EXHAUST GAS CLEANING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLEANING EXHAUST GAS AND USE OF EXHAUST GAS CLEANING SYSTEM

An exhaust gas cleaning system includes a particle filter device comprising a casing, plural hollow ceramic filter rods arranged at least partly inside a gas passage of the casing, and a gas inlet and gas outlet. The particle filter device guides exhaust gas from the gas inlet, through the gas passage and to the gas outlet. The particle filter device further comprises a perforated plate extending at least partly along the filter rods and partly blocking an exhaust gas flow path from the gas inlet to the gas passage. The perforated plate defines openings allowing exhaust gas to flow into the gas passage. The filter rods are gas permeable to allow exhaust gas to penetrate, during filtration, a respective wall of the filter rods and flow into the filter rods. A respective open upper end of the filter rods communicates with the gas outlet so exhaust gas leaves the casing.

Systems and methods for controlling flow distribution in an aftertreatment system

An aftertreatment component includes an inlet connector tube, an outlet connector tube, a chamber, a flow dissipater, and a substrate. The inlet connector tube receives exhaust gasses. The chamber is between the inlet connector tube and the outlet connector tube. The flow dissipater is positioned around the inlet connector tube and within the chamber. The flow dissipater receives the exhaust gasses from the inlet connector tube and includes a plurality of perforations. The plurality of perforations defines an open area of the flow dissipater. The open area of the flow dissipater is greatest proximate to the inlet connector tube and progressively decreasing proximate to the outlet connector tube. The substrate is positioned within the chamber and receives the exhaust gasses from the flow dissipater and provides the treated exhaust gasses to the outlet connector tube. The exhaust gases are expelled through the flow dissipater via the plurality of perforations.

Glass catalyst compositions for improved hydrothermal durability

A diesel soot filter includes a substrate having a surface disposed at least partially within a fluid path of the diesel soot filter. A glass catalyst is disposed on the surface of the substrate such that an exhaust gas contacts at least a portion of a surface of the glass catalyst as the exhaust gas moves within the diesel soot filter. The glass catalyst comprises a plurality of alkali metal ions disposed within the glass catalyst and releasable to the surface of the glass catalyst at a controlled rate and the alkali metal ions combust with the soot as the exhaust gas travels along the fluid path. An oxide basis of the glass catalyst comprises Silicon (Si), Potassium (K), Cesium (Ce), and Zirconium (Zr).
