaging concerns associated with this solution may be unacceptable.
  • a need may exist in the art for an exhaust treatment system equipped with a hydrocarbon lean NO x catalyst and a device to increase the temperature of the exhaust output from an engine while minimally affecting the cost, weight, size and performance of the exhaust system. It may also be desirable to minimally affect the pressure drop and/or back pressure associated with the use of a burner.

  • housing 50 minimally intrudes within passageway 14
  • exhaust back pressure is also minimally increased.
  • side branch portion 34 and injector 36 minimally radially outwardly extend from pipe 112 . Such an arrangement allows an Original Equipment Manufacturer to more easily package the miniature regeneration unit on the vehicle.
  • first igniter 42 also includes an ion sensor 44 coupled to a coil 46 .
  • Ion sensor 44 may be in the form of an electrode positioned within combustion chamber 68 .
  • a voltage may be applied to the ion sensor to create an electric field from the sensor to a ground such as housing 50 . When voltage is applied, an electric field radiates from the sensor to the ground. If free ions are present in the field, a small ion current may flow. The magnitude of the ion current provides an indication of the density of the ions.
  • Control module 38 detects and receives signals from ion sensor 44 to determine the presence or absence of a flame. Ion sensor 44 may also determine if igniter 42 is fouled.

It should be appreciated that the reductant may or may not come into direct contact with a surface of the heating element. Regardless of the arrangement, energy is transferred from the heating element to the reductant to increase the temperature and energy content of the reductant. The heated reductant is injected into the exhaust stream downstream from DPF 32 . Based on the nozzle design, reductant pressure and reductant temperature, very small reductant droplets having a size less the one micron are injected into exhaust passageway 14 .
  • a lean NO X catalyst (LNC) 208 and a selective catalytic reduction device (SCR) 210 are mounted within a common housing 214 .
  • LNC 208 is positioned upstream of SCR 210 to reduce NO X in an oxygen rich environment.
  • LNC 208 is a hydrocarbon lean NO X catalyst configured to reduce NO X using a hydrocarbon as the reductant.
  • Aerosol generator 202 provides a number of design advantages for exhaust aftertreatment system 200 . The heated aerosol mist of reductant exiting aerosol generator 202 is rapidly dispersed throughout the exhaust exiting DPF 32 . A minimized length of exhaust conduit is required to provide a mixing zone for the exhaust and reductant prior to entry into LNC 208 .
  • the small reductant droplets interact with the porous surface of LNC 208 more efficiently than larger droplets of reductant.
  • Use of aerosol generator 202 results in improved catalyst response from LNC 208 .
  • the reduced size droplets also minimize the likelihood of damage to LNC 208 through liquid impingement on the catalyst.
  • SCR 210 is positioned downstream from LNC 208 to further reduce NO X and remove ammonia from the exhaust stream. As depicted in FIG. 15 , LNC 208 and SCR 210 may be positioned adjacent to one another within common housing 214 .
  • Reductant injector 202 may alternatively be configured as a nozzle for supplying unheated and pressurized reductant.
  • Injector 202 may supply an alcohol based internal combustion engine fuel. Based on the volatility of these fuels, an aerosol generator or vaporizer may not be needed to rapidly disperse the reductant in the exhaust.
  • FIG. 16 depicts a portion of another alternate exhaust gas aftertreatment system identified at reference numeral 300 .
  • System 300 is substantially similar to system 200 . Accordingly, like elements will be identified by their previously introduced reference numerals.
  • the diesel particulate filter has been moved downstream and combined with the SCR.
  • a DPF having an SCR coating is depicted at reference numeral 302 .
  • LNC 208 is positioned closer to engine 12 and miniature regeneration unit 26 . Accordingly, the temperature of exhaust entering LNC 208 should be greater than a like configuration where LNC 208 is positioned further from the energy sources.
  • Exhaust gas aftertreatment system 10 takes advantage of the relative position of miniature regeneration unit 26 , diesel oxidation catalyst 30 and aerosol generator 202 to maximize the conversion efficiency of LNC 208 .
  • the NO X reduction efficiency achieved by LNC 208 increases with the increase of exhaust temperature.
  • SCR coated DPF 302 is positioned within sufficient proximity of miniature regeneration unit 26 and diesel oxidation catalyst 30 to selectively regenerate SCR/DPF 302 as required.
  • aerosol generator 202 By using aerosol generator 202 to introduce the reductant, improved distribution and mixing of the reductant with the exhaust gas occurs prior to entering LNC 208 . Efficient NO X reduction occurs. Aerosol generator 202 further improves the operating characteristics of LNC 208 by injecting heated reductant. An undesirable reduction in the exhaust temperature is avoided.
  • FIG. 17 depicts a portion of another alternate exhaust gas aftertreatment system 400 .
