Description
本発明は、液体還元剤を用いて排気中の窒素酸化物(NOx)を還元除去する排気浄化装置において、特に、液体還元剤の拡散及び混合を促進する技術に関する。 The present invention relates to an exhaust purification device that reduces and removes nitrogen oxides (NOx) in exhaust gas using a liquid reducing agent, and more particularly to a technique for promoting diffusion and mixing of the liquid reducing agent.
エンジンの排気に含まれるNOxを除去する触媒浄化システムとして、特開2000−27627号公報(特許文献1)に開示された排気浄化装置が提案されている。
かかる排気浄化装置は、エンジン排気系に配設された還元触媒の排気上流に、エンジン運転状態に応じた必要量の液体還元剤を噴射供給することで、排気中のNOxと還元剤とを触媒還元反応させて、NOxを無害成分に浄化処理するものである。ここで、還元反応は、NOxと反応性が良好なアンモニアを用いるもので、還元剤としては、排気熱及び排気中の水蒸気により加水分解してアンモニアを発生する尿素水溶液が用いられる。また、還元触媒におけるNOx浄化率を向上させるべく、図6に示すように、エンジン排気系1に、一酸化窒素(NO)を二酸化窒素(NO2)へと酸化させる酸化触媒2,液体還元剤を噴射供給する噴射ノズル3及び還元触媒4をこの順序で夫々配設し、酸化触媒2により排気中のNOとNO2との割合を改善する技術が開発されている。
Such an exhaust purification device injects and supplies a required amount of a liquid reducing agent according to the engine operating state upstream of the reduction catalyst disposed in the engine exhaust system, thereby catalyzing NOx and reducing agent in the exhaust. A reduction reaction is performed to purify NOx into harmless components. Here, the reduction reaction uses ammonia having good reactivity with NOx, and as the reducing agent, an aqueous urea solution that generates ammonia by hydrolysis with exhaust heat and water vapor in the exhaust is used. Further, in order to improve the NOx purification rate in the reduction catalyst, as shown in FIG. 6, the
ところで、噴射ノズル3から噴射供給された液体還元剤は、還元触媒4に到達するまでの間に、排気中で十分拡散及び混合されなければ、還元触媒4によるNOx浄化率の向上が期待できなくなってしまう。一方、液体還元剤の拡散及び混合が不十分となることを見越して、エンジン運転状態に応じた必要量以上を噴射供給すると、ランニングコストが上昇するだけではなく、噴射ノズル3やその排気下流に位置する排気系1に還元剤成分が析出されてしまうこととなる。このため、還元剤成分の析出を抑制しつつ、液体還元剤の拡散及び混合を促進するためには、噴射ノズル3と還元触媒4との間の距離を長くする必要がある。
By the way, if the liquid reducing agent injected and supplied from the
しかしながら、酸化触媒2,噴射ノズル3及び還元触媒4は、同図に示すように、シャーシ側の排気系1に夫々配設されているため、車載レイアウトの制約から、酸化触媒2と還元触媒4との間の距離を長くすることができなかった。また、酸化触媒2の排気上流に噴射ノズル3を配設すると、液体還元剤が還元触媒4に到達するまでの間に拡散及び混合するための時間が十分確保できるが、酸化触媒2により液体還元剤が酸化してしまい、酸化触媒2を設けた意味が薄れてしまう。このため、噴射ノズル3と還元触媒4との間の距離を長くすることは困難であり、液体還元剤が有効に利用されているとは言い難い状況であった。なお、液体還元剤として、軽油,ガソリン,アルコール類などの燃料を用いる排気浄化装置においても、同様な問題が発生するおそれがある。
However, as shown in the figure, the
そこで、本発明は以上のような従来の問題点に鑑み、エンジン排気系に配設される酸化触媒,噴射ノズル,還元触媒などのレイアウトを見直し、噴射ノズルと還元触媒との間の距離を十分確保することで、液体還元剤の拡散及び混合を促進した排気浄化装置を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, in view of the conventional problems as described above, the present invention has reviewed the layout of the oxidation catalyst, the injection nozzle, the reduction catalyst, and the like disposed in the engine exhaust system, and has a sufficient distance between the injection nozzle and the reduction catalyst.

