Description
- The present disclosure is directed to a particulate trap regeneration system and, more particularly, to a particulate trap regeneration system having a burner assembly configured to increase the temperature of exhaust gases directed to the particulate trap.
- Engines, including diesel engines, gasoline engines, natural gas engines, and other engines known in the art, may exhaust a complex mixture of air pollutants. The air pollutants may be composed of both gaseous and solid material, such as, for example, particulate matter. Particulate matter may include ash and unburned carbon particles called soot.
- Due to increased environmental concerns, exhaust emission standards have become more stringent. The amount of particulates and gaseous pollutants emitted from an engine may be regulated depending on the type, size, and/or class of engine. In order to meet these emissions standards, engine manufacturers have pursued improvements in several different engine technologies, such as fuel injection, engine management, and air induction, to name a few. In addition, engine manufacturers have developed devices for treatment of engine exhaust after it leaves the engine.
- Engine manufacturers have employed exhaust treatment devices called particulate traps to remove the particulate matter from the exhaust flow of an engine. A particulate trap may include a filter designed to trap particulate matter. The use of the particulate trap for extended periods of time, however, may enable particulate matter to accumulate on the filter, thereby causing the functionality of the filter and/or engine performance to decline.
- One method of restoring the performance of a particulate trap may include regeneration. Regeneration of a particulate trap filter system may be accomplished by increasing the temperature of the filter and the trapped particulate matter above the combustion temperature of the particulate matter, thereby burning away the collected particulate matter and regenerating the filter system. This increase in temperature may be effectuated by various means. For example, some systems employ a heating element (e.g., an electric heating element) to directly heat one or more portions of the particulate trap (e.g., the filter material or the external housing). Other systems have been configured to heat the exhaust gases upstream from the particulate trap allowing the flow of the heated gases through the particulate trap to transfer heat to the particulate trap. For example, some systems alter one or more engine operating parameters, such as air/fuel mixture, to produce exhaust gases with an elevated temperature. Running an engine with a “rich” air/fuel mixture can have such an effect on exhaust gas temperature.
- Other systems heat the exhaust gases upstream from the particulate trap, with the use of a burner that creates a flame within the exhaust conduit leading to the particulate trap. For example, one such burner system is disclosed by U.S. Pat. No. 4,641,524, issued to Brighton on Mar. 24, 1987 (“the '524 patent”). The '524 patent discloses a burner system configured to increase the temperature of exhaust gases directed to the particulate trap.
- While the system of the '524 patent may increase the overall temperature of the particulate trap, the system of the '524 patent does not include an exhaust outlet configured to direct the exhaust flow out of the burner toward the particulate trap, wherein the exhaust outlet is oriented in a different direction than an exhaust inlet. Further, the system of the '524 patent is not configured to impart rotational motion on fresh air introduced to a fuel injector of the burner to promote an even distribution of the burner flame.
- The disclosed burner assembly is directed toward overcoming one or more of the problems set forth above.
- In one aspect, the present disclosure is directed toward an exhaust treatment system. The system may include a particulate trap configured to remove one or more types of particulate matter from an exhaust flow, the exhaust flow including at least a portion of a totality of exhaust gases produced by an engine. The system may further include a burner assembly configured to increase a temperature of gases in the exhaust flow at a location upstream from the particulate trap. The burner assembly may include an exhaust inlet oriented in a direction along a first axis and configured to direct the exhaust flow into the burner assembly and an exhaust outlet oriented in a direction along a second axis at an angle relative to the first axis, the exhaust outlet being configured to direct the exhaust flow out of the burner assembly toward the particulate trap. The burner assembly may also include a fuel injector having a longitudinal axis in substantial alignment with the second axis. In addition, the burner assembly may include a cylindrical combustion chamber member defining a combustion chamber, having a longitudinal axis in substantial alignment with the longitudinal axis of the fuel injector, and configured to house a flame that is fueled by the fuel injector within the combustion chamber. The burner assembly may further include an exhaust flow distribution member configured to substantially evenly distribute exhaust about the combustion chamber member and in a heat exchange relation to the combustion chamber member.
