Description

直列式分流器In-line shunt

技术领域technical field

本披露涉及排放气体处理系统。更具体地,在试剂喷射器的上游提供排放气体流量调节器以增强试剂在发动机排气流中的固定和分布。The present disclosure relates to exhaust gas treatment systems. More specifically, an exhaust gas flow regulator is provided upstream of the reagent injector to enhance immobilization and distribution of reagent in the engine exhaust stream.

背景技术Background technique

此部分提供与本披露相关的背景信息,其不一定是现有技术。This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art.

为了减少不期望的颗粒物质和NOX在内燃发动机运行过程中排放至大气中的量,已经开发了多种排气后处理系统。当实施柴油机燃烧过程时,尤其需要排气后处理系统。In order to reduce the amount of undesirable particulate matter and NOx emitted to the atmosphere during operation of internal combustion engines, various exhaust aftertreatment systems have been developed. Exhaust gas aftertreatment systems are especially required when implementing diesel combustion processes.

一种用于减少内燃发动机的NOx排放物的方法被称为选择性催化还原法(SCR)。SCR可以包括将试剂喷射进发动机的排气流中以形成试剂与排放气体的混合物,该混合物随后经过包含催化剂(如在存在试剂时能够减小NOx的浓度的活性炭或如铂、钒或钨等金属)的反应器。One method for reducing NOx emissions from internal combustion engines is known as selective catalytic reduction (SCR). SCR may involve injecting a reagent into the engine's exhaust stream to form a mixture of reagent and exhaust gas, which is then passed over a catalyst containing a catalyst such as activated carbon or a catalyst such as platinum, vanadium, or tungsten that reduces the concentration of NO x in the presence of the reagent. and other metals) reactors.

尿素水溶液已知为一种用于柴油发动机的SCR系统中的有效试剂。然而,使用水溶液和其他试剂可能存在缺点。尿素具有高腐蚀性并且侵害SCR系统的机械部件。尿素也倾向于如在柴油机排气系统中遇到的长时间暴露于高温时的固化。存在关注的问题,因为产生沉积物的试剂没有用于减少NOxAqueous urea is known to be an effective reagent in SCR systems for diesel engines. However, there may be disadvantages to using aqueous solutions and other reagents. Urea is highly corrosive and attacks the mechanical parts of the SCR system. Urea is also prone to solidification upon prolonged exposure to high temperatures as encountered in diesel exhaust systems. There is a concern because agents that generate deposits are not used to reduce NOx .

此外,如果试剂没有正确地与排放气体混合,该试剂就没有被高效利用,从而抑制催化剂的作用并且由此降低SCR系统的有效性。高试剂喷射压力已经用作使尿素混合物的不充分雾化的问题最小化的方法。然而,高喷射压力可能导致喷射的喷雾烟流过度穿透排气流,由此引起烟流冲击与喷射器相对的排气管的内表面上。过度穿透导致尿素混合物的使用效率低并且可能减小车辆可以在NOx排放物减少的情况下运行的可行驶里程。只有有限的试剂量可以承载在车辆中。令人期望的是高效使用储藏的试剂以使车辆可行驶里程最大化并且减少对补充试剂的需要。Furthermore, if the reagent is not properly mixed with the exhaust gases, the reagent is not used efficiently, inhibiting the action of the catalyst and thereby reducing the effectiveness of the SCR system. High reagent injection pressures have been used as a way to minimize the problem of insufficient atomization of the urea mixture. However, high injection pressures may cause excessive penetration of the injected spray plume into the exhaust flow, thereby causing the plume to impinge on the inner surface of the exhaust pipe opposite the injector. Excessive breakthrough results in inefficient use of the urea mixture and may reduce the range over which the vehicle can operate with reduced NOx emissions. Only a limited amount of reagents can be carried in the vehicle. Efficient use of stored reagents is desirable to maximize vehicle range and reduce the need for refills.

提供用于将试剂喷射进内燃发动机的排气流中的方法和装置会是有利的,以使试剂沉积最小化并且改善试剂与排放气体的混合。It would be advantageous to provide methods and apparatus for injecting reagent into the exhaust flow of an internal combustion engine to minimize reagent deposition and improve mixing of the reagent with the exhaust gas.

