Mixer, Mixer Assembly and Mixing Method
A mixer, a mixer assembly and a mixing method in which the mixer comprises a shell defining a first space, the first space receives engine exhaust, and the shell has a mounting area located on a wall of the shell; a doser mounting base arranged in the mounting area for mounting the doser, wherein the doser mounting base comprises a spray inlet as an inlet end for the spray that is sprayed by the doser entering the first space, and the doser mounting base further comprises a first swirl structure that surrounds the spray inlet to make the exhaust form a swirl around the spray inlet.
Dosing and mixing arrangement for use in exhaust aftertreatment
Dosing and mixing exhaust gas includes directing exhaust gas towards a periphery of a mixing tube that is configured to direct the exhaust gas to flow around and through the mixing tube to effectively mix and dose exhaust gas within a relatively small area. Some mixing tubes include a slotted region and a non-slotted region. Some mixing tubes include a louvered region and a non-louvered region. Some mixing tubes are offset within a mixing region of a housing.
Mixing device
A mixer assembly for mixing an injected reductant with an exhaust gas comprises a tubular housing including a reductant inlet, an exhaust gas inlet and an exhaust gas outlet. The reductant inlet is positioned on a first side of the tubular housing and oriented to direct injected reductant along an injection access that extends transversely to a longitudinal axis. A first flow guide element is shaped as a sheet including a first aperture extending therethrough as well as a surface facing upstream. Exhaust gas flowing through the first aperture is impinged by the injected redundant. A second flow guide element is shaped as a sheet, positioned downstream from the first flow guide element and fixed to the first flow guide element to define a mixing chamber between the first flow guide element and the second flow guide element in which the injected redundant and the exhaust gas mix.
Mixing device for mixing a spray from an injector into a gas and system comprising same
A mixing device includes a mixing cavity having a partially open wall and a closed wall. In certain examples, the partially open wall and the closed wall are two separately formed pieces. A downstream side of the mixing device is shaped so as to define a helicoidal groove for circumferentially guiding gas from an outlet opening of the mixing cavity in a downstream direction. An injector sprays reactant into the mixing cavity.
MIXER
A mixer for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine for mixing exhaust gas and reactant includes a mixing chamber, a reactant dispensing arrangement for dispensing reactant into the mixing chamber axially between an upstream mixer wall and a downstream mixer wall, an inlet opening arrangement in the upstream mixer wall, an outlet opening arrangement in the downstream mixer wall, a flow guiding arrangement arranged between the upstream mixer wall and the downstream mixer wall, wherein the flow guiding arrangement provides a first flow path leading from the inlet opening arrangement to the outlet opening arrangement and a second flow path leading from the inlet opening arrangement to the outlet opening arrangement, wherein each flow path has at least two flow channels leading from the inlet opening arrangement to the outlet opening arrangement.
LONG-EFFECT SELF-CLEANING NEGATIVE-PRESSURE EJECTOR
A long-effect self-cleaning negative-pressure ejector at least comprises a suction chamber, a jet pipe and a flushing member. A side wall of the suction chamber has at least one suction port for communicating with a first fluid pipeline. An exit port of the jet pipe is disposed in the suction chamber and ejects a second fluid so that a negative pressure is generated in the suction chamber, a first fluid in the first fluid pipeline obliquely enters the suction chamber, and a first included angle is between a direction in which the first fluid being sucked into the suction chamber and an ejection direction of the second fluid. The flushing member optionally provides a third fluid to flush the suction chamber and/or the first fluid pipeline. At least one air jet nozzle is disposed on the first fluid pipeline to inject gas into the first fluid pipeline.
Mixing conduits including swirler vanes for use within an exhaust treatment system
A mixing conduit for use within an exhaust treatment system of a work vehicle. The mixing conduit is configured to receive engine exhaust and a mixture of engine exhaust and reductant. The mixing conduit includes an outer tube and an inner tube within the outer tube. Each tube extends lengthwise from upstream ends to downstream ends of the inner and outer tubes, respectively. The inner tube includes an exterior surface, and the outer tube includes an interior surface. The inner tube defines an inner flowpath within the inner tube. The outer tube and inner tube also define an outer flowpath radially between the exterior surface of the inner tube and the interior surface of the outer tube. The mixing conduit further includes one or more swirler vanes extending radially between the exterior surface of the inner tube and the interior surface of the outer tube and within the outer flowpath.
EXHAUST GAS/REACTANT MIXING DEVICE
An exhaust gas/reactant mixing arrangement for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine mixes exhaust gas and reactant. The mixing arrangement includes an exhaust gas guide housing defining a longitudinal axis and having a housing wall. An exhaust gas duct is surrounded by the housing wall and exhaust gas can flow therethrough. A mixing zone has a mixing chamber formed between an upstream end wall and a downstream end wall and a reactant dispensing arrangement is supported on the exhaust gas guide housing. The reactant dispensing arrangement dispenses reactant into the mixing chamber along a reactant dispensing line in a dispensing direction. A mixture flow path leads from an inflow opening to an outflow opening and is formed in the mixing chamber. The mixture flow path has two flow deflection regions, which follow one another in a mixture flow direction and have mutually opposite flow deflection directions.
Vortex generators and virtual mixers for aftertreatment systems
An aftertreatment system for treating constituents of an exhaust gas produced by an engine, comprising: a housing; a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system disposed within the housing; a reductant injector disposed on a sidewall of the housing upstream of the SCR system and configured to insert a reductant into the exhaust gas; and a vortex generator disposed in the housing, the vortex generator comprising at least one deflector disposed on a surface within the housing, the at least one deflector configured to generate vortices in a portion of the exhaust gas flow flowing over the at least one deflector such that the portion of the exhaust gas remains attached to the surface at a downstream location of the surface.
Vehicle exhaust system mixer with flexible doser mount
A component for a mixer of a vehicle exhaust system, according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a doser mount comprising a curved body having a center boss with a doser opening defining a doser axis. The curved body includes at least a first mating surface configured to receive a first mixer shell defined by a first dimension and a second mating surface configured to receive a second mixer shell defined by a second dimension different than the first dimension.
