Abstract: A microwave hydrolysis reactor for converting urea into ammonia has one or more reaction chambers into which a urea solution is fed via a feed device and a discharge device for discharging an ammonia-water mixture. A catalytic converter is arranged in the reaction chamber. A microwave-transmitting device allows irradiating so that energy is fed to the urea solution in the reaction chamber.

Abstract: A method is provided for the catalytic conversion of nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine. A reducing agent is added in a controlled manner upstream of a denitrification catalyst, as seen in exhaust gas flow direction, and in dependence on a nitrogen oxide concentration. The reducing agent is added in a superstoichiometric amount in relation to the nitrogen oxide content if an operating parameter and/or a value derived from the operating parameter falls below or exceeds a threshold value. The addition of the reducing agent is then terminated or continued in a substoichiometric manner. The invention provides a measure for obtaining an extremely high average nitrogen oxide conversion, especially under varying operating conditions of the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: Exhaust gas to be cleaned is introduced into a conversion and mixing duct and the exhaust gas flows through the duct along a predetermined longitudinal direction. A reducing agent, such as aqueous urea solution, is injected into the exhaust gas stream in the conversion and mixing duct. The exhaust gas stream is then deflected into a reaction duct which extends parallel to or coaxially around the conversion and mixing duct. The exhaust gas then flows in the opposite direction through the reaction duct. A reduction catalyst is disposed in the reaction duct, where the reducible components of the exhaust gas are reduced. The exhaust gas cleaned in this manner is then discharged from the reaction duct.

Abstract: Excessive NOx emission in a diesel internal combustion engine with SCR exhaust gas treatment is detected by a control unit. The excessive NOx emission value is determined from the catalytic-converter efficiency calculated for the metering of the reducing agent. In response, measures are taken, such as delayed start of the fuel injection, deactivation of a coasting cutoff, reducing an exhaust gas recirculation rate and/or increasing the idling speed. As a result, the NOx content in the untreated exhaust gas drops, the catalytic-converter temperature increases more quickly after a cold start, and the NOx emission is reduced.

Abstract: A static mixer in the exhaust emission control system of an excess-air-operated combustion engine is formed of an expanded grid with a plurality of openings formed between crossbars. Using an expanded grid achieves both good mixing of the exhaust gas with a reducing agent in a short mixing path and properly aligns the exhaust flow.
