Definitions
- the present invention relates to an applicator and systems, devices and methods for applying a coating medium to a substrate.
- the substrates themselves are used, for example, in catalytic exhaust aftertreatment, particularly in the automotive sector.
- Substrates or substrate monoliths are used as catalyst supports in the chemical industry. They also play an important role in the treatment of car exhaust fumes.
- a large number of catalytic exhaust gas purification technologies have been developed, the basic principle of which is usually based on the fact that the exhaust gas to be purified passes through a substrate, e.g. a flow-through or a wall-flow honeycomb body or -monoliths (wall-flow) with a catalytically active coating applied to them.
- the catalyst promotes the chemical reaction of various exhaust gas components to form harmless products such as carbon dioxide and water.
- the flow-through or wall-flow monoliths just described are also referred to as catalyst supports, carriers or even substrate monoliths, as they carry the catalytically active coating on their surface or in the pores of the wall that form this surface.
- the catalytically active coating is generally applied to the catalyst support in a coating process in the form of a suspension (often referred to as a “washcoat” in the case of catalysts for exhaust gas purification).
- washcoat in the case of catalysts for exhaust gas purification.
- Many such processes have been published in the past by car exhaust catalyst manufacturers (WO9947260A1, EP2521618B1, EP1136462B1, EP1900442A1).
- An important aspect of such processes is the precise and uniform coating of the insides of the channels of such catalyst supports with the coating medium (washcoat), particularly with regard to, for example, coating length in the openings of the substrate, the amount of coating applied, the uniformity of the coating thickness, the uniformity of the coating length or of coating gradients along the longitudinal axis of the catalyst support, as well as in the production of layered or zoned coating designs.
- the coating medium washcoat
- EP2415522A1 shows such a coating process for catalyst supports, in which the coating medium is applied to a substrate from above.
- the coating medium is guided into a cavity via a feed line via a stamp and then applied to the substrate through the nozzles of an end plate.
- the entire amount of coating medium for the catalyst support is first introduced into an area above the substrate and then through Applying a negative pressure sucked into the channels.
- the area above the catalyst support can be limited laterally by a jacket. In order to obtain a large number of uniformly coated substrates in industrial production, it is necessary that exactly the same amount of coating medium is always applied evenly in the area above the substrate.
- the coating medium is discharged from the end plate with excess pressure. In this way, a precisely defined amount of the relatively viscous coating medium can be evenly applied and distributed in the area above the substrate. If the pressure is too low, undesirable variations in quantity and distribution would result because, for example, part of the coating medium remains in the nozzles of the end plate, drips in an undesirable manner or can accumulate below the end plate. If, on the other hand, the coating medium is discharged with excess pressure, a defined amount can be precisely dosed and evenly distributed. However, discharge under excess pressure can have the undesirable effect that when the coating medium hits the substrate and then fills the area above the substrate, irregularities can occur, which result in uneven coatings.
- Such undesirable effects are particularly problematic on an industrial scale, where a catalyst support is coated within a short time.
- an automated coating process generally takes less than 20 seconds, and often only about 4 to 10 seconds.
- coated substrates can differ from one another and significant irregularities in the thickness, uniformity and depth of the coating can occur the channels.
- 7 of the present application shows, by way of example, a cross section of a catalyst support that was coated using a typical method according to the prior art. Although the coating medium from the end plate is applied evenly and was sucked into the channels of the substrate, the channels were not evenly coated.
- zones with different catalytic coatings must be as close to one another as possible, but at the same time must not overlap. Therefore, flat and straight zone profiles are of particular importance for such multiple coatings.
- the invention is based on the object of providing devices and methods with which a precise and uniform coating of substrates with coating media can be achieved.
- a uniform application of coating media should be achieved in the parallel channels of catalyst supports for exhaust gas purification devices, so that the channels can be coated over a length that is as uniform and defined as possible.
- the processes should be efficient, quick and can be carried out on an industrial scale with high throughput.
