    摘要: A method for detecting leaks in a plugged honeycomb structure includes directing a gas at a first end face of the honeycomb structure at a temperature that is different from a temperature of the honeycomb structure and observing a temperature distribution at a second end face of the honeycomb substrate using an infrared detector, wherein the gas directed at the first end face of the honeycomb structure emerges preferentially at the second end face of the honeycomb structure at locations where the cells in the honeycomb structure are defective and appear as thermal spots in the temperature distribution.

    摘要: A honeycomb structure for a diesel engine or an automotive engine where the wall thickness is varied in a controlled manner from the front surface to the back of the honeycomb. One example is grading the web thickness continuously from thin webs on the front of the DPF to thick webs on the back of the DPF. Another example is to make a two layer honeycomb with thinner walls and/or perhaps even lower cell density on the upstream side of the honeycomb. This provides a lower thermal mass front while retaining the thicker webs and higher thermal mass at the back of the honeycomb. The honeycomb structure has a thermal mass or heat capacity ranging from above 8.5×10−3cal/cubic cm-K to below 0.25 cal/cubic cm-K along an axis from the inlet end to the outlet end.

    摘要: A replaceable gravity-flow cyst-reducing water filter cartridge for placement in a water filter carafe, comprising a filter cartridge housing with a cap having a plurality of untreated water inlet ports, wherein the cap is sealingly attached to a top rim of the housing. The filter housing further comprises a gooseneck conduit that is connected to a lower region of the filter housing, with the gooseneck conduit having at one end a treated water outlet port that opens into a side surface of the filter housing. The filter housing also includes a packed bed of ion-exchange resin that is disposed in an upper region of the filter housing and a high surface area cyst-reducing filter element that is disposed in the lower region of the filter housing. The filter element provides at least 99.95% removal of 3-4 &mgr;m particles when tested in accordance with NSF standard 53, Drinking Water Treatment Units—Health Effects (September 1997). A bottom surface of the ion-exchange resin is in full contact with one side of a bottom screen, which is attached at the periphery to the side surface of the housing. The filter housing further has a first chamber separating the packed bed of ion-exchange resin from the cyst-reducing filter element and a second chamber proximate to the bottom surface of the filter housing, which is in fluid communication with the gooseneck conduit. The housing also includes an air vent conduit that is connected to the upper region of the filter housing, wherein the air vent conduit has an entry end that opens into the first chamber and an exit end that opens to the outside of the housing. The exit end is positioned above the treated water outlet port of the gooseneck conduit and the exit end is further covered with a hydrophobic membrane. The packed bed of ion-exchange resin and the cyst-reducing filter element each correspond in shape to the shape of the filter housing.