  • Aftertreatment system 400 relocates LNC 208 further upstream closer to engine 12 and miniature regeneration unit 26 .
  • This configuration increases NO X conversion efficiency over a greater range of engine operating conditions including cold starts.
  • Miniature regeneration unit 26 adds heat to the exhaust while aerosol generator 202 adds energy to the reductant injected upstream of LNC 208 .
  • Regeneration unit 26 may be positioned upstream of lean NO x catalyst 208 such that carbon deposits may be periodically or continuously burned from the catalyst's active sites. Regeneration of lean NO x catalyst 208 increases the NO conversion efficiency of aftertreatment system 400 .
  • LNC 208 includes a silver-based catalyst for use with alcohol-based reductants such as ethanol, E85, E93, E95 and the like.
  • Alcohol-based reductants such as ethanol, E85, E93, E95 and the like.
  • Acetaldehyde is produced as the active compound in NO reduction at temperatures greater than or equal to 300° C.
  • aerosol generator 202 also known as a vaporizer, the alcohol-based reductants may be broken down prior to contact with the silver-based catalyst to cause NO conversion to occur at temperatures lower than 300° C.
  • aerosol generator 202 also increases the overall conversion efficiency at higher catalyst temperatures.
  • System 400 includes hydrocarbon injector 28 being positioned downstream from LNC 208 and upstream from DOC 30 and DPF 32 .
  • DOC 30 and DPF 32 are shown positioned in a common housing 402 .
  • controller 38 selectively causes hydrocarbon injector 28 to inject a reductant such as diesel fuel into the exhaust stream downstream of LNC 208 and upstream from DOC 30 .
  • FIG. 18 depicts another alternate exhaust gas aftertreatment system 500 .
  • Aftertreatment system 500 is substantially similar to aftertreatment system 300 . Accordingly, like elements will retain their previously introduced reference numerals. More particularly, system 500 differs from system 300 in that system 500 includes a diesel particulate filter having a lean NO X catalyst coating instead of an SCR coated DPF. Packaging space and cost may be reduced by implementing the solutions shown in aftertreatment system 300 and aftertreatment system 500 .
  • LNC DPF 502 During operation of LNC DPF 502 , an exothermic chemical reaction takes place. The release of energy aids in regeneration of soot captured by the diesel particulate filter. Furthermore, regeneration of the DPF may occur simultaneously with desulfation of the hydrocarbon LNC. SCR 210 is positioned downstream from LNC/DPF 502 to remove ammonia and further reduce NO X .
  • FIG. 19 shows another alternate exhaust gas aftertreatment system 600 .
  • Exhaust gas aftertreatment system 600 is substantially similar to aftertreatment system 500 . These systems are substantially the same other than aerosol generator 202 is replaced with a second reductant injector 602 .
  • Second reductant injector 602 is plumbed in communication with a supplemental storage tank 604 .
  • a second reductant such as an alcohol based fuel is stored within tank 604 and selectively supplied to second reductant injector 602 .
  • Alcohol based fuels such as E85, E93 and E95 provide an enhanced NO X reduction efficiency when compared to the use of diesel fuel as a reductant.
  • An injector may be used to inject the alcohol based fuel instead of an aerosol generator due to the low vapor pressure of the second reductant.
  • Filling tank 604 with a readily available alcohol based fuel is considered to be desirable when compared to storing and dispensing a source of ammonia such as urea.
  • FIG. 20 depicts another exhaust gas aftertreatment system 700 equipped with LNC 208 and SCR/DPF 302 packaged in a common housing 702 .
  • Aerosol generator 202 is positioned in communication with exhaust passageway 14 upstream of a burner 704 .
  • Burner 704 is configured such that all of the exhaust travelling through passageway 14 passes through burner 704 to an inlet 706 of housing 702 .
  • System 700 operates such that the atomized reductant provided by aerosol generator 202 is heated by burner 704 but not combusted by the flame produced within burner 704 .
  • a reductant laden and heated exhaust is provided to inlet 706 to achieve an improved operating range and better cold start performance of LNC 208 .
  • Burner 704 is configured with a shell 708 to achieve this function. The burner generates a combustion flame within shell 708 .
  • the reductant and exhaust mixture passes over an outer surface of shell 708 to allow heat transfer to the exhaust without combusting the reductant.
  • FIG. 21 depicts another exhaust gas aftertreatment system identified at reference numeral 800 .
  • System 800 is substantially similar to system 700 with the exception that aerosol generator 202 is replaced with a secondary reductant injector 802 .
  • Secondary reductant injector 802 is supplied with a secondary reductant such as an alcohol based fuel stored in a supplemental reductant tank 804 .
  • Injected secondary reductant mixes with exhaust travelling through exhaust passageway 14 and is heated by burner 704 .
  • the heated reductant and exhaust is supplied to LNC 208 and SCR/DPF 302 to reduce undesirable NO X emissions.