- the object on which the invention is based is achieved by an applicator, methods and uses according to the patent claims.
- the subject of the invention is an applicator for coating a substrate with a coating medium, the applicator having at least one supply line for the coating medium, an end plate with at least one nozzle for applying the coating medium to the substrate and a cavity in which the coating medium is located before application can distribute the substrate, characterized in that at least one nozzle is inclined laterally.
- the coating medium is first introduced into the cavity of the applicator through a supply line and then pressed out of the cavity through the nozzles of the end plate under the influence of pressure.
- the applicator allows the precise dosage of the coating medium onto a substrate, such as a substrate monolith for car exhaust aftertreatment.
- the applicator is used to apply a defined amount of the coating medium that is to be applied to a substrate to an area above the substrate.
- the area above the substrate can, for example, be limited at the bottom by the end face of the substrate (with the openings of the channels) and on the sides by a collar.
- the coating medium remains in the area above the substrate during discharge from the applicator without applying a negative pressure and sucking in the coating medium. Only when the entire amount of the coating medium with which the substrate is to be coated has been introduced into the area is it sucked from the area into the substrate by applying a negative pressure.
- the applicator is designed in such a way that it has approximately the diameter and/or shape of the end face of the substrate to be coated. Large diameter substrates require larger applicators than smaller ones. As a rule, the applicator has a diameter in the range of 50 - 400 mm, more preferably 75 - 350 mm.
- the cross section of the area preferably corresponds to the cross section of the substrate and that of the end plate. In this way, uniform filling of the area, followed by uniform suction of the coating medium into the substrate, can be achieved.
- the end plate preferably has a symmetrical cross section, viewed from the top view in the direction in which the coating medium is discharged becomes.
- the end plate can, for example, have a circular, oval, trapezoidal, square, rectangular or polygonal, such as hexagonal, cross section.
- the shape of the connection plate is preferably adapted to the cross section of the catalyst support.
- the cross section of the end plate is preferably circular or oval. On the one hand, this is advantageous because catalyst supports often have a circular or oval cross section.
- a particularly uniform application of the coating medium to the catalyst support is made possible with a round end plate which has laterally inclined nozzles.
- a particularly uniform, round application pattern can be obtained with a large number of laterally inclined nozzles.
- the geometry of the nozzle arrangement essentially corresponds to the cross section of the plate.
- the nozzles on a circular end plate are preferably arranged in a circular pattern. This is advantageous in order to make maximum use of the space in the applicator and to prevent the coating medium from being applied to partial areas of the catalyst support or only being applied unevenly.
- the end plate preferably has a thickness of 2 - 10 mm, more preferably 4 - 5 mm.
- the end plate preferably has the shape of a disk.
- the cross section of the end plate is preferably circular, with the shape preferably being cylindrical. Such round configurations enable a particularly uniform or symmetrical arrangement of the nozzles, and thereby a uniform application of the coating medium to the substrate.
- the coating medium is discharged from the applicator through the nozzles on the end plate.
- the end plate preferably has a large number of nozzles.
- the term nozzle refers to the component of the end plate from which the coating solution is applied to the substrate.
- the nozzles include flow channels with openings on the inlet side and the outlet side of the end plate. At the inlet side, the coating solution can be pressed from the cavity in the applicator into the channels of the nozzles.
- the coating medium is discharged at the outlet side and applied to the substrate.
- at least one nozzle is inclined. “Inclined” means that the nozzle is not arranged at right angles to the end plate, as with conventional plates, but is inclined relative to the end plate. If the plate is not flat, the nozzle is inclined compared to the view of the end plate from the lower side, i.e. the discharge side.
- the inclination of the nozzle is lateral. “Sideways” means that the nozzle, when viewed from above the end plate (from below), is not inclined exclusively towards the center of the end plate or away from the center of the end plate (outwards). The lateral direction is therefore the direction that is at right angles to the direction towards the center. The lateral inclination of the nozzle causes the coating medium to be discharged laterally obliquely from the nozzle, at least partially in a direction that does not lead towards or away from the center.