請求項1〜請求項4又は請求項7に記載の発明によれば、酸化触媒がエンジンに固定される排気系に配設されるため、噴射ノズルを排気上流に移動させることが可能となり、これと還元触媒との間の距離を長くすることができる。このため、噴射ノズルから噴射供給された液体還元剤が還元触媒に到達するまでの間に、排気中に拡散及び混合するための時間が十分確保でき、液体還元剤の拡散及び混合を促進することができる。また、液体還元剤の拡散及び混合が促進されることから、噴射ノズル及びその排気下流に位置する排気系に還元剤成分が析出することも抑制できる。このとき、請求項2〜請求項4に記載される発明のように、エンジンの排気が酸化触媒に直接導入されれば、酸化触媒の触媒成分が活性温度以上となり易く、その酸化能力を十分発揮することができる。

請求項6記載の発明によれば、酸化触媒を小型化しても、触媒担体における排気の流路面積が十分確保され、圧力損失を極力抑制することができると共に、触媒成分が少なくて済むことからその原価を低下させることができる。このとき、酸化触媒の小型化及び触媒成分の削減による酸化能力の低下が懸念されるが、酸化触媒がエンジンに固定される排気系に配設されるため、ここを通過する排気の温度が十分高いことに加え、酸化触媒の小型化によりその周壁からの放熱量の低下により、従来構成と同等な酸化能力を確保することができる。
According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the same operation and effect as those of the first to fourth aspects of the invention can be expected even when the turbine of the turbocharger is not provided in the exhaust system.
According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, even if the oxidation catalyst is downsized, the exhaust passage area in the catalyst carrier is sufficiently secured, pressure loss can be suppressed as much as possible, and the catalyst components can be reduced. The cost can be reduced. At this time, there is a concern about the reduction of the oxidation capacity due to the downsizing of the oxidation catalyst and the reduction of the catalyst components. However, since the oxidation catalyst is disposed in the exhaust system fixed to the engine, the temperature of the exhaust gas passing therethrough is sufficient. In addition to being high, the oxidation capacity equivalent to that of the conventional configuration can be ensured by reducing the amount of heat released from the peripheral wall by reducing the size of the oxidation catalyst.
以下、添付された図面を参照して本発明を詳述する。
図1は、本発明に係る排気浄化装置の第1実施形態の構成を示す。
エンジン10の排気マニフォールド12に接続される排気管14には、排気流通方向に沿って、少なくとも、排気エネルギを回収して吸気を過給するターボチャージャのタービン16と、NOをNO2へと酸化させる酸化触媒18と、エンジン運転状態に応じて液体還元剤を噴射供給する噴射ノズル20と、NOxを液体還元剤により還元浄化するNOx還元触媒22と、が夫々配設される。詳細には、タービン16及び酸化触媒18は、エンジン10及び排気マニフォールド12に固定される上流排気管14Aに夫々配設される一方、噴射ノズル20及びNOx還元触媒22は、図示しないシャーシに固定される下流排気管14Bに夫々配設される。そして、上流排気管14Aと下流排気管14Bとは、エンジン10とシャーシとの間の相対運動を吸収するフレキシブルチューブ14Cを介して相互に連通接続され、排気系が構成される。ここで、車載レイアウトを簡素化する観点から、タービン16及び酸化触媒18の少なくとも一方は、ブラケットを介してエンジン10に直接支持される構成とすることが望ましい。なお、図中の符号24は、NOx還元触媒22を通過した液体還元剤を酸化浄化する還元剤酸化触媒である。
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a first embodiment of an exhaust emission control device according to the present invention.
