Comme illustré par la demande de brevet
L'invention vise à résoudre un ou plusieurs de ces inconvénients.The invention aims to solve one or more of these disadvantages.
Selon un premier aspect, l'invention concerne un dispositif de protection d'un injecteur de réducteur dans une ligne d'échappement d'un moteur à combustion, le dispositif de protection comprenant une paroi déflectrice qui est adaptée à empêcher un flux de gaz d'échappement provenant d'une portion amont de la ligne d'échappement d'entrer en contact avec l'injecteur, la paroi déflectrice comprenant une ouverture qui est associée à une cloison orientée de sorte qu'une partie de ce flux traverse l'ouverture et forme dans le dispositif de protection un flux tourbillonnaire accompagnant le flux de réducteur vers une portion aval de la ligne d'échappement, caractérisé en ce que la paroi déflectrice porte à son extrémité aval un mixeur statique adapté à pulvériser les gouttes de réducteur et à les homogénéiser avec les gaz d'échappement environnant.According to a first aspect, the invention relates to a device for protecting a gearbox injector in an exhaust line of a combustion engine, the protection device comprising a baffle wall which is adapted to prevent a flow of gas from a combustion engine. exhaust from an upstream portion of the exhaust line to contact the injector, the baffle wall including an opening which is associated with a partition oriented so that a portion of this flow passes through the opening and forms in the protective device a swirling flow accompanying the gear flow to a downstream portion of the exhaust line, characterized in that the deflecting wall carries at its downstream end a static mixer adapted to spray the drops of reducing agent and to homogenize them with the surrounding exhaust gases.
Par cette disposition particulière, il n'y a plus d'étape de mise en place du mixeur dans la conduite d'échappement du fait que la mise en place de ce dernier est réalisée lors de la mise en place du dispositif de protection. De plus, le mixeur étant porté par la paroi déflectrice qui s'étend essentiellement selon les directions principales du flux de gaz d'échappement externe au dispositif de protection et du flux interne à ce dispositif formé par le flux tourbillonnant et le flux de réducteur (et non pas porté par des dispositifs de fixation reliant le mixeur à la paroi de la conduite d'échappement qui s'étendent essentiellement selon une direction normale à la direction principale du flux de gaz d'échappement), les pertes de charge sont considérablement réduites. En outre, du fait de la libération du mixeur de la paroi de la conduite d'échappement, les dimensions du mixeur peuvent être adaptées au flux de réducteur, et sa position peut être adaptée à la configuration de la ligne d'échappement afin de limiter les pertes de charge.By this particular arrangement, there is more stage of introduction of the mixer in the exhaust pipe because the implementation of the latter is performed during the establishment of the protective device. In addition, the mixer being carried by the baffle wall which extends substantially along the main directions of the exhaust gas flow external to the protection device and the internal flow to this device formed by the swirling flow and the gear flow ( and not carried by fasteners connecting the mixer to the wall of the exhaust pipe which extend substantially in a direction normal to the main direction of the flow of exhaust gas), the pressure losses are considerably reduced . In addition, because of the release of the mixer from the wall of the exhaust pipe, the dimensions of the mixer can be adapted to the reducer flow, and its position can be adapted to the configuration of the exhaust line to limit the pressure drops.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation de ce premier aspect, le mixeur statique a une forme annulaire. Cette forme permet d'optimiser la répartition du réducteur dans les gaz d'échappement.According to a first embodiment of this first aspect, the static mixer has an annular shape. This shape optimizes the distribution of the reducer in the exhaust gas.
Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation, la paroi déflectrice a une forme conique divergente de l'amont vers l'aval. Cette forme permet d'éviter que le flux divergent du réducteur n'entre en contact avec la paroi.According to a second embodiment, the deflecting wall has a conical shape diverging from upstream to downstream. This shape prevents the divergent flow of the gearbox from coming into contact with the wall.
Selon un troisième mode de réalisation, la paroi déflectrice s'étend angulairement selon un secteur de 120° minimum à 360° maximum.According to a third embodiment, the deflecting wall extends angularly in a sector of 120 ° minimum to 360 ° maximum.
Selon un quatrième mode de réalisation, le mixeur est coaxial à l'axe générateur de la paroi déflectrice.According to a fourth embodiment, the mixer is coaxial with the generator axis of the deflecting wall.