- In another aspect, the present disclosure is directed toward work machine having an exhaust treatment system. The work machine may include an exhaust gas producing engine and an exhaust conduit for directing an exhaust flow to a particulate trap configured to remove one or more types of particulate matter from the exhaust flow, the exhaust flow including at least a portion of a totality of exhaust gases produced by the engine. The system may further include a burner assembly configured to increase a temperature of the exhaust flow at a location upstream from the particulate trap. The burner assembly may include an exhaust inlet configured to direct the exhaust flow into the burner assembly and an exhaust outlet configured to direct the exhaust flow out of the burner assembly toward the particulate trap, the exhaust outlet being oriented in a direction substantially perpendicular to the exhaust inlet. The burner assembly may also include a fuel injector having a longitudinal axis in substantial alignment with the direction in which the exhaust outlet is oriented. In addition, the burner assembly may include a cylindrical combustion chamber member defining a combustion chamber, having a longitudinal axis in substantial alignment with the longitudinal axis of the fuel injector, and configured to house a flame that is fueled by the fuel injector within the combustion chamber. The burner assembly may further include an exhaust flow distribution member positioned about the combustion chamber member and configured to substantially evenly distribute the exhaust flow about the combustion chamber member and in a heat exchange relation to the combustion chamber member.

-
FIG. 1 illustrates awork machine 10.Work machine 10 may include one ormore traction devices 12, anengine 14, and anexhaust treatment system 16. - Although
work machine 10 is shown as a truck,work machine 10 could be any type of machine having an exhaust producing engine. Accordingly,traction devices 12 may be any type of traction devices, such as, for example, wheels, as shown inFIG. 1 , tracks, belts, or any combinations thereof. -
Engine 14 may be any kind of engine that produces an exhaust flow of exhaust gases. For example,engine 14 may be an internal combustion engine, such as a gasoline engine, a diesel engine, a natural gas engine or any other exhaust gas producing engine. -
System 16 may include aparticulate trap 18 and anexhaust conduit 20 for directing all or a portion of the exhaust gases produced byengine 14 toparticulate trap 18.Particulate trap 18 may be configured to remove one or more types of particulate matter from the exhaust gases flowing throughexhaust conduit 20.Particulate trap 18 may include anouter housing 22, which may encase a filter material 24 (e.g., a metal mesh) for trapping particulate matter. -
System 16 may also include aburner assembly 26 configured to increase the temperature of the exhaust gases flowing throughexhaust conduit 20 upstream fromparticulate trap 18.Burner assembly 26 may be configured to maintain or restore the performance ofparticulate trap 18 through thermal regeneration. Accumulation of exhaust flow constituents inparticulate trap 18 may result in a decline in engine performance and/or possible damage toparticulate trap 18 and/or other components ofsystem 16.Burner assembly 26 may be configured to prevent or restore any decline in engine performance and avoid possible damage toparticulate trap 18 and/or other components ofsystem 16. For example,burner assembly 26 may be configured to cause at least some of the particulates that may have accumulated inparticulate trap 18 to be burned off. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 ,burner assembly 26 may include anexhaust inlet 28 configured to direct the exhaust flow fromengine 14 intoburner assembly 26.Burner assembly 26 may also include anexhaust outlet 30 configured to direct the exhaust flow out ofburner assembly 26 towardparticulate trap 18.Exhaust outlet 30 may be oriented in a direction along an axis at an angle relative to an axis in whichexhaust inlet 28 may be oriented. For example,exhaust outlet 30 may be oriented in a direction substantially perpendicular toexhaust inlet 28, as shown inFIG. 2 , or at any other angle relative to exhaustinlet 28. -
Burner assembly 26 may include afuel injector 32 having alongitudinal axis 34 in substantial alignment with the direction in whichexhaust outlet 30 is oriented.Fuel injector 32 may be configured to deliver fuel and fresh air toburner assembly 26 to fuel a flame.Fuel injector 32 may be housed within anair plenum 36. A fresh air supply forfuel injector 32 may be directed through anair inlet 38 into anair chamber 40 withinair plenum 36. This air may then be directed through openings (seeFIG. 3 ) in an outerannular wall 42 about afuel conduit 44, through which fuel may be directed.Fuel injector 32 is described in greater detail below with regard toFIG. 3 . -
