Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for providing a mixture of compressed air and liquid reducing agent.
- a reducing agent precursor solution which can be converted to form ammonia. This takes place thermally in the exhaust gas and/or with the aid of a catalytic reactor, which may be arranged within and/or outside the exhaust gas.
- a reducing agent precursor solution use may be made, for example, of an
- aqueous urea solution Particularly commonly used is a 32.5 % urea- water solution available under the trade name AdBlue ® .
- AdBlue ® AdBlue ®
- the expressions "reducing agent” and “reducing agent precursor” will hereinafter be used synonymously for one another.
- the reducing agent is supplied to an exhaust-gas treatment device normally by means of an injection device. It has been found that it may be advantageous for the reducing agent to be injected not in pure form but rather as a mixture of reducing agent and air. This is advantageous on the one hand because particularly high temperatures arise in the region of
- the exhaust-gas treatment device Said high temperatures are often transferred to the injection device for the injection of the reducing agent. In this way, a chemical change or partial conversion of the reducing agent into ammonia can occur already in the injection device.
- the injection of the reducing agent together with compressed air as a carrier medium re- suits in particularly effective flushing and cooling of the injection device. Furthermore, the reducing agent remains in the injection device for a relatively short time. A chemical reaction of the reducing agent in the injection device is prevented in this way.
- the injection of the reducing agent together with compressed air furthermore improves the distribution of the reducing agent in the exhaust- gas treatment device.
- the spray mist generated during the injection is finer as a result of the compressed air.
- a problem for the supply of the reducing agent together with air is often the generation of the mixture.
- the reducing agent/air mixture should be distributed as homogeneously as possible in the exhaust-gas treatment device.
- Depositions may arise for example in the form of crystalline urea precipitations out of the reducing agent.
- Such depositions block the mixing point and change the flow conditions. Furthermore, such depositions can dissolve and cause damage both at the mixing point and also in the injection device.
- the invention relates to a device for providing a mixture of compressed air and liquid reducing agent, having a first inflow duct for reducing agent and having a second inflow duct for compressed air, having an outlet duct for the mixture and having a mixing point at which compressed air and reducing agent are merged. Also provided is a mixing duct which adjoins the mixing point and which connects the mixing point and the outlet duct, wherein the first inflow duct opens into the mixing point in an axial direction, and the second inflow duct is connected to the mixing point via at least one injection duct, wherein the at least one injection duct opens into the mixing point in a tangential direction.
- the at least one injection duct opens into the mixing point preferably over a circumferential segment of the mixing point and/or of the mixing duct and/or of the first inflow duct.
- Both the first inflow duct and also the second inflow duct may have in each case one valve which serves for dosing the quantity of compressed air and reducing agent.
- Said valves need not be a constituent part of the device according to the invention.
- the valves may for example also be a constituent part of a pump module to which the device according to the invention can be connected.
- the reducing agent is supplied to the first inflow duct typically at a pressure of 3 to 7 bar.
- the compressed air is supplied to the second inflow duct typically at a pressure of 3 to 5 bar.
- the pressure of the reducing agent may fluctuate intensely during the operation of the device.
- the average pressure of the reducing agent during operation is generally lower than the average pressure of the compressed air.
- the average pressure of the reducing agent in the first inflow duct is preferably between 3.0 and 3.5 bar.
- the average pressure of the compressed air in the second inflow duct is preferably between 3.5 and 4.0 bar.
- the mixing point is preferably a region, in which the compressed air is supplied, of a flow path for the reducing agent through the device.
- the at least one mixing duct is preferably formed directly adjoining the mixing point.
- the first inflow duct for reducing agent and the mixing duct preferably merge directly into one another, wherein the mixing point forms the transition from the first inflow duct to the mixing duct and the first inflow duct and the mixing duct predefine the flow path for reducing agent.
- the exact position of the mixing point, or the exact location at which the continuous flow path is referred to no longer as the first inflow duct but rather as the mixing duct, may be defined by the position of the supply of compressed air.
- the position of the mixing point may therefore be defined by the opening point of the at least one injection duct.
- a widening in the flow path of the first inflow duct and/or of the mixing duct may be defined as a mixing point.
- the compressed air is supplied to the mixing point via at least one injec- tion duct.
- Compressed air is supplied to an injection duct via a second inflow duct for compressed air.
- the at least one injection duct is preferably narrowed at least in sections. This means that the at least one injection duct or the multiplicity of injection ducts has a total cross-sectional area smaller than the cross-sectional area of the second inflow duct for compressed air. In this way, it can be ensured that the compressed air is accelerated in the region of the at least one injection duct and is therefore supplied, having been accelerated, to the mixing point. Particularly fine atomization of the reducing agent by the compressed air is attained in this way.
- the second inflow duct preferably opens firstly into a collecting region, from which the at least one injection duct branches off.
- the injection duct opens into the mixing point preferably over a circumferential segment. That is to say in particular that the at least one injection duct opens into an imaginary circumferential surface of the duct around the mixing point.