Selon un cinquième mode de réalisation, la paroi déflectrice est réalisée en un matériau et est dimensionnée de façon à être adapté à transmettre à l'injecteur, par conduction, une énergie thermique conférant à ce dernier une température comprise entre 150 et 250 °C. Ainsi, le dispositif de protection permet de limiter les détériorations de l'injecteur du fait d'une température élevée (supérieure à 250 °C) tout en évitant un encrassement de celui-ci en la maintenant à une température suffisamment importante (au moins 150 °C) à partir de laquelle les éventuels cristaux de réducteurs qui tendent à s'accumuler fondent (en ce qui concerne l'urée, la température de fusion est proche de 135 °C) et sont donc entraînés par l'aspiration du flux tourbillonnaire.According to a fifth embodiment, the deflecting wall is made of a material and is dimensioned so as to be adapted to transmit to the injector, by conduction, a thermal energy giving the latter a temperature of between 150 and 250 ° C. Thus, the protection device makes it possible to limit the deterioration of the injector because of a high temperature (greater than 250 ° C.) while avoiding a fouling of the injector by maintaining it at a sufficiently high temperature (at least 150 ° C.). ° C) from which the possible crystals of reducing agents which tend to accumulate melt (with regard to the urea, the melting temperature is close to 135 ° C) and are therefore driven by the suction of the vortex flow .
Selon un second aspect, l'invention concerne une ligne d'échappement d'un moteur à combustion, comprenant une conduite d'échappement, une conduite annexe débouchant dans la conduite d'échappement entre une portion amont et une portion aval de cette dernière, un injecteur de réducteur fixé dans la conduite annexe et orienté de façon à générer un flux de réducteur dans la portion aval, un dispositif de protection conforme au premier aspect de la présente invention et fixé à la conduite annexe, et un mixeur statique adapté à pulvériser les gouttes de réducteur et à les homogénéiser avec les gaz d'échappement environnant, caractérisée en ce que le mixeur statique est porté par la paroi déflectrice.According to a second aspect, the invention relates to an exhaust line of a combustion engine, comprising a pipe an exhaust pipe, an auxiliary pipe opening into the exhaust pipe between an upstream portion and a downstream portion thereof, a gear injector fixed in the subsidiary pipe and oriented so as to generate a gear stream in the downstream portion, a protective device according to the first aspect of the present invention and attached to the subsidiary pipe, and a static mixer adapted to spray the drops of reductant and to homogenize with the surrounding exhaust gas, characterized in that the static mixer is carried by the deflecting wall.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation de ce second aspect, le mixeur statique est disposé à la jonction de la conduite annexe avec la conduite d'échappement.According to a first embodiment of this second aspect, the static mixer is disposed at the junction of the associated pipe with the exhaust pipe.
Selon un second mode de réalisation, la paroi déflectrice s'étend angulairement selon un secteur limité à la zone recevant le flux de gaz d'échappement provenant de la portion amont.According to a second embodiment, the deflecting wall extends angularly in a sector limited to the zone receiving the flow of exhaust gas from the upstream portion.
Selon un troisième mode de réalisation, l'injecteur et le dispositif de protection sont coaxiaux.According to a third embodiment, the injector and the protective device are coaxial.
Selon un quatrième mode de réalisation, l'injecteur et la portion aval sont coaxiaux.According to a fourth embodiment, the injector and the downstream portion are coaxial.

Une ligne d'échappement 1 d'un moteur à combustion comprend une conduite d'échappement 2. La partie de la conduite d'échappement 2 concernée par la présente invention est disposée entre le moteur et un dispositif catalytique de réduction des oxydes d'azote générés par la combustion du moteur.An
La ligne d'échappement 1 comprend également une conduite annexe 20 débouchant dans la conduite d'échappement 2 entre une portion amont 4 et une portion aval 5 de cette conduite d'échappement 2.The
La ligne d'échappement 1 comprend également une embase de fixation 3 fixée à la conduite annexe 20 (en l'occurrence, au fond de cette conduite annexe 20).The
La ligne d'échappement 1 comprend également un injecteur de réducteur (non illustré). Cet injecteur est fixé à l'embase de fixation 3 et est orienté de façon à générer un flux de réducteur dans la portion aval 5. Dans les présents exemples, l'injecteur et la portion aval 5 sont coaxiaux.The
La ligne d'échappement 1 comprend aussi un dispositif de protection 6 qui est adapté à protéger l'injecteur et qui est fixé à l'embase de fixation 3. Dans les présents exemples, le dispositif de protection 6 est sensiblement de forme cylindrique et possède un axe central 7 qui est identique à l'axe de l'injecteur. Dans les présents exemples, la fixation du dispositif de protection 6 à l'embase 3 a été réalisée par soudage.The