Fuel injector 32 may be configured to deliver the fuel and fresh air to acombustion chamber 46, defined by a cylindricalcombustion chamber member 48.Combustion chamber member 48 may include anupstream end 50 and adownstream end 52 and may be in substantial alignment withlongitudinal axis 34 offuel injector 32.Combustion chamber member 48 may be configured to house a flame withincombustion chamber 46 that may be fueled byfuel injector 32.Burner assembly 26 may be configured to burn such a flame on a constant or intermittent basis. Further,burner assembly 26 may be configured to vary the intensity, strength, duration, and/or size of the flame. In one embodiment,burner assembly 26 may be configured to burn a flame intermittently based on an amount of particulates accumulated byparticulate trap 18. For example,burner assembly 26 may be configured to burn a flame based on one or more indicators thatparticulate trap 18 has or may have accumulated a predetermined amount of particulates. Such indicators may include time of engine operation (e.g., since the last regeneration of particulate trap 18) or other engine operating parameters, an increase in back pressure upstream fromparticulate trap 18, a pressure differential acrossparticulate trap 18, etc. -
Burner assembly 26 may also include an ignition device, such as aspark plug 54.Spark plug 54 may be configured to create a spark withincombustion chamber 46 to thereby ignite the mixture of fuel and fresh air.Spark plug 54 may be fired periodically to ignite the fuel being delivered byfuel injector 32. For example,spark plug 54 may be fired when fuel delivery is initiated in order to ignite the flame. Further,spark plug 54 may be fired continually to help further stabilize the flame (e.g., keep it burning consistently and with consistent intensity). For example,spark plug 54 may be fired continually whenever fuel is being delivered byfuel injector 32. -
Burner assembly 26 may include an exhaustflow distribution member 56, which may be positioned aboutcombustion chamber member 48. For example, exhaustflow distribution member 56 may be positioned concentrically aboutcombustion chamber member 48. Exhaustflow distribution member 56 may be configured to substantially evenly distribute exhaust gases aboutcombustion chamber member 48 in a heat exchange relation tocombustion chamber member 48. Exhaustflow distribution member 56 may includeholes 58 to facilitate this substantially even distribution of exhaust gases aboutcombustion chamber member 48. In addition, exhaustflow distribution member 56 may be configured to cause the exhaust gases to impinge on the outer surface ofcombustion chamber member 48, thus, providing cooling ofcombustion chamber member 48. This cooling may result from the temperature of the exhaust gases being relatively lower than that ofcombustion chamber member 48, which may be heated by the flame withincombustion chamber 46. Thus, the heat exchange relation means that the exhaust gases may draw heat away from (i.e., cool)combustion chamber member 48. -
Exhaust outlet 30 may include aconical portion 60.Conical portion 60 may haveholes 62 in it, a narrowupstream end 64 attached todownstream end 52 ofcombustion chamber member 48, and a widedownstream end 66, wider thanupstream end 64, and through which all exhaust flow directed throughburner assembly 26 may pass.Exhaust outlet 30 may further include abaffle 68 located withinconical portion 60 ofexhaust outlet 30 and which may be configured to stabilize the flame that is fueled byfuel injector 32. That is,baffle 68 may stabilize the flame by creating a partial barrier to restrain the flame from propagating too far downstream, which could cause damage toparticulate trap 18.Baffle 68 may include an unperforatedcentral portion 70 for restraining the central portion of the flame.Baffle 68 may also includeholes 72 about its periphery for allowing limited flame propagation beyondbaffle 68. The peripheral location ofholes 72 and the resulting peripheral flame propagation may contribute to a discharge of the exhaust gases fromexhaust outlet 30 having a substantially uniform temperature and velocity. -
FIG. 3 illustrates a cross sectional view offuel injector 32.Fuel conduit 44 may include one ormore holes 74 through which fuel may be delivered to anannular cavity 76 defined betweenfuel conduit 44 and outerannular wall 42. Outerannular wall 42 may be concentric withfuel conduit 44.Holes 74 may be configured to atomize the fuel in preparation for combustion. Fresh air may be drawn intoannular cavity 76 through openings in outerannular wall 42, such asholes 78 and/orlongitudinal slots 80. Thus,burner assembly 26 may be configured to introduce fresh air tofuel injector 32 upstream of the exhaust flow and downstream of a location at which fuel leavesfuel conduit 44. -