- laterally inclined means that the nozzle, when viewed from above the end plate, is inclined exclusively or, among other things, in a tangential direction.
- the tangential direction is at right angles to the radial direction of the round or oval end plate.
- the at least one nozzle is essentially inclined laterally. This means that the nozzle is either only inclined laterally (tangentially) or that the inclination deviates only slightly from the only lateral direction (for round or oval plates: the tangential direction), for example by less than 10°, in particular by less than 5 °. This means that the nozzle is not or only slightly inclined towards the center of the plate or outwards (in the radial direction).
- the coating medium is essentially or only discharged to the side, but not or only slightly towards the center or the edges of the coating plate. This has the advantage that the coating solution does not accumulate anywhere on the substrate, especially if the majority of the nozzles are aligned in the same way.
- the nozzles are inclined towards the center, more coating medium is applied towards the center. If the nozzles are tilted outward, more coating medium is applied toward the outside while less is discharged toward the center. For even application, a slight inclination of the laterally inclined nozzles towards the center can also be advantageous, so that each nozzle is slightly inclined towards the neighboring nozzle.
- the lateral inclination of the nozzle means that the coating medium is not discharged from the nozzle in a vertical jet from the end plate, but rather diagonally to the side. Surprisingly, it was found that a particularly uniform coating can be obtained if the nozzles of the end plate are inclined laterally. It is assumed that in this embodiment it is particularly advantageous that the coating medium impacts the substrate laterally.
- the coating medium in the form of oblique jets probably also causes it to be distributed more evenly on the substrate.
- the laterally inclined nozzles may also cause the coating medium on the substrate to quickly spread in a lateral direction after impact, thereby further weakening the impact force of the jets during the further application process.
- the individual channels of the substrate can be coated particularly evenly, and in particular a particularly uniform penetration depth can be achieved.
- a laterally inclined nozzle can consist of a straight hole in the end plate and a laterally inclined nozzle on the outlet side.
- the angle of inclination of the at least one nozzle is 2 and 50°, preferably 10 to 40°, and particularly preferably 15 to 30°.
- the inclination is defined in relation to a view of the plate from below. It has been found that the advantages in terms of the uniformity of the coated products can be particularly pronounced at such angles of inclination.
- the majority of nozzles in the end plate preferably have a lateral inclination. According to the invention, it is preferred that at least 80%, in particular at least 90% or at least 95% of the nozzles in the end plate are inclined laterally. In a preferred embodiment, the nozzles are not or only slightly inclined towards the center or outwards (in the radial direction).
- the end plate according to the invention preferably has a large number of nozzles.
- the end plate preferably has 10 to 500 nozzles, in particular 60 to 320 nozzles or particularly preferably 95 to 225 nozzles. Such a high number of nozzles enables uniform application of the coating medium and can reduce local variations in the coating.
- the nozzles are preferably arranged as uniformly as possible and at the same distance from one another as possible. In a preferred embodiment, all nozzles have the same distances from the neighboring nozzles. Such arrangements are advantageous in order to achieve the most uniform possible introduction of the coating medium and the most uniform possible coating of the substrate.
- the end plate has laterally inclined nozzles and optionally a central nozzle.
- the central nozzle can be non-slanted or tilted. All nozzles are preferably inclined laterally, with the central nozzle not being inclined.
- the end plate does not have a central nozzle, but rather at least one inclined nozzle, which directs the jet obliquely towards the center of the catalyst carrier (in top view). In this way, the coating medium can be applied evenly, even without a central nozzle in the end plate, and also onto the center of the catalyst support.
- all nozzles of the end plate are arranged symmetrically, in particular rotationally symmetrically.
- the laterally inclined nozzles are arranged in concentric circles around the central non-inclined nozzle.
- the plate preferably comprises a central nozzle and 2 to 9 hole circles, each with 6 to 54 nozzles in the periphery.
