Patent number: 7895828Abstract: The present invention relates to a structure of a liquid reducing agent injection nozzle in an exhaust emission purifying system arranged to inject and supply a liquid reducing agent into an exhaust flow passage so as to reduce and purify NOx in exhaust gas. A nozzle tip end portion of the liquid reducing agent injection nozzle which protrudes from a wall surface of an exhaust flow passage into the passage, is bent obliquely with respect to an exhaust flow direction, or nozzle holes of the nozzle tip end portion are formed so as to tilt in the exhaust flow direction with respect to a radial direction perpendicular to a center axis of the nozzle tip end portion or are unevenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the nozzle tip end portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2007Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: Nissan Diessel Motor Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hirokazu Satou

Patent number: 7805930Abstract: The present invention is directed to defrost a reducing agent with cooling water of an engine and to prevent water scale from being deposited and accumulated on a cooling water pipe for circulating the cooling water. A frozen reducing agent is defrosted by being heated with cooling water of an engine. A cooling water pipe for guiding the cooling water to a reducing agent tank is provided with a cutoff valve. To defrost the reducing agent, the cutoff valve is opened. Even in the case where the reducing agent is not frozen, the cutoff valve is opened for a predetermined period after start of the cutoff valve to circulate the cooling water in the cooling water pipe.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2007Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: Nissan Diesel Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hirokazu Satou, Mitsuhiro Nishina

Patent number: 7758826Abstract: Mounted on an upper surface of a container main body are a base of a water level indicator detecting a remaining amount of liquid reducing agent, a base of a densitometer detecting concentration of liquid reducing agent, a heat exchanger surrounding detectors of the water level indicator and the densitometer, and circulating engine coolant for heat exchange between liquid reducing agent and engine coolant, and a suction tube for sucking liquid reducing agent from a position adjacent to the bottom of container main body and between water level indicator and densitometer. A box-shaped protector surrounds the water level indicator, densitometer and suction tube which are located in a region adjacent to a lower portion of the heat exchanger. Heat from the heat exchanger is trapped in the protector to generate convection in that region, thereby unfreezing frozen liquid reducing agent around the water level indicator, densitometer and suction tube.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2006Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: Nissan Diesel Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hirokazu Satou, Hiroyuki Kurita, Hideki Matsunaga, Yasushi Osaku, Toshio Kondou, Kiyoshi Fukuda
