Description
- The present invention relates to an apparatus for reducing the temperature of an exhaust gas for an engine of a construction machine. More particularly, the present invention relates to an improved exhaust gas temperature reduction apparatus for an engine of a construction machine, in which when an exhaust gas generated in the combustion process of a smoke reduction device of an engine, preferably a diesel engine of the construction machine passes through a diffuser and a tail pipe, the exhaust gas is mixed with a cooling fan air flow and an external air so that a low-temperature exhaust gas can be discharged to the outside of an engine room.
- Conventionally, in a diesel engine employing fossil fuel or a hybrid-type construction machine the fossil fuel along with electric energy, it is general that a smoke reduction device for regeneration and post-treatment of the exhaust gas is employed in the diesel engine or the hybrid-type construction machine.
- In particular, particulate matters (PM) contained in an exhaust gas discharged from the diesel engine of the construction machine provide a cause of environmental and air pollution. In addition, in the case where the particulate matters are sucked into the lung tissue or the respiratory system of the human body, they have a malignant effect on the human body. For this reason, regulation of emissions of particulate matters is reinforced around the world.
- In order to solve a problem involved in such environmental pollution, there is proposed a diesel particulate filter (DPF) as a smoke reduction device that captures and treats particulate matters emitted in the air to prevent the particulate matters generated from a diesel vehicle or the like from being emitted in the air. The diesel particulate filter (DPF) repeatedly performs a process of burning out the filtered smoke or a process of not burning out the filtered smoke but shaking off the filter to regenerate the filter when the particulate matters are captured and then a given time point is reached. However, such a conventional diesel particulate filter (DPF) entails a problem in that the exhaust gas emitted from the engine through the smoke reduction device is discharged to the outside along with a high-temperature air flow, which may cause a fire or a burn.
- In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a technology is researched and developed which reduces the temperature of the exhaust gas by means of a tail pipe connected to the smoke reduction device. For example, as an example of an exhaust gas temperature reduction apparatus for an engine of a construction machine, there is disclosed Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2010-86525 entitled “Apparatus for Reducing Temperature of Overheated Gas of Engine Room” and laid-opened on Aug. 2, 2010.
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a state in which a conventional exhaust gas temperature reduction apparatus for an engine of a construction machine is installed at an engine room according to the prior art. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , the conventional exhaust gas temperature reduction apparatus for an engine of a construction machine includes: a through-hole 2 penetratingly formed at one side of anengine room 7; a tail pipe 1 having one end connected to thesmoke reduction device 6 and the other end extending to the outside of theengine room 7 through the through-hole 2, and configured to discharge an overheated gas that is discharged during regeneration of thesmoke reduction device 6 to the outside; a cooling fan 3 provided at one side of anengine room 7 and configured to generate a coolingfan air flow 9 through the inflow of an external air; and a diffuser 4 engaged with the through-hole 2 and configured to surround an outer circumferential surface of the tail pipe 1 to have a space defined between the tail pipe 1 and the diffuser 4, whereby the diffuser is prevented from coming into direct contact with the tail pipe 1 and dispersion of the cooling fan air flow is prevented after suction of the cooling fan air flow to reduce the temperature of the overheated gas. - This technology enables the exhaust gas of the
smoke reduction device 5 and the coolingfan air flow 9 generated by the cooling fan 3 to be mixed with each other in the tail pipe 1 when the exhaust gas having passed through thesmoke reduction device 5 is primarily discharged through the tail pipe 1 so that the temperature of the overheated exhaust gas can be reduced. - However, the conventional exhaust gas temperature reduction apparatus encounters a problem in that since the
air flow 9 generated by the cooling fan 3 directly passes by the outer circumferential surface of the tail pipe 1 or the exhaust gas and theair flow 9 are mixed with each other inefficiently in the tail pipe 1, the temperature of the exhaust gas discharged to the outside through the tail pipe 1 reaches high temperature, for example about 500° C. - As a result, such a high-temperature exhaust gas causes the overheating of the diffuser 4. In addition, although the high-temperature exhaust gas does not come into direct contact with the tail pipe 1, there occurs a problem in that it may bring about a fire or a physical injury through the contact with the diffuser 4.
- Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the aforementioned problem occurring in the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for reducing a temperature of an exhaust gas for an engine of a construction machine, in which an external air and a cooling fan air flow generated by a cooling fan are mixed with each other in the diffuser to produce a turbulent flow to cause the tail pipe to be cooled structurally, and furthermore the turbulent flow is efficiently introduced into the tail pipe to reduce the temperature of the exhaust gas having passed through a smoke reduction device in the tail pipe.
