Waste gas treating device having flow regulating assembly
View Patent ↗An apparatus for treating an exhaust gas comprising: (a) an inlet duct through which the exhaust gas is flowed in, (b) a bend portion, and (c) a catalyst duct connected to the inlet duct through the bend portion, and having a catalyst for purifying the exhaust gas and disposed in the catalyst duct, a baffle structure comprising plural baffle plates disposed at the inlet of the catalyst duct in the direction of the cross section of the catalyst duct, wherein the plural baffle plates are formed and arranged so that the heights of the baffle plates gradually increase in the direction from the side of the inlet duct toward the extremity of the bend portion to make the flow distribution of the exhaust gas uniform in the direction of the cross section of the catalyst duct at the outlets of the exhaust gas in the baffle structure.
1. An apparatus for treating an exhaust gas, the apparatus comprising:
(a) an inlet duct through which the exhaust gas is flowed in,
(b) a bend portion, and
(c) a catalyst duct connected to the inlet duct through the bend portion, and having a catalyst used for purifying the exhaust gas and disposed in the catalyst duct,
the apparatus further having a baffle structure comprising plural baffle plates disposed at the inlet of the catalyst duct in the direction of the cross section of the catalyst duct,
wherein the plural baffle plates are formed and arranged so that the heights of the baffle plates being first gradually increased from the extremity of the inlet duct side to L 1 and then maintained constant from L 1 to L 0 when the distance from the extremity of the inlet duct side to the extremity of the bend portion was assumed to be L 0 and a prescribed distance in between was assumed to be L 1 , respectively.
2. The apparatus for treating an exhaust gas according to claim 1 wherein the height of a baffle plate satisfies the following equations (1) and (3) within the range of 0≦L≦L 1 and satisfies the following equations (2) and (3) within the range of L 1 ≦L≦L 0 :
H =L/L 1 ×h 1 +h 0 (for 0 ≦L≦L 1 ) (1)
H=h 1 +h 0 (for L 1 ≦L≦L 0 (2)
0 ≦L 1 ≦L 0/ 2 (3)
wherein H is the height of an optional baffle plate,
L is the distance between the extremity of the inlet duct side and the optional baffle plate which is apart from the extremity of the inlet duct side in the direction toward the extremity of the bend portion, in the baffle structure,
h 1 is the distance between the bottom surface of the inlet duct and the upper end of the baffle plate positioned at the extremity of the bend portion,
h 0 is the height of the baffle plate positioned at the extremity of the inlet duct side,
L 0 is the distance between the extremity of the inlet duct side and the extremity of the bend portion in the baffle structure, and
L 1 is the distance in which the heights of baffle plates are gradually increased from the extremity of the inlet duct side toward the extremity of the bend portion.
