Definitions
- the present application relates to an engine exhaust gas additive storage system.
- SCR selective catalytic reduction
- ammonia may originate from the thermal decomposition of a solution of an ammonia precursor, the concentration of which may be the eutectic concentration.
- An ammonia precursor such as this is generally a solution of urea.
- the high levels of NO x produced in the engine during combustion at optimized efficiency are treated in a catalytic converter as they leave the engine.
- This treatment requires the use of the reducing agent at a precise concentration and extreme quality.
- the solution is thus metered accurately and injected into the exhaust gas stream where it is hydrolysed before converting the oxide of nitrogen (NO x ) into nitrogen (N 2 ) and water (H 2 0).
- the vehicles To do this, it is necessary for the vehicles to be equipped with a tank containing a solution of additive (generally an aqueous urea solution) and with a device for metering and injecting the desired amount of additive into the exhaust system.
- a solution of additive generally an aqueous urea solution
- the additive tank elements such as a level gauge, a temperature sensor, a quality sensor, a resistive heating element, etc.
- Patent application WO 2007/141312 in the name of the applicant discloses such a tank comprising an "immersed" flange positioned through an opening made in the bottom wall of the tank, which is preferably a blow moulded tank made from HDPE (High Density Poly Ethylene), said flange comprising at least one orifice through which a system for injecting the said additive into the exhaust gases can be fed, and also incorporating at least one other active component of the storage system and/or of the injection system.
- this flange integrates a liquid trap from where the pump sucks liquid additive.
- 2011/0155742 additionally describes how a heater (shaped as a resistive heating wire) can advantageously be integrated to such a flange.
- the idea behind the present invention is to find a tank geometry allowing to easily insert a heater which can extend much more broadly into the tank interior and/or enabling (if required) not to use an immersed flange but instead, to realise the direct connection of the pump module through an opening in the tank.
- the object of the invention is therefore a system for storing an internal combustion engine exhaust gas liquid additive, and comprising a tank for storing the additive, said tank being made as two halve shells which are manufactured as two separate parts which are assembled, at least one of said shells comprising an active component fixed inside of it.
- the lower and/or the upper shell integrate(s) a heater for which said tank shell is an essential part assuring either a support for said heater, or the heating itself by conductivity (for heat generation by passing current through at least part of the tank wall which would be made of conductive material), or even: a combination of both.
- Said integration may be done through the inside and/or through the outside of the tank.
- lower shell are in fact, in the context of the invention, intended to denote the bottom half of the tank (when in use), and similarly, the terms “upper shell” are intended to denote the top half of the tank.
- the additive to which the invention relates is an additive that is liquid under normal conditions of use. It is preferably a reducing agent capable of reducing the NO x present in the exhaust gases of internal combustion engines, and more preferably, urea.
- urea is understood to mean any, generally aqueous, solution containing urea.
- the invention gives good results with eutectic water/urea solutions for which there is a standard quality: for example, according to the standard DIN 70070, in the case of the AdBlue® solution (commercial solution of urea), the urea content is between 31.8% and 33.2% (by weight) (i.e. 32.5 +/- 0.7 wt%) hence an available amount of ammonia between 18.0%) and 18.8%.
- the invention may also be applied to the urea/ammonium formate mixtures, also in aqueous solution, sold under the trade name
- DenoxiumTM and of which one of the compositions (Denoxium-30) contains an equivalent amount of ammonia to that of the Adblue® solution.
- the latter have the advantage of only freezing from -30°C onwards (as opposed to -11°C), but have the disadvantages of corrosion problems linked to the possible release of formic acid.
- the present invention is particularly advantageous in the context of eutectic water/urea solutions.
- the present invention may be applied to any internal combustion engine likely to generate NO x in its exhaust gases.
- This may be an engine with or without a fuel return line (that is to say a line returning any surplus fuel not used by the engine to the fuel tank). It is advantageously applied to diesel engines and, in particular, to diesel engines of vehicles.
- the tank is made of two shells.
- at least one of these shells is made by injection moulding a plastic and even more preferably: they both are.
- the lower shell is made by injection moulding and it integrates (as moulded in one piece with it) the above mentioned liquid trap.
- the liquid trap (either moulded in one piece with the lower shell or being fixed on an opening through it) is, in particular, highly suited for supporting accessories which pass through the wall of the hollow body and/or are positioned inside the latter. It has a perimeter that is closed up on itself, of any shape.
- the bottom of this liquid trap comprises at least one orifice through which a system for injecting the said additive into the exhaust gases can be fed.
- This feed may be achieved simply under gravity via an injection line passing through said orifice.
- the system is fed by a pump.
- the above mentioned orifice may be made directly in the tank wall when said trap is integrated to the lower shell thereof, or it may be pierced through an immersed flange as described above.
- the lower shell of the tank according to the invention incorporates several components that are active in storage and/or metering and even more preferably, it incorporates/supports most of the active components which need to be in contact with the liquid additive inside, leaving or entering the additive tank.
