    摘要: Both a system and method for detecting the presence or absence of internal discontinuities or inhomogeneities in a fired or green ceramic honeycomb structure is provided. The system includes a membrane disposed over a surface of the honeycomb structure, at least one ultrasonic transmitter that engages the membrane and transmits ultrasonic waves into the honeycomb structure, a translation assembly connected to the ultrasonic transmitter for sliding said transmitter across said membrane in a predetermined pattern, and an ultrasonic receiver that receives a modulated response from the ultrasonic waves transmitted into the honeycomb structure. The membrane is preferably plastic sheet material, such as polyester, having a temporary adhesive on one side and a thickness that is about one-quarter of the wavelength of the ultrasonic waves in order to avoid attenuation of the modulated response. In the method, the plastic sheet material is applied over the surface of the honeycomb structure via the temporary adhesive and the ultrasonic transmitter is simultaneously actuated while the translation assembly continuously slides the ultrasonic transmitter over the plastic sheet material in a predetermined scanning pattern.

    摘要: Methods of characterizing and measuring particulate accumulation in a family of particulate filters (10) are disclosed. The disclosure can be applied to diesel, gasoline and natural gas fueled engines, fluid streams bearing dust, and chemical and biological substances such as may be found in laboratory fluids, for example, air. In one embodiment, the disclosure is directed to measuring diesel particulate accumulation in a family of diesel particulate filters. The methods include measuring calibration complex terahertz transmission spectra (PC(f)) of at least a portion (17) of at least one particulate or diesel particulate filter in the family for different known particulate or diesel particulate amounts (ADP). The method also involves performing a partial least squares (PLS) analysis on the calibration complex terahertz transmission spectra to establish a calibration relationship between the complex terahertz transmission spectra and the particulate or diesel particulate amounts. The complex transmission spectrum of a subject particulate filter or diesel particulate filter having an unknown amount of particulate or diesel particulate accumulation is then determined and compared to the linear calibration relationship to establish a measured amount of particulates or diesel particulates. The methods include using a terahertz (THz) system (100) to obtain the complex terahertz transmission spectra for the calibration and subject particulate or diesel particulate filters.

The method also includes sequentially irradiating the cellular ceramic body through the second window using a detection laser beam. This probe irradiation is sequential at one or more second locations that correspond to the one or more first locations so that the acoustic waves associated with the plurality of optical paths are detected.

    摘要: Methods for determining when to regenerate an exhaust gas particulate filter (10), for regenerating, and for calibrating a pressure drop across such filters are disclosed. An example method involves reducing a first amount of particulates (52) accumulated in the filter to a residual amount RADP. The method also includes measuring the residual amount RADP by exciting the microwave resonant cavity (126) in which the filter resides with microwave radiation (182) and then monitoring the microwave cavity response. The method also includes using the measured value of RADP to calibrate a pressure drop threshold ΔPTH SO that it is representative of a limit (TDP) of particulate accumulation in the filter. The methods may also include regenerating the filter a number of times and each time re-setting the pressure drop threshold ΔPTH based on measurements of RADP taken after each filter regeneration.