- To accomplish the above object, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for reducing a temperature of an exhaust gas for an engine of a construction machine including a diesel engine and a smoke reduction device connected onto an exhaust pipe of the diesel engine to prevent the discharge of particulate matters, the apparatus including:
- a cooling fan provided at one side of an engine room and configured to generate a cooling fan air flow through the inflow of an external air;
- a tail pipe including a turbulent flow inlet port and a first guide configured to guide the cooling fan air flow to the inside of the apparatus, the tail pipe having one end connected to the smoke reduction device and the other end extending to the outside of the engine room to discharge an overheated gas that is discharged during regeneration of the smoke reduction device to the outside; and
- a diffuser including an external air inlet port exposed to the outside of the engine room and a second guide positioned adjacent to the external air inlet port to guide the external air introduced into the engine room to the inside of the apparatus, the diffuser being configured to surround an outer circumferential surface of the tail pipe to have a space defined between the tail pipe and the diffuser, whereby the diffuser is prevented from coming into direct contact with the tail pipe.

-
FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing a state in which an exhaust gas temperature reduction apparatus for an engine of a construction machine in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention is installed on an engine room, andFIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view showing an exhaust gas temperature reduction apparatus for an engine of a construction machine in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. - An exhaust gas temperature reduction apparatus for an engine of a construction machine including a
diesel engine 5 and asmoke reduction device 6 connected onto an exhaust pipe of thediesel engine 5 to prevent the discharge of particulate matters in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, includes: - a cooling fan 3 provided at one side of an
engine room 7 and configured to generate a coolingfan air flow 9 through the inflow of an external air; - a
tail pipe 10 including a turbulentflow inlet port 14 and afirst guide 13 a configured to guide the coolingfan air flow 9 to the inside of the tail pipe, the tail pipe having one end connected to thesmoke reduction device 6 and the other end extending to the outside of theengine room 7 and configured to discharge an overheated gas that is discharged during regeneration of thesmoke reduction device 6 to the outside; and - a
diffuser 20 including an externalair inlet port 24 exposed to the outside of theengine room 7 and asecond guide 23 a positioned adjacent to the externalair inlet port 24 to guide the external air introduced into the engine room to the inside of the apparatus, the diffuser being configured to surround an outer circumferential surface of thetail pipe 10 to have a space defined between thetail pipe 10 and thediffuser 20, whereby the diffuser is prevented from coming into direct contact with thetail pipe 10. - In addition, referring to
FIG. 4 , a plurality of turbulentflow inlet ports 14 is arranged at angular intervals of a predetermined angle along the circumference of thetail pipe 10, and a plurality of externalair inlet port 24 is formed along the circumferential surface of thediffuser 20 to correspond to the plurality of turbulentflow inlet ports 14. - Preferably, the turbulent
flow inlet ports 14 of thetail pipe 10 are arranged at angular intervals of 45° along the circumference of thetail pipe 10, the externalair inlet ports 24 of thediffuser 20 are arranged to correspond to the angular intervals of the turbulentflow inlet ports 14. In this case, the turbulentflow inlet ports 14 and the externalair inlet ports 24 may include heights and sizes different from each other. - The external
air inlet port 24 is a passage that allows air flowing at the outside of theengine room 7, preferably air flowing above theengine room 7 to be moved into thediffuser 20 therethrough, and the air is guided to the inside of thediffuser 20 and thetail pipe 10 by thesecond guide 23 a during the movement of the air. - In the meantime, the cooling fan 3 is a device that generates an
air flow 9 to drop the temperature of an overheated gas. The cooling fan 3 is positioned at one side of theengine room 7 and sucks in an external air from the front of theengine room 7 to generate theair flow 9 capable of dropping the temperature of an overheated gas discharged during the filter regeneration of thesmoke reduction device 6. - Preferably, the cooling fan 3 is positioned at the rear of a radiator 8 to maintain the temperature of an
air flow 9 at a constant level while excluding the effect of heat generated from adiesel engine 5. - In order to supply the
air flow 9 generated from the cooling fan 3 to the space defined between thediffuser 20 and thetail pipe 10, thediffuser 20 is configured to have a larger diameter or dimension than that of thetail pipe 10 to surround thetail pipe 10. - In an embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the exhaust gas temperature reduction apparatus may include a
