专利说明:

The invention relates to a method for exhaust aftertreatment having the features of the preamble of claim 1, as well as an exhaust aftertreatment device having the features of the preamble of claim 2.
In order to comply with the emission limit values of internal combustion engines, exhaust gas aftertreatment processes are frequently used. A known from the field of exhaust aftertreatment of caloric power plants process is the regenerative thermal oxidation (RTO), in which unburned hydrocarbons and other oxidizable exhaust gas constituents are thermally oxidized. In the regenerative thermal oxidation of the exhaust gas is first passed through a, usually made of ceramic bulk material or honeycomb bodies, heat storage to finally reach the reaction chamber. In the reaction chamber, the exhaust gas can be further heated by additional heaters until a thermal oxidation of the undesirable exhaust gas constituents can take place. Subsequently, the exhaust gas flows through another heat storage to the exhaust and is released into the environment. In operation, the flow direction is changed alternately, whereby the exhaust gas is preheated before reaching the reaction chamber, whereby an energy saving in the further heating of the exhaust gas sets. The additional heating can be set up by gas injection or burner (so-called support gas) or an additional electric heater. The reaction chamber usually has a free flow cross-section, whereby the residence time of the exhaust gas is increased in the reaction chamber and the oxidation can proceed in the form of a gas phase reaction. Carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH4) are particularly relevant among the species to be oxidised in the exhaust gas. Such a device is z. B. known under the brand name CL.AIR® by GE Jenbacher. In this process, exhaust gas is heated to about 700-800 ° C and there is the oxidation of the unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide to steam and carbon dioxide. The CL.AIR® thermoreactor is constructed as a regenerative heat exchanger and consists of two storage masses, a reaction chamber and a switching mechanism. The exhaust gas flows at a temperature of about 530 ° C coming from the engine via a
Switching mechanism in a first storage mass, where it is heated to about 800 ° C. In the reaction chamber, the exhaust gas reacts with the oxygen present, oxidizing carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water. When flowing through the second storage mass, the exhaust gas is again from heat and reaches at a temperature of 550 to 570 ° C, the switching mechanism, which it feeds the chimney or a downstream waste heat recovery.
Regenerative thermal oxidation offers a robust process with which even large exhaust gas mass flows can be economically treated.
Thermoreactors previously described are designed to oxidize both methane and carbon monoxide. This brings some disadvantages in operation.
In order to reduce carbon monoxide, a relatively high temperature and a relatively long residence time are required in the thermoreactor.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method and a suitable device for exhaust aftertreatment, wherein the temperatures in the thermoreactor and the required residence time can be reduced. The object is achieved by a method for exhaust aftertreatment with the features of claim 1, as well as an exhaust aftertreatment device having the features of claim 2. Advantageous embodiments are defined in the dependent claims.
It has surprisingly been found that it is better to carry out the oxidation of methane and the oxidation of carbon monoxide separately. The fact that the exhaust gas pretreated by the thermoreactor is catalytically oxidized, preferably catalytically oxidized in the thermoreactor, thus ensures that the thermoreactor must be designed for lower temperatures and a shorter residence time of the exhaust gas, and yet the carbon monoxide can be reduced to a satisfactory extent. It is thus provided according to the invention that methane is first reduced by thermal oxidation. The parameters in the thermoreactor are chosen so that a partial oxidation of
Methane, which produces carbon monoxide, instead of being reduced as conventionally used in thermoreactors. The resulting pretreated exhaust gas thus contains a larger amount of carbon monoxide than in the original exhaust stream, while unburned hydrocarbons, especially methane, are already oxidized. Subsequently, the thus pretreated exhaust gas is fed to a catalytic oxidizer. This can be provided, for example, as an oxidation catalyst consisting of a catalyst support medium, as is known, for example, for exhaust aftertreatment from the automotive sector.
Alternatively it can be provided that the oxidation catalytic converter is set up by catalytic coating of volume sections of the thermal oxidation catalytic converter. This can be achieved, for example, by providing volume sections of the ceramic storage material present in the thermal oxidation catalyst with a catalytically active surface or introducing other catalytically active materials.
