Definitions
- the invention relates to an exhaust gas treatment device for Internal combustion engine exhaust gases with a housing in its storage area in the longitudinal direction at least two in a row Exhaust gas treatment body with a mutual distance by means of at least a source mat, an inflow funnel on the inlet side of the housing, an outflow funnel on the outlet side of the housing, and if necessary a wire mat in a circumferential boundary of the space between the two exhaust gas treatment bodies, with if necessary one the wire mat at least in the area of Exhaust treatment body spacing surrounding fiberglass insulation mat.
- the wire mat (e.g. in the case of one mentioned above) DE-A-42 01 426 known exhaust gas treatment device in the form a wire mesh strip, the wire threads at an angle to The longitudinal direction of the housing runs with the wire mesh strip at its circumferential ends according to the course of the Wire threads is cut at an angle) protects the - normally taken from the swelling mat or an insulating mat - Annulus between himself and the housing against immediate Exposure to the hot and pulsating exhaust gas.
- the Wire mat can perform this protective function, although it does is gas permeable by itself.
- exhaust gas treatment body Treatment body for the catalytic detoxification of exhaust gases (extensive removal of unburned hydrocarbons, Carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides) and treatment bodies for filtering out particles from diesel engine exhaust gas, possibly also a catalytically favored one Implementation of the filtered out particles takes place include.
- the most common types of the first-mentioned exhaust gas treatment bodies are ceramic monoliths and treatment bodies wound from sheet metal, where both types of a plurality of longitudinally extending Have flow channels and the channel walls catalyst-containing substance are coated. With the treatment bodies In particular, ceramic filters are used to filter out particles, Sintered metal filter and wound filter made of temperature-resistant Threads into consideration.
- swelling mats preferred, where mica particles are embedded in a basic structure made of fibers are; if a swelling mat is in operation of the exhaust treatment device is brought to a higher temperature, the Mica particles are strong in volume, which the source mat creates a bias between the storage area of the housing and the exhaust gas treatment body (s) in the desired size.
- inflow funnel and "outflow funnel” designate components of the housing, which is a transition from the smaller cross section an exhaust pipe into which the exhaust treatment device is installed or should be installed, and the larger cross section the storage area of the housing.
- the inflow funnel widens in the direction of flow, while at Outflow funnel of the flow cross section narrowed in the direction of flow.
- the inflow funnel and the outflow funnel do not have to be one have an exact or approximate cone shape. You know a lot different geometric shapes, especially asymmetrical ones Shapes in cross-section or in longitudinal section. It just comes on the function of the transition of the flow cross-section on.
- the object of the invention is the targeted structural improvement an exhaust gas treatment device mentioned at the beginning with the help simple means to increase durability and lifespan.
- the object on which the invention is based is achieved by an exhaust gas treatment device of claim 1 specified type.
- the essence of the invention is that high temperature areas of the swelling mat by impregnating bonded fiber crossing points and / or high temperature areas the fiberglass insulation mat, sintered fiber crossing points exhibit.
- the measures according to the invention represent a gluing of the fine fibers and mica particles safely without the open Close structure, the void structure of the fiber material is maintained.
- the swelling mat is at least in one of those Areas where high temperature stress can occur with a binder to create a bond at fiber crossing points and avoiding extensive void filling impregnated. Because of this impregnation, the fibers get such a cohesion that they are not discharged by the pulsating exhaust gas. Furthermore the mica particles bound and moving between them Fibers hindered. The stabilizing effect through the impregnation is still present when the swelling mat is locally above 850 ° C has been heated and the mica particles in the overheated area Have at least partially lost expansion properties.
- Impregnation deliberately avoids extensive void filling between the fibers of the swelling mat, but aims at If possible, only bond the fibers at the fiber crossing points; it should not be a layer that closes the surface of the swelling mat be formed. In this way, the impregnated area remains Source mat get a considerable residual elasticity to the holder of the Exhaust treatment body even under changing temperatures ensure even when the mica particles are impregnated Area is already overheated. Furthermore, the insulation effect remains largely maintain the gas-filled voids between the fibers.
