Description

DETACHABLE DECOMPOSITION REACTOR WITH AN INTEGRAL MIXER
PRIORITY INFORMATION
The present application is being filed as a PCT International Patent Application in the name of CUMMINS FILTRATION IP INC. and claims the benefit of priority of US Application Number 12/252689 filed October 16, 2009 entitled "DETACHABLE DECOMPOSITION REACTOR WITH AN INTEGRAL MIXER," which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
FIELD This disclosure relates to the field of exhaust systems. More particularly, this description relates to a detachable decomposition reactor with an integral mixer for use in an exhaust system.
BACKGROUND
A common problem associated with the use of internal combustion engines is the formation of undesirable byproducts found in the exhaust stream, particularly nitrogen- oxides. After-treatment systems, such as selective catalytic reaction (SCR) systems, are used to lower the nitrogen-oxide content in the exhaust stream using urea and a reduction catalyst. In some SCR systems a urea decomposition reactor with a mixer is used to promote the decomposition of the urea into ammonia. While detachable decomposition reactors within a SCR system are known, a majority of conventional decomposition reactors are typically formed as an integral part to the SCR system or are external reactors that are welded directly to the SCR system. Also, the reactor itself is formed by welding both an injector mount and a mixer directly to the inner tube of the decomposition reactor. As a result, conventional decomposition reactors suffer from poor heat retention within the reactor and are formed with welding distortions that result in the formation of reductant deposits within the reactor.
SUMMARY
This application describes a reductant decomposition reactor for use in exhaust systems.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific illustrative embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice what is claimed, and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense.
The embodiments presented herein are directed to a detachable reductant decomposition reactor with an integral mixer to be placed in a SCR exhaust system. The reactor includes a reductant injector mount that is configured to efficiently provide reductant into the SCR exhaust system, while avoiding the formation of reductant deposits within the reactor. The mixer is oriented within the reactor so as to be capable of decomposing nitrogen-oxide reductant in the exhaust stream as the exhaust stream flows through the decomposition reactor. The reactor also includes an insulating layer and heat shields to retain heat within the reactor in order to aid in the decomposition of the reductant and to mitigate the formation of reductant deposits.
Figure 1 is a side view of a detachable reductant decomposition reactor 100 formed using a welding method. The reactor 100 includes a middle tube portion 1 10, a reductant injector mount 120, an inlet tube 140 and an outlet tube 150. The reactor 100 also includes a mixer 130 placed between the outlet tube 150 and an end of the middle tube portion 1 10. The middle tube portion 1 10 is formed with the injector mount 120, thereby avoiding distortions in the reactor 100 that result from welding an external injector mount to the middle tube portion 1 10. The inlet tube 140 and the outlet tube 150 are welded to the middle tube portion 1 10 to allow the reactor 100 to be configured to meet any type of connection configuration to the SCR exhaust system. The reactor 100 includes an insulating layer 160 surrounding an outer surface of the middle tube portion 1 10, a portion of the inlet tube 140 and a portion of the outlet tube 150. The insulating layer 160 is protected using heat shields 170. The injector mount 120 and the mixer 130 are oriented in ideal locations relative to each other in order to provide optimal reductant decomposition without the formation of reductant deposits within the reactor 100. In particular, the injector mount 120 and the mixer 130 are oriented to aim the reductant sprayed into the reactor 100 via the injector mount 120 to a center of the mixer 130. The middle tube portion 1 10, the mixer 130 and the outlet tube 150 are made from the same material or materials with similar coefficients of thermal expansion.
As discussed above, the middle tube portion 1 10, the mixer 130 and the outlet tube 150 are formed with the same material or materials with similar coefficients of thermal expansion. This allows the middle tube portion, the mixer 130 and the outlet tube 150 to have the same thermal expansion and contraction when the reactor 100 is used in an aftertreatment system. This allows the mixer 130 to expand and contract more freely within the reactor 100 without causing excessive stresses on the reactor 100 when a comparatively cold reactant is sprayed on the comparatively hot mixer 130. The mixer 130 includes mixer blades (not shown) used for decomposing nitrogen-oxide reductant from the exhaust stream traveling through the decomposition reactor 1 10. In the embodiment of Figure 1, the mixer 130 and the outlet tube 150 are formed with 16 gauge 904L stainless steel. This material has a high content of alloying materials that provide superior corrosion and erosion prevention characteristics when placed in a decomposition reactor or any similar environment that is highly corrosive and subject to high temperatures, cyclic temperatures, etc.
The inlet tube 140 includes an inlet connection 145 for creating a sealable connection between the reactor 100 and one end of the aftertreatment system. In the embodiment of Figure 1 , the inlet connection 145 is a marmon joint. In other embodiments, the inlet connection 145 can be other types of gasket joints to mate with and create a sealed connection with the aftertreatment system. The inlet tube 140 is made from a lower cost material, such as 16 gauge 316L stainless steel, as the inlet tube 140 does not have direct contact with the reductant. The outlet tube 150 includes an outlet connection 155 for creating a sealable connection between the reactor 100 and another end of the aftertreatment system. In the embodiment of Figure 1 , the outlet connection 155 is a marmon joint. In other embodiments, the outlet connection 155 can be other types of gasket joints to mate with and create a sealed connection with the aftertreatment system. As stated above, the outlet tube 150 is configured to match the material used to form the mixer 130.