- the component is chosen from the following group: a pump; a filter; a level gauge; a heater; a temperature sensor; a quality sensor; a pressure sensor; a pressure regulator; a venturi tube.
- the heater may comprise a heat exchanger of given capacity, or a resistive heating element.
- Said heater may for instance be a flexible heater exhibiting a multilayer structure consisting of a resistive element insulated between two layers of elastomer (silicone for instance).
- elastomer silicon for instance.
- the use of a flexible heater allows it to be adapted to suit a great many flanges.
- the flange comprises nipples
- the heater is equipped with tabs which can be inserted inside the nipples of the flange thus avoiding plugs from forming at low temperatures if the solution of precursor freezes.
- Such heaters and their use in SCR systems is described in more detail in patent application WO
- the heater comprises a resistive wire as described in the above mentioned US 20110155742 patent application, the content of which is also incorporated by reference in the present application.
- the resistive wire is mounted on a support, preferably a flexible net, which is in turn mounted on a part integral with one of the tank shells.
- said support is mounted in/on the afore mentioned liquid trap as described in said US application.
- Preferred embodiments of the present invention consists of: a wire heater positioned inside at least one of the tank shells, a wire heater positioned outside at least one of the tank shells, or a combination of both.
- the present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a system as described hereinabove.
- it relates to a method for manufacturing the storage tank of this system, said method comprising the following steps: - injection- moulding two plastic shells; - fixing at least one active component in at least one of the shells;
- the plastic may be HDPE; alternatively, it may be a polyacetal and, in particular, POM (polyoxymethylene); a polyphtalamide (an AMODEL ® resin for instance); or a polyamide (for example nylon-6,6).
- POM polyoxymethylene
- AMODEL ® resin for instance
- polyamide for example nylon-6,6
- reinforced grades for example glass-fibre-reinforced plastics
- At least the lower shell of the tank is equipped with means for fixing a heating wire to it.
- Said means may for instance be upstanding pins preferably bearing slots, grooves, supporting baffles or the like, where the wire can easily be fixed (for instance by means of a robot) before the shells are assembled.
- these pins are moulded in one piece with the tank shell (preferably by injection moulding).
- Figure 1 shows 2 partial views of a lower tank shell equipped with a resistive heating wire
- Figure 2 shows a detail of an embodiment of fixing means of said wire
- Figure 3 shows a schematic vertical cut through a tank equipped with a resistive heating wire in a given configuration
- Figure 4 shows an embodiment where the heating wire is external to the tank (embodiment that is also interesting independently of the invention claimed in the present
- Figure 5 shows an embodiment with a different fixing means than the one illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2.
- Figure 1 shows how a heating wire (1) is fixed inside the lower shell (2) of a tank by means of vertical pins (3) bearing several portions in relief (3', see detail in Figure 2) so that the heating wire can be wound around them several times, increasing the volume of liquid that can be thawed.
- the left view shows a liquid trap (4) moulded in one piece with the lower shell (2) into which a pump (5) is fixed.
- the right view is a side view of the shell.
- the configuration shown in these views allows covering a large portion of the tank (typically at least 10%, more preferably at least 50% and ideally up to 100%) of the lower tank shell) so that most of the AdBlue® solution can be thawed.
- the embodiment shown there and in Figures 2 and 3, can include at least one of the following options:
- the wire can be fixed inside the shell in one or multiple layers
- the holding means can allow wire attachment with a robot - said holding means can be integrally made with the tank shell (preferably by injection moulding)
- baffle protection to avoid damage resulting from ice or liquid displacements
- the wire may be in single or multiple circuits electrically independent; the portion near the suction pump can be activated first, followed by periphery
- the wire(s) can have a PTC effect
- the wire(s) can have a protective layer resistant to the H3 precursor (AdBlue or other)
- the wire(s) may be positioned mainly at the bottom of the tank, but with portions placed upwards (see 6 in Figure 3) insuring that blocks of ice (see 7 in Figure 3) are cut up to the top of the tank so that they can fall dawn (see arrows) and melt
- the wire(s) can be attached or put along a small tube whose fast thawing allows to insure fast feeding of the pump / exhaust system
- the wire(s) may be partially or totally mounted on an intermediate mesh allowing fast mounting in the tank shell
- the wire(s) can be attached to the lower or to the upper shell only
- the tank is made from half shells (injected (preferred)), but the use of a preassembled mesh could also be applied to a tank which is a single element (blow moulded for instance) where a preassembled mesh would be inserted and fixed.
- the wire is external to the tank and although it can be used in the frame of the present invention (with a tank moulded as two half shells), it applies as well to tanks moulded as single pieces.
- this material can be a good thermal conductor
- Tank shell can be made from half shells (injected (preferred)), or as a single element (blow moulded).
- FIG. 5 shows an embodiment with a different fixing means than the one illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, namely: with small baffles (3") instead of vertical pins (3), said baffles (3") also having portions in relief (3" ') - which may for instance be holes (left bottom view) or indentations (right bottom view) - to fix the wire.
