Method of increasing volumetric throughput of an internal combustion engines used in vapor destruction applications
A method and device for controlling emissions of VOC's comprises transporting VOC's to an engine and transporting the exhaust from the engine into a manifold. Supplemental air is transporting into the manifold and heat is transferred from the exhaust to the supplemental air within the manifold. The supplemental air is mixed with the exhaust and the mixture is transferred to a pollution abatement device.
EXHAUST PURIFICATION SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
The present disclosure provides an exhaust purification system including: an engine; a lean NOx trap (LNT) mounted on an exhaust pipe and enable to absorb nitrogen oxide (NOx) contained in an exhaust gas at a lean air/fuel ratio, or to release the absorbed NOx at a rich air/fuel ratio; a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst provided downstream of the LNT so as to reduce the NOx contained in the exhaust gas; a controller to perform denitrification (DeNOx) by using the LNT and/or the SCR catalyst based on a driving condition of the engine; a first oxygen sensor disposed between the engine and the LNT to detect an oxygen amount in the exhaust gas; a second oxygen sensor disposed between the LNT and the SCR catalyst to detect an oxygen amount in the exhaust gas exhausted from the LNT; and an air injection device selectively injecting air into the exhaust pipe.
Exhaust Sampling System Including A Mixer That Mixes Exhaust Gas And Dilution Gas
A mixing system for an exhaust sampling system is disclosed. In one example, the mixing system includes a mixing passage, an exhaust pipe, and a mixer. The mixing passage has a dilution gas inlet configured to receive a dilution gas. The exhaust pipe provides exhaust gas to the mixing passage. The mixer is disposed within the mixing passage and is configured to mix the dilution gas and the exhaust gas. The mixer has an inlet and an outlet, where the mixer inlet is configured to receive the exhaust gas, and the mixer outlet is disposed downstream of the mixer inlet. The mixer includes a plurality of radially extending lobes that are circumferentially disposed about a longitudinal axis of the mixer.
Operating method for a particle filter
The systems and methods herein relate the operation of a particle filter which is arranged in an exhaust-gas path of an internal combustion engine, to a device for exhaust-gas aftertreatment which can be operated in accordance with the method that comprises determining a mass flow rate of an exhaust-gas flow flowing in the exhaust-gas path; and supplying ambient air into the exhaust-gas path as a function of the determined mass flow rate. By this method, the spontaneous regeneration of a particle filter within the exhaust system may be abated.
Turbocharger
A turbocharger has compressor arrangement configured to compress the fresh air of an internal combustion engine. The turbocharger has at least one compressor housing (with a fresh air inlet) and a fresh air outlet. At least one compressor impeller is arranged in the compressor housing, and with at least one exhaust gas turbine for driving the compressor arrangement, with at least one turbine housing with an exhaust gas inlet and an exhaust gas outlet. At least one turbine wheel is arranged in the turbine housing. A heated catalytic converter is configured to at least partially convert supplied fuel with fresh air and/or exhaust gas. The heated catalytic converter includes a catalytic converter housing with a gas inlet and a gas outlet and a fuel inlet. The catalytic converter housing and the compressor housing and/or the turbine housing are in thermal contact on at least one part surface.
Installation structure for air control device
An installation structure for an air control device, the air control device being configured to control supply of secondary air from an air cleaner to an exhaust passage of an engine. A cylinder head is located above the engine. A cylinder head cover is installed on the cylinder head. A fuel tank is installed above the cylinder head cover. The air control device is installed on a lateral side of the cylinder head cover below the fuel tank.
Dilution gas mixing unit and exhaust gas analysis system
A dilution gas mixing unit that is used in an exhaust gas analysis system that analyzes the mixed gas obtained by diluting an exhaust gas with the dilution gas, and mixes the dilution gas with the exhaust gas is provided with a dilution gas supply pipe that is connected to an exhaust gas introduction pipe into which the exhaust gas is introduced and supplies the dilution gas to the exhaust gas introduction pipe, a dilution gas sampling unit that is provided in the dilution gas supply pipe and collects the dilution gas, and a backflow prevention member that is provided closer to the exhaust gas introduction pipe than the dilution gas sampling unit in the dilution gas supply pipe and prevents the mixed gas from flowing backward through the dilution gas supply pipe.