- the nozzles are spaced as evenly apart as possible.
- the arrangement in concentric circles is particularly advantageous because a uniform distribution of the nozzles can be made possible in a simple structural manner.
- the nozzles of a concentric circle are aligned the same. Each nozzle can be tangential in the same way or inclined towards an adjacent nozzle. This achieves a particularly uniform distribution of the coating medium on the substrate.
- the nozzles are arranged spirally. The nozzles are aligned spirally from the center of the plate outwards. Even with such an arrangement, a uniform application of the coating medium to the substrate can be achieved.
- the distance between the nozzles is between
- the diameter of the discharge opening of the nozzles is preferably between 0.5 and 5 mm, particularly preferably between 1.6 and 3 mm. All nozzles in the plate preferably have discharge openings of the same diameter. This enables particularly even application and coating of the substrate. With such nozzles, coating media can be applied particularly efficiently to substrates that are catalyst supports for exhaust gas purification devices with fine parallel channels.
- the coating medium is applied unevenly to the substrate. In this way it can be achieved that the coating has a gradient.
- a gradient can be achieved, for example, if the outlet openings of the nozzles in partial areas of the plate are different from one another and/or if the inclination of the nozzles is varied so that more coating solutions are discharged in some areas than in other areas.
- the nozzles are designed in the shape of a nozzle. This means that they protrude from the end plate towards the discharge side.
- the design as a socket is advantageous because a lateral inclination can be set in a relatively simple and stable manner and it makes it more difficult to glue the plate from below.
- the nozzles preferably have a length of 5 mm - 15 mm, more preferably a length of 6 - 8 mm.
- the height of the elevation above the edge of the end plate is around 0.5 - 2.9 mm, more preferably 1.5 - 2.5 mm.
- the nozzles of the nozzle have a concave or countersunk nozzle towards the outflow.
- the distance between the nozzles is preferably in the range of
- the nozzles can be channels that do not protrude from the plate, for example in the form of holes.
- the preferably nozzle-shaped nozzles in the end plate can have any shape and cross section (e.g. channels, slots, circles, spirals, etc.). In the simplest case, the nozzles are channels with a round cross-section.
- the nozzles and/or outlet openings of the end plate are preferably the same size.
- the cavity, the end plate with their nozzles are preferably coordinated with one another in terms of their dimensions and design, so that there is a homogeneous distribution of the coating medium on the substrate to be coated.
- the entire applicator is preferably made of plastic. However, it can also be made entirely of metal. The materials are chosen so that they are compatible with the catalytically active coating for car exhaust aftertreatment.
- the preferred plastic material used is PE-HD 1000.
- Metal parts are preferably made of stainless steel equivalent or similar to material number 1.4571 (X6CrNiMoTi17-12-2).
- a baffle plate is arranged in the cavity, which blocks the flow of the coating medium from the supply line to at least one opening.
- the coating medium is preferably metered into the applicator using a pump.
- the baffle plate can be arranged statically.
- the baffle plate can alternatively be reversibly movable. It preferably blocks the flow of the coating medium in the unpressurized state, while when pressure is exerted by the coating medium on the baffle plate, the flow of the coating medium from the supply line to at least one opening is permitted.
- the pressure that is built up via the coating medium serves to move the impact plate of the applicator so that the path to the end plate opens.
- the coating suspension can then be pressed into the cavity of the applicator, for example through nozzles in the baffle plate. Due to the baffle plate inside the applicator, which closes in the depressurized state, the coating medium does not drip onto the front side of the substrate. With such a displaceable baffle plate, the accuracy of dosing the coating medium onto the substrate can be increased even further.
- the applicator and methods can be used to coat a variety of substrates. It is preferred that the interior of the substrate is coated.
- the substrate preferably has a plurality of channels, which are in particular parallel to one another, and which are specifically loaded with the coating medium from one side, in particular by suction.
- the substrate is particularly preferably a catalyst support for exhaust gas aftertreatment.