- the flow direction of the reducing agent or the alignment of the first inflow duct and the alignment of the mixing duct define an axial direction in relation to which the tangential direction is defined.
- the first inflow duct or the mixing duct has, in the region of the mixing point, the shape of a pipe with a circumferential surface and an axis or central line.
- the axis or central line defines the axial direction.
- the at least one injection duct then opens into a circumferential segment of the circumferential surface of the pipe, of the mixing point, of the mixing duct or of the first inflow duct.
- the device is particularly advantageous if the compressed air is supplied to the mixing point in such a way that a compressed-air jacket is formed around the reducing agent in the region of the mixing point. If the com- pressed air is supplied to the mixing point via the injection ducts over a circumferential segment, the compressed air at the mixing point directly after the injection through the injection ducts is already situated at the outside around the reducing agent, or around a reducing agent flow.
- the mixing point, the first inflow duct, the mixing duct and/or the injection ducts are now preferably designed such that said state is at least predominantly maintained.
- the reducing agent hereby remains preferably in a central region of the mixing point or of the mixing duct.
- the compressed air forms a compressed-air jacket which surrounds the reducing agent at least partially or in sections.
- a configuration may be attained for example by virtue of the compressed air forcing the reducing agent towards a central region of the mixing point, and the mixing point being designed such that swirl formations between the reducing agent and compressed air are substantially prevented as far as into an outer edge region of the mixing point.
- the device is furthermore advantageous if two injection ducts open tan- gentially into the mixing point in a circumferential segment, wherein a guide structure is arranged between the injection ducts, which guide structure is suitable for deflecting the compressed-air flows which enter into the mixing point through the injection ducts into a radial direction with respect to the reducing agent flow.
- a guide structure is arranged between the injection ducts, which guide structure is suitable for deflecting the compressed-air flows which enter into the mixing point through the injection ducts into a radial direction with respect to the reducing agent flow.
- the mixing duct is at a first angle of 45 ° to 85 ° with respect to the axial direction of the first inflow duct.
- Said first angle is preferably situated directly downstream of the mixing point or still in the region of the mixing point.
- the reducing agent flow is thus mixed with the compressed-air flow and simultaneously deflected.
- Said deflection takes place preferably counter to the tangential direction in which the at least one injection duct opens into the mixing point.
- the deflection obtained by means of the first angle however takes place in a radial direction in which the compressed-air flows are deflected by a guide structure at the mixing point.
- the deflection of the reducing agent by the first angle of 45 ° to 85 ° can be assisted by the compressed air.
- the compressed air forces the reducing agent in the direction of the first angle.
- Contact of the reducing agent with the mixing point or with the mixing duct and/or with the wall of the mixing point or the wall of the mixing duct can thereby be prevented.
- the device is also advantageous if the mixing duct has a profile which is curved away from the outlet duct, and a second angle of 50 ° to 90 ° is formed between the outlet duct and the mixing duct.
- outlet duct is aligned parallel to the first inflow duct.
- a further deflection of the reducing agent or of the mixture by a second angle preferably takes place after the first angle. Said deflection takes place subsequently to the mixing duct or between the mixing duct and the outlet duct.
- the mixing duct preferably has a profile which is curved (in relation to the axial direction). The curvature, predefined by the first angle, in the region of the mixing point is preferably continued in similar fashion in the mixing duct.
- the mixing duct preferably has a curvature of 5 ° to 10 ° over its entire length.
- the second angle is therefore advantageously slightly larger than the first angle.
- the second angle is preferably between 50 ° and 90 ° .
- the first inflow duct and the mixing duct, viewed together, are preferably in an S-shaped configuration. A particularly compact design of the device can be obtained in this way.
- the device according to the invention is furthermore advantageous if the first inflow duct and the second inflow duct are arranged parallel to one another.
- the first inflow duct and the second inflow duct preferably have ports arranged directly adjacent to one another.
- the device may thus be mounted in a particularly simple manner on a device for providing compressed air and for providing reducing agent or on a flat or planar mount- ing plate.
- a device for providing compressed air and reducing agent may for example be a pump module which has a contact surface for the device according to the invention.
- the device is furthermore advantageous if the mixing point and the mixing duct are formed by polymer material. With a polymer material a plastic material or a rubber material is meant, for example. A durable high- performance plastic is preferably used for this purpose.
- a particularly advantageous plastic in this context is PPS (polyphenylene sulphide) which is available for example under the trade name Fortron ® .
- the plastic preferably has a certain degree of flexibility in the pressure range encountered in the mixing duct.
- the pressure range lies between 3 and 8 bar.
- reducing agent is chemically highly aggressive.
- the described plastic has particularly high chemical resistance with respect to reducing agent.
- the invention also claims a method for mixing liquid reducing agent and compressed air to form a mixture, having at least the following steps: a) generating a reducing agent flow,
- Steps a) to e) are carried out preferably in the stated sequence along the flow direction of the reducing agent.
- step a) the reducing agent flow is generated for example by virtue of liquid reducing agent being provided through a first inflow duct.