应理解的是,虽然可以结合柴油发动机和NOx排放物的减少描述了本传授内容,但可以结合多条排气流(如来自(通过非限制性实例的方式)柴油、汽油、涡轮机、燃料电池、喷气式飞机或输出排气流的任何其他动力源的排气流)中的任一排气流使用本传授内容。此外,可以结合减少多种不期望的排放物中的任一排放物来使用本传授内容。例如,用于柴油机颗粒过滤器再生的碳氢化合物的喷射也属于本披露的范围。对于额外说明,应注意共同受让的、2011年11月1日发布的标题为“Method And Apparatus For Injecting AtomizedFluids(用于喷射雾化流体的方法和装置)”的第8,047,452号美国专利,其通过引用结合于此。It should be understood that while the present teachings may be described in connection with a diesel engine and reduction of NOx emissions, multiple exhaust streams such as from (by way of non-limiting example) diesel, gasoline, turbine, fuel cell , jet aircraft, or any other power source that outputs an exhaust stream) using this teaching. Furthermore, the present teachings may be used in connection with reducing any of a variety of undesired emissions. For example, injection of hydrocarbons for diesel particulate filter regeneration is also within the scope of the present disclosure. For additional clarification, attention should be paid to commonly assigned U.S. Patent No. 8,047,452, issued November 1, 2011, entitled "Method And Apparatus For Injecting Atomized Fluids" by Incorporated by reference.

参见附图,提供了一种用于减少柴油发动机21的排气的NOx排放物的污染控制系统8。在图1中,该系统的元件之间的实线表示试剂的流体管线,虚线表示电连接。本传授内容的系统可以包括用于容纳试剂的试剂储箱10、以及用于从储箱10递送试剂的递送模块12。该试剂可以是尿素溶液、碳氢化合物、烷基酯、乙醇、有机化合物、水等等,并且可以是其掺混物或组合。还应理解的是,一种或多种试剂可用在该系统中并且可以单独使用或结合使用。储箱10和递送模块12可以形成整合的试剂储箱/递送模块。也可作为系统8的一部分提供的是电子喷射控制器14、试剂喷射器16和排气系统19。排气系统19包括排气导管18,该排气导管将排气流供应至至少一个催化剂床17。Referring to the drawings, there is provided a pollution control system 8 for reducing NOx emissions from the exhaust of a diesel engine 21 . In FIG. 1 , the solid lines between the elements of the system represent fluid lines for reagents, and the dashed lines represent electrical connections. A system of the present teachings may include a reagent tank 10 for containing reagents, and a delivery module 12 for delivering reagents from tank 10 . The agent may be a urea solution, a hydrocarbon, an alkyl ester, an ethanol, an organic compound, water, etc., and may be a blend or combination thereof. It should also be understood that one or more reagents may be used in the system and may be used alone or in combination. Tank 10 and delivery module 12 may form an integrated reagent tank/delivery module. Also provided as part of the system 8 are an electronic injection controller 14 , a reagent injector 16 and an exhaust system 19 . The exhaust system 19 includes an exhaust conduit 18 supplying an exhaust flow to at least one catalyst bed 17 .

递送模块12可以包括泵,该泵通过供应管线9从该储箱10供应试剂。试剂储箱10可以是聚丙烯、涂覆环氧树脂的碳钢、PVC、或不锈钢,并根据应用(例如车辆大小、车辆的预期用途等)来设定大小。可以提供压力调节器(未示出),用于将系统维持在预定的压力设定点(例如,约60-80psi的相对低的压力,或者在一些实施例中为约60-150psi的压力),并且可以位于从试剂喷射器16开始的回流管线35中。可以在引向试剂喷射器16的供应管线9中提供压力传感器。系统还可以结合多种防冻保护策略以融化结冻的试剂或防止试剂结冻。在系统运行过程中,不论喷射器是否正在将试剂释放到排放气体中,试剂可以在储箱10与试剂喷射器16之间连续循环以冷却该喷射器并且使试剂在喷射器中的驻留时间减到最小,从而使得试剂保持冷却。连续的试剂循环对于对温度敏感的试剂而言可能是必要的,如尿素水溶液,其在暴露于300℃至650℃的高温(如在发动机排气系统中经历的温度)下时倾向于固化。The delivery module 12 may comprise a pump that supplies reagents from the tank 10 through the supply line 9 . Reagent tank 10 may be polypropylene, epoxy coated carbon steel, PVC, or stainless steel and is sized according to the application (eg, vehicle size, intended use of the vehicle, etc.). A pressure regulator (not shown) may be provided for maintaining the system at a predetermined pressure set point (eg, a relatively low pressure of about 60-80 psi, or in some embodiments a pressure of about 60-150 psi) , and may be located in return line 35 from reagent injector 16 . A pressure sensor may be provided in the supply line 9 leading to the reagent injector 16 . The system can also incorporate multiple freeze protection strategies to thaw frozen reagents or prevent reagents from freezing. During system operation, regardless of whether the injector is releasing reagent into the exhaust gas, reagent may be continuously circulated between the tank 10 and the reagent injector 16 to cool the injector and increase the residence time of the reagent in the injector. Reduce to a minimum so that the reagents remain cool. Continuous reagent circulation may be necessary for temperature sensitive reagents, such as aqueous urea solutions, which tend to solidify when exposed to elevated temperatures of 300°C to 650°C, such as those experienced in engine exhaust systems.