- the channels are preferably filled in such a way that their insides are coated, but are not completely filled, so that they are still permeable to fluids, such as exhaust gases, after the coating has dried.
- the coating medium used here is usually a suspension (slurry, washcoat), which may have acidic or basic properties, or at least has a very abrasive effect (see further below). This must be taken into account accordingly in the advantageous design of the applicator according to the invention.
- the coating media to be used is well known to those skilled in the art.
- the substrate is preferably a catalyst support of the wall flow type (wall flow filter) or of the flow type, in particular in the form of a monolith.

Fireproof ceramics such as corderite, silicon carbite or aluminum titanate etc. are preferably used.
- the number of nozzles per area is characterized by the cell density, which is typically between about 1,300 and 5,800 cells/cm 2 (200 and 900 cells per square inch, cpsi).
- the wall thickness of the nozzle walls for ceramics is between 0.5 - 0.05 mm.
- Porous wall flow filter substrates made of corderite, silicon carbide or aluminum titanate are preferably used. These wall flow filter substrates have inflow and outflow openings, with the outflow ends of the inflow openings and the inflow ends of the outflow openings offset from one another with gas-tight “plugs”.
- the exhaust gas to be cleaned which flows through the filter substrate, is forced to pass through porous wall forced between inflow and outflow openings, which results in an excellent particle filter effect.
- the filtration properties for particles can be designed through the porosity, pore/radius distribution, and thickness of the wall.
- the porosity of the uncoated wall flow filters is usually more than 40%, generally from 40% to 75%, especially from 50% to 70% (measured according to DIN 66133 - latest version on the filing date).

- Precious metals such as platinum, palladium, gold, rhodium, iridium, osmium, ruthenium and combinations thereof can also be used as catalytically active components.
- metals can also exist as alloys with each other or other metals or as oxides.
- the metals can also be present as precursors, such as nitrates, sulfites or organyls of the noble metals mentioned and mixtures thereof, in particular palladium nitrate, palladium sulfite, platinum nitrate, platinum sulfite or Pt(NH3)4(NOs)2 can be used.
- the catalytically active component can then be obtained from the precursor by calcination at about 400 ° C to about 700 ° C.
- Metal ions from the group of platinum metals in particular platinum, palladium and rhodium, for example, have proven suitable for the oxidation of hydrocarbons crystallized out, while, for example, the SCR reaction has proven to be most effective with zeolites or zeotypes (molecular sieves with other or additional elements as cations in the framework compared to zeolites) that are exchanged with iron and / or copper ions.
- the material causing the catalytic activity can therefore also contain zeolites or zeotypes. In principle, all types or mixtures of these that are suitable for the relevant area of application can be used as zeolites or zeotypes. These include naturally occurring, but preferably synthetically produced zeolites.
- zeolites and zeotypes can have framework types, for example, from the group consisting of Beta, Ferrierite, Y, USY, ZSM-5, ITQ.
- synthetically produced small-pore zeolites and zeotypes in question here are those that have the structure types ABW, AGO, AEI, AEN, AFN, AFT, AFX, ANA, APC, APD, ATN, ATT, ATV, AWO, AWW, BIK, BRE, CAS, ODO, CHA, DDR, DFT, EAB, EDI, EPI, ERI, ESV, GIS, GOO, IHW, ITE, ITW, JBW, KFI, LEV, LTA, LTJ, MER, MON, MTF, NSI, OWE, PAU, PHI, RHO, RTE, RTH, SAS, SAT, SAV, SIV, THO, TSC, UEI, UFI, VNI, YUG and Z

Weber, Springer Science & Business Media, 2010). All non-ion-exchanged cations are located elsewhere inside or outside the zeolite/zeotype. The latter do not compensate for the negative charge of the zeolite/zeol-type framework.
- the addition of the corresponding ions to the coating mixture is controlled so that the total amount of metal ions, in particular Fe and / or Cu ions in the final total catalyst is 0.5 - 10% by weight, preferably 1 - 5% by weight of the coating amount lies.