connection bracket 21 configured to securely fix a bottom end of thediffuser 20 to thesmoke reduction device 6 so as to maintain the space defined between thediffuser 20 and thetail pipe 10. The bottom end of thediffuser 20 is securely fixed to one side of theengine room 7 to maintain an upright state of thediffuser 20 in which the bottom of thediffuser 20 and the externalair inlet port 24 are exposed to the outside of theengine room 7. - The
second guides 23 a formed on thediffuser 20 constitutes a plural-row structure together with anothersecond guides 23 b spaced apart from thesmoke reduction device 6. The othersecond guides 23 b are protrudingly formed on the inner circumferential surface of an upper portion of thediffuser 20 whereas thesecond guide 23 a is protrudingly formed on the inner circumferential surface of a lower portion of thediffuser 20 so as to be positioned in proximity to the externalair inlet ports 24. - The other
second guides 23 b formed on the inner circumferential surface of an upper portion of thediffuser 20 may be formed as a protruded air duct or channel in which the angle of a back slope is adjusted in consideration of an air flow and an exhaust capacity or the required flow rate of the turbulent flow. In this case, preferably, the air duct or channel is formed in a staggered arrangement on the outer surface of thetail pipe 10. - The
second guides 23 a may be radially arranged at predetermined intervals in an angle range of from 30° to 90° on the inner circumferential surface of a lower portion of thediffuser 20. In addition, thesecond guides 23 b other than thesecond guides 23 a may be radially arranged at predetermined intervals in an angle range of from 30° to 90° on the inner circumferential surface of an upper portion of thediffuser 20 so that thesecond guides - Meanwhile, the
first guides 13 a formed on thetail pipe 10 constitutes a plural-row structure together with anotherfirst guides 13 b spaced apart from thesmoke reduction device 6. The otherfirst guides 13 b are protrudingly formed on the inner circumferential surface of an upper portion of thetail pipe 10 whereas thefirst guide 13 a is protrudingly formed on the inner circumferential surface of a lower portion of thetail pipe 10 so as to be positioned in proximity to the turbulentflow inlet ports 14. - The first guides 13 a may be radially arranged at predetermined intervals in an angle range of from 30° to 90° on the inner circumferential surface of a lower portion of the
tail pipe 10. In addition, the first guides 13 b other than the first guides 13 a may be radially arranged at predetermined intervals in an angle range of from 30° to 90° on the inner circumferential surface of an upper portion of thetail pipe 10 so that the first guides 13 a and 13 b can constitute a plural-row structure. - The other
second guides 13 b formed on the inner circumferential surface of an upper portion of thetail pipe 10 may be formed as a protruded air duct or channel of which the angle of a back slope is adjusted in consideration of an air flow and an exhaust capacity or the required flow rate of the turbulent flow. For example, in the case where the exhaust capacity is large, the heat exchange time between the turbulent flow and the exhaust gas can be maintained relatively long through the adjustment of the angle of the back slope of the air duct. - The
diffuser 20 in accordance with the present invention allows an external air to be mixed with the coolingfan air flow 9 to generate a turbulent flow when an exhaust gas is discharged from thetail pipe 10 through thesmoke reduction device 6 and allows a low-temperature turbulent flow to be mixed with a high-temperature exhaust gas inside thetail pipe 10 to discharge the exhaust gas. - Preferably, the
diffuser 20 allows the turbulent flow generated by the collision between the coolingfan air flow 9 and the external air inside theengine room 7 to surround the outer circumferential surface of thetail pipe 10 in the space defined between thetail pipe 10 and thediffuser 20 to cause the outer circumferential surface of thetail pipe 10 to be cooled. Thus, a direct contact between an external structure of thediffuser 20 or the human body and thetail pipe 10 can be prevented to avoid a risk of a fire and a burn - More specifically, in the process in which the exhaust gas is discharged from the
tail pipe 10 through thesmoke reduction device 6, the coolingfan air flow 9 reaches turbulentflow inlet ports 14 of thetail pipe 10 and the externalair inlet ports 24 of thediffuser 20. Some of the reached coolingfan air flow 9 collides against the back slopes of the second guides 23 a formed on the inner circumferential surface of the lower portion of thediffuser 20 to cause the flow direction of some of the coolingfan air flow 9 to be primarily changed toward the turbulentflow inlet ports 14 of thetail pipe 10. - In other words, the cooling