- Areas of the swelling mat due to the temperature and pulsation stress are particularly predestined for impregnation the axial end areas, especially at the upstream end, and the the space between the two exhaust gas treatment bodies bridging area.
- Binders based on an organometallic are particularly preferred Compound, especially silane, of potassium methyl siliconate, of Sodium methyl siliconate, or aluminum phosphate, in particular Monoaluminium phosphate or aluminum chromium phosphate.
- the binder can preferably be an aqueous solution or organic can be introduced as a solution.
- the impregnation dries quite soon after being airborne.
- the impregnation agent can conveniently adjust the consistency and quantity so that it fits into the Swell mat penetrates as described above; you can also get a Use wetting agent as an additive.
- the impregnation according to the invention also has the effect of rising the mica particles at a correspondingly elevated temperature, d. H. the thermal activity of the swelling mat, locally to hinder or reduce.
- the invention is the wire mat at least in the range of Exhaust gas treatment body distance from a glass fiber insulating mat surrounded by glass fibers drawn through nozzles, essentially without fine dust content and essentially without coarse particles, is constructed.
- Swelling mat trained storage mat continuously for the two Provide exhaust treatment body so that it also the clearance space bridged.
- the remedy is in this area, which is for pushing inward the wire mat is prone to not providing a swelling mat, but one insulating strips that do not expand when heated, preferably made of Fiberglass material.
- the special feature is a glass fiber material for the insulating strip from glass fibers drawn through nozzles, essentially without fine dust content and essentially without coarse particles, to provide provides a particularly resistant, even under the Exhaust gas temperature and pulsation exposure not at risk Material.
- this glass fiber material especially when assembling the exhaust gas treatment devices, no fine dust released into the environment.
- the glass fibers of the insulating mat are preferably brought to a higher percentage SiO 2 content by leaching and thus higher temperature resistance.
- This treatment of glass fibers is called leachen; normal glass becomes more quartz glass.
- a glass fiber material containing 30 to 40% SiO 2 is converted into a kind of quartz glass with about 60% SiO 2 by the leaching, the rest mainly CaO.
- the higher the SiO 2 content of the glass fiber material the higher its softening temperature.
- a tough elastic film is formed, which remains in this state even after cooling and protects the fibers in the colder layers of the insulating mat from the access of the exhaust gas and thus from the discharge.
- the softening temperature of the glass fibers can be adjusted to the desired temperatures in the range of approximately 500 to 950 ° C. by leaching out different raw glasses.
- the insulating mat is preferably a glass fiber fleece, preferably needled to a glass fiber felt.
- the described film formation by sintering together Glass fibers at the crossing points can also be preheated the exhaust gas treatment device before installation in a motor vehicle generate with the help of hot gas.
- the insulating mat made of knitted fiber or woven fabric, also exist in multiple layers, with ceramic and glass fibers in particular are preferred.
- the insulation mat is made of textured (flattened) single threads cheap to the insulation properties by installing the smallest voids.
- Between the insulating mat and the wire mat can be an intermediate layer made of particularly resistant, densely woven or knitted fiber material provided his.
- an exhaust gas treatment device can the swelling mat and the wire mat to a pre-assembled unit be combined and as a pre-assembled unit with the two exhaust gas treatment bodies and the storage area of the housing assembled become.
- the pre-assembled unit is in a first step wrapped around the two exhaust treatment bodies; then the arrangement of exhaust gas treatment bodies / wire mat / swelling mat assembled with the storage area of the housing.
- the two exhaust treatment bodies and the wire mat into one pre-assembled unit can be combined and as a pre-assembled unit with the at least one swelling mat and the storage area of the Housing can be assembled. In most cases this is done Laying out the swelling mat in a first step and assembling with the housing in a second step.
- the wire mat and the least a swelling mat combined into a pre-assembled unit and as a pre-assembled unit with the storage area of the Housing can be assembled.
