FLEXIBLE FUEL GENERATOR AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
A portable flexible fuel generator, having an engine, includes: a cylinder and a spark plug in the cylinder, a primary fuel tank fluidly connected to the cylinder, an air intake path fluidly connecting atmosphere to the cylinder, a start module including a starting fuel tank holder and a starting fuel line, where the starting fuel line is fluidly connected to the air intake path, a coolant path which provide a flow path for coolant to cool the cylinder, and a thermal controller along the coolant path. Furthermore, the engine has full cylinder cooling.
CONDENSATE DISCHARGING SYSTEM FOR AN EXHAUST-GAS MEASURING DEVICE
A condensate discharge system for an exhaust gas measuring device. The condensate discharge system includes a condensate separator in which a positive pressure prevails, an outflow line in which atmospheric pressure prevails, a connecting line, and an intermediate reservoir in which the positive pressure prevails. The intermediate reservoir is arranged between the condensate separator and the outflow line and is directly connected to the condensate separator via the connecting line. The intermediate reservoir includes a float valve via which a condensate is dischargeable into the outflow line.
System For Neutralizing The PH Of Exhaust Condensate
A water neutralization system that includes a first source of water that is acidic and a second source of water that is basic. A storage reservoir communicates with each of the first source and the second source, and includes a pH sensor that is configured to transmit a signal indicative of a pH of the water stored in the storage reservoir. At least one valve controls fluid communication between the storage reservoir and at least one of the first source and the second source, and a controller communicates with each of the pH sensor and the valve. Based on the signal indicative of the pH of the water stored in the storage reservoir, the controller instructs the valve to adjust an amount of water received from at least one of the first source and the second source to neutralize a pH of the water stored in the storage reservoir.
Exhaust pipe structure
An exhaust pipe structure includes a first pipe portion, a second pipe portion, and a third pipe portion. The first pipe portion is arranged below a floor panel of the vehicle, and extends in a horizontal direction in a vehicle side view. The second pipe portion communicates with a front end of the first pipe portion, and has a bottom portion recessed downward below a lower end of the front end and a top portion protruding downward below an upper end of the front end. The third pipe portion communicates with a rear end of the first pipe portion, and has a bottom portion recessed downward below a lower end of the rear end and a top portion protruding downward below an upper end of the rear end.
Movable emission control system for auxiliary diesel engines
A mobile emissions control system having an emission capturing system and emission control system is provided for diesel engines operated on ocean-going ships at-berth. The emissions control system may be mounted on a towable chassis or mounted on a barge, allowing it to be placed alongside ocean-going ships at-berth. A crane or boom transfers a duct of the emissions capturing system extending from the emissions control system to the ship to capture exhaust from its engine. Alternatively, the system may be mounted on an automated guided vehicle (AGV) equipped with a tower and a crane. The crane mounted on the AGV then lifts the duct forming part of the emissions capture system to the ship's exhaust system to capture exhaust from the ship's diesel engine and transfers it to the emissions control system, which cleans the exhaust and then passes clean air into the atmosphere through an exhaust outlet.
System for cooling exhaust gas with absorption chiller
A gas turbine system includes a gas turbine engine configured to combust a fuel and produce an exhaust gas. An exhaust duct assembly is coupled to the gas turbine engine and is configured to receive the exhaust gas. An absorption chiller is fluidly coupled to the exhaust duct assembly and is configured to receive a take-off stream of the exhaust gas. The absorption chiller is configured to use the take-off stream to drive at least a portion of an absorption cooling process to generate a cooled take-off stream of exhaust gas. The exhaust duct assembly is configured to receive the cooled take-off stream of exhaust gas from the absorption chiller and to mix the cooled take-off stream with exhaust gas present within the exhaust duct assembly to cool the exhaust gas.
Internal combustion engine system
An internal combustion engine, ICE, system for a vehicle includes an ICE operable on hydrogen; an exhaust gas aftertreatment system, EATS, arranged in an exhaust gas circuit downstream the ICE, said EATS having at least one NOx reduction device and/or a particulate filter, and an exhaust gas water recovery, EWR, system arranged at least partly downstream the EATS in the exhaust gas circuit, said EWR system having at least a primary exhaust cooler and a water separator; a waste heat recovery, WHR, system for providing a rankine cycle, said WHR system being arranged to transport a working fluid, WF, through the primary exhaust cooler of the EWR system; a low temperature coolant circuit in fluid communication with an exhaust condenser of the EWR system; and a water management system arranged to collect water from the EWR system and transport water to at least one combustion chamber of the ICE.
ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS FOR REDUCING PARTICULATE MATTER, HYDROCARBONS, AND GASEOUS OXIDES FROM INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE EXHAUST
Exhaust generated from an internal combustion engine includes particulates and gas-phase volatile hydrocarbon condensables. The exhaust is cooled in an exhaust gas cooler from a first temperature to a second temperature such that a first portion of the gas-phase volatile hydrocarbon condensables in the exhaust condense to the liquid phase and a second portion of the gas-phase volatile hydrocarbon condensables in the exhaust condense on black carbon particles to form semivolatile brown carbon particulates. Some or all of the liquid-phase volatile hydrocarbon condensables and the semivolatile brown carbon particulates are trapped in a gasoline particulate filter or a catalyzed gasoline particulate filter located downstream of the exhaust gas cooler.
Modular plasma reformer treatment system
A modular plasma treatment system has interchangeable and easily accessible inner and outer electrodes that concentrically nest within an outer housing of one or more plasma reformers. The inner and outer electrodes have self-centering features that allow for blind-fitting of the interchangeable inner and outer electrodes during electrode replacement and maintenance. A plurality of reformers that generate different types of plasmas are preferably arranged serially to allow for a mixture of separate plasmas within the same reaction area and to increase utilization of short-lived radicals.
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION SYSTEM
An exhaust gas recirculation system comprises an exhaust gas cooler (1) downstream of which a condenser (2) is disposed through which flows fresh air (7).
