Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a monolithic honeycomb body, in particular a catalyst carrier body, preferably for use in catalytic converters of exhaust gas assemblies in motor vehicles.
  • honeycomb bodies made of layers of at least partially structured sheets, which form a multiplicity of channels through which a fluid can flow in a main flow direction, are known in large numbers from the prior art.
  • a typical design of such honeycomb bodies is described, for example, in EP-B-o 245 737.
  • honeycomb bodies Despite the relatively advanced development of such honeycomb bodies, they have so far only been built with a limited axial length, the largest construction types known to date having an axial length of 152 mm. built, the largest types known to date have an axial length L of 152 mm.
  • the object of the present invention is to create a cost-effective honeycomb body which can be installed with little effort, which can provide a large active volume without subdivision into partial bodies and which, if necessary, makes an intermediate space between partial bodies unnecessary for swirling or cross-mixing due to its design.
  • a monolithic honeycomb body in particular a catalyst carrier body, is used from many layers of at least partially structured sheets which form a multiplicity of channels through which a fluid can flow in a main flow direction, the honeycomb body having a length in the main flow direction of more than 160 mm has, preferably 170 to 200 mm. It can also have a swirl zone, at least in its central region as seen in the main flow direction.
  • additional inflow edges can be present in the interior of the channels in the swirling zone, as described in WO 91/01807.
  • Other types of inflow edges as are known from the prior art can also be used for this purpose.
  • the inversions described are particularly inexpensive and can be integrated into existing manufacturing processes if such a honeycomb body consists at least in part of sheets which are corrugated and can accordingly be easily provided with additional inversions.
  • openings in some or all of the sheet metal layers can be provided in the swirling zone, which enable cross-mixing between the individual channels.
  • honeycomb bodies for catalytic converters.
  • a large number of different ratios L / D of axial length L to diameter D were determined as a function of Diameter D or Dmin realized.
  • honeycomb bodies were never used in series, whose ratio L / D or L / Dmin as a function of D or Dmin was above the limit curves in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the limit curve corresponds to the longest construction types used to date with different diameters, the length always being 152 mm.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic longitudinal section through a device according to the invention Honeycomb body with possible swirl zone
  • FIG. 2 shows a diagram to illustrate the limit curve for "excess lengths” with honeycomb bodies that are round in cross section
  • FIG. 3 shows a diagram to illustrate the limit curve for "excess lengths” with oval or elliptical honeycomb bodies in cross section.
  • the honeycomb body 1 in FIG. 1 is constructed from structured sheet metal layers 3, which are generally arranged in a jacket tube 2, the sheet metal layers 3 being structured such that they form channels 4 through which a fluid can flow in a main flow direction S.
  • the type of structuring of the sheets is not important for the present invention, but alternating layers of smooth and corrugated sheets or alternating layers of differently corrugated sheets are preferably used.
  • the honeycomb body 1 has a length L of at least 160 mm and is therefore longer than the largest construction types used to date (compare limit curves in FIGS. 2 and 3). It is preferably even over 170 mm long, a length which has so far been achieved only by two partial bodies arranged one behind the other.
  • the honeycomb body typically has a diameter of z. B.
  • the honeycomb body according to the invention can have, at least in its central region, a swirling zone 5 which has one or more of the means for influencing the flow listed below. Openings 6 can be provided in the individual sheet-metal layers in the swirling zone, for cross-mixing between adjacent channels 4. Additional leading edges 7, preferably designed as inversions of corrugated sheet-metal layers, can also be present. Flow guiding surfaces 8 in connection with openings and / or inversions can also be useful.
  • FIG. 2 shows the course of a limit curve 10 for defining the term “excess length” for honeycomb bodies with a round cross section in a diagram in which the diameter D on the X axis and the ratio L / D of length on the Y axis L is applied to diameter D.
  • the limit curve 10 corresponds to honeycomb bodies with the largest L / D ratios used to date in larger quantities, which occur with axial lengths of 152 mm. Larger ratios have so far not been considered feasible or technically meaningful and have therefore not been considered.
  • FIG. 3 shows the course of a limit curve 11 for oval or elliptical honeycomb bodies, all the explanations for FIG. 2 correspondingly applying, but replacing the diameter D with the minimum diameter Dmin.
  • larger L / Dmin ratios have so far not been considered as economically feasible or technically sensible.
  • a honeycomb body with excess length does not differ from honeycomb bodies constructed from two partial bodies, but a monolith can be integrated into an exhaust system more cost-effectively than two individual partial bodies, since several steps in handling, coating and fastening can be omitted . This is the main advantage of the present invention, while at the same time there are no disadvantages compared to known systems.

Abstract

Corps à nid d'abeilles monolithique (1) composé de couches de tôles (3) au moins partiellement structurées, lesquelles constituent une pluralité de canaux (4) traversées par un fluide dans une direction de courant principale (S), le corps à nid d'abeilles (1) présentant une longueur (L) de plus de 160 mm, de préférence de 170 mm à 200 mm. De tels corps à nid d'abeilles sont utilisés en particulier dans des véhicules automobiles comme corps de support de catalyseurs destinés à l'épuration des gaz d'échappement. Des corps à nid d'abeilles particulièrement longs selon l'invention peuvent être utilisés au lieu de deux ou plusieurs corps individuels disposés en série, sans que se présentent les inconvénients auxquels les spécialistes sont confrontés jusqu'à présent. Si un mélange intérieur est souhaité, il est possible de prévoir une zone de turbulence (5), p. ex. avec des arêtes supplémentaires de division de flux (7).