- a Gluing and / or snagging by means of bent wire ends Storage mat, especially at its two axial ends, preferred.
- the wire mat and / or the swelling mat with the two exhaust gas treatment bodies to a pre-assembled unit it is preferred that the wire mat and / or the Affect swelling mat with the two exhaust gas treatment bodies or the the exhaust gas treatment body are glued. It is particularly advantageous if the on a wire mat protruding beyond the swelling mat for merging or assembling with the exhaust gas treatment bodies with the protrusion under the other circumferential end of the wire mat is pushed in. This results in a complete shielding all around the swelling mat or the insulating mat provided there.
- the wire mat and the swelling mat can be done that - for example, by stops for those facing away from each other End faces of the two exhaust gas treatment bodies in a mounting device -
- the manufacturing tolerance of the exhaust treatment body in Longitudinal by a longer or shorter in the longitudinal direction adjusting space between the two exhaust gas treatment bodies is added so that this arrangement with target length with the storage area of the housing can be assembled.
- the two exhaust gas treatment bodies, the wire mat and the swelling mat in one to bring such a state together with the storage area of the housing, that the mutually facing end faces of the two Exhaust gas treatment body on a target relative position to inflow funnel and adjust funnel components, with manufacturing tolerances in the longitudinal direction of the two exhaust gas treatment bodies and the storage area of the housing in the space between the two Exhaust gas treatment bodies are included.
- the end faces are the exhaust gas treatment bodies relatively sensitive to shock on its outer edge, on the other hand, there is a very narrow gap, especially to that Inner wall of a double-walled inflow funnel or outflow funnel of great advantage in order to apply the swelling mat the hot and pulsating exhaust gas through the gap if possible to keep low.
- a preferred way of how to still at Assembly of the two exhaust gas treatment bodies, in particular as pre-assembled arrangement with the wire mat and the swelling mat, with the storage area of the housing a displacement of the exhaust gas treatment body relative to the storage area of the housing for Enable the purpose of achieving the target relative position described is the previously mentioned gluing with the wire mat and / or the swelling mat, preferably with a tough elastic Glue that still has the required minor shifts allows.
- the two exhaust treatment bodies can be arranged as an exhaust treatment body with at least one spacer element between the two exhaust treatment bodies with the storage area of the housing are assembled, the at least one Spacer element is designed so that it is in volatile form the assembled exhaust treatment device is removable.
- the Working with spacer elements facilitates the assembly of the Exhaust treatment device very much because of the exhaust treatment body a quasi-defined relative position that can only be changed in a targeted manner to have. Particularly favorable conditions arise when at least one resilient spacer element is used, the a pushing together of the two exhaust gas treatment bodies with pushing force allows at a closer distance. This measure enables a combination of the described procedures of the Tolerance acceptance with the advantages of the spacer elements.
- the spacer elements are preferably either combustible without residue or evaporable.
- Particularly preferred materials are polyethylene or cardboard or CO 2 in the solid state.
- Polyethylene or cardboard can easily be provided in such a consistency or design that they are flexible in the longitudinal direction with the application of force, for example as polyethylene foam or as deliberately flexible cardboard blocks.
- the essence of the invention in a summary is that the storage mat in the area with which the space between the two exhaust treatment bodies bridged with a binding agent to create a bond Fiber crossing points and avoiding extensive void filling impregnated before it with the wire mat, the two exhaust treatment bodies and the storage area of the housing assembled becomes.
- the impregnation is preferably from that side of the Storage mat or swelling mat made after the assembly inside, and preferably the impregnation does not last until outside by.
- the swelling mat is axial in one or both End areas with a binder to create adhesive Fiber crossing points and avoiding extensive void filling impregnated after being treated with the two exhaust treatment bodies and the storage area of the housing assembled has been.
- This has proven to be a particularly favorable method of introduction Instillation of binder from the front of the relevant exhaust treatment body exposed. It is also from a number of Favorable reasons if the axial ends of the source mat in Comparison to the front sides of the exhaust gas treatment body there Pieces are reset.
