Abstract

A selective catalytic reduction and catalytic regeneration system includes: a main exhaust flow path; a reactor which is installed on the main exhaust flow path; a bypass exhaust flow path which branches off from the main exhaust flow path, and bypasses the reactor; an ammonia injection unit, which injects ammonia to the exhaust gas which is to flow into the reactor; a hydrolysis chamber, which produces ammonia to be supplied to the ammonia injection unit; a branch flow path, which branches off from the main exhaust flow path at a front side of the reactor; a recirculation flow path, which branches off from the main exhaust flow path at a rear side of the reactor, and merges with the branch flow path; and a multifunctional flow path, which connects the hydrolysis chamber with a point where the branch flow path and the recirculation flow path merge together.

Claims (46)

1. A selective catalytic reduction and catalytic regeneration system comprising:

a main exhaust flow path along which exhaust gas containing nitrogen oxide (NOx) moves;

a reactor, which is installed on the main exhaust flow path and includes a catalyst for reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) in the exhaust gas;

a bypass exhaust flow path, which branches off from the main exhaust flow path, bypasses the reactor, and merges with the main exhaust flow path again;

an ammonia injection unit, which is installed on the main exhaust flow path, and injects ammonia (NH 3 ) to the exhaust gas that flows into the reactor;

a hydrolysis chamber, which is supplied with urea, and produces ammonia to be supplied to the ammonia injection unit;

an ammonia supply flow path, which connects the ammonia injection unit with the hydrolysis chamber;

a branch flow path, which branches off from the main exhaust flow path at a front side of the reactor;

a recirculation flow path, which branches off from the main exhaust flow path at a rear side of the reactor, and merges with the branch flow path; and

a multifunctional flow path, which connects the hydrolysis chamber with a point where the branch flow path and the recirculation flow path merge together.

2. The selective catalytic reduction and catalytic regeneration system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first main exhaust valve, which is installed on the main exhaust flow path between the urea injection unit and a point where the branch flow path branches off;

a second main exhaust valve, which is installed on the main exhaust flow path between a point where the recirculation flow path branches off and a point where the bypass exhaust flow path merges;

a bypass exhaust valve, which is installed on the bypass exhaust flow path;

a branch valve, which is installed on the branch flow path; and

a recirculation valve, which is installed on the recirculation flow path, wherein the first main exhaust valve, the second main exhaust valve, the bypass exhaust valve, the branch valve, and the recirculation valve are separately operated in any one operation state of a purification operation state and a regeneration operation state.

3. The selective catalytic reduction and catalytic regeneration system of claim 2 , wherein in the purification operation state, the first main exhaust valve and the second main exhaust valve are opened, and the bypass exhaust valve and the recirculation valve are closed, and wherein in the regeneration operation state, the first main exhaust valve and the second main exhaust valve are closed, and the bypass exhaust valve and the recirculation valve are opened.

4. The selective catalytic reduction and catalytic regeneration system of claim 2 , further comprising:

a urea supply unit, which supplies urea to the hydrolysis chamber; and

a chamber connecting flow path, which connects the urea supply unit with the hydrolysis chamber.

5. The selective catalytic reduction and catalytic regeneration system of claim 4 , further comprising:

a urea injection unit, which is installed on the main exhaust flow path, and injects urea to the exhaust gas that flows into the reactor; and

a urea supply flow path, which connects the urea supply unit to the urea injection unit.

6. The selective catalytic reduction and catalytic regeneration system of claim 5 , wherein the ammonia injection unit is positioned more adjacent to the reactor than the urea injection unit is positioned to the reactor.

7. The selective catalytic reduction and catalytic regeneration system of claim 5 , further comprising:

an ammonia supply valve, which is installed on the chamber connecting flow path; and

a urea supply valve, which is installed on the urea supply flow path.

8.

9. The selective catalytic reduction and catalytic regeneration system of claim 8 , wherein in the purification operation state, when a temperature of exhaust gas that flows into the reactor through the main exhaust flow path is at a first preset temperature, the branch valve and the ammonia supply valve are opened, and the urea supply valve is closed, so that ammonia is injected into the main exhaust flow path.

10. The selective catalytic reduction and catalytic regeneration system of claim 8 , wherein in the purification operation state, when a temperature of exhaust gas that flows into the reactor through the main exhaust flow path is at a second preset temperature, the branch valve, the ammonia supply valve, and the urea supply valve are opened, so that both ammonia and urea are injected into the main exhaust flow path.

11. The selective catalytic reduction and catalytic regeneration system of claim 8 , wherein in the purification operation state, when a temperature of exhaust gas that flows into the reactor through the main exhaust flow path is at a third preset temperature, the branch valve and the ammonia supply valve are closed, and the urea supply valve is opened, so that urea is injected into the main exhaust flow path.