The
また、酸化触媒18は、エンジンルーム内に配設されるため、排気抵抗の増加による圧力損失を極力抑制しつつ、小型化することが望ましい。このため、酸化触媒18は、排気流通方向に沿って多数形成されたセルの隔壁が薄壁からなるハニカムタイプの触媒担体に、触媒成分としての白金などの貴金属を薄層にてウォッシュコートした構成のものを用いる。このようにすれば、小型化したにもかかわらず、触媒担体における排気の流通面積が十分確保され、圧力損失を極力抑制することができると共に、触媒成分が少なくて済むことからその原価を低下させることができる。このとき、酸化触媒18の小型化及び触媒成分の削減による酸化能力の低下が懸念されるが、酸化触媒18がエンジンルーム内に配設されるため、ここを通過する排気の温度が十分高いことに加え、酸化触媒18の小型化によるその周壁からの放熱量の低下により、従来構成と同等な酸化能力を確保することができる。
Further, since the
かかる構成によれば、酸化触媒18がエンジンルーム内に配設されることで、噴射ノズル20を排気上流に移動させることが可能となり、これとNOx還元触媒22との間の距離を長くすることができる。このため、噴射ノズル20から噴射供給された液体還元剤がNOx還元触媒22に到達するまでの間に、排気中に拡散及び混合するための時間が十分確保でき、液体還元剤の拡散及び混合を促進することができる。また、液体還元剤の拡散及び混合が促進されることから、噴射ノズル20及びその排気下流に位置する下流排気管14Bなどに還元剤成分が析出することも抑制できる。
According to this configuration, the
図2は、本発明に係る排気浄化装置の第2実施形態の構成を示す。なお、以下の実施形態は、基本構成が第1実施形態と共通するので、同一構成には同一符号を付すことで、その説明は省略する。
本実施形態では、第1実施形態とは異なり、上流排気管14Aに、排気流通方向に沿って、酸化触媒18及びタービン16をこの順序で配設した構成を採用する。このようにすれば、排気マニフォールド12からの排気が酸化触媒18に直接導入されるため、酸化触媒18の触媒成分が活性温度以上となり易く、その酸化能力を十分発揮することができる。なお、他の作用及び効果については、先の第1実施形態と同様であるので、その説明は省略する(以下同様)。
FIG. 2 shows the configuration of a second embodiment of the exhaust emission control device according to the present invention. In the following embodiments, the basic configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment. Therefore, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
In the present embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the
図3は、本発明に係る排気浄化装置の第3実施形態の構成を示す。
エンジン10の排気マニフォールド12に接続される排気管14には、排気流通方向に沿って、少なくとも、酸化触媒18と、噴射ノズル20と、タービン16と、NOx還元触媒22と、が夫々配設される。詳細には、酸化触媒18は上流排気管14Aに配設される一方、噴射ノズル20,タービン16及びNOx還元触媒22は下流排気管14Bに夫々配設される。このようにすれば、先の第2実施形態と同様な作用及び効果を奏することができる。
FIG. 3 shows the configuration of a third embodiment of the exhaust emission control device according to the present invention.
The
図4は、本発明に係る排気浄化装置の第4実施形態の構成を示す。
本実施形態では、第3実施形態とは異なり、上流排気管14Aに、排気流通方向に沿って、酸化触媒18,噴射ノズル20及びタービン16を夫々配設する一方、下流排気管14Bに、NOx還元触媒22を配設した構成を採用する。このようにすれば、第2実施形態と同様に酸化触媒18による酸化能力を十分発揮させつつ、噴射ノズル20とNOx還元触媒22との間の距離を極力長くすることが可能となり、噴射ノズル20から噴射供給された液体還元剤が拡散及び混合するための時間を最大限確保することができる。
FIG. 4 shows the configuration of a fourth embodiment of the exhaust emission control device according to the present invention.
In this embodiment, unlike the third embodiment, the
図5は、本発明に係る排気浄化装置の第5実施形態の構成を示す。
本実施形態では、第4実施形態の上流排気管14Aに配設されたタービン16を取り外した構成が採用される。即ち、本発明は、排気系にタービン16が配設されていない構成であっても、その作用及び効果が奏される。なお、第1〜第3実施形態における排気系からタービン16を取り外してもよいことは言うまでもない。
FIG. 5 shows the configuration of a fifth embodiment of the exhaust emission control device according to the present invention.
In this embodiment, the structure which removed the
要するに、エンジン排気系に、排気流通方向に沿って、酸化触媒18,噴射ノズル20及びNOx還元触媒22を少なくとも配設して構成した排気浄化装置において、酸化触媒18を上流排気管14Aに配設する一方、NOx還元触媒22を下流排気管14Bに配設することで、噴射ノズル20とNOx還元触媒22との間の距離を長くすることができる。このため、噴射ノズル20から噴射供給された液体還元剤がNOx還元触媒22に到達するまでに要する時間が長くなり、液体還元剤が拡散及び混合するための時間を十分確保できることから、液体還元剤を有効に活用して、排気中のNOxを浄化処理することができる。また、液体還元剤を必要以上に噴射供給する必要がないことから、噴射ノズル20及びその排気下流に位置する下流排気管14Bなどに還元剤成分が析出することを抑制することができる。