- impregnations according to the invention are certainly also are sensible and can be carried out advantageously if you use an exhaust gas treatment device without wire mat, yes with regard to the end area impregnation even with just one exhaust treatment body in the case has to do
- the exhaust gas treatment device 2 shown in FIG. 1 has one Housing 4, which - in the flow direction from left to right progressing in Fig. 1 - from an inflow funnel 6, a storage area 8 and an outflow funnel 10.
- the inflow funnel 6 at its left end and the outflow funnel 10 at its right end with the one not shown Exhaust pipe welded.
- the inflow funnel 6 and the outflow funnel 10 are double-walled executed, between the outer wall 12 and the inner wall 14 an insulating mat 16 made of glass fiber felt, leached, is present.
- the Funnels 6, 10 and the storage area 8 of the housing 4 can be used the easiest to imagine is a circular cross section, although other cross-sectional shapes are also possible, in which case the Funnels 6, 10 produce a cross-sectional transition to the exhaust pipe have to.
- a storage mat 18 which is designed as a swelling mat two exhaust treatment body 20 in the longitudinal direction of the exhaust treatment device 2 or one behind the other in the flow direction of the exhaust gas held in the storage area 8. Between the two exhaust gas treatment bodies 20 there is a space 22, which in the Practice measures about 7 to 15 mm in the longitudinal direction.
- the storage mat 18 goes through and almost over the entire length of the storage area 8 bridges the gap 22. It ends, however, in each case short piece of a few millimeters in front of the one facing away from each other End faces 24 of the two exhaust gas treatment bodies 20.
- Fig. 2 shows the storage mat 18 in the spread on the plane of the drawing Condition, the later inside of the storage mat 18th is facing the reader.
- the storage mat has at one circumferential end 26 18 a rectangular in the viewing direction of FIG. 2 Projection 28, with a corresponding recess 30 on the other The circumferential end 32 of the storage mat 18 corresponds. If the storage mat around which two exhaust gas treatment bodies 20 are placed, as shown in Fig. 1, the projection 28 engages in the recess 30, so that no circumferential butt in the axial direction is continuous Storage mat 18 is present.
- an impregnation zone 34 is shown by dotting.
- the impregnation zone 34 is strip-shaped and runs in the (later) circumferential direction of the storage mat 18.
- the impregnation zone 34 is measured considerably in the longitudinal direction of the device 2 wider than the space 22, e.g. well twice as wide.
- the Impregnation zone 34 is by dripping or spraying one Binder, e.g. of a silane, facing the reader in FIG Flat side of the storage mat 18 is formed, wherein the binder in such an amount has been applied that not all of it Thickness of the storage mat 18 penetrates.
- the wire mesh strip is measured in Longitudinal direction of the device 2, less wide than the impregnation zone 34, but still significantly wider than the clearance space 22.
- the wire mesh strip consists of mutually parallel, first Wire threads 38 and parallel, second wire threads 40, wherein the second wire threads 40 are woven and closed with the first wire threads 38 these are rectangular.
- the wire threads are made of austenitic Steel, preferably steel 1.4401 (AISI 316), 1.4541 (AISI 321), 1.4828 (AISI 309) or 1.4841 (AISI 314 SS) with a wire thickness of 0.2 mm.
- the wire mesh strip is parallel to the direction of travel of the first wire threads 38, that is to say at 45 ° to the course the axial ends 44 of the wire mesh strip 36, cut off.
- To the Axial ends 44 are the wires 38, 40 to the support mat 18 turned. By pressing in these bent wire ends the wire mesh strip 36 hooked to the storage mat 18.
- the wire mesh strip 36 projects beyond the peripheral end 32 of the positioning mat 18, so far that this overhang 46 - after putting the pre-assembled unit out of the storage mat 18 and wire mesh strips 36 around the exhaust treatment body 20 - Slipped under the other end 48 of the wire mesh strip 36 can be.
