EXHAUST FLUID INJECTOR ASSEMBLY
An injector for a diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) delivery system includes a first conduit extending along a longitudinal direction; a second conduit extending along the longitudinal direction and disposed within the first conduit; a nozzle tip having a side wall and an end wall; and a shell surrounding the first conduit and being spaced apart from the first conduit along a radial direction. The side wall has a thickness extending along the radial direction from an external surface of the nozzle tip to an inner surface of the second conduit. The end wall defines an outlet flow passage therethrough, and the outlet flow passage is in fluid communication with the first conduit and the second conduit via a chamber defined by an internal surface of the nozzle tip.
Systems and methods of engine exhaust air injection before and after catalytic converters
Engine systems and methods use a dual air injection approach to control exhaust reactions and to maintain temperatures below a maximum limit of exhaust system components during engine enrichment operation conditions. Dual air injectors are disposed in the exhaust system with one upstream from, and another downstream from, the catalytic converter. Providing air injection before and/or after the converter helps convert all HC, CO, and PM emissions while keeping the catalyst temperature below the catalyst protection temperature limit. Air injection quantity may be controlled and diagnosed by monitoring the temperatures before and after the catalytic converter. The catalytic converter may be a three-way catalytic converter for lower cost or a downstream two-way catalytic converter may be added if further emission reduction is necessary.
NOx REDUCTION SYSTEM
A system and method for reducing the nitrogen oxides found in the exhaust produced by a vehicle engine, the system comprising a NOx trap and a first adding means for adding a reducing agent to the exhaust gas. The first adding means is positioned downstream of the engine and either upstream of or within the NOx trap.
Exhaust Gas Heat Exchange for Ammonia Evaporation Using a Heat Pipe
A heat pipe has a first portion positioned within an exhaust path of a gas turbine exhaust processing system and a second portion positioned in a heat exchange relationship with a flow path of a heat exchange fluid. The flow path of the heat exchange fluid includes an ammonia evaporator configured to evaporate ammonia received from an ammonia source. The heat pipe is configured to transfer thermal energy from exhaust gas in the exhaust path to the heat exchange fluid to enable the heat exchange fluid to vaporize the ammonia while cooling the exhaust gas to enable the gas turbine exhaust processing system to more effectively process the exhaust gas.
Reductant injecting device, exhaust gas processing device and exhaust gas processing method
A reductant injecting device includes: a honeycomb structure comprising: a pillar shaped honeycomb structure portion having a partition wall that defines a plurality of cells each extending from a fluid inflow end face to a fluid outflow end face; and at least one pair of electrode portions arranged on a side surface of the honeycomb structure portion; an inner cylinder being configured to house the honeycomb structure; a urea sprayer arranged at one end of the inner cylinder; and an outer cylinder arranged on an outer peripheral side of the inner cylinder, the outer cylinder being spaced apart from the inner cylinder. A flow path through which the carrier gas passes is formed between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder.
Exhaust gas electrochemical energy recovery system
The present invention is directed at the integration of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) into the exhaust stream of an internal combustion engine aided by the upstream injection of a fuel, such as a hydrocarbon fuel. The internal combustion engine may be advantageously operated in a lean condition while the SOFC receives the hydrocarbon fuel to promote and maintain optimized fuel cell operation.
Method for purifying exhaust gas
The present invention provide a method for purifying exhaust gas in which nitrogen oxides (NOx) gas is removed from a combustion exhaust gas. The method for purifying exhaust gas according to the invention is characterized in that water vapor is further added to raw exhaust gas to be processed to increase the water vapor concentration in the exhaust gas and the resulting moisture-adjusted exhaust gas is introduced into a denitration catalyst layer. The water vapor concentration in the moisture-adjusted exhaust gas is preferably 22.0% by volume or less in the total of the water vapor originally contained in the raw exhaust gas and the added water vapor.
EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD
An exhaust treatment system includes a dust-removal system. The dust-removal system has an electric field device (1021) and an exhaust cooling device. The electric field device (1021) includes an inlet of the electric field device, an outlet of the electric field device, a dust-removal electric field cathode (10212), and a dust-removal electric field anode (10211), the dust-removal electric field cathode (10212) and the dust-removal electric field anode (10211) being used for generating an ionization dust-removal electric field. The exhaust cooling device is used for reducing an exhaust temperature before the inlet of the electric field device. An exhaust dust-removal system facilitates to reduce greenhouse gas emission, and also facilitates to reduce hazardous gas and pollutant emission, so that gas emission is more environment-friendly.
GAS ENGINE HEAT PUMP AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the gas engine heat pump includes: an engine for burning a mixture of air and fuel; an exhaust gas compressor for compressing exhaust gases coming from the engine; a buffer tank for storing the exhaust gases compressed by the exhaust gas compressor; an exhaust gas valve disposed between the buffer tank and an intake manifold of the engine; an exhaust gas spray nozzle for spraying the exhaust gases stored in the buffer tank into a cylinder of the engine; an exhaust gas sensor for acquiring information on the exhaust gases coming from the engine; and a controller, wherein the controller controls the operation of at least one of the exhaust gas valve and the exhaust gas spray nozzle, based on the information on the exhaust gases acquired by the exhaust gas sensor. Other various embodiments are possible.
System and process for delivering controlled quantities of ammonia to ammonia-consuming devices
Centralizing the handling and manipulating of vaporization medium to a single subsystem that supplies multiple ammonia vaporizers allows for efficient and effective production of a corresponding vaporized ammonia stream containing a controlled quantity of ammonia. These vaporized ammonia streams can then be used in conjunction with ammonia-consuming devices to reduce NOx in NOx-containing exhaust streams from multiple furnaces.