另外,可能令人期望的是将试剂混合物保持低于140℃,并且优选地保持在5℃与95℃的更低运行范围内,以确保防止试剂固化。则固化后的试剂(如果允许成形)会污染移动零件和喷射器的开口。Additionally, it may be desirable to keep the reagent mixture below 140°C, and preferably within the lower operating range of 5°C and 95°C, to ensure that the reagents are prevented from curing. The cured reagent (if allowed to form) can then contaminate moving parts and injector openings.

所需的试剂量可以随着负荷、排放气体温度、排放气体流量、发动机燃料喷射正时、期望的NOx还原、气压计压力、相对湿度、EGR比率和发动机冷却剂温度而变化。NOx传感器或量计25定位在催化剂床17的下游。NOx传感器25可运行来将指明排气NOx含量的信号输出给发动机控制单元27。可以经发动机/车辆的数据总线从发动机控制单元27将所有或者一些发动机运行参数提供给试剂电子喷射控制器14。试剂电子喷射控制器14还可以作为发动机控制单元27的一部分而包括在内。可以通过相应的传感器来测量排放气体温度、排放气体流量和排气背压以及其他车辆运行参数。The amount of reagent required may vary with load, exhaust gas temperature, exhaust gas flow, engine fuel injection timing, desired NOx reduction, barometer pressure, relative humidity, EGR ratio, and engine coolant temperature. A NO x sensor or meter 25 is positioned downstream of the catalyst bed 17 . The NO x sensor 25 is operable to output a signal indicative of the exhaust NO x content to the engine control unit 27 . All or some of the engine operating parameters may be provided to the reagent electronic injection controller 14 from the engine control unit 27 via the engine/vehicle data bus. The reagent electronic injection controller 14 may also be included as part of the engine control unit 27 . Exhaust gas temperature, exhaust gas flow and exhaust back pressure as well as other vehicle operating parameters can be measured by means of corresponding sensors.

A flow conditioner 164 extends radially inward from mounting nub 160 into tube 102 to redirect the flow of exhaust gas through exhaust passage 104 . Clamps (not shown) or other suitable coupling means secure mounting section 160 to tube 102 .

流量调节器164包括径向向内延伸的立柱166,该立柱具有固定至安装节160上的第一端168和固定至基本上平面的分流板172上的相反端170。分流板172被定位为与穿过管102的排气流的方向成一个倾斜角。在图2所描绘的实施例中,分流板172包括狭长的椭圆形外形。The flow regulator 164 includes a radially inwardly extending post 166 having a first end 168 secured to a mounting segment 160 and an opposite end 170 secured to a substantially planar diverter plate 172 . Splitter plate 172 is positioned at an oblique angle to the direction of exhaust flow through tube 102 . In the embodiment depicted in FIG. 2 , splitter plate 172 includes an elongated oval shape.

流量调节器164和安装节160显示为一件式构件,使用典型的喷射器安装硬件,该一件式构件可以容易地固定至管102上。还设想到流量调节器164可以与安装节160间隔开,被定位在排气通路104之内,并且分开地固定至圆柱形管102。在图2所描绘的版本中,管102包括锁孔槽173,该锁孔槽的形状被设定为用于接纳流量调节器164。Flow regulator 164 and mounting section 160 are shown as a one-piece component that can be easily secured to tube 102 using typical injector mounting hardware. It is also contemplated that flow regulator 164 may be spaced from mounting section 160 , positioned within exhaust passage 104 , and separately secured to cylindrical tube 102 . In the version depicted in FIG. 2 , tube 102 includes keyhole slot 173 shaped to receive flow regulator 164 .