- Fig. 1 shows the fully assembled state.
- the pre-assembled Unit made of storage mat and wire mesh strip combined with it 36 is placed around the two exhaust gas treatment bodies 20 in this way that the wire mat 36 the space 22 on its circumference bounded and on both sides an axial piece on the circumference of the Exhaust gas treatment body 20 rests.
- the Wire mat 36 and the storage mat 18 particularly well with the storage area To be able to assemble 8 of the housing 4 is preferred the storage mat 18 with a tough elastic adhesive the extent of the exhaust gas treatment body 20 has been glued. This The arrangement is then preferably in the axial direction in the tubular Storage area 8 has been inserted, in such a way that the end faces 24 of the exhaust gas treatment bodies facing away from one another 20 had a slightly larger distance from each other than the design Target distance in the fully assembled device 2 corresponds.
- binder e.g. a silane, on the upstream axial end region or on the applied to both axial end regions of the storage mat 18, e.g.
- the one described Type of set relative position of the end faces 24 of the exhaust gas treatment body 20 relative to the inner walls 14 of the two funnels 6, 10 is so that there is practically no or only a very narrow Gap between the outer edge of the relevant end face 24 and a region of the inner wall 14 of the funnel 6 or 10 in question, where this inner wall runs essentially in the radial direction.
- the wire mat 36 and the support mat 18 is the support mat 18 have been compressed to about 2/3 of their original strength, so that the Exhaust gas treatment body 20 also before the first heating of the storage mat 18 already with a certain preload in the housing 4 are supported.
- the adhesive between the storage mat 18 and the Scope of the exhaust gas treatment body 20 is such that it described displacement movements of the exhaust gas treatment body 20 allowed relative to the storage mat 18 during assembly. Here shift the exhaust gas treatment body 20 also by small ways relative to the wire mat 36.
- the described way of applying binder in the middle, strip-shaped impregnation zone 34 and in the two axial end regions 50 of the storage mat 18 has the advantage that the tool, with which the arrangement of the two exhaust gas treatment bodies 20, the Wire mat 36 and the storage mat 18 in the storage area 8 of the housing 4 is inserted, not contaminated with the binder becomes.
- 3 and 4 is a strip-shaped Wire mat 36 illustrated with two (when attached) circumferential paragraphs 52 is deformed, which reduces contact surfaces radial height for the end faces of the space 22 two exhaust gas treatment bodies 20 are formed.
- a ring-shaped insulating mat 54 is installed in the area of the wire mat 36, but measured somewhat less wide in the longitudinal direction of the device 2 as this. This consists of a glass fiber felt, leached to such a softening temperature of the glass fiber material that in operation is a tough elastic Protective film by sintering the glass filaments together Crossing points on the inside of the insulating mat 54 is formed.
- ring-striped Insulating mat only applies to the overall configuration the entire circumference of the mat can be divided into several parts, here three parts, divide that meet in the circumferential direction. If the fiberglass felt material shrinks somewhat under temperature stress, the gaps at the joints are still small enough. You can also see that each of the three mat parts is folded together is two-ply, with the peripheral joint on the cold mat side.
- the insulating mat 54 measured in the longitudinal direction of the device 2, less wide than the wire mat 36 so that the wire mat 36 in their two axial end regions each by a storage mat 18 against the circumference of an exhaust gas treatment body 20 is pressed.
- the spacing elements 58 are in Resilient longitudinal direction of the device 2 when axial force is applied and are e.g. as a polyethylene foam cushion or as a flexible one Cardboard blocks provided.
- FIG. 6 and 7 illustrate embossments 60 in the wire mat 36.
- both cases become bending lines or bulging profiles for the wire mat 36 given; working the wire mat 36 when exposed to temperature takes place more in an accordion-shaped structure.
- the embossments 60 are only provided where the wire mat 36 delimits the space 22 and not on the circumference of the exhaust gas treatment body 20 rests.
