Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates generally to a emissions system mounting device and, more particularly, to an emissions system mounting device which includes at least one device configured to mix reductant into a flow of exhaust.

BACKGROUND

Conventional diesel powered systems for engines, factories, and power plants produce emissions that contain a variety of pollutants. These pollutants may include, for example, particulate matter (e.g., soot), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur compounds. Due to heightened environmental concerns, engine exhaust emission standards have become increasingly stringent. In order to comply with emission standards, machine manufactures have developed and implemented a variety of exhaust treatment components to reduce pollutants in exhaust gas prior to the exhaust gas being released into the atmosphere. The exhaust treatment components may include, for example, a diesel particulate filter, a selective catalytic reduction device, a diesel oxidation catalyst, a fuel-fired burner for regeneration of the diesel particulate filter, a muffler, and other similar components.
Frequently these exhaust treatment components, including their associated sensors and electronics, are mounted individually in an exhaust system within the available space using individual brackets. However, due to the increasing complexity and number of exhaust treatment components and the small amount of available space, mounting and interconnecting exhaust treatment components has proven difficult.
One method for combining exhaust treatment devices in a casing is disclosed in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2006/0264296 (the '296 publication) to Theis. Specifically, the '296 publication discloses a casing that supports a first lean NOx trap (LNT), a second LNT, and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device. The casing also supports a first port for introducing an exotherm generating agent and a second port for introducing a reducing agent. The second port is located upstream of the SCR. The reducing agent may be introduced from the second port into the exhaust flow in order to precondition the SCR. In addition, there may be a gap between the LNT and the SCR to facilitate mixing.
Although the system of the '296 publication may disclose a casing with both an LNT and an SCR for remediating emissions, the '296 system may have limitations. For example, the '296 system may only achieve limited mixing of the reductant with the exhaust flow, potentially resulting in poor NOx reduction.
The disclosed device is directed to overcoming one or more of the problems set forth above.

The mixing chamber may be configured to promote mixing between a flow of exhaust received from the first exhaust treatment device and a reductant. The emissions control system may further include a second exhaust treatment device configured to receive the flow of exhaust and reductant after it passes through the mixing chamber.

It is contemplated that a geometry of first support surface 34 may be shaped to match an outer geometry of first exhaust treatment device 36 and a geometry of second support surface 38 may be shaped to match an outer geometry of second exhaust treatment device 40. For example, when first and second exhaust treatment devices 36 and 40 are shaped as canisters, first and second support surfaces 34 and 38 may have generally arcuate surfaces with substantially the same radii of curvature as first and second exhaust treatment devices 36 and 40, respectively.
As seen in FIGS. 1 and 3, one or more bands 47 may pass over exhaust treatment devices 22 and secure exhaust treatment devices 22 to mount 26.

Fourth exhaust treatment device 51 may be configured to inject fuel and ignite the injected fuel in order to heat the exhaust flow received from power source 12 via exhaust conduit 23.
Referring to FIG. 4, mixing conduit 54 may be a substantially tubular member configured to convey a flow of exhaust and promote mixing of reductant with the flow of exhaust. Mixing conduit 54 may be cylindrical or have any other appropriate cross-sectional shape. Mixing conduit 54 may fluidly connect first exhaust treatment device 36 with second exhaust treatment device 40. Specifically, mixing conduit 54 may connect to first exhaust treatment device 36 via a first connector 56 and connect to second exhaust treatment device 40 via a second connector 58.

In other respects, the embodiment of FIG. 4 may be similar to other embodiments of emissions control system 16 described herein.
As shown in FIG. 5, emissions control system 16 may include an end cap 64. End cap 64 may couple to or be formed integrally with a downstream end of first exhaust treatment device 36. End cap 64 may be an device configured to promote mixing of injected reductant with the flow of exhaust within a mixing chamber 66.

Tumble flow generator 68 may include, for example, a plurality of flow deflectors 69 (also see FIG. 6) positioned to redirect the flow of exhaust as it exits first exhaust treatment device 36 and enters end cap 64. Specifically, flow deflectors 69 may embody channels, baffles, or vanes angled such that the flow of exhaust is redirected toward walls 67 of mixing chamber 66 as the flow of exhaust enters mixing chamber 66. The angle of flow deflectors 69 may be between 30° and 75°, and more specifically, approximately 60°. It is contemplated that tumble flow generator 68 may increase the dispersion of the reductant in the flow of exhaust and help prevent reductant droplets from forming on walls 67 of mixing chamber 66.
FIG. 7 depicts a further alternative embodiment of emissions control system 16. In the embodiment of FIG. 7, mixing conduit 54 may be omitted and replaced with a double end cap 70. A first end of double end cap 70 may couple to the downstream end of first exhaust treatment device 36 and a second end of double end cap 70 may couple to an upstream end of second exhaust treatment device 40.

Double end cap 70 may include a tumble mixer 71 located between first mixing chamber 73 and second mixing chamber 75. Similar to tumble flow generator 68, tumble mixer 71 may include a plurality of flow deflectors 79. Flow deflectors 79 of tumble mixer 71 may embody, for example, channels, baffles, or vanes configured to promote mixing of the reductant with the flow of exhaust and disperse the mixed exhaust and reductant into second mixing chamber 75. Flow deflectors 79 may be angled at any appropriate angle between 30° and 75°, and more specifically, at approximately 45°.
As shown in FIG. 8, emissions control system 16 may include an injection system 72 to selectively inject reductant into the flow of exhaust. Injection system 72 may include, for example, an injector 74, a fluid source 76, and a controller 78.