流量调节器164定位在试剂喷射轴线158的上游。流量调节器164的大小、形状和位置被设定成在该通路104内,用于改变排气在沿试剂喷射轴线158截取的横截面平面的速度曲线。在没有流量调节器的情况下,流经管102的排气流速曲线显示基本对称的弯曲轨迹,在通路104的中心增大至最大速度,而在内表面106处速度最小,如图4所示。排放气体在内表面106附近的速度基本上低于排放气体在管102的中心的速度。当排气流速相对低的时候,如当内燃发动机空转时,所喷射的试剂倾向于穿过排放气体并且沿着管102的下半部冲击内表面106(图3)。如前所述,令人期望的是将试剂与排放气体混合并且将混合物供应至排气处理装置,如SCR催化器。冲击内表面106的试剂可能倾向于附着在管102上,从而引起不期望的池化、腐蚀和可能的试剂固化。Flow regulator 164 is positioned upstream of reagent injection axis 158 . The flow regulator 164 is sized, shaped and positioned within the passageway 104 to vary the velocity profile of the exhaust gas in a cross-sectional plane taken along the reagent injection axis 158 . In the absence of a flow regulator, the exhaust flow velocity profile through tube 102 exhibits a substantially symmetrical curved trajectory, increasing to a maximum velocity at the center of passageway 104 and minimum velocity at inner surface 106, as shown in FIG. The velocity of the exhaust gas near the inner surface 106 is substantially lower than the velocity of the exhaust gas at the center of the tube 102 . When the exhaust gas flow rate is relatively low, such as when the internal combustion engine is idling, the injected reagent tends to pass through the exhaust gas and impinge on the inner surface 106 along the lower half of the tube 102 ( FIG. 3 ). As previously mentioned, it is desirable to mix reagents with the exhaust gas and supply the mixture to an exhaust treatment device, such as an SCR catalyst. Reagents impinging on inner surface 106 may tend to adhere to tube 102, causing undesirable pooling, corrosion, and possible reagent solidification.

图5描绘了计算流体动力学等值线,该等值线展示了对于没有流量调节器的排气系统,在约380kg/时的相对低的排气流速下,试剂在每分钟喷射约4.2克过程中的质量分数分布。在图6也提供了相同排气流速和试剂喷射速率下的模拟试剂喷雾浓度等值线图。图5和图6的绘图均与没有流量调节器的圆柱形管内的排气流量和试剂喷射相关。Figure 5 depicts CFD contours showing that for an exhaust system without a flow regulator, at a relatively low exhaust flow rate of about 380 kg/hour, the reagent is injected at about 4.2 grams per minute Mass fraction distribution in the process. Figure 6 also provides a simulated reagent spray concentration contour map at the same exhaust flow rate and reagent injection rate. Both Figure 5 and Figure 6 plots relate to exhaust flow and reagent injection in a cylindrical tube without a flow regulator.

图7描绘了对于装备有成形为分流板172的流量调节器的系统在相同的排气流量和试剂喷射速率下的试剂质量分数等值线。图8示出了对应的试剂喷雾浓度等值线。将在没有流量分流器的情况下产生的等值线与包括分流板172时的等值线进行比较,展示了在试剂出口孔156附近增大排气速度的效果。通过在试剂初始喷射的区域增大速度,试剂液滴在穿越管并且冲击喷射器16对面的内表面106之前就被迫向上移动和/或进一步向下游移动。FIG. 7 depicts reagent mass fraction contours for the same exhaust flow and reagent injection rate for a system equipped with a flow regulator shaped as splitter plate 172 . Figure 8 shows the corresponding reagent spray concentration contours. Comparing the contours produced without the flow splitter to that with the inclusion of the splitter plate 172 demonstrates the effect of increasing the exhaust velocity near the reagent outlet orifice 156 . By increasing velocity in the region where the reagent is initially sprayed, the reagent droplet is forced to move up and/or further downstream before traversing the tube and impacting the inner surface 106 opposite the injector 16 .

关于整个通路106中所喷射的试剂的浓度,产生了额外的计算估值。具体地,在排气流速为380kg/时并且试剂喷射速率为约4.2g/分钟时,估计沉积在管壁表面的下半部上的试剂量。通过安装流量调节器164,沉积在内表面106的下半部上的试剂质量分数减少了超过50%。Additional calculated estimates are generated regarding the concentration of injected reagent throughout passage 106 . Specifically, the amount of reagent deposited on the lower half of the tube wall surface was estimated when the exhaust gas flow rate was 380 kg/hour and the reagent injection rate was about 4.2 g/min. By installing the flow regulator 164, the mass fraction of reagent deposited on the lower half of the inner surface 106 is reduced by more than 50%.

