Abstract:
A process and system for low NOx cogeneration to produce electricity and useful heat. Fuel and oxygen are provided to an internal combustion engine (10) connected to drive an electric generator (9), thereby generate electricity. An exhaust stream is recovered from the engine. Fuel is added to the exhaust stream to create a fuel-rich mixture. The fuel enriched stream is provided to an afterburner (18) to provide a heated oxygen-depleted stream. The oxygen-depleted stream is cooled in a first heat exchanger (22). Conversion oxygen is admixed with the cooled stream which is then passed over a catalyst bed (25) under overall reducing conditions. The stream from the reducing catalyst bed is cooled and air is added to produce a further cooled stream and the further cooled stream is passed over an oxidizing catalyst bed (26) to oxidize remaining combustibles.

Abstract:
Der Wärmetauscher einer schalldämpfend ausgebildeten, katalytischen Reinigungsvorrichtung für die Abgase von Brennkraftmaschinen, der Wärme aus den Auspuffgasen während der vom Katalysator vermittelten Reaktion abführt, ist in mindestens zwei Teilen unterteilt. Der erste Teil (4) des Wärmetauschers ist dazu bestimmt, die Temperatur des Abgases vor Eintritt in die Katalysatorkammer (7) auf die Reaktionstemperatur zwischen etwa 270 und 500°C einzustellen, die für die verschiedenen bekannten Verfahren jeweils am günstigsten ist. Nach Beendigung der vom Katalysator (8) vermittelten Reaktion werden die Abgase durch einen weiteren Teil (15) des Wärmetauschers geleitet.
Abstract:
A thermoelectric power generator includes a pipe (7) in which a first fluid flows, and a power generation module (1) including a thermoelectric conversion element (2). The thermoelectric power generator includes a holding member (3, 4) that is in contact with a one side part of the power generation module, such that heat of a second fluid that is higher in temperature than the first fluid transfers to the one side part of the power generation module. The holding member holds the power generation module and the pipe in a heat transferable state, such that the pipe is in contact with the other side part of the power generation module. The thermoelectric power generator includes a heat conductive component (6) interposed between the holding member and the pipe to define a heat transfer course through which heat transfers from the second fluid to the first fluid, at downstream of the power generation module in a flowing direction of the second fluid.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a heat recovery device particularly suitable for internal combustion engines, and more particularly suitable for engines incorporating a WHRS (waste heat recovery system). The device of the invention relates to the occasional recovery of heat from the exhaust gases where the invention carries out this function such that the main conduit where the exhaust gases circulate is not affected by a noticeable increase in heat loss due to the incorporation of said device. It provides a heat exchanger (3.6) and a bypass flap valve (3.8) upstream for selectively diverting the exhaust gases to the main exhaust conduit (1) or to the heat exchanger (3.6).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an arrangement for heating of an exhaust treatment component (5) in an exhaust line (3) of a combustion engine (2) in a vehicle (1). The vehicle (1) comprises a WHR system comprising an evaporator (7) in which a working medium is heated by the exhaust gases in exhaust line (3) and a charge air line (12) leading charged air to the combustion engine (2): The arrangement comprises a sensor (6) sensing a parameter related to the temperature of the exhaust treatment component (5), a heat transfer device able to transfer heat from the working medium in the WHR system to the charge air in the charge air line (12), and a control unit (10) configured to receive information from said sensor (6) about said parameter and to activate said heat transfer device such that the charged air in the charged air line (12) is heated during operating condition when said parameter indicates that the exhaust treatment component (5) has a lower temperature than a predetermined operating temperature.
