HEAT RECOVERY DEVICE AND EXHAUST LINE FITTED WITH SUCH DEVICE
A heat recovery device comprises a valve body inwardly defining a direct flow path for exhaust gases from an inlet to an outlet, a heat exchanger comprising a flow passage for the exhaust gases emerging in an inlet zone of the valve body, and a gate positioned in the valve body. The heat recovery device comprises a guide wall positioned in the direct flow path at the inlet zone, arranged to guide the exhaust gases from the inlet toward the cutoff section away from the inlet zone when the gate frees the direct flow path, and delimiting at least one orifice to allow the exhaust gases to go to the inlet zone when the gate closes off the direct flow path.
After treatment system for a vehicle
An after treatment system (ATS) for a vehicle includes, fluidly connected in series, an inlet, a urea mixer and an outlet. The inlet is fluidly connected to an output of an engine of the vehicle and the outlet is fluidly connected to an outlet tube of the vehicle. The urea mixer is provided with a dosing module, an inner element and an outer element. The inner element is configured such that a first flow of exhaust gas flow flowing from the inlet into the urea mixer flows into an first volume defined by the inner element. The outer element is configured such that a second flow flows in a volume defined between inner element and outer element, wherein the first and second flows rejoin together in a mixing chamber fluidly connected to the volume and to the first volume downstream with respect inner and outer elements.
Exhaust aftertreatment sensor table mounting apparatus and method of installing the same
A sensor table mounting system includes an insulating blanket assembly and a senor table. The insulating blanket assembly is configured to surround an external housing surface of an exhaust aftertreatment component housing. The insulating blanket assembly includes an inner blanket surface, an outer blanket surface, and a first restraint. The outer blanket surface is opposite the inner blanket surface. The first restraint includes a first restraint first end that is fixed to the outer blanket surface. The sensor table includes a platform, a first standoff, a second standoff, a first footing, and a second footing. The first footing is offset from the platform by the first standoff and configured to be coupled to the first restraint. The second footing is offset from the platform by the second standoff and configured to be coupled to the first restraint.
DUAL CATALYTIC CONVERTER EXHAUST-GAS AFTERTREATMENT ARRANGEMENT
There is provided an exhaust-gas aftertreatment arrangement for an internal combustion engine comprising a first catalytic converter, a second catalytic converter arranged in parallel with the first catalytic converter, the first and second catalytic converters being arranged to receive exhaust gas from an engine, a connection pipe fluidly connecting an outlet of the second catalytic converter with an inlet of the first catalytic converter, thereby allowing a flow of exhaust gas through the connection pipe, and an outlet valve arranged in the outlet of the second catalytic converter and downstream of the location of the connection pipe, wherein the outlet valve is configured to control a flow of exhaust gas through the second catalytic converter. There is also provided a method for controlling an exhaust-gas aftertreatment arrangement.
Compact cylindrical selective catalytic reduction system for nitrogen oxide reduction in the oxygen-rich exhaust of 500 to 4500 kW internal combustion engines
A compact Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system comprising a system inlet, a gas flow system and a plurality of catalyst clusters is described. The system inlet is configured to utilize heat of the cleaned exhaust to vaporize a solution of a reductant, or a precursor of a reductant, and to mix the vaporized reductant with exhaust gas to form a mixed gas. The gas flow system is configured to provide the mixed gas from the system inlet to a plurality of catalyst clusters and to provide heat from the exhaust gas to assist in vaporization of the reductant/precursor and to assist in the conversion of the precursor to the reductant. The plurality of catalyst clusters comprise SCR and ASC catalysts but can also include filter functionality.
Exhaust gas purification device
An exhaust gas purification device having such a structure that exhaust gas can uniformly flow into without depending on a shape of an exhaust gas inlet pipe. A gas purification body which purifies the exhaust gas, a purification casing which accommodates the gas purification body, an exhaust gas inlet pipe which communicates with an exhaust gas inflow port of the purification casing, and an exhaust gas outlet pipe which communicates with an exhaust gas outflow port of the purification casing. The exhaust gas inlet pipe is attached to the purification casing in such a manner as to cover the exhaust gas inflow port and extend in a longitudinal direction of the purification casing. An introduction passage of the exhaust gas is formed by an outside surface of the purification casing and an inside surface of a pipe wall of the exhaust gas inlet pipe. A portion extending along the purification casing in the pipe wall is inclined so as to come close to the outside surface of the purification casing in proportion to heading for an exhaust gas outlet side from an exhaust gas inlet side.
THERMOELECTRIC GENERATING SYSTEM AND VEHICLE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAVING THE SAME
A thermoelectric generating system may include a base substrate configured to be installed at a side of a vehicle exhaust line part; and at least one thermoelectric module configured to be installed on a top surface of the base substrate, in which a side of the exhaust line part is provided with an opening communicating with an internal space of the exhaust line part, the base substrate is installed to seal the opening of the exhaust line part, and the base substrate is made of a thermal conductive material and a surface of the base substrate is formed with an insulating layer.
Industrial Vehicle
An engine exhaust system is accommodated in a counterweight portion without reducing either the efficiency of cooling by a radiator or the efficiency of purifying exhaust gas by an exhaust gas purification device. A body has a work device provided at the front and the counterweight portion at the rear. A ventilation path provided in the counterweight portion includes an elevated part formed between a bottom of a front portion and a bottom of a rear portion. The purification device and a muffler are disposed in the rear portion of the ventilation path so as to be positioned one above the other with the purification device lying above the muffler and having an upper portion protruding above the bottom of the front portion of the ventilation path. A windbreak plate made from a heat insulating material is disposed forward from the purification device so as to face the latter.
MULTIPLE HEATER EXHAUST AFTERTREATMENT SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE AND METHODS OF CONTROL THEREOF
A system includes a first heater positioned in or proximate to an exhaust aftertreatment system in exhaust gas-receiving communication with an engine, a second heater positioned downstream of the first heater, and a controller coupled to the first and second heaters. The controller is structured to determine, based on information indicative of a temperature regarding the exhaust aftertreatment system, that the temperature is below a temperature threshold; receive information regarding a characteristic of a battery coupled to the first heater and the second heater; control the temperature regarding the exhaust aftertreatment system without using the first or second heaters in response to determining that the characteristic of the battery is below a first threshold; and control a temperature regarding the exhaust aftertreatment system using the first heater in response to determining that the characteristic of the battery is above the first threshold but below a second threshold.