进一步回顾计算流体动力学数据,反映了分流板172在前缘174引起分流,从而促使排气流加速流向喷射器16。在分流板172的后缘176处,排气流速度在分流板172与喷射器16之间的区域增加了25%。结果是增强了混合并减小了试剂冲击。A further review of the computational fluid dynamics data reflects that the splitter plate 172 induces flow splitting at the leading edge 174 , causing the exhaust flow to accelerate towards the injector 16 . At the trailing edge 176 of the splitter plate 172 , the exhaust flow velocity increases by 25% in the area between the splitter plate 172 and the injector 16 . The result is enhanced mixing and reduced reagent shock.

图9描绘了替代的流量调节器200。如先前关于流量调节器164所讨论的,流量调节器200可以固定在喷射器安装节上或者可以与喷射器16单独间隔开,并且联接至管102上。流量调节器200包括具有基本上平面形状、径向延伸至通路104中的立柱202。半圆锥形翻板204固定至立柱202上。半圆锥形翻板204包括局部圆椎形的外表面206,该外表面与局部圆锥形的内表面208间隔开。半圆锥形翻板204结束于第一边缘210和第二边缘212。第一边缘210与第二边缘212间隔开,以允许立柱202从其之间穿过。圆锥形外表面206的旋转轴线216相对于排气流经通路104的方向成一定角度延伸,以便增大排气流在喷射器16附近的速度。CFD分析表明有利的试剂与排气混合、以及试剂对在喷射器16对面的内表面106的冲击减小。FIG. 9 depicts an alternative flow regulator 200 . As previously discussed with respect to flow regulator 164 , flow regulator 200 may be affixed to the injector mounting joint or may be spaced separately from injector 16 and coupled to tube 102 . Flow regulator 200 includes a post 202 having a substantially planar shape extending radially into passage 104 . The semi-conical flap 204 is fixed to the column 202 . The semi-conical flap 204 includes a partially conical outer surface 206 spaced from a partially conical inner surface 208 . The semi-conical flap 204 ends at a first edge 210 and a second edge 212 . First edge 210 is spaced from second edge 212 to allow post 202 to pass therebetween. The axis of rotation 216 of the conical outer surface 206 extends at an angle relative to the direction of exhaust gas flow through the passageway 104 so as to increase the velocity of the exhaust gas flow in the vicinity of the injector 16 . CFD analysis indicated favorable reagent to exhaust mixing and reduced impact of the reagent on the inner surface 106 opposite the injector 16 .

如图10所示,以参考数字300标识了另一个替代的流量调节器。流量调节器300包括位于喷射器16上游的楔形翻板302,该楔形翻板从内表面106向内伸出。楔形翻板302包括圆锥形壁304,该圆锥形壁起始于点306且结束于基本上平面的面板308。楔形翻板302还用于调节喷射器16上游的排放气体速度曲线,以增强混合并减小试剂对内表面106的冲击。As shown in FIG. 10 , another alternative flow regulator is identified at reference numeral 300 . The flow conditioner 300 includes a wedge-shaped flap 302 upstream of the injector 16 that projects inwardly from the inner surface 106 . The wedge-shaped flap 302 includes a conical wall 304 starting at a point 306 and ending at a substantially planar face plate 308 . The wedge flap 302 is also used to adjust the discharge gas velocity profile upstream of the injector 16 to enhance mixing and reduce reagent impact on the inner surface 106 .

图11至图13描绘了以参考数字500标识的另一种类型的流量调节器。流量调节器500成形为基本上平面的板502,该板固定在基本上圆柱形管504内。板502朝着与分流板172的方向相反的方向倾斜。具体地,板502的上游边缘508被定位成比板502的下游边缘510更靠近喷射器16。当排气流穿越前缘508时该排气流被分开,使得流的顶部将会膨胀并且稍微减速,而该流的底部会压缩并且引起速度增大。在管道下部速度增大将会将到达管道下部的试剂液滴在蒸发之前吹走。因而,流量调节器500将会减少由于试剂冲击而引起的管道润湿。Another type of flow regulator, identified at reference numeral 500, is depicted in FIGS. 11-13. The flow conditioner 500 is shaped as a substantially planar plate 502 secured within a substantially cylindrical tube 504 . The plate 502 is inclined in a direction opposite to the direction of the splitter plate 172 . Specifically, the upstream edge 508 of the plate 502 is positioned closer to the injector 16 than the downstream edge 510 of the plate 502 . The exhaust flow is split as it crosses the leading edge 508 such that the top of the flow will expand and slow down slightly, while the bottom of the flow will compress and cause an increase in velocity. The increased velocity in the lower part of the tube will blow away the reagent droplets that reach the lower part of the tube before they evaporate. Thus, flow regulator 500 will reduce tubing wetting due to reagent impingement.