An exhaust aftertreatment device according to the invention thus contains an input for exhaust gas, a thermal reaction zone and at least one catalytic reaction zone, wherein the at least one catalytic reaction zone downstream of the thermal reaction zone in the flow direction of the exhaust gas through the exhaust gas aftertreatment device.
By means of this arrangement it is achieved that the exhaust gas pretreated in the thermoreactor, which is rich in carbon monoxide, strikes the oxidation catalyst for the decomposition of carbon monoxide and there the carbon monoxide is decomposed by catalytic oxidation.
Particularly preferably, it can be provided that the thermal reaction zone and the at least one catalytic reaction zone are arranged in a common housing. This can be realized, for example, by integrating a volume section with catalytically active material into the reaction zone of the thermoreactor. Alternatively it can be provided that the catalytically active region is formed in the ceramic storage mass of the thermoreactor. This describes the case where a catalytically active region is formed by catalytic coating of part of the surface of the ceramic bulk material of the thermoreactor.
Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the catalytic reaction zone of the thermal reaction zone is connected downstream of the exhaust gas aftertreatment device in a housing separate from the thermal reaction zone in the flow direction of the exhaust gas. This embodiment describes the case where the thermoreactor and the oxidation catalyst are realized as separate components. Thus, in this case, a thermoreactor is provided which corresponds in terms of its design to the prior art and downstream of which an oxidation catalytic converter is connected downstream.
The invention will be explained in more detail by the figures. Showing:
1 is a schematic representation of an internal combustion engine with an exhaust gas aftertreatment device,
2 is a schematic representation of an internal combustion engine with an exhaust gas aftertreatment device in an alternative embodiment,
Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of an internal combustion engine with exhaust aftertreatment according to the prior art.
The following is the detailed description of the figures. 1 shows a schematic representation of an internal combustion engine 1, which is connected via the exhaust manifold 2 with the exhaust gas aftertreatment device 3. Through the switching mechanism 4, the flow direction of the exhaust gas through the thermoreactor 11 can be changed. Thus, during operation, the flow direction of the exhaust gases can first be carried out alternately by the storage mass 5, the thermal reaction zone 7 and the storage mass 6. Upon reversal of the flow direction, the exhaust gas flows first through storage mass 6, then through the thermal reaction zone 7 and finally through storage mass 5. After flowing through the exhaust gas aftertreatment device 3, the exhaust gas leaves the system via line 8 and becomes a chimney or a waste heat recovery (both not shown). fed. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, the volume sections 9 of the storage masses 5 or 6 facing the reaction chamber 7 are provided with a catalytic coating or a catalytically active material. During operation of the exhaust gas aftertreatment device 3, the volume sections 9 thus assume the task of catalytic oxidation of the exhaust gas pretreated in the thermal reaction zone 7 of the thermoreactor.
Plotted for completeness is the control / regulating device 12, which can receive signals from the internal combustion engine 1 and the exhaust gas aftertreatment device 3 on the one hand, and can also send commands to actuators of the exhaust gas aftertreatment device 3 on the other hand. Also shown is the fuel line 13, via which the internal combustion engine 1 with fuel, such as propellant, is supplied. On the fuel line 13, a branch can be provided, via which the thermoreactor 11, if necessary supporting gas can be supplied to the additional heating.
Figure 2 shows a schematic representation of an internal combustion engine 1 with an exhaust aftertreatment device 3 analogous to Figure 1, but here the exhaust aftertreatment device 3 from a thermoreactor 11, consisting of storage masses 5 and 6, and a thermal reaction zone 7 and a downstream of the thermoreactor provided in line 8 oxidation catalyst 10 is formed. Again, via the switching mechanism 4, the flow direction can be changed by the thermoreactor 11 alternately. The thermoreactor 11 has no catalytically coated volume sections in this embodiment. The pretreated in the thermoreactor 11 exhaust gas flows through the oxidation catalyst 10 and is directed from there to a chimney or exhaust gas heat recovery (both not shown).
FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of an internal combustion engine 1 with an exhaust gas aftertreatment device according to the prior art. Here, a thermoreactor without catalytically coated zones is formed.
