Abstract:
An exhaust gas purification catalytic device 1 contains Pt, Pd, and Rh as catalytic metals. The catalytic metal Pt is loaded on silica-alumina which serves as a support, and Pt-loaded silica-alumina obtained by loading the Pt on the silica-alumina is contained in a catalytic layer with which an exhaust gas contacts first.
Abstract:
An electrically heatable honeycomb body assembly includes an electrical connection of sheet metal layers at a connection pin. A honeycomb body has a metal casing with an inner periphery, through which the connection pin is led in a bushing and electrically insulated. The sheet metal layers are alternately coarsely structured and finely structured or smooth sheets together forming a stack with uppermost and lowermost layers and channels for an axial gas flow between the layers. The connection pin runs radially approximately perpendicular to the layers and is metallically connected to at least two or all of the layers through at least one intermediate piece. The uppermost sheet metal layer preferably runs approximately parallel to the metal casing over at least 35% of the inner periphery and is separated therefrom only by an air gap. Simple production of an operationally safe and very uniformly electrically heatable honeycomb body is provided.
Abstract:
A system for uniform flow distribution of a reductant is disclosed. The system includes an injector lance and a diffuser assembly. The injector lance further includes a reductant supply conduit and an injector lance. The reductant supply conduit extends into an internal diameter of an exhaust conduit from a first end of the exhaust conduit towards a second end of the exhaust conduit. The injector lance is in communication with and extends perpendicular to the reductant supply conduit. The injector lance is located along a longitudinal axis of the exhaust conduit. The diffuser assembly is further collocated or integral with the injector lance.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a catalytically active material for reacting nitrogen oxides with ammonia in the presence of hydrocarbons. The material consists of an inner core (1) made of a zeolite exchanged with one or more transition metals or a zeolite-like compound exchanged with one or more transition metals. The core of the catalytically active material is encased by a shell (2), which is made of one or more oxides selected from silicon dioxide, germanium dioxide, aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, tin oxide, cerium oxide, zirconium dioxide, and mixed oxides thereof.
Abstract:
An exhaust-gas treatment device includes a honeycomb body wound and/or stacked with at least partially structured sheet-metal layers forming channels through which an exhaust gas can flow in axial direction from an inlet side to an outlet side. A first section of the sheet-metal layers ends flush at a first end surface associated with at least one of the sides and a second section of the sheet-metal layers ends at a second end surface associated with at least one of the sides. A spacing is provided between the first and second end surfaces because a first axial length of the first section is greater than a second axial length of the second section. The spacing forms a receptacle receiving a heating body, producing a simple electrically heatable exhaust-gas treatment device into which a heating body can be integrated during or after production of the honeycomb body.
Abstract:
An NOx purification system having a selective reduction catalyst, adapted so that even when no ammonia or urea is supplied, NOx is converted to ammonia by a first catalyst including a lean NOx catalyst or a ternary catalyst at ammonia formation control and the ammonia is adsorbed by the selective reduction catalyst disposed downstream and so that by the adsorbed ammonia, there is carried out reduction purification of the NOx contained in the exhaust gas when no ammonia formation control is performed by the selective reduction catalyst. At the ammonia formation control, an ammonia adsorption target amount being a target value of ammonia adsorbed by the selective reduction catalyst is computed, and the ammonia formation control is carried out only when a cumulative value of an ammonia formation amount formed by the first catalyst at the ammonia formation control is under the ammonia adsorption target amount. Consequently, ammonia is stably supplied in just proportion to the selective reduction catalyst.
Abstract:
A method of regulating an amount of NH3 stored in a catalyst of an exhaust after-treatment system includes determining a mass of NH3 into the catalyst based on a dosing rate of a dosing agent that is injected into an exhaust stream upstream of the catalyst and determining a mass of NH3 out of the catalyst. An accumulated mass of NH3 within the catalyst is calculated based on the mass of NH3 into the catalyst and the mass of NH3 out of the catalyst. The dosing rate is regulated based on the accumulated mass of NH3 within the catalyst.
Abstract:
In an internal combustion engine, an NOX selective reducing catalyst (15) is arranged in an engine exhaust passage. Aqueous urea is fed from an aqueous urea feed valve (17) into the NOX selective reducing catalyst (15) to selectively reduce the NOX contained in the exhaust gas with the ammonia generated from the aqueous urea. The moisture contained in the exhaust gas is recovered and stored in a water tank (21). It is provided with a high concentration aqueous urea tank (22) storing high concentration aqueous urea having a higher urea concentration than the urea concentration of the aqueous urea fed to the NOX selective reducing catalyst (15), and the high concentration aqueous urea is diluted with the recovered moisture thereby generating aqueous urea fed to the NOX selective reducing catalyst (15).