如果板502在管504内的角度足够陡,则管道的顶部将会经历边界层滑脱,从而引起紊流以帮助试剂与排气混合。在一个实施例中,可以包括例如在第8,141,353号美国专利中描述的后喷混合器,该专利通过引用结合在此。进入混合器的紊流将会增强混合器在整个排放气体中分布试剂的能力。如此,混合长度可以被缩短。替代地,通过将板502正确定位在喷射器16上游,可以去除后喷混合器。If the angle of the plate 502 within the tube 504 is steep enough, the top of the tube will experience boundary layer slippage, causing turbulence to help reagent and exhaust mix. In one embodiment, an afterspray mixer such as that described in US Patent No. 8,141,353, which is incorporated herein by reference, may be included. Turbulent flow into the mixer will enhance the ability of the mixer to distribute the reagents throughout the exhaust gas. In this way, the mixing length can be shortened. Alternatively, by properly positioning the plate 502 upstream of the injector 16, the after-spray mixer can be eliminated.

图14呈现了在倾斜板502下游的四个不同轴向位置的排气的速度曲线。绘制了在板502的后缘510的第一速度分布图。如在图14看到的,右侧的下一个分布图描绘了在距离后缘520下游一英寸轴向距离处的排放气体速度分布。还示出了在六英寸的偏移距离和十二英寸的偏移距离处的速度分布。基于计算流体动力学模型,喷射器16可以有益地放置在与后缘510对齐的轴向位置,或者在后缘510的约1英寸内,以利用在喷射器16对面的内表面106附近增大速度曲线。FIG. 14 presents the velocity curves of the exhaust at four different axial positions downstream of the inclined plate 502 . A first velocity profile at the trailing edge 510 of the plate 502 is plotted. As seen in FIG. 14 , the next profile on the right depicts the exhaust gas velocity profile at an axial distance of one inch downstream from trailing edge 520 . Velocity distributions at offset distances of six inches and offset distances of twelve inches are also shown. Based on computational fluid dynamics modeling, injector 16 may be beneficially placed at an axial location aligned with, or within about 1 inch of, trailing edge 510 to take advantage of the increased speed curve.

还应理解的是,板502可以固定在管504内,或者可以可移动地安装在其中。对于可移动地安装的版本,设想到板502可以以类似于通过引用结合在此的第7,434,570号美国专利中所描述的卡扣作用阀的方式枢转地联接至管504上。在也通过引用结合在此的第7,775,322、8,215,103和8,468,813号美国专利中描述了附加可移动阀。所引用的每个参考文献都包括扭力弹簧和被动致动阀,该被动致动阀关于作用于其上的排气压力而旋转。还设想到可以通过使用致动器(未示出)来主动地控制本流量调节器,该致动器可运行来使板502在基本上平行于排气流的方向的位置与之前所讨论的倾斜位置之间旋转。It should also be understood that the plate 502 may be fixed within the tube 504, or may be movably mounted therein. For a movably mounted version, it is contemplated that the plate 502 may be pivotally coupled to the tube 504 in a manner similar to the snap action valves described in US Patent No. 7,434,570, incorporated herein by reference. Additional movable valves are described in US Patent Nos. 7,775,322, 8,215,103, and 8,468,813, also incorporated herein by reference. Each of the cited references includes a torsion spring and a passively actuated valve that rotates with respect to the exhaust pressure acting thereon. It is also contemplated that the present flow regulator may be actively controlled through the use of an actuator (not shown) operable to position the plate 502 substantially parallel to the direction of exhaust flow as previously discussed. Rotate between tilted positions.

图15和图16描绘了枢转地联接至管602上的偏置流量调节器600。流量调节器600可以在展开位置和缩回位置之间移动以使对更高排气流速流动的限制最小化。当通过管102的排气流速足够高时,附加的流量调节不需要获得充足的试剂混合和避免试剂冲击。在这些更高的排放气体流速下,将流量调节器从其展开位置缩回可能是有益的。15 and 16 depict biased flow regulator 600 pivotally coupled to tube 602 . The flow regulator 600 is movable between a deployed position and a retracted position to minimize restriction of higher exhaust flow rate flow. When the exhaust flow rate through tube 102 is sufficiently high, additional flow adjustment is not required to obtain adequate reagent mixing and avoid reagent shock. At these higher exhaust gas flow rates, it may be beneficial to retract the flow regulator from its deployed position.

