Abstract:
Disclosed is a urea solution reformer and an exhaust gas purifier using the same, configured to heat a carrier gas supplied from a carrier gas source by a carrier gas heating unit (16), to inject the carrier gas heated by the carrier gas heating unit from a carrier gas injecting nozzle (17), and to cause a urea solution (18) to be supplied by a first urea solution supply nozzle (21) to a tip end of the carrier gas injecting nozzle so that the urea solution is atomized by the carrier gas injected from the carrier gas injecting nozzle. Provided to face toward the carrier gas injecting nozzle is a catalyst unit (23) for decomposing the atomized urea solution to reform it into an ammonia gas. Further provided is an ammonia gas supply nozzle (24) attached to an exhaust pipe (12) of an engine so as to supply the ammonia gas discharged from an outlet of the catalyst unit into the exhaust pipe. The urea solution is sufficiently atomized, and thus reformed into an ammonia gas by the catalyst unit with a good efficiency.
Abstract:
An exhaust gas purification apparatus wherein a selective reduction type catalyst (10) is provided on the way of an exhaust pipe (9) and a urea water (17) (a reducing agent) is added upstream from said selective reduction type catalyst (10) by the use of a urea water addition means (18) (reducing agent addition means), to reduce and purify NOx, which comprises NOx sensors (24 and 25) being provided in the entrance side and the exit side of the selective reduction type catalyst (10), respectively, for detecting NOx concentrations, and an NOx purification control device (23) (control device) which determines to be abnormal when a prescribed NOx reduction rate is not achieved, based on the detection signals (24a, 25a) from both NOx sensors (24 and 25), and instructs the limitation of the amount of the spray of a fuel under the condition having been determined to be abnormal. The above apparatus can be suitably used for minimizing the increase in the amount of the discharge of NOx under conditions wherein an NOx purification system is abnormal.
Abstract:
Incorporated in an exhaust pipe are an HC-SCR NO x catalyst capable of reducing NO x at temperatures less than a set temperature T and a catalyzed particulate filter with an oxidation catalyst capable of reducing NO x at temperatures not less than the set temperature T. When an exhaust gas temperature is less than the set temperature T, fuel with a set flow rate Q is intermittently added from a fuel addition unit on an entry side of the HC-SCR NO x catalyst to the HC-SCR NO x catalyst; when the exhaust gas temperature is not less than the set temperature T, the fuel with flow rate Q' not less than the set flow rate Q is temporarily rich-spike added from the fuel addition unit and is made arrival at a catalyzed particulate filter. With an active temperature range being expanded, exhaust emission control is performed in a wide temperature range.
Abstract:
A carrier gas supplied from a carrier gas source is injected from a carrier gas injection nozzle. Also, a fuel including a hydrocarbon-based liquid and supplied from a fuel source is supplied to a tip end of the carrier gas injection nozzle, whereby this fuel is atomized with the carrier gas injected from the carrier gas injection nozzle. Furthermore, an inlet of a reforming part that decomposes the atomized fuel and reforms the atomized fuel into a reducing gas including either or both of hydrogen and an oxygen-containing hydrocarbon is provided so as to face the carrier gas injection nozzle and the fuel supply nozzle, and a reducing gas supply nozzle that supplies the reducing gas discharged from an outlet of the reforming part is provided in an exhaust pipe.
