Catalyst thermal regeneration by exhaust gas
View Patent ↗Method and system for thermal regeneration of a catalyst by inlet turbine exhaust gas from a diesel engine, where a gas split stream ( 08 ) is led from the engine exhaust ( 02 ) through an eductor ( 04 ) and further to regeneration of a catalyst, wherein a cold air stream ( 09 ) is used to keep the regeneration gas stream at a desired constant temperature range.
1. System for thermal regeneration of a catalyzed soot filter in an engine exhaust gas cleaning unit comprising:
one or more exhaust gas pipes connected to a turbine of a turbocharger;
an eductor comprising a motive inlet, a suction inlet and an outlet;
one or more exhaust gas split stream pipes connecting the one or more exhaust gas pipes upstream of the turbine of the turbocharger with the motive inlet of the eductor;
an air pipe connected to the suction inlet of the eductor;
a flow regulation valve mounted in the air pipe; and
an eductor outlet pipe connected to the educator outlet.
2. System for thermal regeneration of a catalyzed soot filter in an engine exhaust gas cleaning unit according to claim 1 , wherein the engine is marine diesel engine.
3. System for thermal regeneration of a catalyzed soot filter in an engine exhaust gas cleaning unit according to claim 1 , further comprising regulating valve arranged in the one or more exhaust gas split stream pipes adapted to open, shut or regulate the exhaust gas flow to the motive inlet of the eductor.
4. System for thermal regeneration of a catalyzed soot filter in an engine exhaust gas cleaning unit according to claim 1 , wherein the exhaust gas from the engine has a temperature of 400° C.-520° C.
5. System for thermal regeneration of a catalyzed soot filter in an engine exhaust gas cleaning unit according to claim 1 , wherein the exhaust gas from the engine has a pressure of 1-2.5 barg.
