Abstract

An exhaust gas purifying facility of a combustion engine includes: a marine combustion engine; a reducing device for feeding urea water into an exhaust gas in an exhaust gas line of the marine combustion engine; and a generation device for generating the urea water from urea powder. The generation device includes a storage-generation tank device and an adjustment tank device capable of adjusting the density of the urea water. The storage-generation tank device has a storage-generation tank for storing the urea powder and feeding water to the urea powder for dissolution. The adjustment tank device has an adjustment tank for storing the urea water withdrawn from the storage-generation tank.

Claims (39)

1. An exhaust gas purifying facility of a combustion engine, comprising:

a combustion engine;

a reducing agent spraying device for feeding a reducing agent solution into an exhaust gas in an exhaust gas line of the combustion engine;

a reducing catalyst for removing air pollutants from the exhaust gas fed with the reducing agent solution; and

a generation device for generating the reducing agent solution from reducing agent powder,

wherein the generation device includes:

a storage-generation tank device having a storage-generation tank for storing the reducing agent powder and feeding a solvent to the reducing agent powder for dissolution, the storage-generation tank formed of a single tank,

wherein the storage-generation tank device includes a densifying device for densifying the reducing agent solution generated in the storage-generation tank,

wherein the densifying device includes:

a generation density meter for measuring a density of the reducing agent solution; and

a densifying line for returning the reducing agent solution generated in the storage-generation tank back to the storage-generation tank to dissolve the reducing agent powder again.

2. The exhaust gas purifying facility of a combustion engine according to claim 1 , wherein

an adjustment tank device includes a dilution device for adjusting the density of the reducing agent solution, and

the dilution device includes a solvent supplementing line for supplementing the solvent to the adjustment tank.

3. The exhaust gas purifying facility of a combustion engine according to claim 1 , further comprises:

an adjustment tank device includes a solution stirring device for stirring the reducing agent solution, and

the solution stirring device includes a stirring line for withdrawing the reducing agent solution from the adjustment tank and returning the reducing agent solution to the adjustment tank, so as to circulate the reducing agent solution and stir the reducing agent solution in the adjustment tank.

4. The exhaust gas purifying facility of a combustion engine according to claim 1 , wherein

the combustion engine is a marine combustion engine,

the exhaust gas purifying facility includes:

a solvent generator for generating the solvent by extracting fresh water from sea water; and

a solvent feeding line for feeding the solvent to the storage-generation tank, and

the solvent feeding line is provided with a heating device for heating the solvent to an appropriate temperature.

5. The exhaust gas purifying facility of a combustion engine according to claim 1 , wherein

the storage-generation tank device includes:

a solution storage portion for storing the reducing agent solution separated from the reducing agent powder by a solid-liquid separation member; and

a solvent detector for detecting a liquid phase surface of the reducing agent solution in the adjustment tank.

6. An exhaust gas purifying facility of a combustion engine, comprising:

a combustion engine;

a reducing agent spraying device for feeding a reducing agent solution into an exhaust gas in an exhaust gas line of the combustion engine;

a reducing catalyst for removing air pollutants from the exhaust gas fed with the reducing agent solution; and

a generation device for generating the reducing agent solution from reducing agent powder,

wherein the generation device includes:

a storage-generation tank device having a storage-generation tank for storing the reducing agent powder and feeding a solvent to the reducing agent powder for dissolution; and

an adjustment tank device having an adjustment tank for storing the reducing agent solution withdrawn from the storage-generation tank, the adjustment tank device being capable of adjusting a density of the reducing agent solution, the adjustment tank device including a density adjustment device for adjusting the density of the reducing agent solution into an appropriate range, and

wherein the density adjustment device includes:

an adjustment density meter for measuring the density of the reducing agent solution of the adjustment tank;

a return flow line for returning the reducing agent solution of the adjustment tank to the storage-generation tank to dissolve the reducing agent powder again; and

a dilution line for supplementing the solvent to the adjustment tank.