fan air flow 9 collides with and is mixed with the external air introduced laterally through the externalair inlet port 24 of thediffuser 20 to generate the turbulent flow. In this process, the rest (referring to an air flow component parallel to the inner circumferential surface of the diffuser) of the coolingfan air flow 9 is moved straight ahead beyond the back slopes and the top tips of the second guides 23 a of thediffuser 20, and then collides against and is guided by the back slopes of the second guides 23 b so that the remaining air flow can be brought into close contact with the outer circumferential surface of thetail pipe 10. - Ultimately, the turbulent flow in which the cooling
fan air flow 9 generated by the cooling fan 3 installed inside theengine room 7 and the external air inside theengine room 7 are mixed violently is introduced into thetail pipe 10. At this time, some of the turbulent flow which is not introduced into thetail pipe 10 flows spirally upwardly along the outer circumferential surface of thetail pipe 10 while surrounding the outer circumferential surface of thetail pipe 10. In this process, the turbulent flow may again collide with the back slopes of the second guides 23 b formed on the inner circumferential surface of the upper portion of thediffuser 20 to generate a turbulent flow. - In the meantime, the shape and arrangement structure of the second guides 23 a or 23 b protrudingly formed in plural rows on the inner circumferential surface of the
diffuser 20 may be modified in various manners within the range of not suppressing a pneumatic flow of the coolingfan air flow 9 and reducing the temperature of thetail pipe 10 and the exhaust gas, if necessary. - For example, the angle of the back slopes of the second guides 23 a or 23 b of the
diffuser 20 may be adjusted in an angle range from of 15° to 80° and the torsion angle may be additionally applied to the back slopes of the second guides 23 a or 23 b. - As described above, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the turbulent flow in which the cooling
fan air flow 9 and the external air inside theengine room 7 are mixed with each other is introduced into the tail pipe 1 through the turbulentflow inlet port 14. In this case, the turbulent flow is introduced into the tail pipe 1 more effectively if there is a height difference between the externalair inlet ports 24 of thediffuser 20 and the turbulentflow inlet ports 14 of thetail pipe 10 - For example, in the case where the external
air inlet ports 24 of thediffuser 20 are arranged at a lower position which is relatively near from the top surface of thesmoke reduction device 6 and the turbulentflow inlet ports 14 of thetail pipe 10 are arranged at a higher position which is a relatively far from the top surface of thesmoke reduction device 6, the turbulent flow collides against the back slop of the second guides 23 a of thediffuser 20 to cause the flow direction of the turbulent flow to be oriented toward the front of the turbulentflow inlet ports 14 of thetail pipe 10 so that the introduction efficiency of the turbulent flow can be increased. - In the meantime, the turbulent flow introduced into the
tail pipe 10 through the turbulentflow inlet port 14 of thetail pipe 10 and the exhaust gas are mixed with each other and are discharged to the outside via the upper portion of thetail pipe 10. The exhaust gas mixed with the turbulent flow in this process collides against the back slopes of the first guides 13 b formed on the inner circumferential surface of the upper portion of thetail pipe 10. At this time, the high-temperature exhaust gas is mixed with the low-temperature turbulent flow introduced into thetail pipe 10 through the turbulentflow inlet port 14 and is discharged to the outside through a heat exchange. - Ultimately, the exhaust gas temperature reduction apparatus for an engine of a construction machine in accordance with the present invention allows the cooling fan air flow and the exhaust gas to pass through the external
air inlet ports 24 and the second guides 23 a or 23 b of thediffuser 20 and the turbulentflow inlet ports 14 and the first guides 13 a or 13 b thetail pipe 10 so that the temperatures of the exhaust gas, thetail pipe 10, and thediffuser 20 can be dropped to a relative low temperature and the low-temperature exhaust gas can be released to the outside of theengine room 7 in the form of the vertical turbulent flow. - While the present invention has been described in connection with the specific embodiments illustrated in the drawings, they are merely illustrative, and the invention is not limited to these embodiments. It is to be understood that various equivalent modifications and variations of the embodiments can be made by a person having an ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the true technical scope of the present invention should not be defined by the above-mentioned embodiments but should be defined by the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
- As described above, the exhaust gas temperature reduction apparatus for an engine of a construction machine in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention can be effectively applied to the construction machine used in excavation, transportation, and leveling/flattening works of earth and sand as well as an excavator or a wheel loader.