- step b) a compressed-air jacket can then be generated around the reducing agent flow by virtue of the compressed air being supplied in a tangential direction over a circumferential segment at a mixing point. The compressed air is then situated substantially around the reducing agent. A particularly well-defined jacket flow is thereby formed.
- the compressed-air jacket During the introduction of the jacket flow into the mixing duct during step c), it is preferable for the compressed-air jacket to substantially not be penetrated, such that the reducing agent does not pass to an excessive extent into the outer region of the jacket flow. It is thereby possible for depositions of the reducing agent in the device in which the method according to the invention takes place to be effectively reduced or even prevented.
- the mixing of the compressed-air jacket and reducing agent flow in step d) takes place preferably not turbulently but rather laminarly, or by diffusion, at least over a portion of the common flow path. It is thus possible to prevent reducing agent from passing in an uncontrolled manner into the outer region of the jacket flow.
- the mixing duct is preferably designed so as to have an approximately circular cross-sectional shape directly downstream of the mixing point where step b) takes place. This makes it particularly easy for the jacket flow with the compressed-air jacket to be generated and maintained.
- the cross section of the jacket flow is preferably flattened in the direction of an outlet duct where a mixture jet is provided. A corresponding situation is achieved for example by means of a design of a mixing duct in which the mixing duct is of circular design on the side of the mixing point and merges continuously into a flattened shape on the side of the outlet duct.
- the flattening of the mixing duct makes it difficult to maintain the compressed-air jacket around the reducing agent flow, it does however promote mixing- through of reducing agent and compressed air.
- the flattening of the cross section of the mixing duct in particular shortens diffusion paths for the compressed air into the reducing agent.
- the increased risk of reducing agent passing through the compressed-air jacket in the flattened region is reduced in the vicinity of the outlet duct in that substantial mixing- through of compressed air and reducing agent has already taken place.
- Concentrated reducing agent is no longer present there, rather only reducing agent which has already been partially mixed through with compressed air. Concentrated reducing agent can therefore no longer pass through the compressed-air jacket in said region.
- the provision of the mixture flow in step e) takes place preferably via a port to which a line for conducting the mixture to an injection device can be connected.
- the injection device is designed preferably to supply the mixture to an exhaust-gas treatment device.
- the erosive impact is reduced which the reducing agent otherwise might have on the device and in particular on the mixing point and/or the mixing duct.
- the direction of flow of the reducing agent flow is aligned at least partially parallel to the wall of the mixing point and/or the mixing duct by the compressed-air jacket.
- crystalline excretions in the reducing agent flow which comprise (solid) urea and/or ammonia precursors, for example. In case these (solid) excretions strike against the wall of the mixing point and/or the mixing duct with high velocity and with correspondingly high kinetic energy, erosion of the wall occurs.
- the compressed-air jacket also reduces the chemical effect of the reducing agent on the device and in particular on the mixing point and/or the mixing duct.
- the compressed-air jacket insulates the wall of the mixing point and/or of the mixing duct at least partially from the reducing agent flow. Additionally, the reducing agent flow can then not act chemically on the wall.
- the ratio of the amount of compressed air in the compressed air flow to the amount of reducing agent in the reducing agent flow a maximum concentration of reducing agent in the mixture flow can be adjusted. This maximum concentration can be adjusted in such a manner that the forming of crystalline excretions in the mixture flow is avoided extensively.
- the reducing agent respectively the reducing agent flow is carried out of the mixing point and/or of the mixing duct.
- the pressure air flow carries out the reducing agent flow from the device, in particular the mixing point and the mixing duct, completely.
- the method is also advantageous if the jacket jet is deflected, before step c), by an angle of 45 ° to 85 ° . It has been found that the jacket flow is made particularly stable in particular by means of a deflection directly after being generated, and turbulence in the jacket flow can be particularly effectively eliminated.
- step d) the compressed- air jacket is supplied to the reducing agent flow such that the reducing agent flow is converted preferably continuously into a mixture flow, wherein the mixture flow, during the conversion, is expanded and the compressed-air jacket is depleted, wherein the mixture flow first comes into contact with the mixing duct when the compressed-air jacket has been at least 90 % depleted.
- the compressed-air jacket is supplied to the reducing agent flow or to the mixture flow.
- the depletion of the compressed-air jacket or the supply of the compressed air to the mixture flow takes place preferably by means of substantially laminar flows, or by diffusion.
- the presence of a laminar flow of reducing agent and compressed air may be obtained by means of a suitable selec- tion of the Reynolds number, of the reducing agent flow or of the compressed-air flow and of the mixture flow.
- the Reynolds number may in turn be influenced by the design of the mixing chamber.
- the invention also claims a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine, an exhaust-gas treatment device for the purification of the exhaust gases of the internal combustion engine, a reducing agent source and a compressed-air source and a device according to the invention for producing a mixture of reducing agent and compressed air, which mixture can be supplied to the exhaust-gas treatment device.
- the device in the motor vehicle is in particular also suitable for carrying out a method according to the invention.