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional illustration offuel injector 32 taken at section line 4-4 inFIG. 3 . As shown inFIG. 4 ,longitudinal slots 80 may be angled so as to impart a rotational (“swirling”) motion on the fresh air within the annular cavity. Such rotational motion of the fresh air may also create swirling motion of the atomized fuel being dispensed intoannular cavity 76 fromfuel conduit 44. The swirling motion of the air/fuel mixture may contribute to a uniform distribution of fuel, as well as uniformity in the size of fuel droplets. - The disclosed
burner assembly 26 may be suitable to enhance exhaust emissions control for engines.Burner assembly 26 may be used for any application of an engine. Such applications may include, for example, stationary equipment such as power generation sets, or mobile equipment, such as vehicles. The disclosed system may be used for any kind of vehicle, such as, for example, automobiles, work machines (including those for on-road, as well as off-road use), and other heavy equipment. -
Burner assembly 26 may be configured to raise the temperature of exhaust gases flowing through it without undesirably restricting the flow of such gases. With minimal flow restriction,burner assembly 26 may avoid creating backpressure withinexhaust conduit 20 that could inhibit engine performance. Further,burner assembly 26 may be configured to generate an output flow of exhaust gases atexhaust outlet 30 with a substantially uniform temperature and velocity. -
Burner assembly 26 may be configured to raise the temperature of exhaust gases flowing through it by exposing them to a fueled flame. The exhaust gases may be mixed with the flame in stages, as the exhaust gases and flame proceed downstream to prevent the rapidly flowing exhaust gases from extinguishing the flame. The flame may burn withincombustion chamber 46 defined bycombustion chamber member 48 and may propagate downstream intoconical portion 60 ofexhaust outlet 30. A small portion of the exhaust gases may be allowed to entercombustion chamber 46 to supply additional oxygen to the flame to burn off any remaining fuel not burned off using the fresh air supplied. This additional oxygen may enable the flame to propagate further downstream. - More of the exhaust gases may be allowed to enter
conical portion 60 upstream ofbaffle 68 and may also supply additional oxygen to the flame, while being heated by it. The flame withinconical portion 60 upstream ofbaffle 68 may propagate throughholes 72 ofbaffle 68 creating a wake on the downstream side of unperforatedcentral portion 70. Gases within this wake may have a low flow rate, which may provide for a flame that does little propagating downstream from that point. The remainder of the exhaust gases may be allowed to enterconical portion 60 downstream ofbaffle 68. This remainder of gases may include most of the exhaust gases directed throughexhaust inlet 28. This remainder of gases may be heated by the flame withinconical portion 60 downstream ofbaffle 68. Hole patterns inconical portion 60 may contribute to the exhaust gases exiting fromexhaust outlet 30 with a substantially uniform temperature and velocity. - By introducing fresh air to
fuel injector 32 and swirling the fresh air, a stronger, more consistent, more stable, and more evenly distributed flame may be generated than if the exhaust gases were provided as the only source of oxygen to the flame and/or if no swirling were generated. Additionally, becauseexhaust inlet 28 may be oriented in a direction perpendicular tocombustion chamber member 48,exhaust inlet 28 may direct the exhaust gases towardcombustion chamber member 48 to provide significant cooling ofcombustion chamber member 48.Holes 58 incombustion chamber member 48 may facilitate even distribution of the exhaust gases aboutcombustion chamber member 48, which may promote cooling efficiency. - It will be apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the disclosed burner assembly for particulate trap regeneration without departing from the scope of the invention. Other embodiments of the invention will be apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art from consideration of the specification and practice of the invention disclosed herein. It is intended that the specification and examples be considered as exemplary only, with a true scope of the invention being indicated by the following claims and their equivalents.
