An apparatus and method for recovering heat and water vapor from a waste gas stream. A waste gas passageway directs waste gas over a plurality of membrane tubes extending across the waste gas passageway. Each of the membrane tubes includes an internal passage separated from the waste gas passageway by a porous membrane. A water supply inlet manifold is connected to each of the plurality of membrane tubes, and configured to introduce water into the internal passages of the membrane tubes. A vacuum source is connected to the water side of the apparatus, and configured to adjust a pressure within the internal passages of the membrane tubes. The water within the internal passages receives heat and water vapor from the waste gas stream across the porous membrane.

A hydrogen internal combustion engine system includes a combustion chamber connected to a hydrogen intake system, an air intake system and a water intake system for controlling hydrogen combustion, characterized in that the water injection system comprises an exhaust gas collector connected to an exhaust water condenser configured to condense at least a part of water contained in the exhaust gases.

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.

An embodiment control device for discharging condensed water includes a signal receiver configured to receive a power-starting off signal, a temperature receiver configured to receive outdoor air temperature information, and a controller configured to perform a condensed water discharge mode maintaining an engine under an idling condition during a preset power-starting maintenance period in response to the power-starting off signal being received by the signal receiver and the outdoor air temperature information received from the temperature receiver being equal to or lower than a set temperature value.

An exhaust gas liquefying device is provided for reducing pollution from vehicles includes a casing generally comprised of two interconnected chambers. The casing is attached to the rear portion of a vehicle such as a car or small truck. The casing has an entry port to collect the exhaust gas from an exhaust pipe coming from the vehicle. At least one fan provides additional air and a condenser coil cools down the exhaust gas into a liquid which precipitates the carbon in the carbon dioxide. The added ambient air provided by the fan helps in evaporating the liquid which exits from an evacuation port.

An injection structure using integrated exhaust heat recovery system (EHRS) condensate, the structure including an integrated heat exchange part connected to an engine of a vehicle and branched from an exhaust outlet of an exhaust manifold to integrate exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and EHRS, a condensate circuit part extended from a rear end of the integrated heat exchange part to the engine of the vehicle and configured to move exhaust gas condensate, a three-phase valve configured to open and close so that a low-temperature coolant is selectively introduced into the integrated heat exchange part according to operating conditions, an EGR valve configured to open and close so that EGR gas with filtered condensate flows into the engine of the vehicle, a bypass valve fluidly connected to an exhaust muffler, and a controller configured to control opening and closing of the three-phase valve, the EGR valve, and the bypass valve according to the operating conditions.

A condensed water drainage device of an exhaust system includes a casing having an inlet on a first side thereof and an outlet on a second side thereof and a deformable member coupled to the first side of the casing and configured to elastically and extendably deform. The drainage device includes a condensed water drainage member coupled to the deformable member to extend the deformable member by pressure of an exhaust gas introduced to the deformable member and having a condensed water drainage hole communicating with the outlet. The drainage device includes a stopper coupled to the second side of the casing to limit movement of the condensed water drainage member and to open or close the condensed water drainage hole according to extension or contraction of the deformable member.

An exhaust gas treatment arrangement for an exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine includes an exhaust gas channel leading to a flow path switching unit. The flow path switching unit is configured for changing exhaust gas parts of an exhaust gas stream flowing through the exhaust gas channel, which are conducted into first and second exhaust gas flow paths downstream of the flow path switching unit. The first exhaust gas flow path and the second exhaust gas flow path lead to an exhaust gas outlet. An SCR catalyst unit is in the first exhaust gas flow path upstream of the exhaust gas outlet. A liquid bypass line drains liquid from a liquid collection region in the exhaust gas channel upstream relative to the switching unit. The liquid is drained to a liquid discharge region for discharging liquid into the second flow path downstream of the switching unit.

A water drainage assembly for an aftertreatment system comprises a first tube structured to be coupled to an outlet conduit of the aftertreatment system and has a first cross-sectional width. A second tube is disposed radially around the first tube. A first end of the second tube is coupled to a radially outer surface of the first tube. A portion of the second tube has a second cross-sectional width larger than the first cross-sectional width such that a volume is defined between the first and second tubes. A drain port is defined in the second tube proximate to the first end. The assembly is structured such that water flowing into the water drainage assembly flows into the volume defined between the first tube and the second tube and is expelled therefrom via the drain port.

Separation of carbon dioxide from the exhaust of an internal combustion engine, the production of hydrogen from water, and reformation of carbon dioxide and hydrogen into relatively high-octane fuel components.