扭力弹簧604使得翻板606朝向图中所描绘的展开位置偏置。翻板606弯曲以使排气流远离喷射器16偏转并且增大在喷射器16对面的内表面608附接的排气速度。当排气流速达到预定幅度时,在流量调节器600的上游表面610上的力克服弹簧604的偏置力,由此引起翻板606朝着邻近内表面608的缩回位置移动。当流量调节器600处于缩回位置上时,使对排气流的限制最小化。将会使由于使用流量调节器600引起的任何背压增大最小化。Torsion spring 604 biases flap 606 toward the deployed position depicted in the figure. The flap 606 is curved to deflect the flow of exhaust gas away from the injector 16 and to increase the velocity of the exhaust gas attached at the inner surface 608 opposite the injector 16 . When the exhaust flow rate reaches a predetermined magnitude, the force on the upstream surface 610 of the flow regulator 600 overcomes the biasing force of the spring 604 , thereby causing the flap 606 to move toward the retracted position adjacent the inner surface 608 . When the flow regulator 600 is in the retracted position, restriction to exhaust flow is minimized. Any increase in back pressure due to use of the flow regulator 600 will be minimized.

图17展示了根据本披露原理的另一流量调节器700。流量调节器700是包括第一边缘704和第二边缘706的弯曲板702,该第一边缘和第二边缘固定至排气管708上,使得板702在喷射器16上游的位置悬浮在排气管708内。尽管板702被展示为弯曲的,但板702可以为基本上平面的,而没有脱离本披露的范围。多个遮板710可以形成在板702中以便朝着期望的方向引导排气流。在所展示的实施例中,流量调节器在排气管708的上部712固定至该排气管(即,在管708的与喷射器16相同的一侧)。当排气流接近流量调节器700时,遮板710将会朝着远离喷射器16的向下方向引导排气流。以此方式,可以防止试剂排气处理流体的液滴到达管708的下部713并池化或者防止在其上形成沉积物。FIG. 17 illustrates another flow regulator 700 in accordance with the principles of the present disclosure. The flow conditioner 700 is a curved plate 702 including a first edge 704 and a second edge 706 secured to an exhaust pipe 708 such that the plate 702 is suspended over the exhaust at a location upstream of the injector 16. inside the tube 708 . Although the plate 702 is shown as being curved, the plate 702 may be substantially planar without departing from the scope of this disclosure. A plurality of louvers 710 may be formed in the plate 702 to direct the exhaust flow in a desired direction. In the illustrated embodiment, the flow regulator is secured to the exhaust pipe 708 at its upper portion 712 (ie, on the same side of the pipe 708 as the injector 16). As the exhaust flow approaches the flow regulator 700 , the shutter 710 will direct the exhaust flow in a downward direction away from the injector 16 . In this manner, droplets of the reagent exhaust treatment fluid may be prevented from reaching the lower portion 713 of the tube 708 and pooling or forming deposits thereon.

替代地,流量调节器700可以在排气管708的下部713固定至该排气管(图18)。遮板710随后将会将排气流向上和朝向喷射器16引导。不论流量调节器700定位在哪里,由遮板710引起的速度的增大和漩涡将会使试剂排气处理流体与排气流混合,使得防止或至少基本上最小化沉积物的形成。进一步地,应理解的是,不论是定位在上部712还是在下部713,流量调节器700可以包括以与所展示的相反构形定向的遮板710。即,当流量调节器700定位在管708的上部712时,遮板710可以被定向成朝向喷射器16引导排气流。替代地,当流量调节器700定位在管708的下部712时,遮板710可以被定向成远离喷射器16引导排气流。另一替代方案是将朝向每一个方向定向遮板710,而不论流量调节器700定位在管708的上部712或者下部713。Alternatively, the flow regulator 700 may be secured to the exhaust pipe 708 at its lower portion 713 (FIG. 18). The shutter 710 will then direct the exhaust flow up and towards the injector 16 . Regardless of where the flow regulator 700 is positioned, the increase in velocity and swirl caused by the shutter 710 will cause the reagent exhaust treatment fluid to mix with the exhaust flow such that deposit formation is prevented or at least substantially minimized. Further, it should be understood that, whether positioned in the upper portion 712 or the lower portion 713, the flow regulator 700 may include the shutter 710 oriented in the opposite configuration to that shown. That is, when the flow regulator 700 is positioned in the upper portion 712 of the tube 708 , the shutter 710 may be oriented to direct the flow of exhaust toward the injector 16 . Alternatively, the shutter 710 may be oriented to direct the exhaust flow away from the injector 16 when the flow regulator 700 is positioned in the lower portion 712 of the tube 708 . Another alternative is to orient the shutter 710 in either direction, regardless of whether the flow regulator 700 is positioned in the upper portion 712 or the lower portion 713 of the tube 708 .