For example, injector 74 may be located at first connector 56. In this embodiment, injector 74 may be housed within or attached to first connector 56 such that injector 74 injects reductant along a center axis A4 of mixing conduit 54. Injector 74 may also be configured to inject slightly off of center axis A4 to account for the momentum of the flow of exhaust, such that the injected reductant ends up in the center of mixing conduit 54 as it flows down mixing conduit 54.
Referring to FIG. 9 (representing an embodiment of exhaust system 14 that includes end cap 64), injector 74 may be configured to inject reductant into mixing chamber 66.

It is contemplated that controller 78 may communicate with and actuate injector 74 based on input from one or more sensors (not shown), such as, for example, an NOx sensor, an ammonia sensor, a flow speed sensor, a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, and other sensors known in the art.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

The disclosed emissions control system may be applicable to any power system. The disclosed emissions control system may provide enhanced mixing of reductant for use with exhaust treatment devices. Operation of the disclosed power system will now be described.
Referring to FIG. 8, air may be drawn into power source 12 for combustion via intake 17. Fuel and air may be combusted to produce a mechanical work output and an exhaust flow. The exhaust flow may contain a complex mixture of air pollutants composed of gases and particulate matter. The exhaust flow may be directed from power source 12 via exhaust conduit 23 to exhaust treatment devices 22. The exhaust flow may pass through first exhaust treatment device 36 and enter reductant mixing conduit 54 through first connector 56. Injector 74 may inject reductant into the exhaust flow as it enters mixing conduit 54. As the exhaust flow and reductant pass through mixing conduit 54, mixing device 63 may mix and disperse the reductant into the flow of exhaust. The flow of exhaust and reductant mixture may then pass through second connector 58 into second exhaust treatment device 40. It is contemplated that the second exhaust treatment device 40 may include, for example, an SCR catalyst or an LNT. While inside of second exhaust treatment device 40 the exhaust gas may undergo a pollutant reducing reaction. The flow of exhaust may then be released into the atmosphere.
Referring to FIG. 9, as described above, air and fuel may be drawn into power source 12 and combusted to produce a mechanical work output and an exhaust flow. The exhaust flow may be directed from power source 12 via exhaust conduit 23 to exhaust treatment devices 22. The exhaust flow may pass through first exhaust treatment device 36. After passing through first exhaust treatment device 36, the exhaust may pass through tumble flow generator 68, thus creating rotational flow as the flow of exhaust enters mixing chamber 66. Injector 74 may then inject reductant into the exhaust flow as it enters mixing chamber 66. The rotational flow of the exhaust in mixing chamber 66 may facilitate mixing of the reductant into the flow of exhaust. The reductant and exhaust mixture may then exit mixing chamber 66 and enter mixing conduit 54. As the exhaust flow and reductant pass through mixing conduit 54, mixing device 63 may further mix and disperse the reductant into the flow of exhaust (it is contemplated, however, that in some embodiments, mixing device 63 may be omitted). The flow of exhaust and reductant mixture may then pass through second connector 58 into second exhaust treatment device 40. While inside of second exhaust treatment device 40 the exhaust gas may undergo a pollutant reducing reaction. The flow of exhaust may then be released into the atmosphere.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, emissions control system 16 may include a double end cap 70. As described above, air and fuel may be drawn into power source 12 and combusted to produce a mechanical work output and an exhaust flow. The exhaust flow may be directed from power source 12 via exhaust conduit 23 to exhaust treatment devices 22. The exhaust flow may pass through first exhaust treatment device 36. After passing through first exhaust treatment device 36, the exhaust may pass through tumble flow generator 68, thus creating rotational flow as the flow of exhaust enters first mixing chamber 73 of double end cap 70. Injector 74 may then inject reductant into the exhaust flow as it enters first mixing chamber 73. The rotational flow of the exhaust in first mixing chamber 73 may facilitate mixing of the reductant into the flow of exhaust. The reductant and exhaust mixture may pass through tumble mixer 71, thus further mixing and dispersing the reductant into the flow of exhaust as it enters into second mixing chamber 75. The flow of exhaust and reductant mixture may then pass into second exhaust treatment device 40. While inside of second exhaust treatment device 40 the exhaust gas may undergo a pollutant reducing reaction. The flow of exhaust may then be released into the atmosphere. In all other respects, the operation of power system 10 shown in FIG. 10 may be substantially the same as that of FIGS. 8 and 9.
It is contemplated that first and second connectors 56 and 58 may reverse a direction of fluid flow. In other words, a flow direction of the flow of exhaust may be reversed as the flow of exhaust passes from first exhaust treatment device 36, through first connector 56, and into mixing conduit 54. The flow direction of the flow of exhaust may be reversed again as the flow of exhaust passes from mixing conduit 54, through second connector 58, and into second exhaust treatment device 40. The two reversals of flow direction may create an “S” shaped flow path between first exhaust treatment device 36, third exhaust treatment device 46 (e.g., mixing conduit 54), and second exhaust treatment device 40. It is also contemplated that in some embodiments, the flow of exhaust may pass through fourth exhaust treatment device 51 (e.g., a regeneration device) prior to entering first exhaust treatment device 36.
The disclosed emissions control system may be applicable to any power system. The disclosed mount may provide a compact structure for mounting exhaust treatment devices in a power system, thus preserving space for other power system components. Additionally, the “S” shaped flow path created by the side-by-side exhaust treatment devices may reduce the overall length and size of the exhaust treatment system. Also, the disclosed mixing devices may ensure proper mixing and dispersion of the reductant into the exhaust gas before the exhaust gas reaches a downstream exhaust treatment device, thus improving performance of the disclosed emissions control system.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the disclosed emissions control system. Other embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the specification and practice of the disclosed emissions control system. It is intended that the specification and examples be considered as exemplary only, with a true scope being indicated by the following claims.