Le dispositif de protection 6 comprend une paroi déflectrice 8 qui est adaptée à dévier un flux de gaz d'échappement 9 provenant de la portion amont 4 de sorte que ce flux 9 n'entre pas en contact avec l'injecteur. De ce fait, l'injecteur est protégé contre les flux de gaz d'échappement qui sinon viendraient en contact contre la paroi 10 faisant face à la potion amont et, iraient, pour une partie, vers l'injecteur. Cette protection permet d'éviter une surchauffe de l'injecteur (et donc sa détérioration) par convection, la température des gaz d'échappement pouvant être supérieure à 600 °C, notamment lors des phases de régénération d'un filtre à particules disposé dans la ligne d'échappement 1.The
Dans les présents modes de réalisation, la paroi déflectrice 8 s'étend angulairement selon un secteur de 120° minimum à 360° maximum. De façon plus précise, vue sa fonction, la paroi déflectrice 8 s'étend angulairement selon un secteur angulaire qui est limité à la zone recevant le flux de gaz d'échappement 9 provenant de la portion amont 4.In the present embodiments, the
En outre, la paroi déflectrice 8 est de forme conique divergente de l'amont vers l'aval. Ceci permet d'éviter tout contact avec le flux de réducteur qui est lui-même divergent.In addition, the
La paroi déflectrice 8 comprend une ouverture 11 qui est associée à une cloison orientée 12. Ainsi, une partie 13 du flux de gaz d'échappement 9 provenant de la portion amont 4 traverse l'ouverture 11 et forme dans le dispositif de protection 6 un flux tourbillonnaire. Ce flux tourbillonnaire s'écoule hors du dispositif de protection 6, vers la portion aval 5 de la conduite d'échappement 2, et canalise le flux de réducteur. De ce fait, le flux tourbillonnaire empêche qu'une partie du réducteur retourne en direction de l'injecteur. Dans le cas où le réducteur utilisé est de l'urée, ceci permet d'éviter une cristallisation de celle-ci au niveau du nez de l'injecteur et don un encrassement de ce dernier.The
Le débit du flux tourbillonnaire dépend du nombre d'ouvertures 11 et de leur dimension, quant à la composante tangentielle du flux tourbillonnaire, elle dépend de l'orientation des cloisons 12.The flow rate of the vortex flow depends on the number of
Le dispositif de protection 6 transmet par conduction une énergie thermique à l'injecteur de sorte que sa température soit comprise entre 150 et 250 °C, une température trop élevée (supérieure à 250 °C) entraînant un risque de détérioration de l'injecteur, alors qu'une température trop basse (inférieure à 150 °C) entraînant un risque de cristallisation de l'urée et donc une obstruction de l'injecteur. La maîtrise de la température au niveau de l'injecteur (et plus particulièrement, au niveau du nez de ce dernier) dépend, d'une part, de la surface de la paroi déflectrice 8 qui entre en contact avec le flux de gaz d'échappement 9 en le déviant et qui donc, reçoit de l'énergie thermique de ce dernier, d'autre part, de l'épaisseur de la paroi déflectrice 8 qui peut être d'autant plus épaisse qu'elle est proche de l'embase de fixation 3 (par exemple, environ 4 mm au niveau de l'embase, et environ 1 mm à son extrémité libre aval), et, d'autre part, du matériau et notamment, de sa conductivité thermique et de sa capacité calorifique (les matériaux préférés étant l'aluminium, l'acier inoxydable, voire la fonte coulée).The
Par ailleurs, dans le second mode de réalisation, le dispositif de protection 6 comprend, à l'extrémité aval de la paroi déflectrice 8, un mixeur statique 14. Ce mixeur statique 14 est adapté à pulvériser les gouttes de réducteur de façon à réduire leurs dimensions et à faciliter, de ce fait leur homogénéisation avec les gaz d'échappement environnant.Furthermore, in the second embodiment, the
Dans le présent exemple, le mixeur statique 14 comporte une série d'ailettes 15 qui permettent cette pulvérisation. Comme illustré aux
Du fait de l'intégration du mixeur statique 14 au dispositif de protection 6, il n'y a plus d'étape spécifique de mise en place du mixeur dans la conduite d'échappement, cette mise en place étant réalisée lors de la mise en place du dispositif de protection.Due to the integration of the
De plus, le mixeur étant porté par la paroi déflectrice et non par la conduite d'échappement, les pertes de charge sont considérablement réduites. En effet, la paroi déflectrice 8 et le mixeur 14 qui en est le prolongement s'étendent principalement selon la direction de déplacement principale du flux de gaz d'échappement qui a été dévié par la paroi déflectrice 8 et du flux disposé de l'autre côté de cette paroi 8 (flux tourbillonnant et flux de réducteur), ce qui n'entraîne que peu de déviation de ces flux, contrairement aux dispositifs de fixation de l'art antérieur qui relient le mixeur à la paroi de la conduite d'échappement et qui s'étendent essentiellement selon une direction normale à cette direction de déplacement.In addition, the mixer being carried by the deflecting wall and not by the exhaust pipe, the pressure losses are considerably reduced. Indeed, the
En outre, du fait de sa déconnexion d'avec la paroi de la conduite d'échappement, les dimensions du mixeur 14 peuvent être adaptées au flux de réducteur, et sa position peut être adaptée à la configuration de la ligne d'échappement afin de limiter les pertes de charge. Il est ainsi possible de disposer le mixeur 14 au niveau de la jonction de la conduite annexe 20 avec la conduite d'échappement 2.In addition, because of its disconnection from the wall of the exhaust pipe, the dimensions of the