遮板710可以根据需要来调节。例如,遮板710可以是呈从板702穿出的接片714的形式。接片714各自可以包括不同的长度,其允许定制排气的非统一的目标流量分布。替代地,遮板710可以具有本领域技术人员期望的任何形状。例如,遮板710可以是椭圆形的、圆形的、三角形的等等,而没有脱离本披露的范围。另外,遮板710可以是略微螺旋扭转的,以在排气流中引起较大的涡旋量,该涡旋帮助试剂排气处理流体与排气进行混合。如图20中最佳所示,遮板710在板702上是错开的,这允许增加流量调节器700重新导向的排气流量。The shutter 710 can be adjusted as desired. For example, the shroud 710 may be in the form of a tab 714 protruding from the plate 702 . Tabs 714 may each include a different length, which allows for tailoring of the non-uniform target flow distribution of the exhaust. Alternatively, the shutter 710 may have any shape desired by those skilled in the art. For example, shutter 710 may be oval, circular, triangular, etc. without departing from the scope of this disclosure. Additionally, the shroud 710 may be slightly helically twisted to induce a greater amount of swirl in the exhaust flow that assists in mixing the reagent exhaust treatment fluid with the exhaust. As best shown in FIG. 20 , the shutters 710 are staggered on the plate 702 , which allows for increased exhaust flow redirected by the flow conditioner 700 .

流量调节器700不应局限于定位在喷射器16的上游。而是,流量调节器700可以直接定位在喷射器16下面,或者可以定位在喷射器16的下游。当流量调节器700直接定位在喷射器16下面时,没有立即雾化并且与排气混合的试剂排气处理流体的大液滴可能冲击板702。尽管大液滴可能冲击板702,但因为流量调节器700可以悬浮在管708内,所以液滴受到更高速率排气流的影响,更高速率排气流通常引起液滴升华而不是形成沉积物。Flow regulator 700 should not be limited to being positioned upstream of injector 16 . Instead, flow regulator 700 may be positioned directly below injector 16 , or may be positioned downstream of injector 16 . When flow regulator 700 is positioned directly below injector 16 , large droplets of reagent exhaust treatment fluid that are not immediately atomized and mix with the exhaust may impinge on plate 702 . Although large droplets may impact the plate 702, because the flow conditioner 700 can be suspended within the tube 708, the droplets are subject to higher velocity exhaust flow, which generally causes the droplets to sublimate rather than form deposits things.

此外,应理解的是流量调节器700不应局限于与喷射器16结合使用。相比之下,应理解的是喷射器16可以用例如NOx传感器25、温度传感器、压力传感器等等进行替换。流量调节器700与传感器结合使用允许排气的非均匀流动,因为其接近传感器,可以提供排气温度、NOx浓度等等的更准确的读数。Furthermore, it should be understood that the flow regulator 700 should not be limited to use with the injector 16 . In contrast, it should be understood that the injector 16 could be replaced with, for example, a NOx sensor 25, a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, and the like. The use of the flow regulator 700 in conjunction with the sensor allows for non-uniform flow of exhaust gas, which can provide more accurate readings of exhaust gas temperature, NOx concentration, etc. due to its proximity to the sensor.

以上对这些实施例的描述是出于展示和说明的目的提供的。并不旨在详尽或限制本披露。具体实施例的单独的要素或特征通常并不局限于该具体实施例,而是在适用时是可互换的、并且可以用在甚至并未明确示出或描述的选定实施例中。也可以用多种方式来对其加以变化。这样的变化不应视作是脱离本披露,并且所有这样的改动都旨在包含在本披露的范围之内。The foregoing description of these embodiments has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit this disclosure. Individual elements or features of a particular embodiment are generally not limited to that particular embodiment, but, where applicable, are interchangeable and can be used in a selected embodiment even not explicitly shown or described. It can also be varied in various ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from this disclosure, and all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of this disclosure.