As the reactor 100 is formed using a welding method, the reactor 100 can be configured to attach different types and sizes of the inlet tube 140 and the outlet tube 150 to the middle tube portion 1 10. For example, as shown in Figure 2, the inlet tube 140 is elbow shaped. Also, in some embodiments the reactor 100 is configured to attach the inlet tube 140 with a 4 inch diameter and the outlet tube 150 with a 5 inch diameter. The middle tube portion 1 10 of the reactor 100 can also be configured to any diameter to fit the engine size or mass flow rate of the exhaust traveling through the aftertreatment system.
In Figure 1 , the insulating layer 160 is provided to retain as much heat as possible within the reactor 100 to aid in decomposing nitrogen-oxide reductant in the exhaust stream. The insulating layer 160 is made up of a ceramic fiber in which higher temperature fibers are located closer to the outer surface of the middle tube portion 110, the inlet tube 140 and the outlet tube 150 during use of the reactor 100 in the aftertreatment system. The edges of the insulating layer 160 are coated with an erosion resistant material to prevent fiber migration during handling and use of the reactor 100.
The insulating layer 160 is further protected using the heat shields 170. The heat shields 170 surround an outer surface of the insulation layer 160 and are formed to compress and protect the insulation layer 160. The heat shields 170 include protective ends 172 to prevent any water from reaching the insulation layer 160. As shown in Figure 2, the heat shields 170 include ribs 174 to lock the heat shields 170 into shape to ensure a good fit during production. The heat shields 170 also include an indexing hole 176 for indexing the heat shields 170 during production. The heat shields 170 can be made from a low grade, low cost material as they are not intended to be in direct contact with the reductant traveling through an aftertreatment system. In one embodiment the heat shields 170 are formed with 439 stainless steel. In other embodiments, for example, the heat shields 170 can be formed of 409 or 304 stainless steel. The mixer 130, shown in Figure 1 , can be similar to the mixer described in US Patent Application Serial No. 12/237574, directed to a "REDUCTANT DECOMPOSITION MIXER AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME". The mixer 130 is housed within the reactor 100 using a floating fit. A floating fit as described herein is defined as placing the mixer into the reactor without welding or casting the mixer into the reactor 100. As shown in Figure 3, the location and orientation of the mixer 130 within the reactor 100 is fixed by a mixer indexing feature 1 15 cast into place at one end of the middle tube portion 1 10 near the outlet tube portion 150. The mixer 130 also includes a poke yoke orientation feature (not shown) that mates with a mixer orientation feature 1 17, thereby preventing the mixer 130 from being inserted backwards into the reactor 100 and allowing the mixer 130 to fit within the middle tube portion 1 10 without being welded or cast into place.
Figure 4A is a cross-sectional view of the reductant injector mount 120 formed using a casting method. The injector mount 120 has an inner surface 405 and an outer surface 410. The injector mount 120 includes an injector port 122, a tube like section 124 and an injector chamber 126 that includes a hard edge 128. The injector mount 120 is configured to inject a reductant via the injector port 122 into the middle tube portion 1 10 (shown in Figure 1). The injector mount 120 is oriented at an angle of approximately 35° with respect to the longitudinal axis 1 12 of the middle tube portion 1 10 (see Figure 1 ) to ensure that the reductant travels through the reactor 100 and consequently through the aftertreatment system. In other embodiments, the angle of the injector mount 120 with respect to the longitudinal axis 1 12 can be varied between 0° and 45° to provide an optimal flow of the reductant through the reactor 100. By forming the injector mount 120 with the middle tube portion 1 10 using a casting method as opposed to welding an injector mount to a reactor, the angle of the injector mount 120 with respect to the longitudinal axis 1 12 can be reduced and welding distortions between the injector mount 120 and the middle tube portion 1 10 can be prevented.
Figure 4B is a perspective view of the inner surface 405 of the reductant injector 120. As shown in Figure 4B, the tube like section 124 is a cavity in the casting with a first opening 123 near the injector port 122 and a second opening 1 14 into the middle tube portion 1 10. The tube like section is formed to taper toward the middle tube portion 1 10. In some embodiments, the tube like section 124 is a contoured cavity. The diameter of the tube like section 124 can be varied depending on a variety of factors (e.g., the engine size, the mass flow rate of the exhaust through the aftertreatment system, the diameter of the reactor 100, the angle of the injector mount 120 with respect to the longitudinal axis 1 12, the distance from the injector mount 120 to the center of the middle tube portion 1 10, the maximum exhaust temperature, etc.). In the embodiment of Figure 1 , the diameter of the tube like section 124 is 5 mm. In operation, the tube like section 124 is configured to allow air to flow up near the injector port 122 to create a high velocity, downward spiraling flow pattern to carry fine particles of the reductant away from the injector mount 120. Figure 5 is a velocity magnitude chart of a traditional injector mount 500. As shown in Figure 5, without a tube like section, the injector mount 500 creates a large recirculation region 525 for reductant sprayed through an injector port 522. This large recirculation section 525 results in the reductant coming to rest as it travels along an inner surface 505 of the injector mount 500, resulting in the formation of reductant deposits along the inner surface 505 of the injector mount 500.
Figure 6 is a velocity magnitude chart of the injector mount 120. As shown in Figure 6, the tube like section 124 creates high temperature, high velocity flows along the inner surface 405 of the injector mount 120, thereby preventing the formation of reductant deposits along the inner surface 405 of the injector mount 120. Furthermore, the hard edge 128 is configured to help prevent the recirculation regions 125 from circulating the reductant back to the injector port 122. Accordingly, a higher percentage of the reductant entering the injector port 122 will travel through the chamber 126 into the middle tube portion 1 10 (not shown) and through the aftertreatment system. The embodiments disclosed in this application are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not limitative. The scope of the invention is indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description; and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are intended to be embraced therein.