- the coating medium can also contain other components. These components can further support the catalytic function of the catalytically active material, but do not actively intervene in the reaction themselves.
- Materials used here include so-called binders. The latter ensure, among other things, that the materials and components involved in the reaction can adhere sufficiently firmly to the corresponding substrate. Binders selected from the group consisting of aluminum oxide, titanium dioxide, zirconium dioxide, silicon dioxide or their oxide hydroxides (for example boehmite) or mixtures thereof have proven to be advantageous components in this context. High-surface aluminum oxides are advantageously used here.
- the binder is used in the coating in a certain amount. Based on the solid material used in the coating suspension, the further component, for example the binder, is used in an amount of max. 25% by weight, preferably max. 20% by weight and most preferably in an amount of 5% by weight. - 15% by weight used.

- the catalytic coating of the substrate monolith can preferably be selected from the group consisting of three-way catalyst, SCR catalyst, nitrogen oxide storage catalyst, oxidation catalyst, soot ignition coating.

- the invention also relates to a method for coating a substrate with a coating medium using an applicator according to the invention, comprising the steps:
- step (a) takes place in an area above the substrate. Because of the at least partially oblique arrangement of the nozzles, the coating medium is applied to the substrate in an oblique jet, which leads to a particularly uniform coating.

- the end plate 9 is round, which allows the nozzles 5 to be arranged in concentric circles at even distances.
- the inclination of the nozzles 5 in the concentric circles is exclusively lateral and tangential, as can also be seen in FIG. 5 with the concentric circle patterns.
- the nozzles 5 in the concentric circles are not inclined inwards or outwards in the indicated radial direction. This enables the coating medium to be applied evenly.
- the nozzles 5 have a regular arrangement and equal distances from one another. This enables the coating medium to be distributed evenly into an area 10 above the substrate.
- the nozzles 5 in each concentric circle are essentially inclined towards the adjacent nozzle. This creates a regular discharge pattern. In addition, it is prevented that the jets of the coating medium from the nozzles 5 hit the substrate perpendicularly and that the coating medium undesirably penetrates into channels before the suppression is applied.
- the nozzles in FIGS. 2 to 5 have connectors 12 which protrude from the end plate.
- Fig. 3 shows a cross section of the end plate 9 with a laterally inclined nozzle 5 with a nozzle 12.
- FIG. 6 shows, by way of example and schematically, how coating medium 3 is discharged from a laterally inclined nozzle 7 and, for comparison, from a vertical nozzle 8 into the area 10 above the substrate 2.
- An oblique jet is generated from the laterally inclined nozzle 7, whereby the effect of the impact on the upwardly open fine channels 14 of the substrate 2 is weakened. In this way, unwanted penetration of the coating medium 3 into the channels 14 before suction can be prevented or at least significantly reduced, which leads to a more homogeneous coating.
- Figures 7 and 8 show photographs of cross sections of coated catalyst supports and illustrate the advantages of the invention.
- Figure 7 shows the cross-section of a prior art coated catalyst carrier made with an outlet plate applicator with vertical nozzles. The upper coated zone is dark and the lower uncoated zone is lighter.
- FIG. 8 shows the cross section of a catalyst support coated according to the invention.
- the carrier and resolution correspond to Figure 7, so the products are comparable.
- the zone boundary between the dark coated zone and the light uncoated zone is uniform and straight.
- Significant irregularities, as in Fig. 7, are not present.
- the slightly darker tone in some sections below the zone boundary is not caused by the penetration of the coating medium, but by shadows.
- the loose components, which can only be seen in FIG. 8, are caused by the splitting process and are also not relevant for comparing the coatings.
- the comparison of Figures 7 and 8 shows that a significant improvement in the uniformity of the coating can be achieved with the applicator according to the invention with laterally inclined nozzles.
- the applicator according to the invention solve the problem on which the invention is based.
- substrates such as catalyst supports for exhaust gas purification devices
