    摘要: An apparatus for reducing emissions that has a combustion turbine that feeds exhaust into a heat recovery steam generator (or HRSG) casing in which is positioned an emission reduction system featuring, in gas flow sequence, a first reducing reductant injector (RRI1), as in an ammonia injection grid, for providing reducing reductant, preferably ammonia, into turbine exhaust travelling within the HRSG, followed by a first SCR reactor positioned downstream of the first RRI1, followed by one of either (i) a turbulence generator (TG) as in a static mixer, or (ii) a second RRI2 as in a second ammonia injection grid, or (iii) an RRI2 with integrated TG supported on injectors of RRI2, then followed by a second SCR reactor. The emission reduction system preferably is free of a separate body oxidation catalyst or a separate body ammonia slip catalyst in an effort to utilize a limited volume within the HRSG. Methods of assembling and operating the ERS or T-H combination with ERS are also featured.

    摘要: A problem to be solved is to provide an exhaust promotion method, an exhaust promotion device, and an exhaust system improvement method for an internal combustion engine capable of further improving the exhaust efficiency by high-speed exhaust of exhaust gas.
    What is characteristic is that an exhaust gas discharged from the internal combustion engine is expanded in multiple stages repeatedly to reduce a temperature thereof, and thus exhaustion is performed while suppressing a behavior derived from a thermal energy of the exhaust gas.

    摘要: A method for predicting urea crystal build-up in an engine system when operating according to an intended drive cycle. The method includes providing data representing engine operational conditions for the internal combustion engine during the intended drive cycle, wherein the data comprises values for at least engine speed and engine torque distributed over a time period representing the intended drive cycle; determining values and time variation for at least one exhaust parameter during the time period of the intended drive cycle when the engine system is operated according to the engine operational condition data; providing a reference relation between values and time variation for the at least one exhaust parameter and an expected urea crystal build-up in the engine system when operating the engine system at different engine operational conditions, predicting urea crystal build-up in the engine system when operating according to the intended drive cycle by comparing the determined values and time variation for the at least one exhaust parameter with the reference relation.

    摘要: An aftertreatment system for a work vehicle includes: a fluid injector configured to inject a treatment fluid; a selective catalytic reducer (SCR) substrate; and a mixer fluidly coupled to the fluid injector and the SCR substrate and including at least one scroll defining a scroll open area and configured to receive a flow of exhaust gas and the treatment fluid. The mixer has a fixed wall and a plate displaceably coupled to the fixed wall, the plate being associated with the at least one scroll such that a change in a flow rate of exhaust gas into the at least one scroll passively causes displacement of the plate to adjust a size of the scroll open area.
